Secrets and Shadows is a suspenseful tale fraught with romantic tension, mysteries, and the most delightful twist to the end…Meg Allison has a wonderful writing style, and the reader is quickly swept up in her characters’ lives, enjoying a complete immersion in the world she has fashioned. As the story unwound, I was continuously impressed that no scene, no character, no line was superfluous, although they never felt premeditated, instead flowing naturally with the progression of the story.

The tension in the story rises with each chapter and there are so many surprises in store to leave the reader gasping for more. Just when the reader thinks that they might be nearing a solution the plot takes another twist!...Meg Allison is a very good author and this book from her will have the reader wanting more of her novels. She is a major talent.

4.5 Flags! “Secrets and Shadows by Meg Allison is a refreshing read. I really enjoyed this story. The story has quality to it that I found very nostalgic. ...The plot and secrecy of things that occur within the story were skillfully written and quite engrossing. ... The story also has a sensual edge to it. In today’s day and time, more and more romance stories have become overly erotic with the usage of vulgar words. But Meg Allison’s love scene shines through without the use of such words and is just as equally appealing….”

This is an exciting suspense tale. Very few people are what they seem, and the author tosses in twists and turns and red herrings that will confound most readers. Bree is a wonderfully strong and sympathetic character, and Jason is mysterious and sexy. The setting is very well described and really adds to the plot. I also loved the characters Thomas and Martha, the family servants. This story has an unexpected twist at the end and will keep the reader too interested to put it down.

“Fraught with lushly written twists and turns, this story is a fantastic read. The author has created two characters with strength and vulnerabilities that endear, and the danger that lurks around every corner leaves you guessing right up to the very end. The smoldering sexual tensions that grow page by page are the crowning touch.”

“... Secrets and Shadows has it all, action, thrills and chills, suspense, and the best of all, a kick butt romance. Jason is a hero to drool over and Sabrina is a very strong independent woman that hides her feelings. Secrets and Shadows is a fabulous read and Ms. Allison is an author to watch for and the books to come….”
