Summary: Pearl in the Mist
Review: Pearl in the Mist was the best book that i have read my V.C Andrews. I tells the story of a young girl, Ruby that was brought into a life that she knew nothing about. With all the lies that she had to endure, she was able to fall in love. Who knew that he love for Beau would take her for a emotional ride. After going though life Ruby loses the two things that meant the most to her. Beau and her father. She leaves the life that she had been brought in to and went back to the life that she knew before. There she finds a lost love and a lost brother. IF you like a book that is full of surprises and suspence, i highly recomened this book. As well as the other books in this series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A gem of a story
Review: Pearl in the Mist was the first Landry series book I read (not reazling Ruby came first...smart huh?) Anyway, I was completely absorbed in it from the very first page. Until I finished that book, I could think of nothing else. Short and simple, I loved the story. I loved the connection between Ruby and Beau. Ok, true, I know they slept together just about every chance they got, and yeah that got to be annoying, but Ruby lived in such a depressing world. Her father just died, Daphne didn't care for her, school was miserable...and here's this great, handsome guy who loves her just as much as she loves him. It's natural, and it gave her some sunshine in an otherwise dreary life. The fact that she got pregnant...well it was kind of obvious that would happen. I felt so bad that Beau's parents sent him away (though I don't condone his not fighting to stay) but I still hold hope that they'll find each other again. She can't live with Paul - they're related! I don't care how much he loves her, it's gross. Get over it. I have a feeling in All That Glitters, a triangle forms....Anyway, this was a good read with great characters (especially the supporting cast) and melt-your-heart romance and neat twists. Enjoy! And read the next books too!

Summary: Pauvre, pauvre Ruby...
Review: Poor, poor, Ruby. Her sister's a gerk, her kind father is dead, her stepmom is evil, and her boyfriend get her pregnant and left her. This book has characters straight out of Cinderella. It's the first V.C. Andrews book I read, and I must admit that it was somewhat trashy but fun. Sort of like Jackie Collins novels, only with younger characters. Amusing, nevertheless.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: The Best series of books i have ever read
Review: these books are a wonderful and magical tale of a girl in the louisiana bayou searching for herself. the plots are so mezmerizing and you really get caught up in the character's thoughts. i highly reccomend these books to anyone wanting an escape from their own troubles.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a sick author
Review: This author always has to have some sick twist of incest in every book she writes! The books come out good but the incest gotta go.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Patience is a virtue
Review: This book is all about one who has to endure a lot over many changes that takes her away from the little that she had. Her love, her father, her uncle and her new home that she loved. With her sister being as cruel it didnt make it any easier. This book just says that you have to wait and be patient. Though it may be fustrating more then half the times you have to see it throught. Dont run away, face it! If you read this book you will see that there are many fights fought by us everyday. Its up to us to make tommorow better then yesterday and today. Read it and you'll see that patience is a virtue that everyone dosent want but in the end you'll see that you have gone far. Just like she did. It might not be what and how you wanted it. The main thing is to make the best of it and dont lose hope.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This was a wonderful book
Review: this book was great, I have also read many other books by this author, she was very talented I recomend Flowers in the Attic, and the series that goes along with that and also the Melody series and the Cutler series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Shady Genre That Keeps Selling Though Andrews Died In 80s
Review: This is a sleazy series, ghostwritten (obviously, since Andrews died sometime during the 1980s), that recycles all the traumatic events in her early books into a new package with yet another sweet but hapless little girl on the cover. The writing is bad, the characters are thinly drawn, and the story is just a bastardized version of the real Andrews' novels. I thought the market for the "girl who is partially orphaned, then betrayed by adoptive parents, then falls in forbidden incestuous love with some relative, and then is raped by some other relative"-story was called the porn industry. I can't believe this is actually becoming like a genre unto itself. How totally shady!

Rating: 2 stars
