I love VC and the books shes writes,as well as the ones that her ghost writer has published. This is the first book about Dawn Cutler, and while it took me a few chapters to get really invested in this one, I could not put it down afterwards. There are 4 more in the series after this and is a must read after this one. The story-line is really good with these books and full of plot twists, and of course evil grandmothers and tons of lies and deceit. Even though they are considered young adult novels, I am picking these up now in my 30's and am taken aback by some of the things in them, so I wouldn't really say they are suited for a younger audience, at least not when I was a teenager.Tags : Dawn [V.C.

Dawn VC Andrews 9780671670689 Books Reviews
The descriptions starts sounding the same and there are some spelling and grammar errors. Shortly through the book she keeps referring the her feelings as a ballon inflating or deflating with air. I found this very silly, along with some other descriptions. But the over all story is entertaining enough.
Loved this book! This is the first in the Cutler Series, and I was shocked when the secrets were revealed! Can't wait to start the next book in this series, Secrets of the Morning.
Great story. Sad to know that these things actually happens in real life. She finally revealed the truth after all the lies that was told. Can't wait to read the next series where she deals with some unfinished business! Are there more lies? Have to find out...
Love her books they are good for teenagers and adults.I have read her books since I was a child.very good
Not sure how I missed this series but glad I decided to start it. I now remember why I read her books in the first place....they are all deep dark family secrets, then it all turns out somewhat ok in the end of the first book. Now let's see where book two well take us!
Dawn is an amazing book with all the rich characters and plot twists that you could possibly want or need. It is every bit as interesting as flowers in the attic. this book came in like-new condition and I was very pleased with my order. I would recommend this item to anybody that likes young adult, suspense, or gothic horror.
Let me say that this novel is what got me into reading V.C. Andrews in the first place, though the details of the Cutler series never stuck out in my mind like "Flowers in the Attic" or "Petals on the Wind", or the Casteel or Landry series. As for "My Sweet Audrina", though the story was refreshingly original, I just never connected with the characters like I connected with Catherine Leigh Dollanganger, my favorite V.C. heroine because of her strength and passion. I read the first three Dawn books in three days, I couldn't put them down, I was so drawn into the story, and that is worth a lot.
However, what hurt this book is Dawn falling in love with Jimmy (and he with her), who she knew as her brother for the first fifteen years of her life, and the way she was able to just turn off her less than sisterly feelings for Philip just like that didn't make a whole lot of sense either. That kind of thing takes time and even then, especially if you've already been intimate (even if you haven't gone all the way), I don't know if those feelings ever really go away, even if you fall in love with someone else. Actually, I think Jimmy and Dawn getting together is actually weirder than her and Philip getting together, even if they were blood-related. Heaven's story was more believable, in that the boy, Tom, she had loved as her brother, she still loved as her brother, even after she found out they weren't blood-related; and her uncle Troy, with whom she had not only slept with, but already fallen in love with, she loved that way still, even if it is supposedly wrong (I am not sure if there is anything in the Bible about uncles not being able to marry nieces--I have heard it's only wrong if it's aunts marrying nephews, but I'm not sure). I agree with Corinne Foxworth Dollanganger (Cathy's mother from "Flowers in the Attic") that a lot of rules are man-made, for she and her half-uncle (really her half-brother, as you later find out) married in a church. But I digress.
Yes, Jimmy having always wished that Dawn was too pretty to be his sister was much creepier to me than Philip's obsession with her.
I've usually found the heroine's love interests in these novels attractive, and though Jimmy was a great guy (not to mention in uniform for awhile), I couldn't get past the stupid name of Jimmy Longchamp. I like James, but that last name needed to go.
I think this story was set (at the beginning) in 1978, and were Southern aristocrats really this obsessed with going by first and middle names? I thought it was a bit over the top. They acted like Dawn No-Middle-Name was a weird name. Maybe the GW just had too much fun with names. Authors tend to go overboard with naming their characters sometimes.
I did cringe at the description of Laura Sue (a pretty, useless thing, and Dawn's natural mother) as resembling a Dresden doll, and some of the metaphors to the themed titles sounded a bit silly (though I was so into the story, I don't have any examples).
I think there are twins in the first five V.C. series (two in the Dollanganger saga and two in the Landry series Ruby and Gisselle, and Ruby's sons, Jean and Pierre), save the Casteel (though don't quote me on that), which averages over a set of twins per series! I know the GW was trying to copy V.C.'s style, and there's nothing wrong with trying to emulate (for the sake of continuing her legacy, but don't copy!). There have already been two evil Grandmother Olivias, and whereas there was the grandmother Jillian in the Casteel series, there was Lillian in this one. I'm not really complaining about the similarities, as long as the GW gives each character their own voice and personality, but he didn't give Dawn much of a personality (he gave it all to Clara Sue). Now Cathy had a personality!
Another similarity is that all the women (save Heaven), have an artistic talent. Out of all the series, the Dollanganger and the Casteel series were the most original and I think that's because they are probably the only two that were the original ideas of V.C. (even though I think she died before finishing the Casteel series).
So, even though there are a lot of similarities (and Fern's character added nothing to this series), it is still well worth the time and money I spent on it.
I love VC and the books shes writes,as well as the ones that her ghost writer has published. This is the first book about Dawn Cutler, and while it took me a few chapters to get really invested in this one, I could not put it down afterwards. There are 4 more in the series after this and is a must read after this one.
