No matter how different best friends Adelle and Connie are, one thing they’ve always had in common is their love of a little-known gothic romance novel called Moira. So when the girls are tempted by a mysterious stranger to enter the world of the book, they hardly suspect it will work. But suddenly they are in the world of Moira, living among characters they’ve obsessed about for years.
Except…all is not how they remembered it. The world has been turned upside down: The lavish balls and star-crossed love affairs are now interlaced with unspeakable horrors. The girls realize that something dark is lurking behind their foray into fiction—and they will have to rewrite their own arcs if they hope to escape this nightmare with their lives.
Enter the world of your favourite book! Who wouldn't want to do that? Uh...not the dystopians though...not the post apoc...not the murder mysteries or thrillers...maybe a nice romcom? I'm sure that would be fine...
Adelle and Connie thought the world of Moira would be amazing, all balls and upper class living, but they're horrified to discover it's not. Something has poisoned the world of the novel. Separated and struggling to survive, the girls must discover what's happened and how to fix it, or risk leaving a destroyed world behind them.
This book starts out quickly and never slows down, throwing us straight into the action. The characters are great, and can we talk about that ending? (No, we can't, because spoilers. But WOW.) I don't know if there's going to be a follow up, but I sure hope there is!
This is a great, clever, genre mixing read and I think it's going to do really well.
The Book of Living Secrets publishes on the 8th March, 2022. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
