Book Description
Delia Yebarra survived a treacherous desert crossing to protect her friend Ignacio from murder charges. Now, the time has come once again to leave her tiny Mexican hometown: Delia's cousin Edward convinces her to return to his world of wealth and privilege in Palm Springs, and soon Delia, a beautiful and popular senior at an exclusive private school, is living the American dream. But Delia will quickly discover that high society has a very dark underside.
Delia's malicious cousin Sophia is sparking horrific rumors with Delia at their center. Racing to do damage control, Delia's mortified aunt Isabela introduces her troublesome niece to the handsome son of a wealthy Mexican American politician. An attraction sparks and a whirlwind romance begins...but Delia's heart won't let her forget her humble roots -- or Ignacio. And when tragedy tears her world apart, will it be too late to save the one she cares about the most?

This review is from: Delia's Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
DELIA'S HEART is the second part of the journey for Delia Yebarra. We first met Delia in DELIA'S CROSSING. After the death of her parents, her long-lost aunt, Tia Isabela, brings Delia to the United States and a life of luxury that Delia could only have dreamed about.In DELIA'S HEART, Delia has managed to survive for a time living under Isabela's roof. Delia's cousin, Edward, is now at college with his friend, Jesse. Delia is attending the posh private school with her cousin, Sophia. And now, with her new friend, Fani, Delia has attracted the attention of Adan Bovio, the son of a senatorial candidate. Still struggling to fit in at school, just when Delia thinks things are going good, something else fans the flames of gossip. It doesn't help when Delia turns down a date with Christian Taylor, one of the most popular boys at school. It doesn't help when her cousin, Edward, buys her a fancy sports car to spite his sister (her cousin), Sophia. And it certainly doesn't help when Adan accompanies Delia to a birthday party and then proceeds to snub the birthday girl. But things may finally be looking up for Delia when her Tia Isabela starts treating her more as a daughter than her real daughter, Sophia. As long as Delia has the attention of Adan, nothing can go wrong. But as with any V.C. Andrews' story, readers already know that there's always a dark cloud hiding somewhere. And DELIA'S HEART is no exception. When a spring break trip to Mexico with her cousin Edward and Jesse leads to the arrest of her long-lost beau, Ignacio, life for Delia returns to the days when she first made the crossing to her new home. Can Delia have any happiness in her life? Will Adan's love be enough or will she be reunited with Ignacio? Will time find Delia living back in Mexico once and for all? Hopefully, all of these questions and more will be answered in the final part of the trilogy, DELIA'S GIFT. Reviewed by: Jaglvr

This sucked.,

This review is from: Delia's Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
I am an "older" reviewer (in my early 30's) having become interested in VC Andrews books after the Flowers in the Attic movie came out (even though the movie sucked). I started reading VC Andrews in jr. high and pretty much spent those years and through high school and the beginning of college reading all the books through the Ruby series. I was done when I read Melody and decided that it wasn't anything new and different. The formula was the same and I was tired of it. However, I recently discovered that the Delia series was to take place in Southern California (where I live) and the heroine was Latina (which I am) so I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately for me though, it was a big waste of time and money. I thought the author generalized Mexican culture. If the author had mentioned the exact area Delia came from it would have lent the story a bit of authenticity. I guess I could have stopped reading the books after the first one, but something compelled me to finish the series. Possibly, hoping that it would get better (it didn't), or maybe thinking that the character developments would somehow reveal a major plot twist... like maybe Delia would die and the story would pick up from her child (nope). Delia's character development was unevolving and her constant poor decision making made me feel like she deserved all that happened to her. I couldn't relate to her at all on ANY level, and I couldn't even root for her because she seemed like she never learned and was always going to be the damsel in distress, going around making stupid decisions left and right. To sum it up, the writing was bad, I didn't like the characters and the ending was lame.btw-In my opinion, Heaven series was the best and will always be by far the most interesting of all the VC Andrews books. 5 of 6 people found the following review helpful

I'm shocked at some of these positive reviews.,

This review is from: Delia's Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
Delia's Heart was just a rehash of everything we've heard before, over and over again. Including the horrifically bad writing...characters "chant" and "recite," their "eyes grow small." (WHAT does that mean? They squint?)These books are horrible. Even if these books are now geared toward teenagers, they deserve to read better than this. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: Delia's Heart (Mass Market Paperback)
It honors me to review another book by V.C. ANDREWS aka Andrew Neiderman. I had hoped to beat the "Queen of Mean" to a review but alas she beat me. But here is a good review for you. I only wish some people would get over the fact that Ms. Andrews died 20 years ago and without Mr. Neiderman's brilliance, we would not have VCA novels anymore.I never review the book or the plot. You have to read it and enjoy it. But this is not a tweener novel as the Queen of Mean suggests. Delia's Crossing pleased me very much, but simply put, I was blown away by Delia's Heart. This is an honest, heartfelt, gripping novel of a young woman pulled in so many directions I could hardly keep track of them. Yet she still manages to hold her head up high and come through it with the greatest gift of all... a child on the way. Aunt Isabella is a villain as true as Olivia Foxworth. You want to like her, you want to feel for her and her circumstances, but you just can't. She turns off hot and cold like a water faucet! I said it before and I will say it again... Isabella Dallas deserves a novel of her own! Beginning with the Willow series and continuing with this, the Delia series, there is a marked maturation of the characters and the plots. Young folks, "tweeners", and us old folks (ha ha) can enjoy the Willow and Delia works. I also liked very much that the book takes place over a matter of some years... not a short period of time. We get such a better insight into the characters. Will Delia's Gift blow me away even more? I sure hope so! Later in the year we will be treated to the Heavenstone Secrets. Dare we hope for more brilliance? Bravo, Mr. Neiderman, bravo! |
