REVIEW:THE SECRETS WE HELD is the first instalment in E.K. Blair’s contemporary, new adult SECRETS AND TRUTHS dark duet focusing on Kate Murphy, Caleb Bradford and Trent. The Secrets and Truths duet is a spin-off from the author’s CRAVE duet, and the timeline overlaps with some of the events in the aforementioned series.

WARNING: THE SECRETS WE HELD may not be suitable for more sensitive readers due to the numerous triggers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Kate and Trent) THE SECRETS WE HELD follows the friendships and relationships of university of Miami college student Kate Murphy. Kate is an amazing surfer but an accident, years before, has left Kate struggling with debilitating migraines and waves of dizziness. Meeting Chicago native and college sophomore Caleb Bradford finds Kate slowly pulling back from her friends and family, as well as the sport she has loved most of her life. As the months pass, and Kate all but disappears from the lives of the friends she once loved, said friends become suspicious when Kate no longer behaves like herself.

We are introduced to Trent’s friends Micah, and Kate’s roommate Ady, as well as Caleb’s parents Rose and Conrad Bradford, and Kate’s father Steven , her mother, and her sister Audrina.

THE SECRETS WE HELD is an emotional, heart breaking, frustrating, raw and dramatic story line; a tragic story of power, control and violence; of first love, secrets, lies and the truth. THE SECRETS WE HELD focuses on a once strong and independent young woman whose circumstance and life changed when she met the man with whom she claimed to fall in love.

E.K. Blair, takes her readers on an emotional roller coaster with her dynamic and intense writing style. Noted for her ability to create fleshed-out characters that will evoke a realm of reactions, you can be assured that her stories will linger with you far beyond the last word.

A former first grade teacher with an imagination that runs wild. Daydreaming and zoning out is how she was often found in high school. Blair tends to drift towards everything dark and moody. Give her a character and she will take pleasure in breaking them down, digging into their core to find what lies underneath.

Aside from writing, E.K. Blair finds pleasure in music, drinking her Starbucks in peace, and spending time with her friends. She’s a thinker, an artist, a wife, a mom, and everything in between.
