Heyyy,

I was looking through your blog and found out about VC Andrews. Her work seems pretty interesting.

Can you recommend some of her books to me? Or is all of her work worth checking out, lol?

Also, some of her work had ghost writers?

I'm not the best person to ask cause really I've only read like two of the books made by the actual writer and the the other few by the ghost writer. Also to explain the ghost writer thing.

Vc Andrews the real lady wrote the flowers in the attic series/the dollanganger series and the first two books in the series The Casteel family saga( Heaven and Dark Angel) and the stand alone book(or at least it was suppose to be) My Sweet Audrina. While she was writing her last books she got Cancer and soon died from it at 63. Because some of her books were left unfinished her agent and the publishing company wanted to finish her work. They also wanted to get more money from the dead person by using her name and redoing the same themes in other books over again. So that's what we literally mean by a ghost writer. People reused her name, pretend to be her, and just kept selling books with the same taboo themes in them. The ghost writer is not as good as the orginal. You can tell the difference. But his early work isn't too bad. It's his later stuff that has issues. I haven't read everything so again I'm not an expert.

What I have read:

Flowers in the Attic(by the orginal writer) part of the dollanganger series

Dark Angel(by the orginal writer) part of the casteel family saga.

Beneath the attic(by the ghost writer) part of the dollanganger series

Out of the Attic(by the ghost writer) part of the dollanganger series

I'm in the process of reading more of the The Casteel family series and the second book in the flowers in the attic series. Fair warning about the books, the usually have incest in them, and child abuse so be aware if that triggers you. Why I like the books and plan to read at least some the best of the sagas. The main characters are female characters that are girly girls. They have dark fairy tale themes, dark romance, and gothic horror. And I just like the combination.

From what people has told me these are the best sagas to read from all the books:

The dollanganger saga: Main character is Cathy Dollanganger.

The Casteel Family saga: Main female Character is Heaven Casteel. This takes place mainly in Boston and Virginia

My Sweet Audrina: Main female character is Audrina Adelle Adare

The Landry family Saga: Main female character is Ruby Landry and this story takes place in the Bayous of Louisiana.

The Cutler family saga: Main character is Dawn Cutler.

All pain seemed to come with lots of blood, and lots of mental anguish, too. I already knew about that. Maybe that was the worst kind of pain, because nobody knew about it but you.

Picture the scene:

Logan is at the coffee shop flirting with a random girl. He's in his preppy college boy clothes his mommy picked out for him. He than notices outside this nice car parking out front. A car only someone super old money rich can own. Than this guy (grown man really) comes out the car. With dark copper bohemian artist long hair. Dark sunglasses and nice leather jacket. He quickly goes to the other side, and opens the passenger door. All gentlemen like and helps out the most beautiful young woman Logan has ever scene. Logan doesn't realize it's Heaven for several minutes( like he did before). When the womam thanks the bohemian and heads to the restaurant. The guy doesn't leave, but leans on the car door to watch her leave. Protective.

Logan watches the woman (all dressed up like old money too) head up to the coffee shop he feels he's been slapped in the face. That is not a woman. That is Heaven Casteel. Heaven Casteel who he hasn't seen in months. Heaven Casteel looking beautiful, healthy, and with a complete makeover. Heaven Casteel who just came out of a rich grown man's car( who's still watching her enter the coffee shop and to table protectively).

Logan never has felt like a jealous little boy more so than in this moment, Ever! Especially when him and Troy meet eyes for just a moment when stormed out of the coffee shop after his argument with Heaven. The disdain Troy has for Logan is in just one look. One look. Troy than pushes back his sunglasses back up, disregards Logan as if he is worth nothing. Goes and comforts Heaven.

Funny thing I did while I read Dark Angel by vc andrews. Whenever Troy wasn't in his artist peasant look, I'd always pictured him in a leather jacket and sun glasses. Especially when he drove Heaven to the coffee shop. Think Johnny from dirty dancing.

I wanted to picture in my head a contrasting look to how I picture Logan (preppy boy in college). I just wanted to make the differences between them. Logan was jealous boy. While actually Troy was a man. Like just imagine Troy wearing this with his long dark artist hair. No wonder all the girls wanted to bag Troy(besides for his money of course)

Lmao love it

I hate logan so much so i love the image of him being an immature jealous boy while troy is an actual grown ass man lol
