One tiny secret by Adam Kunz Book Review

ONE TINY SECRET Synopsis:

**Mature Content Warning** Recommended for 17+ due to language, violence, and sexual content.

 

Just one tiny secret has the potential to ruin everything.

 

Being the daughter of the sheriff in a small town like Holden Ridge means that eighteen-year-old Danielle “Dani” Marks’ life is under constant surveillance. She’s made a habit of staying under the radar by being a floater among social circles at school, which has kept her out of trouble—until now.

 

After a missing persons case stirs up the entire town, Dani finds herself caught right in the middle of the scandal. When she’s labeled a possible suspect, things quickly go from bad to worse. The sudden return of her old flame, Parker Reed, manages to make her whole situation even more complicated.

 

When an elusive unknown person begins to blackmail Dani by threatening to reveal her deepest secrets, Dani refuses to play along. That is, until the person’s actions take a violent turn. Holden Ridge loses its sense of quaint town security, and Dani is caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse.

 

Who can she trust when anyone around her could be a suspect?

 

One thing’s for certain though: Never underestimate the power of one tiny secret.

Adam Kunz Bio:

Adam Kunz is the A part of the mother and son author duo C.A. Kunz. Growing up, he always had a fondness for R.L. Stine’s Fear Street series. So, it was a no brainer when he decided to write his own novel that it’d be a thrilling mystery with a dash of horror, and some romance thrown in for good measure. When he’s not busy writing, Adam enjoys his job at a theme park in Orlando, Florida as a décor consultant. This job brings him face to face with all sorts of nightmarish creatures, especially when he decorates the haunted houses for the park's annual Halloween event. It’s been said by many that his addiction to Starbucks coffee will most likely be his downfall later in life.

Excerpt: 

Taking off my slippers, I slide under the covers to warm up. As I go to reach for my laptop, my phone chimes again. Unlocking the screen, I find that it’s just reminding me of the unchecked Facebook friend request. Tapping the Facebook icon, I wait for the page to load. Being on the outskirts of town really sucks for reception and Internet.

My eyes grow wide with surprise and my heart stutters as I see the picture and name of the person who sent me the request.

“Parker Reed?”

The moment that name leaves my lips, I feel a tingling sensation course throughout my entire body. The last time I saw his face was a little more than two years ago, when I was massively making out with it.

I used to be attached at the hip and utterly inseparable from his stepsister, Phoebe. Our best-friendship was rocked by my little…well, I wouldn’t call it “little”…fling with Parker. I found it really hard to keep my relationship with Parker from her, and it made some of our sleepovers quite awkward, especially when he’d text me sweet little messages before bed. When Phoebe eventually found out, I was so worried that I’d lose my best friend. We still hadn’t made up by the time Parker split for California, and it killed me not to be able to seek comfort from her since she’s someone I cared a lot about. Thankfully, Phoebe and I were able to keep our friendship intact even after what happened.

I let my phone’s screen fade to black without clickingaccept or ignore to the request, and then place it down by my side. I let out a heavy sigh as I think back to the night Parker and I first kissed. He was a senior and I was a freshman. I pretty much had a crush on him my entire post-pubescent life, and that crush was firmly cemented the moment our lips locked.

“No…you’ve got to snap out of this, Dani!” I groan. “You can’t eff things up with Phoebe again.”


Book Review

This was my first book by Adam kunz and let me just say kudos. TOUCHDOWN mr. Kunz for your debut/solo novel. As you can see I'm itching for football season lol. . Ok getting back to it....this mystery/thriller/romance left me wowed and on the edge of my couch till the very end. 

This is dani's story. Small town beauty and daughter of the sheriff. Her world is turned upside down after a Halloween party gone bad. Thank goodness her one true love/her ex that has come back in town, right? With her love life in shambles, a stalker, and murders happening all around her, could her life get any worse? Ummm seriously this is a mystery/thriller people of course it gets worse and really really good lol. 

Equipped with a lot of sass and Kickass attitude dani refuses to be a victim despite people not believing her. I loved dani's character. Seriously this booked was great. I can honestly say I was SHOCKED by who the killer was, I mean seriously how the hell did I miss that.  To all my pretty little liars fans READ THIS BOOK!  To my little sister Jamie, all the time you spent trying to get me to watch that show.. "A" has nothing on this killer... 
TRUST ME! 

Great job Mr. kunz. I can't wait to read more. 

Cheers,
Dr.Books
