Title: Best Kept Secrets
Author: Tracey S. Phillips
Published: October 8th, 2019
Genre: Adult Fiction, Thriller
AMAZON| GOODREADS
Synopsis: Best friends tell each other everything.
Even their deepest, darkest secrets--pinky promise.
Right?
Morgan Jewell and Fay Ramsey are enjoying their last summer together before college. Fay is shy, with a controlling mother, and Morgan is the perfect, wild, loud-mouthed yang to Fay's ying. But when Fay is found dead, Morgan's entire world crumbles.
Years later, Morgan is still haunted by the abrupt end to her best friend's life. She knew Fay held a secret in those final days, but Morgan, now a homicide detective, has failed to make a picture out of the crooked puzzle pieces she left behind. Nothing makes sense. The leads have run dry. Until she's called to the scene of a murder: a woman whose body is left mangled, too similar to Fay's to ignore.
Could it be? Morgan vowed to do right by Fay. This is the case she's been waiting for to set her back on the killer's trail. But the closer she gets, the harder it forces her to confront the memories of herself and her best friend. What was her secret? What got her killed? Maybe Morgan didn't know her at all.
I'm still deciding on the rating!
I really liked certain parts where Morgan showed a glimpse of Fay, and the synopsis had pulled me in for the fall feels. I love to read thrillers in the fall 💛🍁
The plot seemed to go way different than expected, but still in range and I stayed up a bit later to find out what happened next. There was a pov shift that at first was weird and interesting, and I'd wanted to see where it would go.
The said character that we start to see more of is more unsettling as we go on, but this character also has some intriguing flashbacks and memories that reveal more with each turn of the page.
Character-wise, Morgan didn't connect for me but I did still like her as a protagonist.
Donnie was wonderful, and I really wish that Rob and Morgan had ended up together somehow!
There were very few characters that I cared for, and the other pov character was definitely not one. I wasn't sure at first what role she was playing, but eventually, it clicked!
This book is about two women that each has kept secrets very well, and parts of their lives with those secrets are now enter-twining. One is a detective hunting for the murderer of her best friend, and the other holds some very dark secrets and harsh past.
A page-turning thriller for a cozy day in fall!
[⭐⭐⭐] [3 stars!]

I've been getting that a lot-trying to decide on a rating for a book has become harder for me for some reason!
ReplyDeleteYes! I don't know why, but I'm having trouble giving it a fixed ratings right now :(
DeleteI'm not sure if this one would be a good fit for me, but I also don't read a lot of thrillers. I'm happy this one kept you turning the pages even if you had a hard time connecting with the characters.

I try to read more thrillers and stuff in October, but any other time of the year I don't really touch them lol!
