I loved this book. Idk why it took me so long to read it it. But it was so good! I need the physical copy. It literally had me in from sentence one.
LITTLE PAULA
V.C. Andrews, author
Mystery/Thriller
In this highly anticipated sequel to Eden’s Children, Faith and Trevor must come to grips with not only the fact that the person they called their mother is dead and their father is now in control. Then he does the unthinkable and rips their newborn daughter from them.
I have to say I didn’t think anything could shock me after my first V.C. Andrews book but she does not disappoint in this book. As shocking as the first book, this was a five out of five star book for me.
I am a huge fan of V.C. Andrews and I will always love whatever she writes. I can’t wait for more! Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the read!
This book was really difficult to get into. Most of the time I could not keep up with what was going on with the characters or the storyline, perhaps it was me. I thought this was the original VC Andrew’s which is my bad. You can tell this is not her original writing. All over the place and just no real story line or character development. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Thank you for providing me the opportunity to review “Little Paula” prior to publication. I am appreciative and leave my sincerity review voluntarily.
I didn't enjoy this sequel as much as the first book. The overall story is good but the writing leaves something to be desired.
I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I'm still not quite sure how I feel about this one. For me, it definitely read like a V.C. Andrews book, and I felt like this book was better than the first one. I do think that some of it seemed off base for the modern time setting, but I really enjoyed reading it and read it in one sitting. I can see where this could be an ending to this series or could lead into another book, but it did leave me with it feeling finished enough to end it and not have more questions.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC copy of Little Paula. Getting approved for it, I learned about the ghostwriter for V.C. Andrews and was intrigued by the story as I was unaware of this fact. The writing is good however the story seems very outdated, as I found it very difficult to tell what time period it was taking place. The characters mannerisms and speech as well as the setting gives a very Little House on the Prarie feel but it didnt take away from wanting to keep reading and know what happens. There are a few twists to it, nothing really jaw dropping but it does bring attention to mental health and handling traumas. Overall it was a good quick read with an interesting and enjoyable story. Probably just not what most are looking for from a typical V.C. Andrews style we all wre used if you grew up with her books.
I did like the first book better but this one definitely didn’t disappoint either. I love how the two stories are together, basically this one picked ho where the last one left off which some books don’t do so that was definitely a plus, however this book was also difficult to read because of what happened to the baby and that ending.
Little Paula by V.C. Andrews
I loved this author and all she wrote since I was a teen that said, this book just wasn't for me. It is so much like the other series that it just didn't seem original or different. It was well wrote and characters were fleshed out it just felt repetitive. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this and leave my opinion.
Thank you to the author, the publisher, and Herbalist for an ARC of this book.
There's not much I can review with this book because, as we all know, V.C. Andrews (or her ghost writer to be more accurate) writes the exact same book. Even with that in mind, I am a diehard fan and enjoyed this series. If you're a fan, you don't want to miss out.
I have been a huge VC Andrews fan since my teenage years.
However, I have found that since the original author passed away, the writing is too similar and repetitive. I felt that it was unrealistic for taking place in today's world.
I did read the first book in the series, Eden's Children, and had a tough time feeling a connection to the characters. There seemed to be no depth to anyone.
Once again, it was just the overused (by this author at this point) trope of brother/sister incestual love and non-consensual sex.
This was my first V.C. Andrews book in many years. I knew that Andrew Neiderman was ghost writing, but I really could not tell a difference from what I remembered reading of V.C. Andrew’s early work. It is well written, and characters were well developed. I just struggled with the concept of the book and knowing that somewhere this is a true story. For someone who likes dark, twisted, sadistic thrillers, this book is perfect for them. For the social worker, grandmother or parent of young children it is not. Thank you, NetGalley, VC Andrews and Galley Books for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
Okay I have to be honest, I was a bit underwhelmed with this book. I was just expecting more from this author. It was still good though!
This sequel/Book 2 of the Eden series was a really decent read. I was and always will be a VC Andrews fan so I feel loyal to read these books. I was pleasantly surprised with this book. and didn't have the ending figured out so win win.
Thank you to Netgalley, Gallery books and the Author V.C. Andrews for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
⭐️Rating: 1/5
✍🏼Author: V.C Andrews
📖Genre: Thriller
I'm confused at what I just read. This is the second book from V.C Andrew's Eden series. This is very similar to other books in her catalog and I think the reader should take care and check for some of the trigger warnings. It was very difficult to get through this book and I almost DNF'd it because it just didn't interest me. The writing felt all over the place, and the plot was very weak in my opinion.
Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are that of my own.
#netgalleyarc This was just okay. It’s not the worst of the books written from the V.C. Andrews world but’s it also not the best. I did like this one a bit more than the first one from this series and I’m curious to see if this series continues. Not a book that I’ll purchase for my high school library but a fun read for me.
Little Paula is the second book in the Eden series .
Faith and Trevor wake to find out that baby Paula is missing and quickly learn that their father had sold the baby to someone thinking it would make their life easier. While they are still processing this , their father gets in a horrible accident that leaves him in a wheelchair and needing a lot of help. Faith & Trevor learn how to deal with all of the new adjustments while trying to find a way to get their baby back.
This was a quick read and is pretty typical for a V.C. Andrews type story. Thank you Netgalley and publisher for a copy for my opinion.
I would recommend this book if you're looking for something dark and eerie. It won't be everyone's cup of tea but it's a solid 5 stars from me!
I was really happy to have the opportunity to be able to read more about the Eden family. Little Paula is the second book in the new V.C. Andrews series following up after Eden’s Children. This book picks up right where the other left off. Andrew Neiderman is the ghost writer for Virginia Andrews following her death and he writes gothic type stories with the same sick and twisted evilness, usually along incestuous lines, that Virginia did. I love them! This story goes on to tell what life was like for the family after the mother, Paula Eden, falls to her death on the stairs. Her sick, demented and sadistic teachings were really ingrained in her children, especially in Trevor. I really enjoyed reading this and I hope that this is not the end for this series. I would love to know what the future holds for Faith and her baby and see if Lance fits into it somehow. I’d like to thank Gallery Books and NetGalley for accepting my request to read and review this title. I own the entire V.C. Andrews collection and will be purchasing this book when it’s released. I am a big fan and recommend everyone give these books a try. I’m giving this a 4 star rating and look forward to reading more by this author as they are released.
