Summary: The best of the series so far!
Review: After reading "Wicked Forest...I didn't know what to expect from this book. I was truly surprised that I liked it more than the first two. Sure, Hannah was a whiner...but at least she did something adventurous!!!!! I didn't care for the ending much...but it was a great book!

Summary: Boring at first...
Review: At first the story is very boring, it's long and cliché, it only get good when they Hannah, Heyden and her uncle Linden left Palm Beach and when they arrived at Casa Luna, the Ghost writer should had wrote a novel about the Stanton family instead of De Beers, they are much more interesting. I think Hannah was a cry baby at the beggining, come on being jealous of a little baby. How can she feel her mother love her less, it didn't seem so, they try to include Hannah in everything, also her step-father was very nice to her. How can she feel she had no real family? Her mother, her uncle and the family of her step-father love her, okay maybe the family of her step-father were not blood relate to her but they are family.I think Heyden was often too harsh on Hannah, even rude and when he left her I though he was very coward but at the end we understand why he left but still I still feel he was selfish to did that.I think it would had been nice if Linden and Bess would had get married and they would have been happy again but no Linden go back to his resident home and Bess stay with her grand-mother and Chubs.At the end Willow told her daughter that she did had blame her (Hannah) for the death of little Claude, how selfish of her to felt that, because she want better to feel angry at someone, blame someone for the death of her baby, it make her feel better. Well it was a very good thing then that Hannah ran off.Why having Cade die? I think they had enough drama in this book allraady and poor Danielle, Thatcher cheat on her and she move with Adrian to Frence, yeah poor them. I wonder what happen to Thatcher, having a frivolous life, who had no real meaning, must be very lonely that type of life, well is if Thatcher got feelings, which I doubt, he just like the other rich people of Palm Beach self-center!I think the letter Summer send to Hannah and tell her her life story and the one of her mother and in the same time recommand she read the serie of her mother life and hers too but starting with Rain of course! That just a way for the Ghost writer to publicise his books!

Summary: Better than I thought
Review: Based on the title, I thought this was a medical-dental text on how to perform difficult root-canal procedures, but silly me, it's actually a novel. Who would have guessed?After looking at it for a while, I agree with the other reviewers here that this book is far more interesting than I originally thought, and I plan to read the rest of it while sitting in my dentist's chair getting that overdue root canal done.

Summary: I Enjoyed This Book!
Review: Hanna Eaton looks like she has it made living with her wealthy parents, (mother and stepfather), and a crowd of great friends. But what no one from the outside realizes is that Hanna feels very left out and unloved. Her mother is expecting her second child so many years later, and it seems that she has no time at all to even think about Hanna. Especially when the baby Claude is born, and is a sickly child. Her mother is totally devoted to the baby, and Hanna might as well not exist.
But there is a new boyfriend in Hanna's life, Heyden. And when he gets involved in the picture, they discover that they have quite a talent for music singing together and playing guitar. So they form a plan with the help of Hanna's disabled uncle, to get to New Orleans where the jobs are. So they rent a mobile home, and off they go to New Orleans as soon as Hanna sneaks away from home. But what they discover once on the road, is not what they had thought at all. In fact, life takes on a whole different meaning for all of them.

Summary: Is it just me, or are these books losing their sparkle?
Review: I am a big V.C. Andrews fan, but i must say that the man writing under her name (yes, she is in fact dead) is really desperate for some new plot lines. It seems like the same thing happens in every book: young girl suffers bad family life, gets a boyfriend, has sex, someone destroys her reputation, she makes a big mistake, and then everything falls into place in the end. Well, it was good in the first couple of series', but it's getting old. This book was ok, not great, not horrid, but it just didn't have the same suck you in storyline as, say, the Landry series. Read it if you want, but it's nothing compared to Willow and Dark Forest (i think that's what it was called). So if you read it, you can pass some time, if you don't, you're not missing anything. It's the same story that he's told a million times.

Summary: mmm...
Review: I am a fan of the Debeers series however after reading the first three books, I found none of the endings satisfacting whatsoever. I remember after reading Wicked Forest, I practically threw the book at my wall in frustration. lol At least this one was not so sad, I guess. Hannah, the main character now, seemed almost TOO immature at the beginning. And I wish things had worked out between she and her boyfriend. I will definitely read the 4th book in the series... the plot is still very addicting.

Summary: Not the greatest but not so bad...
Review: I am not a fan of the DeBeers, I didn't really like Willow and the whole thing with Palm Springs... but I like Hannah. Hannah had a lot of more of what a VCA gal should have, also Heyden was classically VCA/GW. He really reminded me of Logan from Casteel, not a fave of mine but at least believable. Willow was a sell-out in this book and fullfilled all the horrible things she stood up against in the other books and in her childhood.
I also loved the Southern thing and think the Stanton's could have had a series of their own. They reminded me of the Adare's in a way I hope the GW brings more of that kind of magic and mystery back into VCA.
I can't wait to read about Grace and hopefully Bunny too... all in all not too bad... way better than Summer.

Summary: I don't know, I actually liked it.
Review: I read this on a plane and I actually liked this book. It was entertaining enough and trashy enough. It's from the point of view of Willow's oversheltered, filthy rich daughter. Hannah was a great character-yes, she called her mother mommy, but she had a mind of her own and she didn't fawn over her mother like some of the other Vc Andrews daughters did. Both her mother and father do things that annoy her throughout the book, which was refreshing. Her father and Daniel were not one hundred percent evil, they came in shades of gray, for a ghostwriter novel. Her father was self absorbed and impersonal, but her mother was also selfabsorbed and negligent and haybrained. So Hannah makes the choice of running away with her crazy uncle and her boyfriend and she is forced to face the consequences, which I thought were actually realistic. The only time I got bored was when they were staying with those people, because I found them irrelevant to the story. But Hannah actually seemed pretty smart to me, and there were points in this book I could really cheer her on. Her dysfunctional relationship with her spoiled yuppie brothers was also really entertaining. I could just see that family. I also thought Cady and Adrian were great little villians. And the plot wasn't as absurd and ridiculous as Into the Garden or the Hudson series, which actually stopped me from reading VC andrews for awhile. This was decent, and Grace's story looks like it could be interesting as well.

Summary: Good
Review: I see that this book is getting mixed reviews, and the thing is I agree with all of them. While Hannah is kind of spoiled and selfish like those on her father's side of the family, she has a good heart that's in the right place. She's not all sweetness and perfection like Christie, Annie and Pearl. She's pampered, but not blind to the misfortunes of others. I give it four stars for being a book that can stand on it's own outside of a series and not the same old "daughter" story.
And I agree with everyone that the Hudson series is a waste of paper, by the way!
