The Southport Secret by Sage Parker – Review by Colleen Noyes

The Southport Secret (Autumn Beach Book 6)The Southport Secret by Sage Parker
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Unfortunately for me the last book was just completely anti climatic. I didn’t feel as if there was any real big mystery or that it was presented in a way that grabbed me. I ended up not liking any of the characters at all which is unusual. I have read other books by this author and thoroughly enjoyed them so was let down. I felt that the story had great potential in the first three parts, but the last two just fell apart. I look forward to reading other sets by her and hope they showcase what I have grown to like about this author.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As the journey and mystery continue, I found myself not enjoying this book at all. I felt like this particular book focused more on Julie, and the fact that she whines and throws fits like a teenager especially where Lacey is concerned instead of a grown adult. I disliked that Julie acted more like a “high school” bestfriend who was jealous and didn’t know how to handle her feelings. This book also didn’t have much more to the mystery until the last couple of pages. I’m hoping that the author will redeem herself in the sixth and final part. I do like the budding relationship of Thomas and Lacie.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

With each new book a new mystery unfolds within the big mystery itself. Lacie is starting to question who she really can and cannot trust. Are the people who have been helping her truly there to help her or is there something mysterious going on behind their show of support? Each person in the town of Southport seems to have something to hide, and when the whole town appears to turn on Lacie you have to wonder how she might make it through. As she continues to unravel, each thread more and more comes into view, as well as more hurt, frustration, and even a little devastation.

The Southport Secret (Autumn Beach Book 2)The Southport Secret by Sage Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Right from the beginning of part two we get to see just how much of a narcissistic jerk Robert is, and how much Lacie has put up with, and given up for his every demand and whim. He apparently thinks the vow “obey” is literal.

The way that he acts and treats her throughout this entire book is frustrating. She’s trying desperately to figure out the secrets and mystery that is going on and then gets hit right upside the head with his next move. As the secrets unfold little by little you start to get a sense of where it’s all going.

The Southport Secret (Autumn Beach Book 3)The Southport Secret by Sage Parker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Being a 40-year-old woman who is a recent empty nester and now having to deal with the huge secret cannot be easy. As Lacie and her two friends, Julie and Thomas embark on their investigation to find out just what is going on you get to see the sweet side of the camaraderie that they have built.

You start to learn more and more just how much damage Robert has done to Lacie over the course of the 21 years of marriage. It’s hard to read and watch the self destruction and low self-esteem that she has at this stage in her life. I’m hoping that as each book goes on, we see her find some type of strength and inner self worth. The lies continue to pile up and you wonder how how did she not know?
