Where Secrets Lie by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker Review

 

I absolutely loved Where Secrets Lie by Colleen Coble and Rick Acker, the second book in the Tupelo Grove series. Once I picked it up and started reading I didn't want to have to put it down. 

If you are going to read this book you'll want to read book one first, as there will definitely be spoilers because the story continues right after the first ends. And the first ended on quite the surprising cliffhanger. 

The story is told from three points of view, Savannah Webster who is hoping for tenure as a professor at the Tupelo Grove University that has been in her family for generations. Jess who is Savannah's sister and CFO of the university. And Hez, Savannah's newly-ex-husband, though they are working on their relationship. 

The university is struggling but Savannah is determined, with the help of those she loves, to save it. But there are dastardly things happening behind the scenes to make it so she can't save it. And there are thoughts that the artifact smuggling that was brought to light in the first book is still going on. 

Will Savannah and Hez and their friends be able to bring truth to light and save the university? I needed to know how this was all going to play out. There was a lot going on within their relationship. A relationship it appeared someone was trying to sabotage. The actual suspense wasn't too heavy, but it was there  along with a bit of mystery on who was actually behind everything going on. There was definitely action and danger and there was twisting of the truth which always gets me on edge and I can't stop reading as I want to see justice served. And I love that we get to see characters from previous series that are set in the Pelican Harbor area. 

This book, like the first, ended with a reveal cliffhanger. And I can't wait for the next book.

I received an e-copy of this book through NetGalley and was not required to write a favorable review. These are my own honest thoughts.
