Praise for Dark Secrets:
"If you love a fast-paced read that is both unpredictable and engrossing, this book is for you.” Official Review by Juicy Books

"It's an underrated novel. I really liked it. It has some good story to keep the reader engaged. And the way it's written, I loved it. It doesn't contain some s**t things like a character's POV. It's perfectly narrated. It's different from other love stories!" ishitasingh2609

"Didn't put it down until I read it all in one go.” Alwyn Donnelly

"Had me addicted from the first chapter and couldn't put it down!” Lozzag

"Gripping, amazing, raunchy, nail-biting thriller. Couldn't put it down but didn't want it to end." Nat Worth

    'Behind the Facade' was one of those books that pulled me in and didn't let go. Full of betrayal, unbelievable and terrifying 'all too real' possibilities. The storyline was brought to life in an intriguing way. The characters ranged from despicable to innocent. Katie was quite feisty. I loved her spunk. Sean, even though he went about exacting revenge in a not so nice way, still had my vote in the why and the how. I truly loved the ending. A great add to your tbr list.

    Sum up of the book:

       Kate Pearson has a great life till one night she’s kidnapped. 

    At the mercy of an Irish terrorist she’s terrified for her life. Years later her life after her terrible kidnapping she thinks she’s finally found happiness again till she learns some dark secrets.

    Review:

    I’m having a hard time figuring out a rating for this book. While I do like some things about it other things I didn’t but it may just be my preference ? I will begin with my likes…. The book started off great and had me hooked from the first chapter. I started off liking Kate, she had real grit while she was kidnapped. After that the book kinda took a turn for me and just seemed a bit all over the place for me and I didn’t really care for Kate after. The ending was ok. I kinda feel like Kate went through a lot and kinda should have had a better ending. Overall I will say I will always support Authors and this is no way means I wouldn’t try another of their books.

    Very poor and a no convincing story. Lacking plot. How come police was not able do track Brena's and Angela murderer following the intrigued behind? This book shows nothing concerned with a good policial scheme.

    A roller coaster of a thriller with a hefty dose of romance and a well worked out plot. I loved the characters and good use of description and suspense. Would definitely recommend. Left thinking about it even after id finished it which I like in a book. An excellent read.

    There are better books about human trafficking than this

    This novel had some very good suspenseful parts, an interesting topic (human trafficking) and a strange love story.

    But the order in witch the story is told is unnecessarily chaotic. In this case a chronological order would have been the better choice.

    The characters left me wondering if anybody coud behave like that and I'm not talking about the head of the trafficking network. He was quite believable.

    This is a book with many twists and turns that kept me reading to the end. Some predictability to the story does not spoil the overall read. Well written and hopefully the authors will continue to develop their writing passion, Possibly with the help of a good editor they will achieve on going success in their literary careers. A good holiday read.

    Great first book

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    This is a complex story about deception, girls being sold as sex slaves, a death, a hostage situation, a business man, and his daughter.

    Having given the book three stars I thought the story plot was extremely good, however the style of writing was not quite to my taste. I felt a little confused reading the book as something was missing in the writing, which I think may be due to the fact two sisters co wrote the book and I think each has a different style.

    There are many twists and turns to the storyline which makes you want to read more and even though you understand what is happening with the young girls being lured into modelling only to be sold as commodities, you feel there is more yet to come. It is a book you cannot put down.

    I think that the talent in the Heap twins who co-wrote this book lies in their concept of storytelling. I would love to see them write separately using their own unique talent.

    As a first book it is excellent.
