    About this ebook

    Settling into her new school, developing a crush on fellow pupil Philip Cutler and cherishing a secret hope to become a famous singer one day, Dawn Longchamp feels happy and safe. But nothing is what it seems...

    When Dawn's mother suddenly dies, her world begins to crumble. After a terrible new shock, Dawn is thrust into a different family and an evil web of unspoken sins. Her sweet innocence lost, humiliated and scorned, Dawn is desperate to find her older brother Jimmy again - and to strip away the wicked lies that have changed both their lives forever

      Good reading can’t wait to read the rest of the series
    • 2/5
      this book is one of the best I ever read
    • 3/5
      Another Andrews book I don't remember, but I think it was good.
    • 3/5
      I don't know why I ever try to read serious books. It should be all V.C. Andrews, all the time. It's like watching an episode of Maury Povich or Jerry Springer, only better because you're reading it and improving your mind at the same time! Dawn is exactly like Heaven (from V.C. Andrews' Casteel series) except she's blonde instead of brunette and lives in Richmond, Virginia instead of the West Virginia mountains. Everything else the same -- dirt-poor upbringing, secret wealthy parents, mean girls at school, unnatural love for brother and a hateful, slutty sister. On the very first page, we learn that the 14-year-old Dawn and her 16-year-old brother Jimmy, share a bed. In the second chapter, there is some inappropriate nudity and longing glances. But, like all V.C. Andrews books, nothing is quite what it first appears to be... I don't care if this series is the trashiest series on earth, it's still pretty dang entertaining to read!
    • 3/5
      I devoured a lot of V.C. Andrews books when I was in 7th and 8th grade. Looking back, I'm not entirely sure what I saw in them. Nevertheless, they do have an addicting quality of sorts.Dawn is no different from the other early Andrews books; incest, a callous grandmother, adoptive parents and a secret past all feature prominently. There is nothing really that sets this book apart. For those looking for more V.C. Andrews books after Flowers, I recommend trying the Melody series. They are a bit less predictable and more endearing than Dawn.
    • 1/5
      Sigh, can't recommend this book, when I read I should have known better. Read only of you haven't read anything from VC Andrews, and even then I'd advise you read Flowers in the Attic instead.
