Love these Points of View for Rose, Joe, Mason, Hilary and Skeeter. Hilary’s POV…. shocking!
I always love to see how characters think not just Rose and these Novellas give us that. An added bonus to this great series.
Everything seems to get more and more intense with everyone which kept me excited with each turn of the page. As this series keeps going the suspense gets deeper and deeper and so many secrets to still be revealed. The book end with you hanging on to your seat on what will happen next.

While it seems like nothing major plot wise happens, this novella is still not be missed before reading the next installment. This is because it subtly introduces a new main character and a twist that will effect Neely Kate. This novella also gives a nice little glimpse into the minds and motivations of some of the other characters. It was really nice to read first hand what Joe, Mason, Skeeter & even Hillary were thinking.

The novellas in this series answer SO many burning questions for Rose fans. In this novella, Swank gives us the point of view of many characters, including Joe, Skeeter and Hillary. Hillary is such an evil character in the series, but this book really made me fell for her. I really understand why she is the way she is and why she made the choices she did. In her kind, she had no other choice. Readers also get to see the back story to the mysterious Skeeter. We find out how he got his start and who was behind it and how he ties in to everyone else in the story…even before Rose. If you love Rose novels, do not skip this novella! Many of your burning questions will be answered, but you will also leave with some new ones…

This is one of those books that I wrote a review and it didn’t stay so I’m going to try and give it another go. Lets first say I tipped toed very lightly into Hilary’s story. It just broke my heart to read what happened to her and how her world was so disturbed at such a young age. I still don’t like the person she has become but I feel this story lets me see what makes her the way she is. I have to remember that she is in the police profession to and wonder if or how that will all tie together in the end. Kate is a great surprise and can’t wait to see her come to life in the next few books. Mason still leaves me wondering what his journey in this story will be. Neely Kate. my heart is still heavy for her and don’t know how we are going to get through to the next book with her story. I’m so glad we have these pov’s to get the behind story and I am always looking forward to the next book

We got a lot of back story and a lot of different points of views in this novella! This novella is a must read to fully understand these characters. My heart breaks for some but the understanding I now have for them is huge. The ending of this book throws a real curve ball and is a cliff hanger! Only Thirty-Four and a Half Predicaments!

Another in the Rose Gardner series. A very entertaining set of books. Fun, exciting, heartwarming, a little sexy. Denise Grover Swank creates wonderful characters. While our heroine is solving mysteries, she is also learning the mysteries of love and life. Start with Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes and be prepared to be entertained!

OMG! I think Ripple of Secrets is my favorite novella yet! Denise gives us POV’s from Mason, Joe, Skeeter, and Hillary. Rose has to keep her promise to work with Skeeter using her visions after he saves Mason’s life. Mason also has secrets of his own, and I feel like he and Rose begin to drift apart and question their trust. Kate Simmons comes back into the picture after being away for a few years, and we get deep into Hillary’s past. She’s not a super lovable character, but wow, reading about her past and dealings with JR Simmons has me viewing her motives in a different light. Denise gives us such a deep and moving glimpse into Hillary’s story which I have to say has been the best one I’ve read so far. I also enjoyed Skeeter’s point of views, because could be considered a controversial character, but also misunderstood. I love getting into the head of these wonderful characters that I have come to love.

Oh this book! It certainly makes you see Hilary in a whole new light. Denise gives us the reasons for why Hilary does what she does. We learn the true evils of JR and how he’s manipulated people along the way. We get a look into Joe and Mason and how they interact when Rose isn’t around. It’s truly wonderful and sad.

Ripple of Secrets was an excellent between the books novella. There were so many revelations and background stories in this book. Once again, I loved getting a peek into the other character’s thoughts and backstories. I think Hilary’s backstory was important to understand why she acts the way she does. It was difficult to read because of the subject matter but it was very insightful. I liked reading Joe’s and Mason’s side of the story and their thoughts/feelings. I also enjoyed reading about Skeeter’s family background and getting a glimpse of his true thoughts about Rose. The ending was heartbreaking and I am ready to read on to discover what happens to the people in Henryetta.

Ripple of Secrets is great! I am excited about the introduction of Kate and cannot wait to see what trouble she stirs up in future books. Hilary’s story broke my heart and helped me see her in a completely different light. It was great having Skeeter’s perspective as well. I love Denise Grover Swank’s novellas they are great addition to Rose’s stories and help develop the characters and make them multidimensional.
