Add a gothic-tinged plot, and you have a book with wide reader appeal."- Booklist on The Secret Sister "The Secret Sister by Brenda Novak is indeed the best romantic thriller I have read... Brenda Novak has a raw talent for bringing her novels to life. Realistic, suspenseful, and an edge of your seat romance that will have readers coming back for more."-The San Francisco Book Review "This emotional novel showcases Novak's exceptional talent at creating genuine characters and real-life situations we sometimes try to dodge. The power of family is strong, and the element of mystery is stable throughout this romance. Fairham Island is painted as a picturesque seaside town, but the debut to this series could have readers believing there are a lot of buried secrets and stories to be told surrounding the residents' wishes for peace and quiet. Completely engrossing with a twist at the end you wouldn't dare dream of!"-RT Book Reviews (4.5 Star Top Pick), on The Secret Sister "A rare treat. Brenda Novak draws you in from the first page." -Barbara Freethy, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "Every book is a winner! Brenda Novak doesn't just write fabulous stories, she writes keepers." -New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery "You know that feeling of anticipation you get when you're about to enjoy a delicious and uncommon treat? That's the feeling I get whenever I start a Brenda Novak book." -USA TODAY "The Secret Sister is a sweet story that touches on the trials of life and illustrates how death, loss, abuse, despair, and unexpected trials can make us stronger...This is a great book that romance readers and fans of general fiction are bound to enjoy."-Portland Book Review
