Review: The Secrets in Silence - Nicole Trope

The Secrets in Silence: 8/10

Tara has lost her voice. She knows there was pain and fear but she cannot remember anything else. Now she can only answer the questions with silence.

Minnie has buried her voice for years, losing herself in silence and isolation, keeping her secrets safe and her broken heart concealed.

Liam finds refuge in silence; it is a place to go to when he cannot get the words out.

Kate cannot speak for herself just yet.

People are only separated from each other by moments, by fate and coincidence.

One teenage mistake, one shocking choice and one terrible night will lead to courage found, voices raised and the truth finally spoken.

I was lucky enough to receive this book as an ARC. It's totally the kind of book I would normally read and I certainly wasn't disappointed. The plot flowed smoothly and the characters held a lot of credibility. The plot flowed smoothly and the characters held a lot of credibility. Personally, my favourite character was the young girl Tara who finds herself physically unable to speak after a traumatic ordeal. I felt that the character was so well written as there were many points in the novel where I felt sympathy for her, despite not knowing the full extent of what had happened to her.

Sadly, I thought that the ending was rushed and that with another twenty pages or so this could be remedied. However, all in all it was a fantastic read so if you seen this on the shelves I really recommend picking it up for your summer holidays.
