lianareadsblog 's review for:

The Secret Within by Lucy Dawson
3.0

This is one of those times when I find it difficult to write a review. And that’s because I still have so many mixed feelings. 

It starts slowly, with the main and side characters that will show their true colours from the beginning and it’s easy to keep up with everything they do. 

Now, the second part of the book was definitely a page-turner. All the suspense is starting to build up, and there are quite a few unexpected twists along the way. 

I liked Julia and her character grew up on me over the chapters, especially since we get to read her side of the story. It’s difficult for a woman to try to make a name for herself in a men’s world, especially in one where they think nothing can touch them and the narcissistic personality is showing up with every action taken. 

But, somehow, I wasn’t really sold on me too or all men’s are bad and act accordingly, only because I work in the medical field and see this behaviour every day but while there are always bad apples in any department, I find it hard to believe that everyone is the same. 

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for my review copy.
