This is the first book I've read by this author & it definitely won't be the last! This story kept me intrigued the whole way through!

This story is very good but also disturbing.

If you have little kids at home you may want to set this one aside. This story is about abuse and child trafficking and goes into some detail.

It’s about the people in this world who you would think you can look up to and trust…….then realize those are the people behind your own kidnapping.

A good read if you can stomach it.

Our Secret Circle is a dark and disturbing novel about human trafficking. Told in a way where it can only consume, grip and make you realize how much of an issue this actually is. How powerful people get away with such hateful crimes. I absolutely love that the author brought attention to this subject, how well she executed it and made me feel deeply for all these girls. Please check your trigger warnings !

I thought it was so well described, so vivid. I absolutely loved Braydee, her resilience and strength. She was absolutely magnificent. As much as this is a hard story to hear, the overall message was so well conveyed by the author. I was on the edge of my seat, I was nervous, I was emotional, I was mad, I truly felt it all.

I truly loved this book and the message it conveys. How to stay aware of your surroundings, watch for signs in people around you showing you they're unsafe. I also love that there's 10% of proceeds of this book going to lock up sex predators and help fund the rescue of sex slaves in the USA. Just read it ! It's worth it.

✨️ Thank you to @netgalley, @thenativepublishers & @teciamclaughlin for my gifted ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This sucked me in and refused to let go while making me so uncomfortable. It's so more rigid yet so good. Masterful. And the twists were nothing short of shocking. The character development was phenomenal.

How did I forget to review this?! This was sheer perfection! One of the few books I've read where I was completely clueless throughout. The writing is engaging and I was drawn in straight away. The characters are well written and original. The twists were......*chefs kiss*..... absolutely masterful! And It was just the most ride to be part of. Its one of those books that you can easily imagine being made into a netflix 8 part series and binge watching over a quiet weekend. A must read

Tecia McLaughlin’s “Our Secret Circle” is an exciting and suspenseful novel that keeps readers guessing what is happening until the end. However, from the very first page, the author captivates the reader with an exciting plot that makes you not want to stop reading it.

In the story, Chandler Grey the recently widowed man tormented by his wife’s tragic suicide finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue and danger when he meets the beautiful but enigmatic Braydee Quinn.

One of this book’s most vital points is how the author makes the reader feel tension or uneasiness. The protagonist’s psychological suffering and the morbid atmosphere linked to the investigation render the reader completely tense.

The plot is tightly knit, with every chapter revealing new clues and revelations that drive the story ahead. The author masterfully combines suspense and tempo, thus making sure that the readers are always interested and want to reveal the truth to the protagonists. Surprising twists and turns keep the plot unpredictable; thus, audiences are left guessing details until the last few pages.

In addition, the characters in “Our Secret Circle” are developed and identifiable. The weakness and resilience of Chandler Grey make him a worthwhile protagonist, while the company of the secondary cast enriches the story in the form of added complexities. The author delves into the issues of regret, regret, and the consequences of lying, contributing to the pathos of the entire story.

However, the book has one minor flaw: more clarity in some plot points. Some aspects could have been discussed more or clarified significantly on the participation of the local judge.​​ Furthermore, some minor characters might have received more attention, allowing for more excellent character development.

In general, Our Secret Circle is an exciting thriller for the fans of the genre. Chandler Grey’s search for answers is gripping throughout, and what he eventually finds is simply stunning. With its sophisticated sense of suspense, compelling characters, and surprises at every turn, this novel will capture readers’ attention throughout. “Our Secret Circle” is an absolute knockout for any reader who craves a fresh and stimulating murder mystery. I highly recommend this book; I loved it!
