Secrets of Two Sisters (The Secrets Series Book 3)

Fin quando non ho cercato su Internet non ho avuto davvero idea che posti come quelli descritti nella storia esistono realmente e leggerli mi ha fatto sentire come se fossi io stessa la protagonista di questa grande avventura. Non cercano di essere amati e di impressionare il lettore, ma sono semplicemente se stessi. Nel complesso, la storia si rivela molto avvincente dalla penna di una scrittrice di talento.

Ci sono stati alcuni momenti carichi di emozione; mi sono ritrovata a vivere con i personaggi i momenti felici e a condividere il loro dolore nei momenti bui. Jul 14, Meital Ben-Daniel rated it it was amazing Shelves: It has all the elements of a great bestseller! The setting of lost underwater forests was both magical and full of mystery. The three sisters who love to dive around these forests, the secrets around them and the romances kept me turning the pages with held breath.

Willow, the niece travels along her family history in order to retrace her mother's path, in search for answers to her unanswered questions. I am not going to write more in order not to spoil the suspence Beautifully-written by Tracy Buchanan. This is my first book by this author - I'm sure to be looking for more Enjoy a great summer read!

Jul 06, Ana rated it really liked it Shelves: Ever since I read her debut 'The Atlas of Us' a year and a half ago I've lived in hope she'll publish her second one soon and was pretty convinced the story will be masterfully crafted just like her debut. As you see, I was rather impressed with Ms Buchanan's writing and the way she creates her characters, who seemed to pop out of the pages making you feel, live and breathe with them.

Honestly, I don't think I will ever be disappointed in any next novel Ms Buchanan writes as she's truly mastered the writing skill and has the most vivid imagination absolutely necessary to create original plots. The story might not be new, it's a story of two generations of women, story of three sisters with their own secrets and one young woman on a quest to find out more about her mother's past.

Despite looking like a rather simple plot, and something we've already seen so many times in fiction, Ms Buchanan adds a very interesting and rather unusual story of submerged forests around which everything revolves. This is why I say that no matter how simple story Ms Buchanan chooses as a plot, she adds her original stamp and creates one very unique piece that definitely stands out. Going back and forth in time, we find out more about Willow, a young woman working as a diver, and about the three sisters one of them Willow's mother, who passed away and about the mystery behind the death of one of their family members.

Bearing in mind Ms Buchanan is a journalist, I had no doubts she'll once again create a beautiful setting and take us around the world, travelling different countries and even continents, just like she did in 'The Atlas of Us'. I was not wrong, in 'My Sister's Secret' we see loads of amazing places and loads of submerged forests I even looked online. I really had no idea places like this even exist and reading about them really felt like one big adventure. The characters were rather different and I can tell Ms Buchanan doesn't feel the need to create lovable characters.

On the contrary, they felt too real and even Charity's Willow's mum indecisiveness about the men in her life felt real and I guess it's something some women experience at a certain age. All the characters have flaws, but they're kind of perfect in their imperfections. They're not trying to be liked and they're not doing anything to impress you by having a strong character, they just are The only reason why I'm not giving it the max stars, is because sometimes the love triangle felt overwhelming and too much for me to digest.

However, it's still a beautiful story which will hold your interest till the last page. If I compare it to Ms Buchanan's debut, I can see she's stepped out of her comfort zone, adding more romance elements to this story. Overall, this was a gripping, interesting story from the pen of an amazingly talented writer.

I'm already Ms Buchanan's big fan and look forward to each of her next novels.

I just hope we won't have to wait too long for her next. Willow questions her aunt about it, but Hope refuses to answer her questions. Frustrated, Willow searches for answers and, after discovering secrets that have been buried for years, wonders if her entire life has been built on a foundation of lies.

The writing is pure perfection—the complexities of the characters are revealed with excellent timing, keeping you engaged in the story and provoking a whirlwind of emotions that linger long after you read the final sentence. All of which makes this a Book Worth Reading.

I received an advance review copy of this book via Netgalley and Bookouture in exchange for an honest review. This was a five star idea that plummeted to one star in its execution. The characters were all so shallow that they were totally unbelievable. How can anyone be madly in love with person A but forget about them the next minute because they had met person B? How does a millionaire businessman watch his beloved sister-in-law struggle in a failing business and not help her out?

How does a fully equipped, newly built cruise ship SINK because of a storm and how was the little girl, orphaned because o This was a five star idea that plummeted to one star in its execution. How does a fully equipped, newly built cruise ship SINK because of a storm and how was the little girl, orphaned because of it, left to live with an aunt who couldn't afford to make an attic room of her house safe?

Surely, she should have been a millionaire through inheritance? And a duvet cover that had lasted for twenty years without falling apart? For goodness sake, couldn't it have been made a little bit believable. As for the number of coincidences in the book- well, I don't know where to start. If the characters had been well developed the author might have got away with it; after all, most great books in literature have an element of coincidence.

The book lacked menace, suspense, excitement and even credibility. Give it a miss. Oct 19, Book-shelf Shelf rated it it was amazing. Faith, one of the sisters, was killed in a car accident one night and its Charity's the main character boyfriend who is joined for hit and run. Unfolds is a story spanning over the years of Charity and Hope's lives since the accident.

They are not only told by Charity tho, Willow, Charity's daughter is trying to find answers and she is also a main character. The time lapse is done brilliantly and the characters are amazing at telling the story. Every reader will feel the feelings the character feels and won't be able to put the book down.

As the secrets come out, the reader is most defiantly shocked and unsuspecting in every way. Totally loved this book and can't wait to get stuck in Tracy's next book!! Bei diesem Buch hat mich das Cover gleich angesprochen. Nachdem ich dann noch den Klappentext gelesen habe, war ich umso neugieriger.

Ich bin auch gleich in der Handlung drin gewesen, also der Einstieg war leicht und man kann auch gut der Geschichte folgen. Zwar gibt es ein paar langatmige Stellen in diesem Buch, aber das Wechseln von der Gegenwart in die Vergangenheit fand ich recht interessant und vorallem die Suche nach der Wahrheit. Ihre Eltern sind umgekommen, nachdem das Schiff ihres Vaters gesunken ist. Dabei findet sie die Handtasche ihrer Mutter, die sie ihr damals geschenkt hat und darin eine Halskette mit Initialen.

Ich finde die Wechslung von Gegenwart zur Vergangenheit und dadurch die wechselnde Sicht der Protagonisten sehr erfrischend und spannend. Beide Protagonisten fand ich sehr symphatisch. Sie war mir auch gleich von anfang an symphatisch. Sie hatte eigentlich einen Traum, doch ohne Geld kommt sie nicht weit. Sie war aber auch freundlich und hat ihr Herz am rechten Fleck. Hope fand ich dagegen schon etwas unsymphatisch.

Immerhin geht es um ihre Schwester und Nichte. Vielleicht liegt es auch daran, das Hope immer alleine war und niemanden an ihrer Seite hatte. Die anderen Charakter, die man im Laufe der Geschichte kennenlernt, waren eigentlich alle symphatisch. Es waren auch alle authentisch und bildlich beschrieben.

Am besten hat mir hier die bildhaft beschriebenen Ortschaften gefallen, die die Protagonisten besucht haben. Jan 21, Suze Lavender rated it it was amazing. Willow is a diver. She loves being under water. She's lost both of her parents at a young age and has been raised by her aunt Hope. She has happy memories of her parents and they loved her very much. Hope is always a bit reserved and they've grown apart over the years. When she discovers that her aunt is keeping secrets from her about her childhood and her family Willow starts to investigate her past. Charity, Willow's mother, doesn't marry her childhood sweetheart and true love Niall, but they Willow is a diver.

Charity, Willow's mother, doesn't marry her childhood sweetheart and true love Niall, but they always remain close. He is a diver as well and he's made quite a career out of it. They are both interested in submerged forests because of Charity's sister Faith. She wanted to visit all of them.

There are some things that are better left a secret and Charity doesn't tell the truth about Niall to her sister. A tragic accident eventually ends her life and Hope never wants to talk about her sister again. Will she open up so Willow can discover the truth?

My Sister's Secret is a fantastic book about sisters, diving and secrets. I love books about sisters and this is definitely a good one. There's so much mystery and I couldn't wait to find out more about both the past and the present. I didn't want to stop reading and just had to know more. This story is a real page-turner. It's fast-paced and there's a lot going on. Everything comes together very well and the ending is surprising. I love Tracy Buchanan's writing style.

She's very good at tension building and writing cliffhangers. It makes her stories both gripping and moving. I love how she writes about traveling. It's great to see different places of the world through her eyes. I wanted to pack my bags and go to each of the places she describes straight away. I found the variety of settings and the underwater forest aspect fascinating. I also really liked the alternation between past and present. There are scenes that made me hold my breath. I love it when I feel so much while I'm reading a story.

My Sister's Secret has many great aspects and everything about this story is exactly right, the timing is perfect, the plot is really good and the main characters are interesting. I think it's an amazing, thrilling read. It was all getting too farfetched for me and I'd had enough of them all. So it was all a bit too ridiculous. Of course there were apostrophe errors thrown in, that e-book staple and a couple of puzzling things I noticed.

This passage baffled me-"Dan took the bulging bag from her and smiled, following her out of the door. He threw the rubbish into it" And this too-it was mentioned that Charity went in search of Hope after getting off Dan's boat when we'd only just been told that Hope was there when the boat docked. It was all a bit scrappy. Of was used in place of on at one point too.

It wasn't without some funny little barbed asides I liked but that was about it for me. I like my reading a bit more realistic. Jul 20, Christine rated it really liked it. This was a great read, it was captivating, it was well written. I love stories that go from the past to the present or the present to the past. I see a woman who, in so many ways, is still that hurt little girl she describes in her book.

I think that her ill-timing and self-proclaimed victories as an overcomer make it really hard to not question her motives when having this book published. I think that there are still a lot of questions as I posed at the beginning of this book - particularly with all the knowledge that Elizabeth had, enough to divulge in this book It's very hard to reconcile that question in my mind while reading a book where Elizabeth wants to describe herself as a Victor.

She describes the nightmares of abuse in her life yet she overlooked repeatedly many red flags of abuse for her nieces and nephews She claims that her clarity is complete now and she wants to offer hope and healing to other women I cannot say if I think her heart and motives are pure as she claims This book, as I said, will be insightful, but in the end, I feel that it disturbingly leaves more questions than it actually answers. Each of the chapters are redundant and tell the same story.

This , along with what the author thinks is a corresponding bible verse. It seemed as if wording and verbiage was changed, yet it describes situations addressed in earlier chapters. Bad All the Way Around.

Putting aside the issues of exploitation that are clearly going on there. No one would have ever published this pile of word salad if the author hadn't been related to Louise Turpin. There are paragraphs where the author is referencing three different women by saying 'she' and 'her', making it almost impossible to tell who she's talking about. Add in that the book is standart boiler plate Fundamentalist Christianese with claims of miraculous healings that seem very unlikely while spewing out tales of sexual abuse and Jesus. Lots of scriptures that aren't even that appropriate with the action.

The thing I found the most offputting is her accusations against her mother, her sister and others with no attempts to understand the way, just a lot of blaming. See all 35 reviews.

Book kept you guessing if the criminal was actually the female lead or was she being set up. This is a perfect book for someone in their teens or early 20's who might be into light romantic adventure.

While I enjoy a good romance as much as the next person, I found this book to be a little amaturish. Maybe it's just me but I enjoy a book with a little more oomph in it. And I am not talking about sexual content or R-rated books. I just need a little more of a storyline to bite into. I've learned more about computer hacking and it's issues by reading this. The book is based in one of my favorite areas of the country, Seattle, and brought back a lot of memores of the time I lived in the pacific northwest. Loved the concept of living on a houseboat. Good family values and respectful teens.

A romance, without the sexual overtones.
