Review: Shattered Secrets by Karen Harper.

This was a well written mystery about missing children. After many years Tess has come back to her home town to sell her mother‘s home. At this time it was a flashback to twenty years earlier for Tess when she was kidnapped at the age of four. Now that she is in her home town children started going missing again. Tess doesn’t remember what happened to her when she was kidnapped at the age of four. However, months later she was found walking down a deserted road.

Well, coming home now the town put her through turmoil battering her with questions that she had no answers for because children were missing again. This was a suspenseful, harrowing, intense descriptive story that kept me intrigued to the end. The setting was in a creepy small town that featured many suspects and various weird characters with a lot of twist and turns, event and happenings to keep the reader intrigued. I enjoyed the setting, the way the story was told and all the little crazy happenings throughout the book. ( )

Two other books in this series that I may want to read. Forbidden ground and broken bonds. ( )

Tess, who was kidnapped as a child from her home, has to come back home to Cold Creek to sell her Mother's house. As Tess reluctantly returns another child is abducted. The boy who was babysitting Tess and her sisters is now the Sheriff and is in charge of the investigation. Hoping that Tess can help him with her memories that she cannot recall at the moment Sheriff Gabe McCord makes a connection with her tries to trigger some of her memories to see if it will help with the current missing girl.

Some strange things start happening around Tess's house, some are happy to see Tess home and others are trying to get her to leave town now. Quite the series of events occurs while Tess is in town. She starts falling in love & memories start returning in reference to her own kidnapping.

Tess has a great desire to help find the other missing girls and keeps searching for more memories, while trying to help out the sheriff she falls into some more trouble and ends up getting into some hairy situations and eventually abducted again.

A must read to see how the chain of events plays out and if Tess is found and can be with her new found love. ( )

I really wish we could give half stars, I would give this one 3 1/2.
I found this improbable number of disasters she found herself in a little tedious. She no sooner got rescued from one peril and then was right into another.
Storyline was good. I figured out the who, but not the why and was a little disappointed when it all came to light, seemed a bit of a letdown ( )
