GRAVE CHRISTMAS SECRETS by Sharee Stover, Reviewed by Nicole Cook and Paula Shreckhise

NICOLE'S REVIEW:
“Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead. Forensic anthropologist Taya McGill disagreed with Benjamin Franklin’s famous quote. In her experience, the dead were horrible secret keepers.”
 
Get ready for the start to the holiday season! Author Sharee Stover’s latest Love Inspired Suspense novel, Grave Christmas Secrets, takes readers on a whirlwind ride filled with unexpected twists and turns. Right before Christmas, forensic anthropologist Taya McGill discovers a buried body and must depend on undercover ATF agent Keegan Stryker to keep them both safe from the killer.
 
As in her previous books, Sharee Stover shocked me with who the culprit was. I did not see it coming! The epilogue was the perfect ending to the story, and I am so glad that she included it. Once I started reading, I could not put this book down! Along with the wonderful romantic suspense tale, the author also shares the message that God is always with us. Grave Christmas Secrets is recommended for fans of inspirational romantic suspense.

PAULA'S REVIEW
“A chill slithered down his neck. He rushed to the foyer and his foot collided with something soft, tripping him. Keegan stumbled into the wall to keep from falling, then turned and inspected the large form.”

It is days before Christmas and cold in Nebraska. Taya McGill is a forensic anthropologist working on remains found in Ashfall Fossil State Park. Only these remains are not ancient and someone is after her. Armed with her wits and prayer, Taya does not know who to trust. Even Keegan Stryker, who says he is undercover law enforcement.

This story has a unique and interesting plot that keeps you on your toes and guessing. I read it waaaaay into the night. The romance was quick but cautious and believable. The faith element was evident in the lives of the protagonists. A plus for me was the abandoned school with an outside tubular fire escape, very much like my first grade school. Cool stuff!

If you want an exciting story that has plenty of action do not miss Grave Christmas Secrets.
