Secrets Left Behind

Secrets Left Behind by Shannon Redmon is an action-packed romantic suspense novel. But even though the life-threatening danger pulses through every scene of this story, I thought it was balanced well with getting to know the characters and their backstories. So many suspense books focus on the action and leave out depth, but I didn’t feel that was the case in Secrets Left Behind. In fact, the author covers some heavy topics, like the effects of an abusive childhood, all while moving the characters forward and keeping the threat of danger near the surface. And the second-chance romance between Skye and Jake is a sweet, slow burn. I loved how Skye’s daughter helped bring them together. Overall, I felt like this was an entertaining, well-rounded romantic suspense. I was given a copy of this title by the author with no expectations of a positive review. All opinions are my own.

Well, hang on to your seats for this one! I was so sure I knew who the perpetrator was, only to be left guessing right up till the unexpected end. The author has done a fabulous job of setting the stage, giving tiny hints and leaving the reader floating down the river. The death of her husband has left Skye with a young daughter and few solid leads as to whether it was an accident or murder. The action happening around any questions just leads to more unanswered queries. Be ready for non-stop excitement! This ARC was received through Love Inspired Suspense and BookFunnel. My impressions and comments were in no way solicited.

If you enjoy a fast-paced, action filled, wonderful inspirational novel, look no further. Shannon Redmond has just the ticket with this one. And boy, are there some surprises here! I thought I had it figured out, but I was totally off! Well done. My thanks to the publisher and author for a copy of this book. The opinion in this review is expressly my own.
