When Melody Logan's mother died in a car accident, Melody lost the last shred of family she had ever known. She was practically a stranger to the Logans, her wealthy relatives on Cape Cod, where she now drifted on a sea of dark secrets. In the eyes of gentle Aunt Sara, Me...more

Kissing cousins. So old! I've heard this theme before. Ruby and Flowers in the Attic had a similar theme. However, those were much better than this series. The Flowers series seemed fresh, and the Ruby series was incredible. However, I could not see the characters in the Logan series. This was too generic, I couldn't understand how someone could fall in love with their own sister. Then, years later, after her death, fall in love with another blood relative. There are hundreds of kids at school o...more
To me, Heart Song was a weak point in the Logan family series. There's nothing really deep or dark here, and the story pretty much plods on. There's some entertaining parts, and of course there is Melody versus Olivia, that is always fun to read about as Melody strives to discover her paternity and the revelations that follow her in her quest to discover this secret - and the surprise twist answer she gets. Overall a fairly entertaining if slow read. It picks up in the next book.
So far, this book is as good as "Melody." I can't even remember where one finished and this one began.

VC Andrews has always been a favorite of mine since my childhood days. I have read (and re-read) all of her books, and although I am much older now and find that some of her work is better than others, I still enjoy the twists and turns, strangeness and mystery that continues to captivate my interest. (even some of the ghostwriter's work)

This is probably on my list of top five favorite books of all time, and is definitely my favorite V.C. Andrews book. The elements of the story (family drama, relationship issues, a job with the local artist...everything!) fits so well together.
I read the earlier V.C. Andrews books when I was growing up. I think they helped to prepare me for what I could find behind closed doors while completing assessments as a social worker...:)

Not as good as the older series, but then again maybe I was just getting older and discovering real good books.
I believe this one was better than the first. Although its not the best VC Andrews series its still pretty good.
T_Y havent read the unfinished symphony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
who have it?????????????
who have it?????????????
Ehhh not one of the best but its still okay. Kinda bittersweet
V.C. Andrew books has always been one of my little guilty pleasures!
:xx
I enjoyed it. I pretty much guessed what would happen, but it was a fun quick read. I love the Cary character.
It was a good, and predictable book, much like its predecessors. I can't say whether or not it improved, but it certainly left the "girlish" feel behind and began delving into the more 'fucked-up' way of life that VC Andrews crafts for us in many of her books. I found it fairly entertaining, but not challenging and, for the most part, predictable as all her books are. You're unable to help but become attached to characters, and learn to love and hate them all.
Yes I know this is ya lit. Nevertheless I can't help but be frustrated by some of the choices the main character makes, I feel like shaking her. I am reading this series as a quick easy read and a break from reality but this book was tough to get through.
Maybe the books were not what they used to be or maybe I finally grew up but I stopped reading Ms. Andrews' (although by this series she had been dead for a bit)books after this series.
This was the first sexy book I read. I didn't know it was sexy when I picked it. I learned it was sexy on page 11. I was... 8?

This book was even better than the first so many plots and schemes to keep you guessing.

“Love is fragile at best and often a burden or something that blinds us. It's fodder for poets and song writers and they build it into something beyond human capacity. Falling in love means enrolling yourself in the school of disappointment. Being human means failing each other often, and no two people fail each other more than two people who pledge to do things for each other that they'll never do because they are just incapable of it...That's why art is enduring. The look of love or hope, or the look of compassion, bravery, whatever, is captured forever. We spend our lives trying to get someone to be as enduring as a painting or a sculpture and we can't because feelings crumble as quickly as the flesh.”
