Summary: Disappointing
Review: The first two stories in the Wildflowers Series were great. I was really excited to read "Jade" - but I was very disappointed. Jade is a beautiful, rich girl with parents who absoultely hate each other. Her mom is favoring her and fillig her mind with horrible stories of her father, and her dad is doing the same. Jade is wrapped up in the viscious court battle, to see which parent will get custody, and it is driving her insane. Soon, she starts to go into chatrooms, and meets Craig - a teenager with problems like her's. One night, when the situation with her parents becomes absoultely unbearable, she hops on a plane to California to meet Craig. When she gets there - she finds herself in one of the most dangerous situations in her entire life.I loved the first two books, but in my opinion, VC Andrews is slacking. This book was good for the last twenty-ish pages. The first hundered or so were very slow and boring, then it was interesting...then it was so utterly disturbing I had to stop reading it. It took me about two weeks to finish, because I really didn't want to read it because it's such a sick and disturbing story. I expect more from "Cat" the next in the series.

Summary: Pathetic writing from a once classic writer
Review: This book and the series is by far the worst I have read. Each time I finish a series of late I tell myself it is the last VC Andrews books I will ever read. I am sure VC Andrews is rolling over in her grave to have such elementary garbage written in her name. Her stories were famous for the depth and character they portrayed. A reader would be swept up in all the drama. Now, they are just a boring fairy-tale. Time for the ghost writer to step aside while the damage is still slight.

Summary: Building into something terrific
Review: This series is better than the last. The characters sneak up on you and get under your skin. You can't leave them. I can't wait for Cat's story and Into the Garden. Best yet and very contemporary....finally!

Summary: Building up
Review: This story is the 3rd installment of the Wildflower Series. Jade comes from a wealthy family. At first glance, I didn't expect to get much from her story, but I quickly learned otherwise. Jade's parents are getting a divorce, but being the competitive business people that they are, neither of them are willing to give in to the other on any matter. They both remain in the house because neither of them want to lose it. Not because of any attachment, but because of their desire to "one up" the other. Their heated battles at home and in court are slowly tearing Jade apart. Now she has become a pawn in their divorce. Not because of their great love for her, but because she is another asset to battle over. Unable to take anymore, Jade makes a nearly fatal decision. Every book in this series of four girls brought together in group therapy to tell their stories has really captured my attention. I can't wait to read the next one.

Summary: A good edition to the series
Review: When Jade's parents got married they're marriage was more like a buisness partnership. Everything was divided down the middle just in case anything ever happened. And when they had Jade they couldn't divide her. When it comes time for Jade to tell her story in Dr. Marlowe's therapy session, she dosen't want to speak. But when she dose she spins a story of a terrible battle masked by a privileged life. When Jade's parents got divorced they fought over her not becasuse they loved her, but becasue they wanted to come out on top. Will Jade be able to deal with everything? Or will she fall apart. I really liked this book it's a good edition to the series and so far my favroite. I've already read Misty the first one and I'll be sure to read Cat and Star. This is an interesting series and I reccomend it to fans on suspenceful real life novels. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: You thought the "Orphans" miniseries was bad? You ain't seen nothing yet. "Misty", "Star" and now "Jade" have nothing in common with our beloved VC Andrews stories about dark family secrets waiting to be unveiled while a poor and rejected heroine beats the odds and grows into a beautiful woman. It is merely the tale of 4 girls from broken homes that meet in a psychologist's office to tell their yawn-inducing personal stories. The non-existant plot reads like an article in "Reader's Digest" and even VC Andrews' usual, neverending metaphors seem overbearing and are an unsuccessful attempt to make the story worth reading. If, like me, you are a VC Andrews fan, spare yourself the disappointment and don't waste your money on this one...you're better off digging out the older Andrews novels and reading them again instead.
