Wicked Secrets is a creepy supernatural standalone tale by L.M. Fry perfect for those looking for an easy to read and enjoyable tale.

The last thing fifteen year old Emily Brent wants to do is move to the small town of Carrsville Oklahoma but when her dad gets a job opportunity he can’t pass up that’s exactly what they do. Though she finds herself haunted by strange visions and ghostly apparitions upon arrival in Carrsville, Emily slowly begins to warm to her new home thanks to her adoring Aunt Mille and the attention of Irish hottie Liam. Yet when the town’s eccentric benefactor Mr Frank begins to display unwanted attention towards her, the strange occurrences start to get worse and Emily must discover the truth about Carrsville before she finds herself its next victim.

Having really loved L.M. Fry’s steampunk series, The Trinity Key Trilogy I was excited to read Wicked Secrets and found it to be a sharp, mysterious and spooky read. Told through the eyes of fifteen year old Emily, Wicked Secrets blends a delightful amount of teen angst, romance, mystery and ghostly hauntings into its tale. Fry makes it clear from early on that all is not right with Carrsville, but you never know exactly what until towards the end of the tale when all is finally revealed.

Emily was a main character I found easy to follow. I didn’t care much for her life prior to moving to Carrsville and was happy to see her cut ties. L.M. Fry explores some interesting relationships between Emily and her father, Emily and her Aunt Millie and of course her romance with Liam. I enjoyed these and thought they were sweet.

Wicked Secrets straddles the line that focuses on the paranormal aspect of the story and Emily’s everyday teenage life well. It’s not until towards the end of the story that you discover exactly what is going on, but I appreciated the build-up and liked reading about the rest of Emily’s world in the interim.

Ending well and concluding the story in a manner befitting a standalone tale, Wicked Secrets is a quaint read for those who love ghostly hauntings and tales with just the perfect amount of creep factor. Sad and emotional at times, Wicked Secrets ends on a good note. As someone who enjoys her books, I'm definitely eager to see what L.M. Fry releases next!

The best thing about this book is the eerie, creepy feeling you get as Emily uncovers the secrets of her new hometown. I initially thought this would be about gossip like a CW show, but it is more like a Stephen King novel, except it is written for a younger audience. The story and writing are both very approachable, and the romance is fun and cute. While I'm certain this will appeal to teenage girls and young women, I also found it quite enjoyable and couldn't put it down, especially in the very exciting third act. Can't wait to see what this author gives us next.

***** I received this ARC for free from the author in return for an honest review *****

I had discovered this author through her steampunk series, and thought that was a phenomenal read, this was just as good!!!! It was a bit slow to get into, I'm not really interested in a lot of teenage angst, but after the first couple of chapters it sucks you for a wild ride and doesn't let you go! The ending left me gasping, totally did not see that coming! Can't wait to check out everything else by this author!

‘Wicked Secrets’ is yet another brilliant read for young adults from L. M. Fry, her tone and the language used are perfect for a slightly younger audience and she has teenage angst down to a tee.
There were some great twists and turns throughout the novel, some small ones that I saw coming and some bigger ones I definitely didn’t. Despite being aimed at readers slightly younger than me I still couldn’t put it down and read it just over a day.
