Cozy up with this thrilling new romantic suspense…
Unlocking Fear is now available on all platforms!
I started reading this on the serialized app Radish Fiction, but about halfway through I had to get the e-book from iBooks so I didn’t have to wait for the next episode. Several hours of reading in the wee hours the last two days and I finished it. Already bought Unlocking Secrets (book 2). Love how she’s building the suspense which will continue throughout the series, but loved watching the love between Noah and Reese unfold. I highly recommend this series!
Reese comes to Blyth Lake to find out what happened to her cousin. Noah was in the Marines and just returned home. His father and mother purchased him a house that needs renovating. Reese is renting a house just down the road from Noah. After having seen someone in the woods put back, Reese is shaken up. Noah gets her to help him tear down a wall. They discover a body inside. While DNA tests are being done, Reese is attacked in a bathroom at the beach. Noah stays with her to keep her safe. But things start to heat up between them. Reese is supposed to go back to her teaching job in Illinois at the end of summer but as fallen for Noah. Can they find out who’s after her and what happened to her cousin? Cliffhanger. Suspense and a little steamy. Couple of grammar errors. Otherwise pretty good book,
Love the new series. The ongoing mystery is going to be awesome. The love story is steamy. The story keep me on the edge of my seat and every time I think I knew who the bad guy was I was wrong. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
4.5 Star Review Unlocking Fear by Kennedy Layne (Keyes To Love #1)
Wow Kennedy Layne is off to a flying start with Unlocking Fear, the first book in her latest series. I was riveted from the first to the last chapter as I tried to second guess what was going to happen.
After finishing his military service Noah Kendall returns to Blyth Lake to settle down. Thanks to an inheritance he knew nothing about he becomes the proud owner of a run-down property and decides to renovate it himself. Little does he know that this will be the start of a nightmare where danger will lurk around every corner.
I love the romantic suspense genre and this was an good example; well written with characters who were easy to relate too. Reese Woodward is the women who captures not only Noah’s heart but the interest of a killer. She is using her holidays to investigate and find out what happened so many years ago to her young cousin Sophia. Reese is positive that there is a link between the disappearance of Emma, a resident of Blyth Lake who went missing the year before and Sophia.
When Reese begins her search, she immediately gets the residents hackles up. She is renting the house next door to Noah for the summer and the sparks fly between them. Reese knows that it can only be a Summer fling, but despite that she is drawn to Noah and their sizzling chemistry. When Reese is attacked, Noah is determined to move in and protect her but will he be successful?
Be prepared that not all your questions will be answered in Unlocking Fear and I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
