Summary: Okay but mainly disappointing
Review: I have to say at the beginning of this new series I was excited and hoped it would be the start of something better by the ghostwriter. However, I was disappointed with Wicked Forest. First off the whole thing with the letter from other characters from differents series was silly and a real stretch. The whole thing with Willow marrying the professor so quickly was a bit out of character (at least in my opinion) and we knew nothing about him!

I would have to say that Bunny and the rest of the "townies" were very colorful and kept the book going.

Overall I was pretty disappointed. I will probably read the next one for the sake of continuing the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved it!
Review: I haven't actually read the wicked forest book, but i loved the first one. VC Andrews is my all time favorite author! Willow is interesting and kinda grows on ya!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: hmmm..
Review: i just finished twisted roots..it was ok..it lacks suspense but the ending did have some form of closure..i still thought thatcher and willow should've gotten back together since thatcher needed someone like her to challenge him but yanno, since he's a player, i guess not..oh why are there prequels like "into the woods" and "hidden leaves"? i mean like who cares, u already know the whole scenario and endings..i thought it was stupid of willow's father, claude, not go after grace after his wife passed away. they should've added a few more pages in twisted roots to see what happens to willow and also who was the one thatcher cheated with. ok, enough with this!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not feeling this one
Review: i love v.c. andrews books and have many of them. this one here though, it was really drawn out and though the story line was interesting, it didnt hold my attention as well as any of the other series i have read. to much extra detail for me and it took to long to get to the point. it also didnt keep the excitement rolling like previous series i have read. i loved willows character though. i agree with some of the other reviews about the letters in the back of the book...corny. hopefully i wont have to give a "three" rating to the next book in the series, this one was kind of disappointing. worth having in your collection if you are a true fan though.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Never saw this one coming!...
Review: I really enjoyed reading Willow and being with her along the way to reuniting with her mother, half brother, and especially meeting Thatcher...BUT...well, I don't want to give it away or anything...but I will just say that I was so mad that I actually threw the book across the room. Believe me, you'll be so mad and feel betrayed yourself...I don't like this book much towards the ending, but will probably continue with the series...take care all!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Willow can't be this stupid
Review: I really enjoyed Willow and was looking forward to this installment. Boy was I dissapointed! I want to know what happened to the Willow from the first book. She is painfully absent from the second installment and that absence really hurst this book. In Wicked Forest, Willow is replaced with a weak and incredibly stupid version of the girl from the first book. She spends the entire book looking at life through rose colored glasses. The Thachter situation really made me angry. Many times I had to put the book down because I was annoyed with the whole thing. Any girl with half a brain could see Thachter's infidelity coming and by making Willow so blind to the situation made a half way decent book barely tolertable. As with other reader I also felt the ending was rushed. There had to have been a better way of handling that, even if it meant having a 3rd book from Willows point of view.

One of my pet peeves about all V.C. Andrews is the fact that no matter how old the main character gets she still refers to her parents as "Mommy" & "Daddy." Come on, I stopped doing that when I was in elementary school. All this does is take away from character's intellegience & in some cases they don't have all that much to spare (i.e. this book)

I agree with everyone regarding those silly letters at the end of the books. Most of the people buying this book has read the ones being plugged in the back of the book, so give it up already.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as Willow
Review: I thought since "Willow" was such a great start to this series that I'd love "Wicked Forest...." Nothing was farther from the truth. Shallow characters such as Thatcher and Manon made the book almost sickening to read. I certainly hope the ghostwriter has cooked up something much more spectacular in the next book...I'm getting tired of the dull storylines! I've also noticed in all of V.C.'s books that the title character has always given birth to a daughter....let's mix it up a bit and have them birth a male child, shall we?

Summary: Getting Better But Still not the True V.C, Andrews
Review: If you are a true V.C. Andrews fan then you will like this new series. This is one of the better series. I hope that the rest of the books to the series will be as good as the first two.
I found myself reading the book every moment I had free. I could not put it down. Soon I started entering the characters lives and feeling the emotions that they were going through. I started having troubles different between the book and real life situations. It is a must read for all V.C. Andrews fans!

I can do with out the letters in the back of the book. Those series and they have nothing on this series.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: zzzzz....
Review: Ok, the second book in a VC Andrews series are ususally pretty good (in Dark Angel's case-one of her top 3 best) It's usually the 3rd or 4th book where things go down hill think-If There Be Thorns, Gates Of Paradise and the all-time worst in my opinion Twilight's Child) Anyway, in this case, the writer seems determined to ruin the saga in only the 2nd book. After the promising Willow I expected much better from this one. It's mostly boring with a crazy (but recycled) twist at the end in which a charachter goes insane and holds Willow captive) the humorous bits w/ that Palm Beach ladies club were it's only saving grace and Willow's new relationship seemed awfully rushed
