Description
"Dark, twisted and packed full of suspense, with a protagonist you'll root for and creepy villains you'll love to hate, The Perfect Secret is a diabolical, masterfully told tale. Steena Holmes certainly knows how to grip her readers from the very beginning, and keeps them guessing until the satisfying end. I loved every page and this book isn't to be missed." ~ Hannah Mary McKinnon, bestselling author of Sister Dear "Steena Holmes is quickly becoming the queen of dark and creepy villains, and the one in The Perfect Secret is definitely not who you expect. A dark and twisty story filled with secrets--not all of them perfect--and one whopper of a surprise. Say goodbye to sleep and read it like I did, in one sitting. A story where nothing is as it seems." ~ Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of Dear Wife & Stranger in the Lake
