Where Secrets Stay

The Secrets Trilogy, Book 1

De: CherAnn Wright

Narrado por: C. J. Locks, Gabriel Gage

Betrayal. Murder. Justice. A grandmother's death unlocks secrets three generations kept buried in the Georgia soil. Secrets that whisper through prophetic dreams and abandoned houses where the dead refuse to stay silent.

Kevan Renee Copeland has built walls around her heart, using her camera to capture the beauty of decay while keeping everyone at arm's length. When her beloved Gammie Frances dies, Kevan discovers hidden property deeds, cryptic journals, and a key that unlocks more than doors.

As she explores the abandoned farmhouse haunting her dreams, she encounters Nathan Hill, a stranger searching for answers about his sister's disappearance decades ago. Their investigations collide at the same decaying property, where supernatural encounters blur the line between past and present.

Kevan must confront not only her grandmother's dark secrets and her own brutal childhood, but also the prophetic gifts she's spent years denying. As she reads Frances's journals, a chilling pattern emerges: women in her family have always protected their own, no matter the cost. When the connection between Nathan's missing sister and her grandmother's past becomes undeniable, Kevan faces an impossible question: If the truth destroys everything you thought you knew about the people you loved, is it still worth finding?

“Such a haunting and intriguing story that kept me interested the whole way through! I love how the author weaved everything together. And what unexpected twists!”

Edge of my Seat...

When I say I love a thriller that will have me on the edge of my seat this is what I mean. When a story opens with this jaw dropping moment you know your in for a ride. The amount of times my heart stopped and broke for Kevan, but the way everything unfolded and that ending I sure wasnt prepared for. Bravo to the voice actors they helped bring this story to life. I know I just found my next thriller author. If you didnt notice I gave nothing away and thats for a reason you need to go into this without knowing anything. Happy Reading!! or listening lol

Where Secrets Stay

This was a thrilling, suspenseful story that had me feeling all types of feelings.
Kevan is a very special, gifted little girl. The gift was passed down from her grandmother. She has the ability to see and communicate with the dead. She has a childhood full of trauma brought on by her father. But as we learn through out the story, the trauma didn't just start with him. it went beyond that, to the days of her grandmother. Now that her grandmother has passed and Kevan as returned to town, she learns that she's inherited an abandoned house in the woods, that seems so meaningless at first. While she is in town, she meets Nathan who is searching for answers to what happened to his sister who went missing more than two decades ago. The story intricately weaves the lives of everyone together and the connections start falling into place with shocking revelations and buried secrets that begin to reveal themselves. Kevan learns that what happened to her as a child was so dark and so traumatic that her brain basically wiped it form her memory to protect her.
This story was a bit emotional. The life both Kevan and her grandmother had to live were hard, yet they survived. When the story starts to connect, my jaw was on the floor. I sort of suspected what was happening, but it didn't take away from the impact the revelation had to the story.
I listened to the audio version of this story and I thought it was great. There are some lines that were repeated twice, almost back to back, as if it missed being edited. Also, the male narrator portion was slightly lower, as he reads in an almost whispery tone, where as the female narrator was in a more normal tone, so I had to keep readjusting the volume. The narrators did a good job with the performance of the story. I just felt like the male narrator didn't really match with the female narrators energy. It's still a great story and still delivers a meaningful impact. I do highly recommend giving this one a listen.

The secrets and twists are crazy!

This type of story could only work and make sense in the south and that's exactly where it takes place. I loved that the narrators didn't try to change their voices so much for the opposite sex characters. That's a huge win in my book. I did have to increase the listening speed to 1.2x because at regular speed there were a lot of long and drawn out pauses (in my opinion) between sentences with some of the characters and I noticed it more in the Nathan chapters. Plus bumping it up just that little bit took it from a 9h 45m book to an 8h 8m book. Totally binge worthy in a day. Highly recommend listening to or reading this book and book 2 before book 3 comes out next year! That's what I plan to do!
