Idgie Says:While this "author" continues to churn out books on a regular basis filled with all sorts of naughty family drama and semi-paranormal events, I still see the difference between the books the actual V.C. Andrews wrote and these newer ones where her name is merely a copyright.
I'm not saying these books are bad, but as someone that grew up with Flowers in the Attic there is a noticeable difference. So my opinion of these books might be a bit skewed. To me they are "okay", but they don't grip the imagination as much.
This novel has plenty of intrigue in it, taking up where My Sweet Audrina left off - same house, same characters. The dead keep talking, mysterious events occur and a husband slowly becomes something to be feared.

One of the most popular storytellers of all time, V.C. Andrews®
layers psychological suspense with sheer terror in this continuation of Audrina’s unthinkable family saga.
From the
New York Times bestselling author of Flowers in the Attic,
WHITEFERN by V.C. Andrews® is the long awaited sequel for more of Audrina’s story since
My Sweet Audrina—“beautifully written, macabre, and thoroughly nasty” (Daily Express)—aired
on Lifetime!
Whitefern swallowed Audrina’s childhood—and now the
sprawling Victorian mansion threatens her adult life, too…Audrina
remembers
a better time, when her husband, Arden, was a young man with a heart
filled with devotion for her. He didn’t used to be this ambitious, this
expansive…this
cruel. But then, the death of Audrina’s father changed a great
many things. When the reading of her father’s will reveals that Audrina
herself will control fifty-one percent of the family brokerage, the
halls of Whitefern again don’t feel safe. Arden’s
protestations become frantic, nearly violent. So while Audrina didn’t
anticipate running the family business, she’s curious to do so. And she
can’t help but wonder what had made her father change his will at the
last minute. What did he know about Arden that
she didn’t? Trapped in the middle of it all: her fragile, simple
sister—the beautiful, trusting Sylvia. Audrina promised her father she’d
watch over the young woman. But after years of relative quiet, the dark
days of Whitefern may have returned…
