Everyone says her mother was crazy. Is she doomed to repeat the past?

Up in the attic, that's where Alice's mother used to escape to...and it's where, so Alice has been told, she plotted the murder of her own stepfather. Now, years later, with her mother locked away for life, the attic is where Alice finds comfort in her aloneness, writing poetry and painting pictures. When Alice finally finds the courage to come out of her shell, exchanging her dowdy looks for flattering clothes and makeup, her life completely opens up—she even attends the prom with a cute, popular boy. But it's a night that turns quickly tragic—sending her newfound happiness crashing down around her, and hurtling Alice into a shattering new life, one that leads her to a shocking reunion with the shadows she had fled.

From the imagination behind Flowers in the Attic comes a sensational new novel that spins a seductive web between fantasies and lies—and uncovers the price for keeping secrets in the shadows.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER VCA WINNER!
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2008

Once again, I am honored to be the first to review SECRETS IN THE SHADOWS by the legendary V. C. ANDREWS. Here we pick up with Alice, daughter of Karen and niece of Zipporah. Alice has dwelled in a shell and kept herself mentally locked up in her mother's attic for far too long. Everyone is deeply concerned for her. When she finally comes out of her shell, the dear girl has trial after trial to get through.

The most touching part of this book was Alice's reunion with her mother Karen at the institution. You just know things are going to work out. Sadly, VCA series are only 2 or 3 books long now, so much of the history is not written about and you pretty much have to write your own future for your favorite characters. But that's fun too!

I remain in awe of the talent of MR. ANDREW NEIDERMAN. Time after time he captures the magic of the original Ms. Andrews and provides us with thrilling stories. Imagine what a waste it would have been if after VCA's death, no one had picked up the pen in her name!

I look forward to Delia's crossing and to many, many more VCA books to come in coming years! After the trials are done and the tears are shed, they always uplift me! BRAVO, Mr. Neiderman, BRAVO!

I purchased this book as a means of building by VC Andrews library back up. (I grew up reading her books, though all of the most recent ones are being ghostwritten.) This copy I received was in great condition.

I bought both books in this series but it is not V.C. Andrews. It is time for this ghost writer to stop. It looks like the books she had started before she died have ended & he is writing his own stories & it isn't V.C. Andrews. This is not what she wrote. Stop using her name.
