This book offers a thrilling journey through family dramas and hidden secrets, reminiscent of the excitement found in Madea's Family Reunion. Despite the chaos, the story beautifully portrays the bonds of family and unconventional love, making it a captivating read for fans of drama and romance. Nice review.

'As The Secrets Turn' by B. Truly is a love story about an engaged couple that faces troubles as they are about to get married. As I noticed that there were two books before this I was a bit worried, thinking I will have to read the first two before this one as 'Book Of The Day' but you can read the novel as a stand alone.

The author used made up names for characters as it is a romance fiction book. I haven't finished the book yet, but I have sampled enough to get me intrigued to read more. 'As The Secrets Turn' unleashes a lot of mystery as 'Madison' goes through troubling situations, a few days before getting married to the man she has fallen head over heels in love with, whom is her stepbrother (Justin). The young couple is in college and they have a daughter, almost three years of age.

It all starts with a simple flight to the designated place where they are about to tie the knot. Madison and her soon to be husband survived a horrific flight trip. It does not end there, from the moment they get to where they are headed, they realised that the luggage bag with the wedding dress in it is missing. The story touches a lot of past events that occurred, which are the source of whether the wedding will take place or not

I dont specifically have a genre of books, I just enjoy reading but romance is not normally my go to selection. But this book drew my attention to it from the first chapter and I am looking forward to finding out what happens in the end. It's so interesting, I would like to read book one and book two to get the origin of it all. I recommend this book to any romance novel lovers, with a 5 out of 5 rating. But no one under the ages of 16 as it does state that on the book. It contains strong language, death, disturbing events and more content that doesn't require a sensitive reader.

As book of the day for April 26, congratulations.

This book has a lot of elements that I like; family drama, romance, suspense, strange happenings, and of course, secrets. Starting a series in the middle is not for me, though. Congrats on BOTD!
