Secrets Never Die is a dark and thrilling mystery. Sam and his friends spend one night a year confessing their darkest secrets. He is a former child star who has struggled with the aftermath of his career going up in flames. Confessing secrets has always been a cathartic experience, until an ominous figure steps out from the shadows. One of their secrets has come to life and is haunting them. Sam and his friends must figure out who is blackmailing them before all of their secrets are revealed one by one…

This was my first book from Vincent Ralph but definitely not my last! I read this book so quickly, it was very hard to put down. Sam and his friends are compelling characters with skeletons in their closets. I enjoyed learning the little clues that built up to their deep secrets. Sam’s secret was a heavy burden and his friends had equally oppressive secrets that were holding them back. I really enjoyed the reveal about who was blackmailing them and why. There was a heavy focus on the action and creepy reveals, so at times I didn’t feel deeply connected to the characters. Still, this was a spooky and fast-paced thriller that I think many readers will also enjoy! 

Thank you so much to Vincent Ralph, Wednesday Books, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
