I recently finished reading Twisted Roots by VC Andrews. I have to say, I was mildly disappointed that it actually told Willow’s daughter Hannah’s story. Granted, it wasn’t a bad book at all, but there were things in it that to me, did not typically go with the rest of the series and frankly, the book didn’t really seem to fit that well into it. I realize that it is ghost writers writing these books, but the least they could have done was made it a bit more in keeping with the rest of the series. It’s easy to see why some VC Andrews fans have stopped reading the more recent series that are being released under her name.

The basic gist of Twisted Roots is that Hannah feels a unwanted and unloved when her baby brother is born, then dies. She takes off with her boyfriend and uncle to head for New Orleans to start a singing career, but her boyfriend takes off and she ends up having to go home. The entire book is much less dramatic than I would have expected and I’m honestly not as fond of the book as I was of Willow and Wicked Forest.
