The Deepest of Secrets by Kelley Armstrong

 
The plot:  Tucked away in the Yukon wilderness, Rockton is a town of secrets. People go there when they need to disappear from the real world. Some are victims, or witnesses; others are criminals. All have secrets they want to hide. So, when someone starts to reveal those secrets, the residents of Rockton begin to turn on each other. It's up to Detective Casey Duncan and her boyfriend, Sheriff Eric Dalton, to find the culprit before anyone else gets hurt. To make matters worse, the shadowy Council in charge of Rockton finally decides to shut the entire town down. Now what are they going to do?

My rating:  Five stars! I really love this series. Casey and Eric have been favorite characters since I read the first book, City of the Lost. They make such a great team, always supporting each other as they track down the bad guys. (And there have been some very interesting bad guys in this series!) All seven Rockton novels are suspenseful page-turners, with some unexpected turns and chilling twists along the way. It's best to read them in order. And if The Deepest of Secrets does end up being the last Rockton novel, I'll be very sad, but also satisfied with how Armstrong wrapped things up. But I really hope it's not the last one, because these books are just so good! If you haven't tried them yet, you should definitely check them out.

Happy Reading!

  1. I read that first book and didn't get any further. You know how it is sometimes. On the other hand I introduced my husband to them and he's now read them all. This happens a lot... ;-)

    1. I do, too. Though I'll be very sad if this one ends up being the last book.

    1. It's so good! And the last books in the series are even better than the first ones. I love when that happens. :)

  7. I still need to read this one (and the previous book). I hope it's not the end either but glad to hear the series ended well (at least for now)!

    1. The setting in this one is great...very remote, and sometimes quite forbidding. :)

  9. I really enjoyed the first in this series, and I bought the next two but have not read them yet. I need to get back to them.

    1. They're good, but the 4th, 5th and 6th books are even better! :D

  10. Hi Lark, Thank you for this review and this sounds really good particularly when I went to Amazon and read the plot for the first novel in this series. This City of the Lost sounds so fascinating. I like that it's set in Canada where Louise Penny's series is set and I didn't know that Det Casey Duncan had so such an interesting past that always intrigues me in a character. City of the Lost is going on my list!

  12. I was unhappy to see the end of the series, but I understand that it may have run its course. What next? A new series? I'm waiting!

    1. I'd still love one more book about Casey and Eric and their new life/new town. But an author's gotta do what's best for them.

    1. Well, if this one does end up being the last book in the series, you now have a lot of time to get caught up. :)
