My favorite V.A. series. I think the Willow books are clever. Written with a psychological perspective.

It took me years, and I mean that literally to finish this book. V.C. Andrews is one of my absolute favorite authors. So the very fact that it took this long to finish this book was amazing. Usually I tear through her books like they were water. But alas, there were mitigating circumstances at work and I kept losing my place in this wonderful read.

Despite the fact that ghost writers have been writing V.C. Andrews' books for years (one would hope since she IS deceased) I haven't seen More...

This book is about a girl who grew up being told she was adopted and later finds out that her adopted father is her real father and that her real mom is alive and living in Palm Beach. After her father's death, she heads there to learn more about her mom. This book kept me intrigued the entire time!

I usually like the main characters in V.C.Andrews books but they seem to get lamer and lamer...willow really pissed me off in this book. Not worth it...read the earlier ones that were actually writen by andrews.

This is a good beginning to a decent series. Andrews has a good plot in this one, since the later series seem to rely on previous plots....But a good read and good series.

This book was ok, didn't hold my attention like some of Andrews other books but it wasn't terrible, I think my only complaint is that the chapters were a little long.

I read the first book in the Debeers Series, "Willow" and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately my Library here did not have the rest of the series. BUT I did find the whole series on ebay for a great price and bought them. SOOO excited to start this series!

I'm too old for this junk now... Super unbelievable. I felt like I was watching a Soap Opera. Though I will say it did make me giddy to read a lot of Florida locations, since I was born and raised there.

Similar story themes to previous Andrew's stories with a pshycological view. It was alright, an easy fast read. I hated Thatcher's character immediately and considering how Willow was disdainful towards Palm Beach people, and everything that had happened to her Mother, I was surprised that she would fall for his pathetic charms. I could see right throught him and could have written the plotline that continues on the second book of this series. Oh and surprise, surprise - the brother fancies his More...

Overall though a good read.

Typical V C Andrews style book with less oomph than normal. Easy read.

This is the first book in the Willow series. Good read, but not my favorite series by this author. Her first couple of series were the best. A ghost writer has been writing under her name since her death. They have kept the same topics that she wrote about(abuse,incest, etc.). I will probably keep reading these books, but I think it is time to let V. C. Andrews rest in peace.

Have become adicted to the easy read of V.C Andrews. Girl is child of psychiatrist and patient. Raised by docroe and his wife. Wife is mean to Willow. After parents die Willow finds her mother in Florida.

I'm not quite done with this one, but close enough. I just kinda muddled through it. I'm not sure I want to read the rest of them. I've got so many other books to read, I'd rather not waste my time.

Not one of V.C. Andrews' best. Slow with very little romance and no twists. Didn't finish it.
