Rennie Carter had spent her whole life running from a violent past when she arrived in the sleepy town of Haven Bay. Initially planning to stay a short while (as always), she was not prepared for the possibility of falling in love with local man Max. Life with him is so good that finally Rennie puts down some roots and allows herself to live a "normal" life for a while.
Despite her contentment Rennie is always on her guard and her instincts smell trouble when she and Max are involved in a road rage incident one evening. When Max goes missing a mere few hours later Rennie feels her old fears rushing back to grab her by the throat. Fighting her own instincts to run, she sets out to find Max but in the process realises she is not the only one with skeletons in the closet.
As is Jaye Ford's style, tension and suspense abound right from the start of Blood Secret. You cannot help but be drawn into the gripping plot, never sure which is a genuine clue or a red herring. Her characters are real to life and three dimensional and her setting a typical Australian small coastal town.
Once you start Blood Secret, the pace is frantic but it is difficult to put down. With love and betrayal as well as love, redemption and plenty of adrenaline it really is a thriller that kept me guessing right until the final pages.
