Book Review: Deadly Secrets


If you’re looking for a slow burning romance, Deadly Secrets will be right up your beach (yes it includes a seaside like all good romance novels need). The book is about a young woman, Helena, who returns to the Mediterranean island of her birth after years spent in England. Helena returns to find answers to her father’s death years before. 

But a strange series of encounters and events convinces her that there was more to his death than simply being lost at sea. While trying to get to the bottom of things, Helena has to deal with the love-tug relationship she develops with housemate Dimitris. 

There is a small paranormal element in this story but it is heavily outweighed by the love story - so not something to worry about if you’re not a fan of the fantasy genre. 

The characters are well written and well rounded, making them very believable. The settings are also beautifully described and it’s easy to get lost imagining the landscape. My only critique with Deadly Secrets is that it is sometimes a bit on the slow side.
