Review of Secrets (The Rune Trilogy, #1) by E.H. Demeter

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I did not and do not accept monetary compensation for reviews. These are my original thoughts and opinions.

Juliet Adams is as normal as one can get. Working as a nurse in Portland, Oregon allows her to live vicariously through the past adventures of her favorite patient, giving her hope for her future. However, when her fiancé dumps her six months before the wedding, that hope crumbles. 

Brokenhearted and in dire need of support, Juliet gives into her sister’s request and agrees to spend a week on the coast. Unable to escape the reminders of her loneliness she stumbles upon a mysteriously glowing cave and an equally mysterious man. 

This chance encounter with the magnetic Marsh Darrow sends her on a whirlwind adventure, filled with myth, legend, and creatures beyond imagination. As her idea of normal falls apart, Juliet discovers an inner courage that shows her she is more than she ever dreamed— the 
prophetic key to a war that centers around centuries-old secrets.

My Review:

4 Stars

I am always up for a good paranormal romance. Lately I have been finding books with original story ideas that have been so enthralling, Secrets is that latest book being added to that list. If you are looking for an original shifter romance, you need not look any further. 

Juliet's story is something that may have experienced throughout their own lives. She's hurt by the one she loves the most and constantly feels like she doesn't fit into the life she has carved out for herself. 

Watching Juliet's journey is endearing and quite comical at times. Her reaction to one of Marsh's many secrets actually mirrored my own. While comical, it does prove to come in handy when things get too heated. A great start to what promises to be an amazing series.
