Book Review: "No More Secrets" By Kerry Lonsdale

As a pure fan who idolizes Kerry Lonsdale I must say this 3rd novel of the No More series is the bomb!

There's nothing quite like running away from your pasts until those past come crawling back to you in the forms of dreams/nightmares in living color.

How do you simply ignore someone elses' plight to pain? Their own suffering? Their own past mistakes that has brought them to this point in which you find them before you?

These are the questions that must be answered and by GOD we get answers! We get truths! Hell, we get it all!

Lucas is such a colorful character. He's a guy who let his two other siblings take the fall for his transgressions in stealing.

Now, he's the one facing juvenile detention when he stumbles upon a young homeless girl on the run named Shiloh.

This relationship brings about much needed change, perception, depth of character, and morality into play.
You simply can't run forever. You must face your problems and deal with the hand God gave you.
Like it or not Lily was a runaway with an alias and a past history that she's now tending too 13 years later.
Life does go full circle - you bet it does!

Shiloh's mom meanwhile isn't quite the lady you want to invite to dinner. Don't go setting out the silverware just yet...

You see knives are best laid out where we can all see them but some of us are blind to the reality that's before us.

How could anyone have known...truly...

Can we just own up to the traumatic lives they all had and the fact that many of them are dealing with things that've been long supressed and kept hidden.

For example, Lucas has more to tell then simply being locked up. Detention ain't no place for a young boy. Things happen behind bars. Ugly, despicable things, things nobody wants to hear about that changes a boy into a man real quickly.

All of this chatter about Luca's mom and the situation she now finds herself is can be only summed up as this, "it's her own damn fault."

However, sometimes even the hard core among us have to acknowledge that things happen to good and bad individuals that can make someone become hardened for life.

Such the case here in more ways than one and yes, even for Luca's mom and or Benton's widow.
Folks, just nasty is my best terminology but when it comes right down to it the black sheep will carry on because that's how we're built. We take the hits yet, we survive.

I use the term we because at 49 yo in a toxic family I know this pain all too well as the black sheep.
We always overcome the strongest storms and ride that wave outta here.

Thank you to Kerry Lonsdale, Lake Union Publishers, NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for this honest review.

This latest work is due out in March 14 2023.
