Cold Hard Secret - Sierra Dean

The Secret’s out, and heads will roll. Ever since her near-death experience at the hands of the villainous Dr.Kesteral, Secret McQueen hasn’t been the same. As in damaged almost beyond repair. But as usual, Secret has no time to lick her wounds.

Armed to the fangs, she and Desmond embark on a whirlwind quest for revenge that takes them to the sewers of Paris to put an end to Alexandre Peyton. Instead, it’s almost the end of them, and before she can stop him, Peyton rips the veil off her deepest secret.

The devil’s not through muddling up the details, either. An eye-opening confab with Sig in the Big Apple leaves her wondering if she’s ever been in control of her own life at all. Plus, a cryptic postcard sends her racing back to her Manitoba hometown, fearing for her grandmere.

With the Council holding the power of life and death over her head, Secret’s circle of friends is shrinking, while the pool of enemies looking for payback is widening like a pool of her own blood.


My thoughts:
This one had one of Sierra Dean's evil endings. I was reading something, turned the page and gasped, the book had ended! Now that is beyond evil, so yes it does end with a cliffhanger. And it's pretty huge and so good that I want book 8 at once. Like now...please? With sugar on top?

Secret is not her usual kick-ass self. She is still dealing with the aftermath of The Doctor and who can blame her. It was gruesome.  And she still has Peyton to deal with, her mother is still out there and not to mention who she should choose. Ok there I do know something, yes she should chose X. I love X. I am not telling you whose team I am on, anyway it's pretty obvious from previous books.

 She is running around on rooftops in Paris and then racing home to her grandmother. Things are falling into place and I do think the next book will be epic. I can't even imagine what it will be like. Again, I wish I had it now.

If you have not started this series then you really should. It's kick-ass, it's a love-mess that I love. I am not usually a fan of the oh I have many men to choose from but here it works because she is both vampire and werewolf, so that brings issues to the table. I was hooked from page 1 of book 1 and it has never let me down. I love a series that keeps on going strong, so many just die out.

Conclusion:
Did I say that I recommend this one? Oh I did? Well I tell you again, it's a good one.

  16. I'm already a couple of books behind, so I think I'm going to wait until the next book comes out before catching up (b/c cliffhanger). Can't wait to read it though ;)
