First pre-publication review of Christophers Diary has come in: “Christopher’s Diary: Secrets of Foxworth” by V.C. Andrews There is no doubt that there are very few readers out there who do not remember where this all began. The Dollanganger books by the incomparable V.C. Andrews are held in the memory of millions of readers. She presented, by far, some of the very best in YA fiction: dark, creepy, and series that had you on the edge of your seat just waiting for the next one to come out. Now ghostwriter Andrew Neiderman has been delving into the Dollanganger clan, and is producing these books to expose secrets about the evil Foxworth Hall, and how the quartet of memorable kids had to enter Foxworth’s attic, while their lying mother attempted to erase them from her life so she could begin again. Taking place in the here and now, teenager Kristin Masterwood, has lost her mother, who just so happened to have been a distant relative of Malcolm Foxworth. Kristin’s father is hired by the bank to look into the remains of Foxworth Hall and evaluate it. But once they arrive on the ghostly property, Kristin finds a certain dusty treasure: a box containing a leather-bound book left behind by Christopher Dollanganger. Kristin decides to read the book, and begins to learn all about the children and the real truths that occurred in the horrible mansion. But the information has a strange effect on Kristin, and she and her boyfriend end up reading the diary out loud together in the attic of Foxworth. Although the Dollangangers are there in spirit, the fear that comes from the story surrounds Kristin, and how just by opening that book, she brings ‘Flowers in the Attic’ back to life. With one more still to come in this ‘journey back to Foxworth,’ this tale is a true escape with moments that bring the past alive and combine it with a frightening present that would make V.C. Andrews extremely proud. Reviewed by Mary Lignor, Professional Librarian and Co-Owner of The Write Companion for Suspense Magazine preorder::amzn.to/1jXG90C BN: bit.ly/1ns9z9B Apple: bit.ly/1rd0qD7
