About this audiobook

A young woman struggles with her past and a future thrust upon her with threats coming from the past and now the present. Does she have the strength to withstand and grow? From #1 New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews (Flowers in the Attic, My Sweet Audrina).

In her grandmother’s fine, labyrinthine Boston house, Heaven Leigh Casteel dreams of a wonderful new life of new friends, the best schools, beautiful clothes, and most important, love. She is determined to make the Casteel name respectable, find her long-lost brothers and sisters, and have a family again.

But even in the world of the wealthy, there are strange forebodings, secrets best forgotten. And as Heaven reaches out for love, she is slowly ensnared in a sinister web of cruel deceits and hidden passions.

    In the second book of the Casteel Saga, Heaven is reunited with her maternal grandparents and goes to live at Farthinggale Manor, Tony Tatterton's ancestral home. There she learns how the very rich live and is sent to a posh girl's school, where she has considerable trouble fitting in and misses her family. Drawn to Tony's brother, Troy, Heaven begins a secret love affair with him to fill the void left by being uprooted from her brother, Tom, and boyfriend, Logan. After Troy helps her get in touch with her past, she learns the truth of her paternity then suffers several losses, which help lead her back home where her future lies. I found this book fairly well written and full of the drama expected from V. C. Andrews.

    "Dark Angel" has Heaven going off in search of her mother's Bostonian relatives and finding out they're fabulously rich (there is always a pattern like this in Andrews' books, God love her) but very twisted. Turns out her step-grandfather was the one who got her 13 year old mother pregnant, and that's why Leigh ran away from her wealthy Boston home and ended up with Luke Casteel. Awesome. Of course she found out after she had fallen in love and decided to marry Tony's younger brother Troy, who is her uncle. Whoops. He's kind of annoying, all doom and gloom and "oh my God I just know I'm going to die before I'm thirty" blah, blah, blah. Dude! You're fantastically wealthy, a talented artist who gets to spend his whole day doing whatever he wants, and gorgeous. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO BE DEPRESSED ABOUT?? Seriously? Anyway, Heaven graduates from college and returns to Winnerrow, the little town in the valley of the Willies, to teach school there to the poor hill children like she always planned.

    This book is a continuation of the Casteel family & I feel it is the last 5 star worthy one. We start with Heaven moving into her grandmother and step-grandfathers home on a temporary basis, this becomes permanent and Heaven is finally happy...but soon enough she finds out a chilling secret that changes everything she thought she knew.

    Pretty darn trashy. I read it when I was very young though, so I loved it. Troy and Heaven were awesome, even with the weird incest twist and dramatics. Still, it made my pre-teen heart flutter.

    I was a weird child, but it wasn't that unusual -- there were a lot of us under-aged V.C. Andrews readers back in the day.

    Another amazing book by my favorite author. This was the first book I ever read by V.C. Andrews and it's amazing. The story line is great and the characters are definitely interesting. These books aren't my usual genre but they're still absolutely amazing. I noticed a constant theme though, which is that a lot of her books somehow have an incestuous twist and always have something to do with a mansion. I think my least favorite character in this book was Jillian. I didn't like her very much at all.

    I don't remember this story very much, but I suppose it was good if I read the rest of the series.

    The last of the V. C. Andrews books actually written by her and not the current ghost writer. This series was not my favorite of Andrews but this was probably my favorite of the series. Don't bother reading after this book though; you can immediately tell its not the original author anymore.
