Book Overview
A thrilling domestic drama set against the power of the wilderness, Rea Frey's Secrets of Our House is a deeply-felt novel of long-held secrets and the strength of family.
Desi is the mastermind behind her dream getaway house. Nestled high into the mountains of North Carolina, it is a sleek place, a luxurious place, a dark place. A place full of secrets. Secrets about the man she longs for, a man who is not her husband. Secrets about the roots of her family that must never, ever, see the light of day. When Desi and her family arrive from Chicago to spend the summer in the mountains, the seeds for the tumultuous months to follow are planted--her marriage on the rocks, not knowing which way they'll go. Her seventeen year-old daughter Jules, falling in love for the first time with a local boy--and forging a new path that will take her to uncharted places. And Carter--a man Desi knew long ago, before she expunged him from her life for good. All hurtling toward events none of them can undo. Engaging, propulsive, and with a dramatic, heart-pounding final act, Secrets of Our House is a dazzling novel, richly-drawn, that shows no matter how hard outside forces may shake you, the bonds of family are stronger than the harshest winds.Format:Mass Market Paperback

Family Drama Fiction
Published by TinaLovesToRead , 3 years ago
This is a Family Drama Fiction/Suspense. I cannot figure out why this is said to be a mystery because I do not think there is anything mystery in this book. The end of this book as a good amount of action and suspense. The best way I can sum up this book is that it is a book about when a Mother's secrets and actions comes to bite her in the butt. Desi (the Mother) in this book is not the most likable character. Her character tries to make everyone do want she wants, but her biggest secrets is she make a big mistake when she was really young which she never as moved on from. I really enjoyed this book, and I think it was while written. The secret the Mother has been keeping unfolded slowly, so it keeps you guessing a little. There was some things put into the book like the bear attack that I did not think it needed to be there. I feel it was put in just to add more drama/action which was not needed. Overall, If you enjoy Family Drama Fiction that I really think you will enjoy this book. I received an ARC of this book. This review is my own honest opinion about the book like all my reviews are.
