There was a war going on in our house, a silent war that sounded no guns, and the bodies that fell were only wishes that died and the bullets were only words and the blood that was spilled was always called pride. - My Sweet Audrina By V.C. Andrews

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.
