Review – When a Secret Kills

July 5, 2013 By The Suspense Zone

After reading When the Smoke Clears and When a Heart Stops, I was really anticipating When a Secret Kills – the conclusion to Lynette Eason’s Deadly Reunion series. Let me say, it definitely met my expectations (which were really high) and When a Secret Kills just may be my favorite of the series.

Jillian and Colton were great main characters. I liked them from the beginning and, as the story continued, my affection for them kept growing. 🙂 I did get a little frustrated with Meg, though.

I loved the romance story in When a Secret Kills. It was sweet and realistic. I liked how the couple already knew each other and had been in love, but circumstances separated them, so it wasn’t an “instant” romance.

When a Secret Kills also had a lot of surprises. There were some things in Jillian’s story I just did not expect. Oh, and I loved the ending! It was cool how Lynette Eason wrapped things up.

Overall, I loved When a Secret Kills. This book held my attention from the beginning on and I had a hard time putting it down. I recommend it if you enjoy romantic suspense books. I think you should probably read the series in order, though, as it’ll definitely help with context. Wonderful read! 🙂
