Raymond read and liked Brittni's review of My Sweet Audrina:

"My Sweet Audrina is a jewel of a book. It felt magical to me reading it.

In this one, readers are treated to a deep mystery...Andrews really knocked this one out of the park, because there's no way I could've seen what was coming. And when everything was explained, the first time I read it I actually got confused because it was kind of complex. Once again I am struck by Andrews's ability to create a believeable family with problems; many families have dark secrets but it seems there are no books written about them, or at least none of Andrews's vein, because I have heard of no others. She can show us terror, terror that people go through every day with no monsters needed, just traumatic experiences.

Audrina is the only female protagonist in an Andrews book that I've ever liked. EVER. In fact, I relate to her.

I feel like this book came before the Casteel series so I'm going to say it's the first Andrews book to feature the evil sister cliche. I did feel like Vera didn't get enough attention as a child, though, so I didn't hate her as much as I hated the things she did. There's one character I ended up hating that I didn't expect to hate: Arden. At first he seems so great but then we see that he didn't help Audrina...simply running off to get a grown-up would've helped! And then afterwards, we see that just because Audrina's not ready to have sex, he uses Vera instead. Even when Audrina's in a coma, he's screwing with Vera, knowing her for the evil thing she is, disgracing Audrina! And he won't listen to Audrina when she tries to explain that her father is manipulative.

Love this one! This book is disturbing and will haunt you, just as the description of the house itself is haunting (and inescapable...) Too bad it's only one of three of the Andrews books that managed to really capture me. Still reading them all, though!(less) "
