I was a fan, but the NEW Virgina andrews did nothing for me, it was the same old story just new names.
My favourite series was the one with Troy in, but she married Logan but had troys baby, god that was a good story, with Kitty who adopted her (what was her name?) and her brothers and sisters allso adopted out to meet up later in life. I am having trouble remembering the series now! it was the 2nd one anyway - better than flowers in the attic series.
I had them all but chucked them after about 5 reads each, they got a bit tatty.
If you read flowers in the attic make sure to get the very last one as that is before flowers in the attic and explains alot. The movie was rubbish though, could have put alot of people off picking up the book.
