Shattered Memories (The Mirror Sisters Series)

Let's be absolutely fucking clear here - V.C. Andrews did not write this book. The book cover might claim she did, but it's a bold-faced lie by the publishers to try to push these new books. The crap Neiderman writes has gotten worse and doesn't sell as much as it used to. V.C. Andrews has been dead for THIRTY years now, and her notes were long used up. It's 100 percent Neiderman now, and it befuddles me that the publishers and family keep pushing this even though V.C. left behind several manuscripts which any fan would LOVE to read (like the Obsessed)

As a V.C. Andrews fan, I want to see a book come out that was actually written by V.C. Andrews herself, not a lazy ghostwriter who knows her name sells better than his own, and is trying show more to see what kind of crap he can get away with under her name (Secret Brother, Whitefern, anyone?)

If the ghostwriter wants to keep writing - then by all means, let him do so under HIS own name, and have the REAL VCA's unpublished manuscripts finally out for us VCA fans! The publishers would make a lot of money off that, which makes me wonder why they insist on passing Neiderman's crap under VCA's name but not releasing her actual manuscripts! And releasing a bunch of books ONLY in e-format instead of doing the smart thing and i don't know, releasing all titles in BOTH paperback and e-format?

If you're unhappy with the publishers and the ghostwriter, make yourselves heard.

As for the book itself? Short version - all three books in this series could have been edited down to fit in one book, especially this third volume. It answers no questions and is very dull/bland after Broken Glass. Neiderman did a decent job with the first two books, and then bam, we get this - it's like he purposely set us up with the promise of a good tale, only to disappoint with the final volume. So, fuck you, Neiderman. Fuck your half-assed efforts to cash in on a woman who should have been put to rest a long time ago. show less

It is no secret that I am a fan of the author (& ghostwriter in this case). I was excited to finish this series. I wasn't disappointed. The reader gets to follow Kaylee as she deals with the emotional aftermath of the ordeal her twin sister put her through. You can almost feel her emotions as she struggles just to get through each day. This book was the perfect ending for the trilogy in true V.C. Andrews style.

What a cop-out ending. It was total crap. I read this whole book hoping there would be closure. There was nothing, but crap through the whole thing. Awful
