Two girls haunted by the past…and destined to relive it

In Legacy of Lies, Megan has to stay with the uptight grandmother she wants nothing to do with. She’s determined to get through the visit without any drama, but when she falls into a twisted love triangle with potentially fatal consequences, Megan may be caught up in her family’s legacy in more ways than she realizes.

In Don’t Tell, Lauren knows that by returning to the town where her mother drowned seven years ago, she’ll be reliving one of her most haunting memories. When she arrives, she is propelled into a series of mysterious events that mimic the days leading up to her mother’s death. Maybe her mother’s drowning wasn’t an accident after all…and maybe Lauren is next.

Elizabeth Chandler does a wonderful job with both of these stories.

Legacy of Lies – 5 stars Legacy of Lies was a great mystery with an enticing plot! It’s short and takes you on twists and turns so you have no clue where you’re going. I fell in love with all the characters, and when it was over I was sad because I could’ve read about the characters for many more pages! The ending leaves readers truly happy. Elizabeth Chandler’s writing keeps readers on edge the entire time.

Don’t Tell – 4 stars Don’t Tell is a book to really get your spine a’ chilling. In Don’t Tell, Elizabeth Chandler leads you on another journey through a plot with unexpected results. She really knows how to build the suspense. You meet characters like Nora and Lauren, who all have such strong qualities. All throughout Don’t Tell, you never know quite who to trust which really makes you edgy and suspicious of the true intent of characters actions.

I love how they reprinted these 2 into one novel with the new cover. I absolutely love the new cover – it’s very eye catching.

Overall I would highly recommend picking up a copy of Dark Secrets 1 if you’re looking for a short and sweet suspenseful read!

    I've read and own all the Dark Secrets books. Of course mine are the individual books with the original cover which I still love. They are really great books. Great review. I'll probably eventually re-read them all so I can post reviews.
