The Secrets Don't Stop. I'll be honest. The opening of this book is sad. The entire premise is that a man's partner and mother of his son dies, and we get that in the first 10% of the book with McKinnon doing possibly too good a job of conveying the emotions of both guys. So it is difficult to get through (not helped by the apparent fact that my brain needed a bit of a break from reading for a bit, honestly). But once I got through that... I read the remaining 88% of the book within 12 hrs. Yes, after that sequence the rest of the plot shapes up, and as good as McKinnon was at conveying the devastation initially, she is equally adept at keeping the plot moving along with secrets unravelling into more secrets that unravel into more secrets. Everything is eventually revealed... but there are still secrets being kept through the very last page... Excellent work from a new-t0-me author, one I'm very much looking forward to future work from.
