The lies that started before Ruby Dumas was born seemed to have one impact after another on Ruby, her life, and people around her.
With her baby Pearl, Ruby was driven back to the bayou, and to her original roots. She was contended living in the old shack she used to share with her Grandmere. However, her old flame Paul was stubborn and he had built an empire for her and her baby. If you know the secret, you would know why Ruby was so resistant, but of course, providing security for her daughter...more

What more can happen to Ruby Dumas! This book wasn't as good from the beginning as the other 2 books were, but as time went on and momentum picked up it became just as good of a book. At first it is hard to sympathize with Ruby as easily as it was in the previous 2 books as it seems that everything going bad for her she brought onto herself. As the book continues you do become empathetic for her. As with the previous 2 books it ends on a happier note. There are events that take place that I was...more
Pearl in the Mist wasn't the best book in the Landry saga, but it is made up for in this book. The twin angle is really played here - for some rather unexpected results. And unlike Secrets of the Morning/Twilight's Child in the previous series, the babydaddy in this one is actually a nice guy - so I'm not sure which guy to root for here.
Of course, Daphne is up to her usual tricks - and if that's not enough, you have Gladys Tate. With them and Giselle, Ruby sure does have a lot on her plate. Plen...more

This book ended a lot better than I thought it would. For once, a VC Andrews book had an ending that was completely happy. I admit, some of the characters didn't turn out exactly as I thought they would, and mid-book I was more irate with the characters because things weren't going the way I wanted them to, but it ended very well. On to the next book in the series.

I read all of the VC Andrews books when I was in middle and high school. They were my first introduction to the twisted and dark fiction that I still love. I'd like to re-read the books or at least one of the series to see what was so compelling about them.
I did not enjoy this book as I did the first two, Ruby and Pearl in the Mist. I feel that Ruby, the main character, became so weak and annoying. Honestly, her stupidity made the book difficult to read. However, the ending redeemed the series for me, and I am eager to start the next book.
Overall this was another good book by VC Andrews, and very typical of the books she writes. I have been enjoying this series very much. This book was probably the least believable of the series and the end really got rushed too much. I think it needed at least another 50 pages for the ending to play out in better detail.

The landry series is a wonderful drama series by vc andrews. she knows how to twist a tail of deception lies lust love drama sadness fear and many other emotions. you will know the main character as if she was you... quite enjoyable!
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)

I loved the Landry series and this novel is a perfect addition to the series. I love how it goes into details about the twins and their relationships in and out of the family. V.C. Andrews at her best!
LIKED HOW DAPHENE HAD DIED, DID NOT LIKE HOW GISSEL DIED, WANTED HER TO EVENTUALLY BE THE KIND OF SISER RUBY WOULD HAVE WANTED. I WISH THAT PAUL WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND SOME ONE TO TRUELY LOVE.
1.5 stars, It really pissed me off. I spent the first two books kind of liking the main character, who always tried to do what was right or at least would not hurt people. But towards the end of this book she makes a very stupid desion that didn't not fit with her character and in general it was a very stupid idea, that could not work. It wasn't even a intresting stupid that I want to watch and see what happens. Instead I spent the last part of the book skimming.

Typical drama in this series. Will anyone ever be happy without being cursed in these books? We'll see in book four.
I absolutely loved this book and the Ruby series. Great reads that I have enjoyed for years!

Will be babbling about it tomorrow at my blog http://melancholymusings.com
V.C. Andrew books has always been one of my little guilty pleasures!
Well, I rooted for Ruby in the last book, but this one made me go "Why you wanna go and do that?" Great story but some decisions were made, while ultimately ending up well, didn't start out so great in her favor. I couldn't quite be on her side through the whole thing. By the end I did actually cry a few tears. I'll definitely finish this series because I like it a lot, however I'm taking a break from the soap opera that is Ruby Landry Dumas Tate Andreas's life (yeah....that's her full name). G...more
