An excellent debut for an engaging cast of characters
By Arcix
Dirty Little Secrets may be a misleading title for the new Ms. Noble endeavor since the book is much more than an entertaining small-town romance novel.
Brooke's story is the journey of her recovery from a violent and traumatic event. The tone of the narration is more objective than dramatic, the stark reality of the victim's loneliness and trauma jumping off the page.
The book is also a suspense story, in its peculiar way, with the author experimenting with different genres and mixing them in a delectable and entertaining fashion.
The opening suggests a psychological thriller, with its grey, dark, and sinister atmosphere. After the first few chapters, the plot turns into an action story, then mystery and suspense, all of them intertwined by both intense love passages and charming romantic interludes.
Dirty Little Secrets introduces an entirely new cast of characters, some of them just jotted, others thoroughly defined, giving life to a colorful, diverse, and intriguing community that promises entertainment and inspiration for the installments to come.
The two protagonists are lovely, multi-faceted characters that intrigue and captivate the readers, who cannot avoid sharing their emotions in a very entertaining experience.
Finally, Dirty Little Secrets includes many of the laugh-out-loud moments that characterize Ms. Noble's prose. Her signature sense of humor punctuates the narration, surprising the readers at the most unexpected moments and making the book, above all, an exhilarating reading experience.
