Where Secrets Stay

This story kept me guessing all the way to the end. Once I thought I had figured it out, I was wrong. Several components of the story tugged at my heart and made me feel many different emotions. I love when I can get lost in a book and I got lost in this one! The story and twists were so clever. I started this book yesterday and finished today. If you want a book that you can’t put down, this is one of them!

I read a lot and this was such a phenomenal story. I literally couldn’t stop and finished it in one sitting. It’s tragic and heart wrenching and yet you must read on. It’s also loving and touching too. It’s a story of struggle and hurt but also seeing that good can still come from broken pieces if you put them back together. Brilliantly written! I will be looking into what else this author has written!

"Where Secrets Stay" by CherAnn Wright is an absolute page-turner that captivated me from the very first chapter. This was the first book I've read by this author, and I am already eagerly looking forward to exploring more of her work. Wright masterfully intertwines suspense, mystery, and deep emotional undertones, creating a story that is as haunting as it is compelling.

Inspired by true events, the novel follows Kevan Renee, an artist haunted by her traumatic past, as she inherits a forgotten estate with a dark secret. Wright's writing brings the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned estate to life, with every detail painting a vivid picture of a place that holds far more than just memories. The way she portrays Kevan's gradual unraveling of the past is both chilling and deeply moving, keeping the reader on edge with each new revelation.

Nathan Hill's subplot, centered on the decades-long disappearance of his sister, adds another layer of mystery and emotional depth to the story. Wright skillfully weaves together these two narratives, leading to a climax that is as satisfying as it is surprising.

The themes of buried secrets, childhood trauma, and the quest for truth are explored with sensitivity and insight, making "Where Secrets Stay" not just a thrilling read but also a profound exploration of the human psyche.

If you're a fan of suspenseful, emotionally charged mysteries, this book is a must-read. CherAnn Wright has proven herself to be a talented storyteller, and I can't wait to see what she has in store next. Highly recommended!
