Don’t let darkness win - learn to shine.

This thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the very end. FBI Special Agent Fiona Kelly somehow survived the one who murdered her sister and others. Murders continued happening - could they possibly solve this case before more lives were lost?

If you would let the bad out, you would remember - were secrets the reason this case still held her captive 17 years later? Don’t plan to set this aside until you can once again take a deep breath! ( )

Intense, gritty crime novel. This one kept me on my toes and I could not figure out who the nursery rhyme killer was. Talk about playing mind games. The hero, Asa and heroine, Fiona are ex husband and wife but they have to work together on this latest case. Lots of danger and psychological puzzles to work out. And many, many suspects to sort through. These cases go back many years so there is much evidence to confuse the present case.
I was struck by the rawness of some scenes. I was not expecting some things to happen. I appreciated that the author showed spiritual groth in Asa and an awakening in Fiona. The Gospel was clearly spelled out. The theme of wearing masks and revealing lies was potent. Redemption and healing faith were prevelant.

Her Darkest Secrets by Jessica R. Patch is a 2022 Love Inspired Trade publication.

This was a good one!

It has been a long time since I’ve read a good romantic suspense novel. I used to gobble up this type of RS like candy back in the late 90s and early aughts, but the style changed, and I couldn’t relate to it anymore. But this book was like one was like a good episode of Criminal Minds, but with a gentle Christian message and a side order of second chance romance.

I really like this style of Romantic Suspense, which is not easy to find these days- which is why I rarely read the genre anymore. Now that I have discovered this author, though, I will definitely return for more!!

I loved this psychological thriller. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the story. I could not put this book down. I felt that Asa and Fiona were like oil and water but they also work well together. I was scared at times in this story and I was not sure who the killer was until the end. I loved the minor characters in the book. I received a copy of this book from Harlequin for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will. ( )

The best thing a suspenseful book can do to make the biggest impact on me is leave me surprised at the ending, and Her Darkest Secret by Jessica R. Patch delivered.

This psychological thriller includes a team working for the strange crimes division and a serial killer that will creep you out more than a little bit. Patch does an excellent job of creating a team of people reader will root for. This book focuses on Fiona Kelly who is the one person who has been captured by Rhyme and gotten away.

This book has lots of twists and turns as the team races to track down Rhyme before he finds his next victim. Add a little tension in there when Fiona returns to Memphis to join the investigation led by her ex-husband.

I was completely shocked by the ending. I thought I had an idea of who it was, but I definitely didn’t see the ending coming. And I will be snatching up the next book as soon as it’s available.
