Virginia Cleo Andrews (born Cleo Virginia Andrews) was born June 6, 1923 in Portsmouth, Virginia. The youngest child and the only daughter of William Henry Andrews, a career navy man who opened a tool-and-die business after retirement, and Lillian Lilnora Parker Andrews, a telephone operator. She spent her happy childhood years in Portsmouth, Virginia, living briefly in Rochester, New York. The Andrews family returned to Portsmouth while Virginia was in high school.
While a teenager, Virginia suffered a tragic accident, falling down the stairs at her school and incurred severe back injuries. Arthritis and a failed spinal surgical procedure forced her to spend most of her life on crutches or in a wheelchair.
Virginia excelled in school and, at fifteen, won a scholarship for writing a parody of Tennyson's Idylls of the King. She proudly earned her diploma from Woodrow Wilson High School in Portsmouth. After graduation, she nurtured her artistic talent by completing a four-year correspondence art course while living at home with her family.
After William Andrews died in the late 1960s, Virginia helped to support herself and her mother through her extremely successful career as a commercial artist, portrait painter, and fashion illustrator.
Frustrated with the lack of creative satisfaction that her work provided, Virginia sought creative release through writing, which she did in secret. In 1972, she completed her first novel, The Gods of the Green Mountain [sic], a science-fantasy story. It was never published. Between 1972 and 1979, she wrote nine novels and twenty short stories, of which only one was published. "I Slept with My Uncle on My Wedding Night", a short fiction piece, was published in a pulp confession magazine.
Promise gleamed over the horizon for Virginia when she submitted a 290,000-word novel, The Obsessed, to a publishing company. She was told that the story had potential, but needed to be trimmed and spiced up a bit. She drafted a new outline in a single night and added "unspeakable things my mother didn't want me to write about." The ninety-eight-page revision was re-titled Flowers in the Attic and she was paid a $7,500 advance. Her new-generation Gothic novel reached the bestseller lists a mere two weeks after its 1979 paperback publication by Pocket Books.
Petals on the Wind, her sequel to Flowers, was published the next year, earning Virginia a $35,000 advance. The second book remained on the New York Times bestseller list for an unbelievable nineteen weeks (Flowers also returned to the list). These first two novels alone sold over seven million copies in only two years. The third novel of the Dollanganger series, If There Be Thorns, was released in 1981, bringing Virginia a $75,000 advance. It reached No. 2 on many bestseller lists within its first two weeks.
Taking a break from the chronicles of Chris and Cathy Dollanganger, Virginia published her one, and only, stand-alone novel, My Sweet Audrina, in 1982. The book welcomed an immediate success, topping the sales figures of her previous novels. Two years later, a fourth Dollanganger novel was released, Seeds of Yesterday. According to the New York Times, Seeds was the best-selling fiction paperback novel of 1984. Also in 1984, V.C. Andrews was named "Professional Woman of the Year" by the city of Norfolk, Virginia.
Upon Andrews's death in 1986, two final novels—Garden of Shadows and Fallen Hearts—were published. These two novels are considered the last to bear the "V.C. Andrews" name and to be almost completely written by

This series in general, but this book specifically, is garbage.
The ghost writer needs a dictionary.
Rape- Any act of sexual intercourse that is FORCED upon a person
Fauna- The animals of a particular region, habitat, or geological period.
Pg 328- (Willow to Thatcher) Our love making wasn't as soft & sensitive as it been during our honey moon & thereafter. It was more lusty & demanding. "You act like you just got out of solitary confinement or something," I told him, "If we weren't married it'd be more like rape."
The audacity of calling it lovemaking and then comparing it to rape, jokingly at that! I am stunned! Rough sex does not equal rape, and rape CAN occur within a marriage.
Pg 199, "Everywhere I looked, flowers bloomed radiantly & uniformed gardeners pruned & nurtured the fauna." Brings to mind images of little bunnies having their ears lopped off.
The story is not compelling and the main character is unlikable. Willow is judgmental, whiny, & incredibly stupid. It is hard to find anything remotely enjoyable about this book.

Ah how can you go wrong with V.C. Andrews even with the ghostwriter
The writing is lovely with a hint of sadness. You just completely let yourself immersed in the story as you follow Willow through her journey. Marriage with Thatcher and Linde's craziness working in the background. Its eerie and exciting at the same time. Ah damn I never can imagine how Thatcher did what he did

Willow made the hasty choice of falling for Thatcher Eaton and then to become pregnant by this man just added to bad judgement. Of course the Eatons turned out to be just as nasty in there claims that the baby was Willows and her half-brother Linden. Alot of lies and deception in this novel. In the end all seems to be promising as Willow becomes involved with her professor Miguel. Good choice or bad? To be continued to the next part of this series.

This book was a lot more interesting than the first. I felt the first in the series, "Willow" dragged a bit and only got interesting at the end. Well, Wicked Forest picked right up where Willow left off.
In this book, Willow returns to the estate in Palm Beach to live w/ her mother and half brother Linden. She is evicting the Eatons from the mansion, as their lease is up and since Willow inherited all of her father's money, she sold his house and moved to Palm Beach to help her bio mom and brother, which means moving them into the main house.
Along the way, she gets reinvolved with Thatcher Eaton. They have a secret relationship until he feels his parents will accept her into the family. Her half brother Linden, is very jealous of their relationship and the foreshadowing of problems with this character are evident. He is obsessed with his sister, as though he would want her for a girlfriend instead of a sibling.
AS the story moves forward, Willow agrees to marry Thatcher and they have a grand wedding and move into the main house w/ her mother and Linden. She has some high society friends who promise to help her out by keeping an eye on her husband. In the end, Willow finds out she is pregnant, which she isn't too thrilled about. She is enrolled in college courses and befriends a very nice professor, who is both young, likeable and is very nice to Willow. his name is Miguel Fuentes.
One day Willow's high soceiety friends meet w her to let her know that Thatcher is cheating on her w/ an old flame. He even had the audacity to see her while they were honeymooning. Pregnant and upset, Willow takes the evidence the girls have produced ala private detective and lays it all out for Thatcher. He vows to change but she isn't having any of it. So full of rage, Thatcher immediately moves out of the house and their relationship pretty much ends right there.
Pregnant and alone, Willow's mother promises to help her with the baby. Then she falls ill unexpectedly, and ends up in the hospital after a stroke and ends up in a coma. She dies, which devastates Linden, who becomes more erratic than before, painting the windows in his studio black and making a special painting for his mother.
Professor Fuentes is there for Willow through the hard times. In the end, LInden becomes extremely possessive of Willow, claiming that the baby she is carrying is "theirs." He drugs her and locks her in her room. She attempts to get away more than once, but he always gets there before she does. When Miguel Fuentes finally comes to the rescue at the end, Willow is rescued and Linden is taken to a mental facility for treatment. Willow and Miguel wed in the end and she has a baby girl, which she names Hannah. She and Thatcher divorce, naturally.

I mean, it’s definitely not as awesomely bad as most of the series that falls under the Andrews name. It’s really sort of just…there?
I would say worth a read but don’t buy it. If you have access to a copy through your library, read it that way!
And what’s with the letters at the end??
Is something going to come of those letters or is that a way to promote the other series?

This was so long, maybe it got better later on but I was over 150 pages in and had no desire to continue the story.

I realised very quickly into this book that it was the second one in a series. I'm sure I have the first one and must have put my reading pile in the wrong order but I had a quick look and could not find it so I thought I would crack on with this one.
I have read a lot of Andrews' books lately and they all get very samey! Willow clearly went through the horrible step mother part in the first book and her mother in this one is lovely. It is the same old VG story with the brother being in love with the main character and although he holds Willow hostage at the end, she does manage to not get raped so at least that is something!
Willow marries a man who will definitely cheat on her but she is still surprised when he does. It was all a bit too neat for me with her having a happy ending with the Dr. She clearly liked him even when she was married.
Not the greatest Andrews book but I do look forward to reading the first one if I do have it.

Last time I read this, I was a teenager and my Nan had been taking Andrews books out of the library for me. It's also been a while since I re-read the first book in the series, so it tool me a minute to figure out what was going on.
At first I thought Andrews(when I say Andrews, I mean the ghost writer), was making an effort to not have the main character be so stupid and naive. It was mentioned that Willow was on the pill and I thought finally a sensible main character but then they have a wild weekend away and she forgets to take them, hence unexpected pregnancy.
I really wasn't keen that Willow describes the fact that she had consensual sex with Thatcher as rape, when she suspects that he may be seeing another woman. This is really belittling towards rape victims and inappropriate. I would have thought Willow would have been smarter than to use that term.
Overall this is very typical Andrews book, hints of incest, rape of a young girl, unexpected pregnancy etc. If you are a fan of her formula, you will like this. And I did like this but I don't read them with my teenage eyes anymore and I am never as sympathetic towards the main characters as I used to be.

For a psychology student who is pretty good at reading people, Willow certainly dismissed ALL the warning signs that her half-brother Linden was psychotic, obsessed with her, and was going to hurt somebody. She also didn't realize that Thatcher was cheating on her (leaving for a "business meeting" on their honeymoon is a tactic even I, a singleton, recognize) or that they were never really in love to begin with. Most of the book is spent waiting for the other shoe to drop because things seem to be going so well. Her professor certainly pounced on her fast, pre-divorce and pregnant. I also thought the dead Daddy she kept speaking to in her mind for advice was a hypocrite who she put on a pedestal: so perfect, yet he still cheated on his wife by sleeping with Willow's mother, who was one of his own patients (!). I did like this part: "'...I would not be happy with myself if I couldn't offer compassion to everyone who needed it, but there are people who are simply spoiled rotten and just need a bit of discipline more than they need extra tender loving care. Their loved ones don't do them any good catering to their whims and moods. They just prolong the misery for everyone. I wouldn't send your mother to a spa. I'd make her work for a week in the supermarket packing groceries'" (30). Amen to that.

3.5/5
I do have to say, despite my liking that this series seems very different to VCA other books, its however very lackluster. The only part that was interesting was the final 30 or so pages, but other than that, it was so boring. It felt like everything was drawn out because nothing had happened.
Willow is a dumb bitch thou, as well as her mom. Linden needed professional help for his mental health, and they were like the power of love can heal him. No bitch, you a motherfucking psychology student, therapy will help more esp for you!
Thatcher literally is a trash hoe. Like why? He wasn't even charming and I never loved him, so his betrayal wasn't hurtful, just dumb to me because it's no heartbreaker when Logan cheats on Heaven with Fanny but rather was Beau... and we all know how I feel about Beau (Bleh). I liked the professor; however, he wasn't someone we truly knew and felt very out of place as a love interest, like not developed enough. Very sad.

After discovering her true identity, Willow De Beers leaves her North Carolina town to live with her real mother and her half-brother in Palm Beach, Florida. Caught up in a world of glamour and extravagant wealth - where nosy neighbours, fuelled by gossip and greed, keep an eye on her eccentric family - Willow is determined to make a fresh start.
Willow discovers that her mother and half-brother are not really like she imagined, but she loves them and wants to take care of them. Her life becomes complicated with her upcoming nuptials and family life, and the sharks are ever-circling.
Still enjoy Thatcher as a love interest and the story is one of the more engaging Niederman has written under Andrews’ name. Not as strong as it’s predecessor, however.

When I read these novels back in the day I would have given them 3-3.5 STARS and now would say about one Star
I started reading VC Andrews books in the 1991 and stopped about 2003.
I have read:
-Dollanganger Series
-Casteel Series
-Cutler Series
-Landry Series
-Logan Series
-Orphans Series
-Wildflowers Series
-Hudson Series
-Shooting Stars Series
-DeBeers Series
-Broken Wings Series
As a preteen reading these novels was a rebellion and the gothic theme also seemed cool. I stopped reading this author because the novelty wore off, the novels are too formulaic that I could not tell one book from another and gothic aspect was lost.

This book continues the story of Willow. She has officially moved into the Palm Beach house with her mother (who unfortunately passes away), and her mentally disturbed brother. Thatcher, no surprise, has cheated on her and doesn't give her any problems getting a divorce. But Willow is pregnant and by the end of the book we know she has a girl and gets married to her psychology professor, Miguel. The book kept me intrigued, but the biggest annoyance I had was Willow calling her mother "Mother." What's wrong with mom??

This is one of the weaker V.C. Andrews in respect to how alike it is to vintage Andrews. Nothing especially tragic happens...sure, there's awkward sexual tension between the main character and her half-brother but other than that this is about as un-Andrewsish as you can get. The plot is slow and predictable with such a late, sudden climax that if might as well not of even had one. Not the best...but still readable.
February 16, 2012
I think this story is interesting but it takes a while to get to the point. I have almost finished the book and so far, I am left feeling like something is missing in this story.
O.K. I have finished reading this book and it got too freaky for me at the end. The story is about a woman united with her real mother and is caught up in a world of glamour and extravagant wealth. Her half-brother lives with them but lives in a world of his own.

I was fairly disappointed in this one seeing as Willow was unique for VC Andrews. Wicked Forest started off as just a follow-up for what happened and really acted more as a setting of the stage. The last 1/4 of the book followed typical VC Andrews fashion. This book really stereotyped Willow as good and everyone else as bad which got annoying. However, the ending took a much darker turn than I expected and ended satisfyingly.

June 21, 2014i thought it was definitely better than the first Willow novel. i am just not too sure if I want to read beyond this one... I feel like it's a bit predictable. but its an interesting story that's for sure.
April 22, 2008
I liked this book a lot.
November 12, 2008
And so the Willow story continues!:-)

This was the second book in the Willow series. It was a good read, but not my favorite series by this author.
May 7, 2011
Good book that follows well in the series.
Read
July 27, 2011Blah, either my taste in reading has changed or theres only a few VC Andrews books that are actually good. this one must have been an unfinished manuscript that was finished after she died.
August 14, 2011
Mediocre at best
December 17, 2011
A really good book, the author is stepping up the pace, now the style is getting to be more like the original Virginia Andrews novels. Hints of intrigue, infidelity, incest etc.
September 2, 2012
This book was pretty predictable.
April 17, 2012
V.C. Andrew books has always been one of my little guilty pleasures!
December 29, 2012
Very formulaic, have the third in the series to read - will need to leave it a while!
August 21, 2014
Another great page turner. I really don't like Thatcher Eaton or his stuck up family.
Willow is a great character who grows and keeps you intrigued throughout.

I hated it. This has to be one of the most boring, ridiculous books I have ever read! I wasted a few days on this I will not get back!
December 17, 2014
I own a good majority of her books, this is another I have added to my collection (good series to read)
