Description

Inspired by true events.

Do secrets die with us?

On an abandoned estate lies a sinister secret that artist Kevan Renee must never uncover. She's spent her life burying her traumatic past, vowing that she'll never look back.

Nathan Hill is tormented by the disappearance of his little sister for over two decades.

When Kevan's beloved Gammie dies, she inherits the long-forgotten property and receives a key to her haunting past. She is soon drawn back to this place and quickly discovers that she and Gammie had been there often during her childhood. At first, the memories awakened by her return appear innocent and nostalgic, but quickly shifts to restless nights and chilling nightmares. These enigmatic themes are rooted in her artwork. Among the haunting visions, one figure stands out—a lone little girl standing beside a still pond.

TW: Many scenes in this novel are recounts of true events and contains abuse.

This story kept me guessing all the way to the end. Once I thought I had figured it out, I was wrong. Several components of the story tugged at my heart and made me feel many different emotions. I love when I can get lost in a book and I got lost in this one! The story and twists were so clever. I started this book yesterday and finished today. If you want a book that you can’t put down, this is one of them!

I read a lot and this was such a phenomenal story. I literally couldn’t stop and finished it in one sitting. It’s tragic and heart wrenching and yet you must read on. It’s also loving and touching too. It’s a story of struggle and hurt but also seeing that good can still come from broken pieces if you put them back together. Brilliantly written! I will be looking into what else this author has written!

"Where Secrets Stay" by CherAnn Wright is an absolute page-turner that captivated me from the very first chapter. This was the first book I've read by this author, and I am already eagerly looking forward to exploring more of her work. Wright masterfully intertwines suspense, mystery, and deep emotional undertones, creating a story that is as haunting as it is compelling.

Inspired by true events, the novel follows Kevan Renee, an artist haunted by her traumatic past, as she inherits a forgotten estate with a dark secret. Wright's writing brings the eerie atmosphere of the abandoned estate to life, with every detail painting a vivid picture of a place that holds far more than just memories. The way she portrays Kevan's gradual unraveling of the past is both chilling and deeply moving, keeping the reader on edge with each new revelation.

Nathan Hill's subplot, centered on the decades-long disappearance of his sister, adds another layer of mystery and emotional depth to the story. Wright skillfully weaves together these two narratives, leading to a climax that is as satisfying as it is surprising.

The themes of buried secrets, childhood trauma, and the quest for truth are explored with sensitivity and insight, making "Where Secrets Stay" not just a thrilling read but also a profound exploration of the human psyche.

If you're a fan of suspenseful, emotionally charged mysteries, this book is a must-read. CherAnn Wright has proven herself to be a talented storyteller, and I can't wait to see what she has in store next. Highly recommended!

Thank you @netgalley and @cherannwright for the ARC!

What a wow book!! This one kept me guessing and took me by surprise! If you like a good thriller that will keep you on your toes this is most definitely worth reading! I thought maybe I had it figured out and then came another twist. You really get into the characters of this book. It did take me a few chapters to actually get hooked but once I did it did not disappoint.
