Very Good

An exciting and suspenseful read. There were lots of different things happening in this story which made it very exciting and interesting, the mystery of the missing girls, the relationship between Cassie and Evan, and the secrets that Cassie's mother was keeping from her. A very enjoyable listen and excellently narrated. Looking forward to reading the next book.

Don't keep this book a secret

I really enjoyed this book. I like the complex family life that help as well as hinder Cassie's life, making for an interesting story and I liked find out more about her family's magic. The plot for the mystery kept you guessing who had kidnapped the girls and how magic was going to be involved. This book continues from were book one left off and I think the series is one you need to listen to in order just to fully understand what is happening (it is lightly covered in this book but better explained in Book one) and also because it is a great book. I am off to start book three, it is that good, normally I would have another book in between but I want to see what happens next.
Cassie is still struggling with being disowned by her family but she isn't the only one, the rest of the family is falling apart without her and when a magical family self-destructs it can be deadly. Can they come together and sort out there differences?
At the same time a distant cousin has gone missing from a summer camp with her best friend, who just happens to be related to bad boy Evan. When even Evan's powerful magic can't find them he turns to Cassie and her normal investigating skills for help. Can Evan and Cassie deny there attraction and work together to find the missing girls before they turn up dead.
I liked the narrator and found she had plenty of skill to give each character there own voice.

Secrets and lies

I loved this supernatural mystery read. A fast paced read that is a real page turner. I loved this audio the Narrator does a fantastic job. The Author has brought forth an epic read with this second book in the series. I love putting together puzzle like reads like this one and it didn't disappoint. It had me on the edge of my seat. I felt like I was watching them through my minds eye invisioning the scenes there written so well and come out fantastic in this audio. A definite must listen.

Excellent!!

This was a fantastic second book; I was wholly immersed in the story from the start right to the end. Christine Amsden has done an incredible job with the world-building, plot and characters. I really enjoyed Melissa Reizian Frank's narration; her performance was fabulous. Overall, Secrets and Lies is an exciting listen, and I highly recommend it.

Entertaining

Secrets and Lies picks up where book 1 left off. The story is action packed with family drama, personal growth pains, love interests, and paranormal mystery. I really like the characters and the storyline is interesting and entertaining. The narrator did a fantastic job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene. I received a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The story can be listened to without listening to book 1, but I recommend listening to book 1 first so that you have the full backstory.

Life just keeps getting harder for Cassie

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Cassie is dealing with the fall out of her family disowning her and has been thrown together with Evan. Even though her parents have disowned her they are still trying to dictate about her relationship with Evan even though at the start it’s platonic their constant interference pushes her closer to Evan. After Evan saves her life she owes him her life ( some magical rule) wh has makes it hard for her to deny him anything. When two teenagers disappear from a summer camp Evan and Cassie go to help and in the end both extended families have to come together to help the kidnapped teenagers but the feud causes alsorts of bad feelings. Once again the narrator really does a fabulous job and I can’t wait to start book 3 .
