More from S.F.

Crafting “Tangled Secrets” was an exhilarating experience, as it brought clarity to several unresolved mysteries within the series. The enigmatic question of a leak or mole introduced in “Living Secrets” – specifically, the mystery surrounding how Lily’s secret was discovered – finds its resolution in this latest installment. Moreover, “Forgotten Secret” cast a shadow of suspicion over characters like Rook and Uncle Bill, whose motives and truths are finally unearthed in “Tangled Secrets.”

Inspiration for this narrative complexity came from diverse sources: a television episode sparked the concept of a daughter relinquished for adoption, while a film suggested the thrilling double life of a secret agent. These ideas were not only incorporated but also transformed to enrich the tapestry of the story, intertwining with elements of chaos and confusion to enhance the intrigue and excitement.

This series, starting from the prequel, has been a journey of dropping subtle hints and planting seeds that would flourish into the full narrative of “Tangled Secrets.” The series is a vast landscape of potential stories, each more compelling than the last. I hope “Tangled Secrets” not only captivates and satisfies but also invites readers deeper into its intricately woven world. Enjoy the latest dive into our unfolding saga.

MY REVIEW

The story is filled with espionage, danger, secrets and many characters that make it hard to tell who to trust. The author had me confused at times because there are a lot of characters so I had to really concentrate on the story. I love a good mystery mixed with intense action. Everywhere you turn the path widens to figuring out who is who.

I did like Olivia and the Ghost the best. They have a connection that goes back years. Revenge is the focus of this story and illustrates what someone will do to retaliate. I liked the CIA involvement along with the FBI and other high ranking offices that seemed to all come together to rescue a young woman. The best part of this story is when the pieces start to fit and they begin to close in on stopping a tragic event from happening.

Great story for those who love a thriller that takes skills to unravel. It is light on faith but still an outstanding book. I mentioned this earlier but I really wish there were not so many characters. It was hard to keep up with and at times I felt lost. The ending wasn’t surprising except it leaves us with a cliff hanger. Hopefully the author is planning on a follow up to this series.

I received a copy of this book from Celebrate Lit. The review is my own opinion.
