Review: Keeping Secret by Sierra Dean

Keeping Secret by Sierra Dean (Secret McQueen #4)

won from The Bookaholic Cat and Sierra Dean

Synopsis from Goodreads
Something old, something blue, something deadly…what else is new?

It’s a nice day for a white wedding. At least that’s what Secret McQueen is hoping for, with her poofy-princess-dress marriage to a werewolf king looming closer and closer by the day. But as ever, nothing can be that easy for a vampire/werewolf hybrid for whom someone still harbors a death wish.

Summoned to the south by her werewolf uncle, who makes no bones about the fact her mate bond with Lucas doesn’t pass muster, Secret learns her furry heritage looks more like a tangled vine than a family tree. Getting her royal uncle’s blessing hinges on finding one of the missing twigs. Even with vampire sentry Holden Chancery at her side, she manages to land up to her neck in a swamp of trouble.

As an assassin’s scope zeroes in, family dramas boil up and a fast-collapsing love square threatens to bury her alive, making it to the church on time could be the least of Secret’s problems.

Product Warnings
Contains a grumpy bride who shouldn’t be wearing wedding white, a motley crew of bridesmaids, a dangerous scenic drive in the woods and a smoking-hot trio of suitors who might be too scorching to touch.

 I seriously LOVE this series! Very easy read, so entertaining, sassy and fun!

Why? See here and here

*SPOILERS AHEAD*



Mwahahaha! Lucas, you stupid jerk, you got what you deserved! Seriously, I despise this guy, I couldn't see what Secret was seeing in him and her staying in the relationship with him was something I would call temporary insanity. Talk about two people so totally wrong for each other...

Keeping Secret is important growing-up step for the main heroine. She is reconnecting with the family at last, and hey, her uncle was awesome. He saw way more than she did and gave great advice. She deals with her werewolf heritage, finds out about her great-grandmother and her siblings and clears up where she stands with Desmond and Holden. Kind of.

Holden is the one who basks in spotlight in this book. Did anyone notice that his cheekiness is very similar to Eric Northman's? No? Yes? When attempts on Secret's life do not cease, Holden is ordered to keep and eye on her and protect her. So, when our girl goes to visit her uncle, Holden follows her.

The time Secret spends away from The Council politics searching for her sister at her uncle's request and her stint in swamps of Louisiana made me howl with laughter *pun intended*, it was sooo good!

I hope you all drop what you're reading this instance and read Secret McQueen instead! These books are a great example of fun, lighthearted urban fantasy, and they are not to be missed.

Ахаха! Опять поржала и повеселилась, читая про очередные приключения  Секрет МакКуин.

Почему мне эта серия так пришлась по душе я уже объясняла здесь и здесь, и Удержать Секрет в очередной раз меня в этом убедила.

Очень легко читаются книги, в этот раз вообще было зашибительно, так как Секрет наконец-то таки разорвала свои дурацкие отношения с поганцем Люкасом, которого я ну просто терпеть не могла на протяжении предыдущих книг.

Вообще, четвёртая книга - это серьёзный шаг в развитии характера Секрет. Она наконец-то выясняют что к чему между ней, Люкасом, Дезмондом и Хольденом, находит родственников и принимает свою ответственность по отношению к Совету Вампиров серьёзно. *гип-гип-ура*

Дядя мне её тоже очень понравился, здоровый, мудрый мужик, который постарался как только мог доказать, что о премяннице своей он заботится и что Люкас той ну совершенно не подходит.

А чего стоит поиски сводной сестры Секрет в болотах Луизины и стычка с дикими вервульфами. Секрет оказалась в своём элементе и это было прекрасно!

В общем, куча действия и драмы, книга улётная, читается очень быстро, советую!
