Secrets Like Ours

Gripping, brimming with secrets, deception, lost memories, and twists! S.T. Ashman has delivered yet again with Secrets Like Ours! Emily had a rough upbringing and many questions about the past which she cannot remember. She wants a quiet, stress-free life. When she meets Daniel Winthrop, she can’t believe that this wealthy and handsome man was expressing interest in her. But Daniel couldn’t help but notice Emily and they went on to get married. Emily has her issues, and Daniel is supportive and understanding. After all, he has some issues in his past as well. After some time, they decide to visit his family home on the cliffs. It’s breathtaking and picturesque but beneath the surface, secrets lie.

I enjoyed the setting of this book – a mansion on the cliffs in New England. I also loved how atmospheric it felt at home with the ocean, and surging ocean waves, and an impending storm! The is more than one storm brewing in this book! This book is packed full of secrets and strange occurrences. I enjoyed the mental health aspect of this book. I appreciated how the author had Emily seeking mental health treatment. I felt this was handled very well. Emily at times wasn’t sure if what she was experiencing was real or if she was hallucinating.

I enjoyed not knowing if Emily was unreliable or if Daniel and the employees at the home were unreliable. I love the who can-be-trusted trope in books. I enjoyed the tension, the mounting dread, the sense of danger, and the eerie vibe during certain sections of this book! I had no idea where this book was going, and the twists and turns kept me on my toes, and the reveals were shocking! I had a hard time putting this book and found the plot to be riveting!

I look forward to reading what S.T. Ashman writes next!
