Loved it

Can't believe I have to read the next part of the trilogy. Well off to Kindle to buy the book

Unusual

Any additional comments?

At first I was not sure how I felt about the story at times it was repetitive and predictable. I stuck with it and now I am looking forward to hearing the next book. It ended at a place where I was so into the storyline that it left me wanting to know what happens next and to me that makes for a good book. At first I thought the book was good against evel but that is not the whole of it. It's also about trust and love and what you would sacrific for it. I did like the fact that the story was not filled with a lot of descriptive sex scenes. I liked both narrators and how they brought a good first person perspective to the storyline, please keep them.

This is an odd duck.

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It's written in first person in alternating chapters from the perspective of the main two characters. The heroine is a young woman who seems to have plenty of time on her hands, though she's an up and coming photographer. She lives in an apartment next door to her best friend from college, and the two go out to clubs together. It's at a club late one night that she literally runs into a guy that she's strangely attracted to, but the attraction is unsettling. It's a big mystery who the guy is, and then there's another mysterious guy. Bad stuff happens. People close to her die. She's told she has a destiny that she denies, of course, while running around putting herself in danger.

It's pretty tame and somewhat predictable stuff. Kind of soporific, actually, though it weaves a spell. I listened right to the end to find out what was going on. Not sure I'd continue this one, probably not. Maybe if it's cheap I'll buy the next one on Audible for when I can't sleep.

Ho hum.

Unusual, paranormal romance

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Probably. Not sure. It was unusual. The book was a mystery with little information but, you keep listening. The characters and dialog work somehow. This was my most confused review.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I didn't like it. But I plan on buying the next book, so go figure.

What about Gabriel Vaughan and Piper Goodeve ’s performance did you like?

I liked hers better but he was good too. They are convincing.

Do you think Secrets needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Well the book ends on a cliffhanger. If I knew that I might not have bought it. I like a satisfying or real end, even if it is a series.

Any additional comments?

This one was hard to rate. I liked it but didn't love it. I will buy the next book to get to the ending......

love this book! Narrative exceptionally good!<br /><br />

suspenseful, intriguing, romantic and tastefully sexy. This is my third time listening to the Vaughn /Goodeve performance which is very on point , including their inflections, attitude and timing. so looking forward to the next two entries scheduled for release!
