Whispering Hearts

By: V.C. Andrews

Narrated by: Madeleine Maby

A desperate young woman’s bargain with a wealthy couple is not what it seems in this gothic tale of big city dreams gone wrong from the #1 New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon V.C. Andrews—whose books are now major Lifetime TV movies.

The English countryside is beautiful, but for Emma Corey it cannot compare with the bright lights of New York City. Tired of performing only in pubs and at church, she announces she’s moving to America—and her conservative father disowns her on the spot.

Distraught but undeterred, Emma will become a Broadway star—or die trying. The largeness of the new city, her new friends, the boundless opportunities make everything shine with promise. However, New York has a way of chipping away at a newcomer’s resolve. First a robbery. Then a low-wage job. Then the realization that such a city attracts the young and the talented—competitors all.

Just when it seems like Emma might have to admit defeat and return to the UK, she is introduced to a peculiar couple: a wife that cannot bear children of her own, and a husband who would pay Emma to solve that problem.

Emma’s father once told her, “Money is life.” But when Emma trades one for the other and moves into the couple’s remote estate to participate in an elaborate ruse, there’s no telling what kind of life she’ll have once she’s taken the money.

I hope there is a 2nd book coming to this novel! What happens next? I feel like I have been left with so many questions but no answers to those questions!

perfect audiobook to relax with

I was pleasantly surprised. This is definitely a relaxing book to listen too and the narrators voice was very soothing. I love V.C. Andrews writing style and all the little details. I love all of it! Samantha wants a baby and Emma is going to be her surrogate! What happens is a crazy ride trying to find life as a singer and a new journey into something completely different. Happy listening 📚🎧

love all her books

I always love the stories she writes they keep me wanting more and more. have been reading her books for over 40 yrs. my grandmother turned me on to her and I can't get enough of her books

unexpected. I was very disappointed at the ending.

it seemed as if someone else ended the book. an abrupt word ending. not worth my credit

BORING !!

This book is Nothing like the Foxworth’s, Casteel’s, Ruby Series, nor My Sweet Audrina. If Andrew Neiderman is using V.C. Andrew’s name, then at the very least copy the writing style, cliff hangers & excitements.

Attention ANDREW NEIDERMAN (Ghost Writer hiding behind V.C. Andrew’s name).
-At least take a break, re-listen to her original works & take some time to reflect. These recent books are so Monotonous & Dull that it is feeling like Exploitation.

I normally don’t write negative reviews, but if I just got fished 🎣 over the last 9 books by Andrew Neiderman, clearly it’s time to be honest. What a waste of so much money. Cringe!! Each time I hope for something similar to VC Andrew’s work only to be DISAPPOINTED. I wish he would at least make the effort as he did earlier. At this point he seems to be leveraging the name as much as possible just to make money. The quality has deteriorated beyond tolerance.

Quantity doesn’t mean anything when there is no quality.

I’m done. ✅
