Not yet published
Expected 15 May 26
“Sticks and stones will break your bones, if you make me hurt you.”
Some truths are better left buried, but Jace Walker is determined to unearth the skeletons in her family’s closet. Leverage is all she needs to keep her brother alive, and she’s willing to risk everything to save him.
Even her life.
But is she willing to risk the lives of her friends?
Holly and Jordan take on the case, but what should be a simple investigation takes a deadly turn when they stumble onto a murder. Family secrets are the least of their concerns as their path intertwines with a killer intent on remaining hidden.
He doesn’t want to be found.
He doesn’t want to be known.
And anyone who threatens his anonymity dies.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Another winning story by C.C. Warrens! This is book 6 in the Holly Novels and though there is sufficient background provided in this story that it probably could be enjoyed on its own, I definitely recommend reading this series in order. Scenes from prior books are referenced, so you may get spoilers if you read out of order, but it was a good refresher for me since I did not re-read the series prior to picking this one up. (I did re-read Winter Memorial, which took about an hour and I would recommend that refresher if it's been awhile for you like it had been for me). Holly's best friend Jace hires Holly and Jordan's PI firm to find out what happened to her brother, and it puts them in the crosshairs of something bigger. When the body count starts rising, Jace, Holly and Jordan have to stay one step ahead of the killer in order to not be counted among the victims.
This novel includes all of the things that I have come to expect from a C.C. Warrens novel - stay-up-too-late page-turning suspense, witty banter, shenanigans, a faith thread that pops in naturally and is not in your face, and a mystery that I didn't foresee the ending to until the very end, great storytelling, and characters that have become friends who continue to grow and develop throughout the story. Fans who have been rooting for Holly and Jordan to become "more than friends" will be glad to see the development continue from the ending of the prior novel. It has been thrilling to see the characters of this series grow throughout the series, which is another reason I'll recommend reading this one in order. This story had an excellent ending that keeps me wanting more from the author, but no cliffhangers. This week has been an emotionally rough one, and this book was exactly what I needed to lift my spirits - a story that thoroughly pulled me in and made me laugh, and made me care. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this book! I heartily recommend to fans of suspense and romantic suspense novels. Special thanks to the author for an advance e-copy of this book. I was under no obligation to provide a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.
