'Official Review: Thorn of Secrets' by B. Truly well presents the engaging story of the book for curious readers. I like the way the reviewer explores the important points related to the story. The point that the book tells the story of Madison, her trials, and her growth is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that the book has a great amount of suspense, especially towards its end, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the way the author abused the trauma and abuse in this book is lovable!

This novel has an interesting plot, love has only been a thorn in the flesh for Madison, and how would she escape Jackson's abuse? The only way is to grab a copy of the novel to learn more. Congrats on BOTD!

The book deals with sensitive topics, so I hope that the author was able to write the story without enforcing stereotypes regarding women and sexual violence.
Congratulations to the author for BOTD!

Thorn of secrets seems to be a book that gives more emotional and deep topics in a understandable and relatable way. And I like that the book can be read as a standalone despite being the second part. I would like to know how Madison faced her fear and troubles.

"Thorn of Secrets" by B. Truly is a fictional story about Madison, her daughter Justice and her ex-boyfriend Justin. Madison is sexually assaulted and moves to Baton Rouge with her daughter. The man that sexually assaulted Madison is named Jackson and he absconded because of his upcoming trial and while Madison is wary about another attack six months later, she is kidnaped by Jackson. This is a sequel to Scorn of Thorns and it is a book I definitely want to read it. Very good review.

It’s satisfying to know that Madison got back on her feet after experiencing traumatic sexual assault. I am glad she got her own happy ending. I commend the author for doing justice with the story of Madison. Thank you for your detailed review.

Thorn of secret sounds like an engrossing tale and the book cover is captivating. I'm curious to know what Jackson plans to do after he absconded and also why Madison is scared because she thinks he will harm her. Congrats on the BOTD. Great review

Latest Review: The Artificial Intelligence Rights and Responsibilities Act” by Alton Booth

Post by Sarah Zain »

This book may be not my usual type, but it seems as the second book of the set, it full of emotions and drama.
Following Madison's life, the assault is a very delicate situation to deal with, how she will be able to do that. The relationships, and how the past can be hard.

It is too heartbreaking for me to read about such sexual abuse and kidnapping, but I still appreciate your insightful review. Although I would not personally read Thorn of Secrets by B. Truly, your review of the work was well-written and insightful. Like you, I like that Madison pressed charges and got back on her feet despite having faced such a severe obstacle. Even though it is a fictional work, I still wish well for Madison, her daughter Justice, and her other female family members in any future or upcoming novels of the Scorn of Secrets series.

This is a sequel fiction. B. Truly seems to be very good in developing this story line and it's characters and at the same time tackling some social issues like abuse. Thanks for the book download. Your review is good kindling my interest to read this sometime. Congratulations on the BOTD!
