The Shadows of Foxworth (Dollanganger, #11)

I don\’t usually read fiction, but V.C. Andrews (or whomever writes this) is my guilty pleasure. Shadows of Foxworth has the usual unknowingly engaged in incest. In addition, here are some of the most memorable and interesting quotes: -\”A lady is very stingy with the the truth. You use it only when it offers and advantage. I\’ll teach you how to disguise your true feelings.\” (p. 154) -\”It was as if he [Yvon] had found a way to make good use of his anger and his skepticism. He was in a world that put value on all that, a world that made those things seem more like strength to admire than behavior and feelings to pity\”. (p. 180) -\”In my experience and observation, I can tell you that most women squander their beauty and waste it on men who are self-centered and will enjoy them as they would some ornament\”. (p. 222) -\”When he looked at me, I felt myself slipping away from any restraint, out of the reach of any warning, and drawn to an IMAGE OF LOVE I had taken from novels and dreams\”. (p.281) -\”In America, you can either make friends or make profit\”. (back cover)

Very good book took me about 5 hours to read … With breaks it\’s interesting how this all unfolds. To be honest I would have preferred to read these long before Flowers in the attic. And now am wondering about Corrines mother and Father why did it have to jump so far back I\’m hoping to hear about them in the near future.

Just \”okay\” in the prequel \”Dollanganger\” set–Nowhere near as good as Beneath the Attic or Out of the Attic books.

I have been waiting for this story my whole life it seems LOL And it did not disappoint. I think I finally have some closure to this whole series that I started reading as a pre-teen (I\’m almost 40 now) But I\’m sure more questions will arise as I sit and think about it. V.C. Andrews and her ghost writers are amazing.

I\’ve been a fan of this author since I read Flowers in the Attic more than ten years ago. Now I realize that the original author isn\’t the same writing these new novels. Sometimes they get to be too predictable. And in this story it did get to that point. But the ending threw me off because it didn\’t end in disaster and it seemed like the remaining characters of the family were going to be able to get on and live a normal life. There is a conversation and everything gets laid out in the open when that truth comes out. They seem to want to work past their old family mistakes. I enjoyed the end. I really hope we can move on from this family now
