Laurie Lewis delivers an amazing suspense novel with Secrets Never Die. I was on the edge of my seat the entirety of the novel. While the characters were diverse and often unusual, they were realistic and believable. I found myself completely invested in and rooting for Tallie in her search for the answers regarding her past. The world building in Secrets Never Die is amazing. I felt like I was transported to small town Cutler’s Ridge and the surrounding mining communities. There are a lot of connections to follow, but it wasn’t too difficult. There were so many twists and turns, and changes in the story that it kept me interested and entertained in a way I haven’t been in a while. I can’t wait to read the second book in this suspense series!

This is the first book I have read by Laurie Lewis. The synopsis drew me in but from page one I was hooked. At first, I was very confused on what was going on and honestly thought I started the 2nd book first by mistake. It begins in Julia’s point of view, her being in 2014 but still running and hiding from the secrets of her past in 1993. Her one thing that she thought she could do, raising a normal child as a fugitive, until her name starts getting flagged and she receives a call from her handler. After seven seemingly normal years everything comes back in a rush leaving Tallie all alone with the mystery of who her mother was. What is the Mogadishu incident? What does Julia have to do with it? Why have they been on the run most of Tallies’ life? The world that the author builds submerge the reader in the world. Drawing you into the story and wanting to keep reading to learn the secrets that led to Julia’s death. I made it through this book in one day and can’t wait to start the second book, Revenge Never Rests, to see what happens next in Tallie Brown’s story.

Tallie Brown has been isolated her whole life. It was just herself and her mother. They kept to themselves and Julia raised Tallie all by herself. When Julia suddenly dies, Tallie is left with a choice. Start over under a new identity or uncover secrets from the past and find out who she really is. Tallie chose the latter. That choice brings her to a small town called Cutler’s Ridge. The townsfolk are not too keen on outsiders. As Tallie uncovers more clues about her mother’s past, it leaves her with even more questions than answers.
Meanwhile Jackson James is sent to Cutler’s Ridge to uncover a possible scandal. What started as a simple investigation job, quickly turned into something much more difficult. He meets Tallie and they band together to uncover both secrets.
This book was very complex and involved. Mystery, drama, a hint of romance, this book had it all. Twists and turns around every corner. Everything seems connected but why and how? Plus the ending was so surprising.

Do you enjoy puzzles? How about puzzles with some suspense thrown in? That’s what makes this book fun and intriguing. Secrets Never Die is a well written and intriguing suspenseful mystery. Bringing together two people in a town who doesn’t take too kindly to visitors. The author wrote a slew of excellent characters but the growth of the main two throughout it is beautiful to behold. Tallie recently set out to find answers. The woman she knew as mom passed on, but leaves behind a note for her to choose. 1 to just move on and forget that passed. Then the 2nd was to look for answers, however she might like what she finds on the other side. Jackson is a washed up reporter, who feels like he’s been set up on a wild goose chase. Little does he know he’s been thrown a curveball that could make or break his career completely. Being led byCutler Ridge on a hunch, turns out to be so much more. Dealing with the townsfolk was a different story, they give you a hard time and don’t want to answer questions about the mystery surrounding their town. When Jackson meets Tallie they are at odds, misjudging each other, but due to the growth they soon discover they need to work together to get the answers they need. For Tallie, who is my family? What did my mother mean to this town? For Jackson, it’s why I was sent here? How will this get my career back on track? These characters fit all kinds of molds which makes the book quirky vs all the mystery. I loved the intrigue of the puzzle and the government conspiracy suspense. It made for a very fantastic read. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

When I first started reading, I really didn’t think I was going to enjoy this. There were so many characters introduced and I was certain I was NOT going to be able to keep up with them, the amount of characters was truly overwhelming at first but every single one was brilliantly significant throughout the story. The plot had so many twists and turns I was truly on the edge of my seat, the suspense was too much to take at times in the best way. It was very hard to walk away from this book, not be able to know what happened next. If you love suspense and like to try figuring everything out before the end, this is for you.

This wasn’t a fast read for me, but it was a GREAT read. The author did a great job giving a little more of the characters personality throughout the entire story. So many times I thought I knew what was going on and she hit me with another piece of the puzzle I didn’t see coming. Highly recommend this book.

An entertaining read, which had me gripped from start to finish. In this page turner of a novel, Tallie Brown’s life never made sense, she was brought up in isolation by her mother, Julia. Who would take her from one third-world outpost to another, suddenly and without explanation. Life normalised for Tallie when her mother took a position on a mountaintop in the Pacific northwest. However, when Julia unexpectedly dies, Tallie soon discovers that her mother had a secret life. Meanwhile, Journalist Jackson James’s promising career ended, resulting in him working as the editor of a community rag in a posh D.C. suburb. When a lead about a potential scandal takes him to the dying Virginia coal town, Cutler’s Ridge, he meets a mysterious and beautiful woman, Tallie. Both Tallie and Jackson are loners and do not trust easily, but as their stories become intertwined they come to the conclusion that something terrible happened in Cutler’s Ridge. There are those in the town who want the past to stay hidden, and the couple are soon threatened putting them in danger. This was a fast paced story with great characters, an atmospheric small town setting, and a storyline full of drama and suspense. The likeable and relatable Tallie was a great main character, and I liked how her relationship with Jackson developed throughout the story. The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life and made me feel immersed in the storyline. An enjoyable and engaging read, which I definitely recommend.

Wow! I fell in love with this one. Life as Tallie knew it was all a deception. After the death of her mom, she set out to find out the truth. With the help of Jackson, they set out on a suspense trip that puts them in the hands of danger and mystery. Will they find the answers they look for? This author had me sitting on the edge of my seat holding my breath as I read. The suspense was palpitating. You can feel it as you’re reading. The characters are so well written and developed. You feel like you’re in the story with them. That plot, it flows smooth and the, BAM, plot twist, and back to smooth, repeat. Fantastic tale of intrigue, deception, suspense, lies. This is a must read. I would give it more than 5 stars if I were allowed. It’s that good!

Laurie Lewis has written a masterpiece of suspense and intrigue that keeps you glued to the pages from beginning to end! It keeps your mind spinning with guesses of what is going to happen next and how everything will eventually piece together. It is a complicated plot that will have you a bit frustrated at times because you will want to solve the mystery so badly! I kept wanting to skip to the end and find out how it all works out! But every page is definitely worth the read!
Tallie Brown was raised by a mother who never showed her much love. Or she did in her own way, by raising Tallie to be smart, always aware of her surroundings, and cautious of everyone. They moved around constantly with no explanation until they finally settled in a park ranger station for the past seven years. When Tallie’s mom suddenly dies, Tallie finds secrets hidden within her mother’s belongings that lead her on a dangerous journey to find out her true past. She ends up in a small coal town in West Virginia (the state I live in so this made the story that much more intriguing to me!) where she finds resistance from the towners and where she meets Jackson, a journalist who is also an outsider in town looking for information of his own.
When Tallie and Jackson’s paths cross, they are wary of each other at first but determine they could both use a friend and decide to team up and help each find the information they are looking for. The result is a journey of twists and turns that will keep you up all night in anticipation of what will be revealed next! Five stars from me for Secrets Never Die! So dive in and plan for a sleepless night!

I have had the pleasure of reading Laurie Lewis’s Love on a Limb novels around last years holiday season and I fell in love with her knack for spinning a sweet and gripping romance with some fun twists thrown in. When I saw SECRETS NEVER DIE, I just knew I had to see what the story would unfold into as soon as possible. I am so glad I scooped this one up. I adore when a book can consume me, make me feel as if I am in a separate, peaceful, state that I just can’t find anywhere other than a good book. This book very much did that for me. I found myself so wrapped up in the story that I quickly lost track of time and my surroundings. The sun set and the hours ticked until I found myself on the last page at 2 am wondering why I didn’t savor it just a bit slower.
The suspense in this story really grabs your attention right off with those first few chapters. I found myself completely engrossed in the journey Tallie takes. Tallie’s relationship with her mother and her past sets the reader up for a tale that will make you try and put the pieces together only to find out that you had them all mixed up after all. I was hooked until the end with the way things were built and the side twists and turns that I never saw coming. I can’t wait to see what else will come next from Laurie Lewis. I loved her writing this suspense and would love some more! In the meantime, I do have a few of her titles that I haven’t read yet that I will be going to dive into soon!

Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis took me a little longer than normal to get into, but that was because of all of the distractions of life. By the time I got to the end of this book I couldn’t and didn’t want to put it down.
Tallie grabbed my heart from the beginning and the more I read the more she had my heart. I loved the twists and turns we took together to find out the truth.
Jackson was sweet but relentless in trying to get to the truth. The moment when everything clicked for him I too had an aha moment. I wasn’t expecting the twist at all.
I really liked this book and i almost didnt read it. I’m so glad I did and I will look for others by Ms. Lewis in the future and hope I enjoy them as much as I did.

Tallie has lived with her mother Julia all her life. They have lived an isolated life and have moved around to different places. Tallie always felt something wasnt right but it was when her mum died suddenly and suspiciously that she started asking questions and uncovering secrets which has her not knowing who she really is.
Jackson James is a journalist whos career and reputation was ruined by a false story fed to him by someone. This person that appears with a job for him and a possible story to get him back into the big leagues of journalism. But can he be trusted.
Tallie’s and Jacksons lives become intwined as they both search of answers and are connected in ways they would never imagined.
Its a great page turner keeping you hooked from the beginning

SECRETS NEVER DIE is one of those books that I read based solely on the author’s name and nothing else. I have always enjoyed the way this author tells a tale and holy moly, this was quite the tale.
This is a well plotted, intricately woven, always in motion story that holds your attention from beginning to end. There are times that I got a little lost because I was reading too fast and missed important details. I had to make myself slow down so I could absorb what was going on.
Fantastic world building, suspenseful, twists and turns abound while leaning why some SECRETS NEVER DIE.
I think this book would make a fantastic selection for a book club or dinner night discussion.

Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis is a very, very clever suspense story that keep you on your toes as you try to navigate the delightful twists and turns. It really shows off Laurie’s talent as an author as the plot whilst seemingly random, is one dance that is so intricately woven together, yet delivered to draw you in. The characters are well developed and believable to read. There is action and drama, suspense and thrills that will keep you tied to your chair as you try to piece it all together and try to work through the puzzles. Laurie has done great job with this story and it is one of the best suspense stories I have read this year.
You need to read and discover the world that Laurie has created so you won’t be getting any spoilers from me.

There is also action and drama, violence and death, suspense and thrills that will keep you tied to your chair as you try to piece it all together. It is great to see Laurie branch out from the norm of historical romance and produce such a great read.

Laurie Lewis has become an author on my must list. Her books are suspenseful-the kind that keeps you hooked from the first page to the last page. Secrets Never Die is that book. There is little suspense and a little romance all wrapped into one. There are two mysteries taken place one about a female,Tallie whose mother moved around and the other is about a reporter, Jackson who has had problems in his career. Each investigates their lives which leads them down a path that they may not be ready to see or hear about. The story is gripping and is a roller coaster ride. Every decision can lead to a good situation or a bad situation. Will Tallie and Jackson find the answers they are after or will it put them deeper into the rabbit hole?

Laurie L.C Lewis is a new author for me, and after having experienced her writing I will definitely be looking forward to reading more. This book was an excellent thriller, suspense read that had me hooked & captivated from the start. You were on the edge of your seat with the twists and turns that were weaved throughout the read! I loved the characters that Lewis has created, they were well developed, relatable and likeable. I loved the journey we were taken on, it was a rollercoaster ride of suspense, intrigue, mystery and a thrilling ride of secrets. I’m so glad I got the chance to read this, I can’t wait to read more from this author to see what else she brings!

Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis is a book jammed packed with suspense and mystery. It grabs your complete attention right from the beginning and doesn’t ever let go. Laurie Lewis has created the kind of story has you on the edge of your seat trying to guess what might be happening. The story is full of twists and turns the whole way through and yet she does such a good job at controlling them all it is easy to keep track of what is happening. The characters were brilliant as well. They are the type that you just want to read more about. I would definitely not be disappointed if we were taken back into their lives at any point. This is a 5* author and an amazing book!

Secrets Never Die by Laurie Lewis is a fantastic mystery that is full of drama, suspense, danger, action, intrigue, twists, secrets, lies, cover-ups, heartache, questions, discoveries, and cleverly woven details. I always look forward to reading anything Ms. Lewis produces, and this book was no different. This is definitely my favourite of all her books that I have read, so far. I was completely absorbed by the story and was trying to figure it all out before anything was revealed. There is quite a lot going on in the story, with lots of details, and inter-connected elements which were a little hard to keep track of at times, but I soon got in the groove and loved unravelling the puzzle. Tallie Brown has just lost her mother and has been left with many questions she needs answers to. So, she embarks on a journey of discovery which leads her to Cutler’s Ridge where the story really takes off. The more she ‘investigates’ the more questions arise. Her world is shaken, and her mettle and emotions are tested to the limit. Little does she know going in that things will take quite a dangerous turn. There are secrets and cover-ups, and much to uncover on her quest for answers. Jackson James had a promising journalistic career and was on-track to great things, when it was all snatched away, and he has been living with the consequences of that bad decision ever since. When an opportunity to redeem himself comes to his attention, he jumps at the chance. Finding himself in Cutler’s Ridge on the trail of a ‘hot’ story. There he crosses paths with Tallie- and so the mystery begins. This is such a clever and suspenseful story, and I really enjoyed how Ms. Lewis pulled and twisted the tale, keeping the tension quite gripping. I loved the characters- they worked really well together. I would love to read more about them in future books. Perhaps they could have their own ‘investigation’/mystery series. ? Hint, hint Ms. Lewis. ? Highly recommended- definitely worth your time and money to read!!! Can’t wait to see what Ms. Lewis does next!

This is a tale that has a slew of misdirection and incomplete information. The story while interesting seemed to move forward very slowly. There are two stories unfolding. I struggled with this one holding my attention. I could easily put it down for a couple days and not really rush to get back to it. It does have its page turning moments but most of the middle just seems to be information gathering and not too much happens. We get to know more of the towns people and try to figure out Jackson’s reason for being there and who his contact really is.
This has a ton of characters. Some are helpful others are secretive and not helpful. Even the not sharing can be helpful to this story. Tallie has an analytical mind and is able to work through because of her upbringing.
This isn’t my first book by this author. For some reason this one just didn’t work for me.

Somehow Lewis has snuck into my life and beat me over the head with a mallet because I don’t know how I haven’t read more of her work before now. But suffice it to say she is on my “buy it all now” list! This book was brilliant! I simply have no words to describe how much I enjoyed these pages. It has the right combination of intrigue, suspense. The main characters were well developed and complex and relatable. Even the setting was a character on its own with plenty to say. I loved every page and cannot wait to read more. Simply brilliant!

I just don’t know where to begin with this review. Laurie Lewis has sat within the top of my “favorite authors ever” list since the first book I read by her, and that has not changed and I don’t think ever will. Each book is different, there is no pattern to her storylines and when I open a book that she has written I make sure I can read it in its entirety because that is what normally happens.
Secrets Never Die had me all twisted up, it was a never ending roller coaster ride constantly having me speculating the next move and finally just giving up and enjoying the ride. Being completely hooked happened on like page 1 and it never let up from there. The storyline was so unique and so precise with no stones left unturned, I was left with no questions or confusion, just simply wanting more! I did not want this story to end. I wouldn’t be telling the truth if I said I never got confused while reading because there were so many dips and curves along the way but it just took sitting and lining everything up in my mind to keep me on track. I can not even try to sum up what happened in this book except to say that the characters were amazing. I loved some, I liked some, and I strongly disliked some and there were a few parts where they made me smile. Suspense with a good mystery is one of my favorite genres and Miss Lewis hit this one out of the park.
I would love more from this town and these characters, I would love to know how the trip to Idaho turned out, but for now I’m going to go ahead and allow this story to end in my mind the way I want it to 🙂
Highly recommend this and anything by this author. She is truly amazing and sets the bar high with every book and then meets it or beats it on the next.
