The Secret on Lake George

by C.K. Bloom

Divorce attorney Avery Wilkinson swore she'd never return to Lake George. But now that her niece is missing and her sister has vanished, she has no choice, and the only person who can help is Brent Calloway—the ex-cop who broke her heart fifteen years ago.

As they desperately search for their missing loved ones, they uncover a web of lies and deception stretching back fifteen years. What begins as a frantic family search soon reveals that Lizzie's disappearance may be connected to powerful people with everything to lose if certain secrets come to light.

Every clue brings Avery and Brent closer to the truth—and to each other—stirring up unresolved feelings they've both tried to forget. But someone is watching their every move, determined to stop them at any cost.

With time running out and the danger intensifying, Avery must face the painful truth about the past she's been running from—before someone ensures there's no future for any of them.

This is an excellent fast paced story that still allows enough time spent between the characters to build strong relationships and connections that makes sense. It is easy to see how the dysfunction in families can continue even as we become adults when the people involved are still the same making the same manipulations they always have. Between the family and career manipulations and the mystery of the missing persons, by the time I got to the last page I didn’t want the book to end. Can’t wait for the next book to find out how the story ends!.

The Secret on Lake George, Book 2, is the story of Avery, an attorney who returns to Lake George after 15 years when her sister and niece disappear. She needs the assistance of Brent, an ex-cop, who broke her heart prior to her leaving the area. Their second chance romance has family manipulation, past secrets, revealed truth, suspense, danger, and plot twists.

Avery and Brent are worried and looking for Lizzie and Maddie.
They are afraid something might have happened to them. Troy is also missing. Why did everyone disappear? I received a free book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
