Out of the Attic is the tenth installment in the Dollanganger series, aka Flowers in the Attic. I received an advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley. If you loved the original series you may want to try this but this one just wasn’t for me. While I didn’t mind Beneath the Attic I think stretching this flashback to the grandmother further just lost my interest. Andrew Neiderman has written the books over the past several decades and some are still good but yet others I wish I didn’t keep getting pulled back by nostalgia, this would be one of those times. Now I’m sure a few people are asking how an author who died in the mid-80s is still releasing new material and that is due to her family hiring a ghostwriter to continue her work. Garland was wealthy and handsome and intrigued Corrine but when she met up with him without a chaperone things went too far leaving Corrine pregnant however Garland did the right thing and married her bringing her to Foxworth Hall. This series features Corrine Dixon who was at the age she was looking for a suitor to marry when she met Garland Foxworth. Beneath the Attic was the first book that took readers readers back to the great grandmother of the Dollanganger children who were locked in that attic. Andrews is the second book of a prequel series to the author’s famous Dollanganger series that began with Flowers in the Attic.
