It’s annoying, we know. App store rules prevent us from selling directly in the app, so for now you can only purchase ebooks on our website. Don’t worry: when you purchase an ebook on the web, it’s automatically added to your bookshelf in the app.

“In The Secrets She Keeps (Tennessee Cold Case #4), by Lena Diaz, Raine will do anything to stop her brother’s rapidly approaching execution, including kidnapping PI Callum Wright. Diaz deftly develops her complex, relatable characters with intensely emotional and snarky interactions that soften them. Her vivid descriptions drew me in from the opening scenes and kept me turning the pages until the thrilling conclusion. She explores the criminal justice system and how prisoners on death row are treated with nuance, offering a different perspective on the content from any I’ve read before. PI Callum Wright’s the only person Raine thinks can help convince the Governor to stay her brother’s execution. Raine offers Callum and his team a lead on a killer they are pursuing. However, she chooses to keep a fundamental secret from Callum. In a race against time, Callum and Raine work together to discover the truth before her brother dies and another man kills again. From the moment her brother went to jail for murder, Raine devoted every moment of her life to proving his innocence. She even studied law and became a lawyer. Raine has no friends and no social life—only her job and the quest to get her brother off of death row and out of prison. Beautiful, loyal, intelligent, stubborn, and proficient investigator, Raine gathers and analyzes information that enables her to detect a serial killer that the police were unable to find. A handsome former police detective who worked on the case upon which the murder conviction was based, Callum lacks technological skills and know-how and doesn’t like lawyers. He works for a company that solves cold cases and helps law enforcement agencies without resources solve cases. My favorite parts of the novel are Raine and Callum’s interactions and the suspense elements, which Diaz skillfully developed with vibrant descriptions. Raine and Callum and the novel’s secondary characters are as intriguing as Diaz’s multilayered, affecting story. Although the novel’s primary focus is its well-developed suspense elements, Lena Diaz transitions Callum and Raine’s relationship from an unlikely antagonistic partnership to a believable romance by the novel’s end. A full-blown romance within the novel wouldn’t have made sense for Raine’s character. So, focusing mainly on the suspense makes sense. I liked Raine and Callum’s characters a lot, though I may have disagreed with some of their choices and found their behavior frustrating at times. Diaz balances the novel’s shifting tones nicely without affecting the novel’s pacing. The Secrets She Keeps is a thrilling, funny, intense, angsty, suspenseful, and emotional read recommended for fans of dark suspense and themes such as serial murders, cold cases, criminal justice, and the prison system. An advanced review copy was provided by HARLEQUIN - Romance via Netgalley for review.”

“https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1578315603i/28722449.jpg I love a good police procedural so I snagged The Secret She Keeps right away. I also LOVE a wrongful conviction story. So, when Raine sets out to prove her brother is about to die for something he might not have done, she needs help. Callum is an investigator who gets sucked in to the case and Raine. But, in trying to find the real killer in her brother's crime, another case comes up and takes their attention. Fans of cold cases will really enjoy this. It is a good blend of romance and suspense (its very low heat but good chemistry). I'm not gonna lie-I was surprised by the end. I almost always see twists coming, but not this one. Overall, this was an enjoyable read with plenty of suspense and questions to keep you guessing.
