House of Secrets

A Novel

By: V.C. Andrews

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

From the New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews (Flowers in the Attic, My Sweet Audrina) comes a shivery gothic tale of romance, class divisions, and the secrets that haunt families for generations.

Ever since Fern could remember, she and her mother have lived as servants in Wyndemere House, the old gothic mansion of the Davenport family. She may have been a servant, but Fern developed a sweet friendship with Dr. Davenport’s son, Ryder, and she was even allowed free range of the estate.

But Dr. Davenport has remarried and his new wife has very different ideas about a servant’s place. Now Fern and her mother are subject to cruel punishments, harsh conditions, and aren’t even allowed to use the front door.

Yet, for all her wrath, the cruel woman cannot break the mysterious bond between Ryder and Fern. And when Ryder invites Fern to join his friends at prom, there’s nothing Mrs. Davenport can do to stop them nor can she continue to guard the secret that haunts the women of Wyndemere—but there’s nothing she won’t try.

After all, reputation is everything.

I've loved V C Andrews books since I was young

and I'm glad the stories are continuing in her style but also caught up in the current time. another solid storyline, well delivered and good narration. looking forward to the next in the series!

entertaining

I loved falling asleep to a story every night. its nice to close your eyes and listen.

leaves you wanting to continue on to the next book

as with all V.C. Andrew's books I love them and wish there were movies to go with all of her books.

Good book, but very much a bore.

I have been an avid VC Andrews fan for years. I used to read these books and finish them in 2/3 days. This book disappointed me very much. Not much happened and very predictable. I enjoyed parts and pieces but even the climax had very little excitement.

very good

loved it. interesting up to the last second. made the long drive to and from work easier to handle
