Most of his scenes are with Shantel and she makes up for them. Brittany has a pretty good role as Shantel's sister and her character is kind, nurturing and sweet. It will make you miss her even more. The movie starts out a little slow slow start but be patient. The climax is excellent and has great twists.

Every Secret Thing Don't Say a Word Edit Cast Credited cast: Ryan James Patrick Stuart John Megan Lee Joy Nurse 1 Taber Cross Ellen Gilberto Martin del Campo Cop 1 Mona Leigh Sheriff's Secretary Lance Rosen As I understand it, Lisa Jackson tends to fall into the romantic suspense category. So I would imagine that some of her normal readers may be disappointed since this book is light on romance. I hope they would at least give it a shot though because it is a great read.
May 19, Teresa rated it really liked it Shelves: Although it is part of a series, I had no problems following the story even though I'd not read any of the others. The story opens with Echo Island and the discovery of a dead body posing more questions than answers. Then, we go on to meet the main character of the story, Savvy who works as a detective and is very pregnant. At times the story is disappointing when you realise scenes are just too unreal for words, ie having a baby, in a blizzard and back at work the next day and at others you're wondering how could you kill this character off.
Overall the story is excellent and if you like a good mystery you'll love this book. Be warned though, there's more coming in this series. Sep 01, Charles Gallagher rated it did not like it. Do not know why I kept listening. Unbelievable that average rating is more than three stars. I hope I remember to not ever pick up this author's books again!
Nov 29, Sabrina rated it did not like it Recommends it for: This book is a complete mess! How did it get such a high review? Or even past the editors desk to be published? It's so full of contradictions and ignores facts stated repeatedly in previous books in the series. I take back everything I said in the past about worst books I've read because this one takes the cake as worst book in the history of the world!
I would give it negative 5 stars. A short summary that should replace the blurb for this book. Middle aged woman who acts like she's 13 and thro This book is a complete mess! Middle aged woman who acts like she's 13 and throws tantrums like she's 2 has some how passed her classes and been miraculously hired as a cop who I will never call a heroine because she is dumber then a box of rocks looks into a bunch of murders while 9 months pregnant without a care in the world for the child she's carrying.
The crimes are cared out by a very sick psychotic man who only thinks about incestuous sex and murder to which we get every little detail over and over again while he either kills or masturbates in every scene he is in. It takes forever to get to the climax which is the last 4 pages with no resolution since the authors thought it would be great to have a cliffhanger ending to try and get another book out of this utter pile of shit they are trying to pass off as a story.
Something Wicked
All of this takes place in a few days and besides one day of snow the whole thing is conducted in the rain since it's the only bit of weather these authors seem to know. So the first 3 pages are the exact same as the ending of the last book. Also the fact that Mary lives on this island that anyone can get to but wait reverse that it's really hard to so no one does even though there are rumors and sightings of a crazy women living there?
Seriously no one from any social services or police go to see over 2 decades? Catherine has Earl bring Mary supplies when he can which is not often So all she can have are canned goods most of the time but supplies are meager when they get to her. No one comes to check out the house that has a dock and a well maintained garden and Mary must go out of the house sometimes, someone must see her not to mention lights in the windows at night.
But no, no one goes there but Earl when he can brave the treacherous water and rocks and stuff. When Catherine finds out Mary is dead, murdered no less, she does not think or want to call the police she and Earl just leave. They leave Mary's rotting body in her house and Catherine doesn't tell Earl anything and keeps this to herself because hey she faked Mary's death a long time ago so Cut to a heavily pregnant with her sister's baby Savannah "Savvy" Dunbar as she waits to check out a possible crime.
It's in the same neighborhood as another crime that the police are trying to solve. She is pissed off because she is ready to pop and everyone, ie. Most nine month pregnant women working in law enforcement are on desk duty by now but not her and it pisses her off that her coworkers are treating her with care and concern.

After having an encounter with a homeless man who so how mysteriously knows she is having a boy on sight she goes back to the station and meets Catherine. Catherine who is waiting in the station for a detective she knows and trusts as far as she trusts anyone. A snap decision and she invites Savvy to her fortress of a home to talk, giving her the ultimatum to be there. Savvy will go even though she knows she will be on maternity leave in a week or so and after she will go see her sister Kristina who's baby it is she's carrying because over the past few months the happy couple aren't so happy and might have changed their minds about the baby.
Seriously every relationship and couple in this book and series are miserable, angry, sad and having problems even the main female of the story! Not one good happy couple at all! Hale is Savvy's brother in law who's building company is in a bind over a bunch of houses they built on sand dunes really everyone would know it's a bad idea that are falling into the ocean because they were built on loose ground.
He married Savvy's sister while he was in a state of grief and depended on her now he's not sad and just miserable. He gave in to the baby idea and wants to fix his marriage if he can but Kristina is brushing him off and acting weird. He is torn between his wife and the baby situation and lawsuits over the falling houses which there was a murder in not to long ago.
Oh and since his wife has gone from strong independent thinking woman to a total flake he is now thinking about her sister who is like she was, but in reality is worse and no one seems to see this. Everything in this house is old and Catherine keeps the girls in even older time cloths and ways. Catherine wants to know about her sister Mary why ask an outsider is beyond reason since they grew up together and she stuck Mary on an island she couldn't leave.
She admits that she lied about how and when Mary died. Catherine starts to talk about genetics it gets technical and boring here and says that they, the women of her family, are extra special and so are the males. She won't answer Savvy's questions, denies that anything happened on the island and denies all the girls "powers" even though she just got done saying they have something special about them. The males of the family are worse because they can't control their powers and they go crazy.
But how would she know this because there weren't any males before Mary's and their cousin's boy Justice who are the age of some of the older girls in the house? That right there contradicts the other books in the series. In the other books it says there are no boys, then it says that they die as babies or little kids. The bad guy in the previous books was a one off. A few of them! And their still alive!
Catherine adopted them out and has no idea about them since no one kept or even made any paperwork for them. She won't tell Savvy how many children Mary had but says it was almost one a year. Mary's power was sexual and to allure men to her whom she had her children by Catherine seeing her sister only cared about getting fucked and popping out babies gave many away and then took Mary out to the island and stranded her there.
Catherine leaves to get something and Margret aka Maggie aka Cassandra comes down to see Savvy and uses her powers to see things others about the future and people to say Savvy is having a baby boy for her sister and that they are all in danger again from a man she can't see. Yet she does know that he is very handsome and will try to kill them all. She leaves as Catherine comes back with the knife used to kill Mary in a bag and puts it on the table and asks Savvy to run tests on it.
How she got it who knows because last we saw she left it in Mary's corpse on the island and hasn't been back. She won't answer Savvy's questions, denies that anything murder happened on the island and denies all the girls "powers" even though Savvy has just told her about Cassandra and what she said. Savvy takes the knife, says she get the lab to teat it but won't open an investigation! I would fire her. But hey she'll be on maternity leave in just a little bit so what the hay.
His power besides being handsome we aren't given a description so who knows is to be able to rape women and have them enjoy it since he stops them from saying no. All he wants to do is fuck and kill in very descriptive detail. Oh and he has the best fantasies about incest.
See a Problem?
He raped his adopted mother who killed herself after he taunted her about it, and then found Mary and wanted to fuck her. She lead him on and he would do anything to fuck her. She tried to trick him into getting her off the island which he made it to but Earl didn't see him even though he was there for a while that supposedly no one can get onto but Earl. She was going to kill him and instead he killed her and thinks that he has absorbed her sexual powers so he is stronger and can lure in any female he wants.
He masturbates like crazy anytime and anywhere including right after he has killed a woman and her boyfriend at a bar, then fleeing the scene he thinks about it and has to go fuck some woman or else. Nice bad guy and great that we get a look at all his thoughts like these! Later he feels the presents of another of the gifted women and thinks about how nice it's going to be to find this future lover and fuck them too.
For the record they would be half brother and sister but hey since he almost fucked his own mother why not a half sibling? At this point Savvy runs across and reads a book about the history of the colony. In previous books this has been alluded too but now we as readers get to see it. It details Mary and Catherine's family back to their great grandparents and the beginning of the colony.
In previous books we are lead to believe this is a big family, hence the cult status. Nope it's about one child per generation until now so it's not a cult unless you count all the men who came to fuck Mary back in the day. To help Savvy with her not investigation Catherine goes to look for any papers about the children in Mary's private journal which she kept. Nothing in it but weird bits about Mary fucking and taking men from other women and trying to take a man from Catherine, surprise! Savvy is refusing desk duty and smart advice to take it easy and keeps on looking into the murders at the bluffs and decides to go over a snowy pass right before a snow storm again against everyone's advice and her own internal concerns to interview people who might know something about the buildings the murders took place in.
Mean while her sister is going crazy and, oh, having an affair which she tries to break off and gets killed for because of course the man she was banging on the side is good time Charlie, who has gotten a peek at Savvy and thinks it would be great to fuck her too. Savvy learns of her sister's cheating but refuses to believe it.
She gets a call about her sister getting killed she's dead but they stretch that out just a bit and rushes back in the middle of the storm and in labor, which she thought she was in before she went out in the storm. She gets into a wreck on the pass after going around a road block so no one will be around to help.
She calls her brother in law instead of real help and of course he leaves his hurt wife and goes to rescue her himself. He gets to her but she has the baby in his car and it's a long while before they get to the hospital. Meanwhile Catherine has been fighting with her youngest niece who has been sneaking out of the colony.
She say's if Ravinia leaves again not to come back and she won't help her or giver her money or anything. Ravinia steals Mary's journal to try and learn the truth that her aunt won't tell her. Catherine gets hurt and Ravinia gets help only to learn one of her sisters beat her to it using a secret cell phone. While getting help Ravinia meets Rand, Earl's son who tells her he is a relative. So the history we read a few pages back is either a figment of our imaginations or they forgot they just wrote it this is not possible.
Savvy now at the hospital runs into Ravinia and Catherine and Catherine tells Savvy she'll help her when she wouldn't even help her own nieces who live with her or who came to her for help from being hunted previously. But Catherine changes her mind and will work with Rivinia to get answers and tells Savvy about Mary's affair with Hale's father and grandfather. Charlie might be Hale's relative more incest ahead. Savvy meanwhile doesn't really care about the baby only thinking of it in the background but with her sister officially dead now has the hots for her brother in law.
Savvy goes back to work the next day and bullies her way into working her sister's case but spend the rest of the book saying she isn't. Also she had no partner and goes out into the field even though she has decided to breast feed the baby who is at home. She has a pump but never uses it, she goes all day without any pain or milk spillage. I'm going to take a guess and say the authors never gave birth or have forgotten about reality if they have kids. Savvy goes to see the homeless man from beginning of book and he tells her he knows about her sister's affair and that she helped in the murder she is looking to solve.
Charile has been busy all this time killing people Savvy has talked to. Hale has been obsessing about Savvy and his grandfather who thinks he is being stalked and his mother who comes to visit. Everyone but Charlie and the colony people end up at Hale's house including the nanny who is clueless about babies and was hired because she's pretty.
Hale's mother confirms the affair's Mary had with their family and leaves, and Hale and his grandfather go back to work. Charlie tries to use his sexual powers on Savvy but it doesn't work as she has fallen in love with Hale and they almost kiss Catherine has Rivinia and Earl dig up Mary and put her where she is supposed to be in case of exhumation by the cops and the bones of the man who fathered Charlie and almost raped Catherine are missing from the gave Mary was supposed to be in.
Mary then tells Ravinia she had a baby and gave it away we are going to guess that this will be revealed later as Savvy with the way the story is going and incest rules of this book. The nanny calls and says she found a gun belonging to her sister, which is probably the murder weapon she has been looking for.
When she goes to get it all alone after having pestered her boss hourly for information and progress reports who is out interviewing people who she doesn't call now with her info she is kidnapped by Charlie. Charlie admits to his affair with her sister, the murders all of them , and that he believe's he is Hale's uncle and stalking Hale's grandfather for what is 'his by right' he is going to rape her and kill her.
At this point I am almost rooting for her death, not rape, that I could do without, she frustrates me that much. Hale is called out to see this and be murdered but he calls for help on the way, which is only answered by Savvy's 'former' but not really former partner. Charlie kills the 'former' partner, Savvy gets untied and runs for it and Hale almost gets killed by Charlie. But it's the homeless man to the rescue as he trips Charlie who falls into a fire the homeless guy sets, but manages to get away.
Meanwhile Ravinia with Catherine's blessing has gotten money, and gotten out of the coloney only to run into a 'friend' she has seen before who gives her paper's Catherine wants and leaves her. She goes into town to shop before going home and giving the papers to Catherine after almost deciding not to. They are the papers about all of Mary's sons and some missing pages from Mary's journal.
No idea how he got them but what they hey we don't need to know since there might be another book for this. WTF didn't you just spend the whole book and if not that at least one whole chapter telling us that all the males were driven mad with power and would try to kill them all after previous books said that there were NO boys? Charlie is being taken care of by the nanny who was working for him the whole time planning to get revenge. Ravinia is busy walking to California and is being followed by a wolf who helps her scare away two men how want to pick her up.
WTF is with the wolf?
Who knows but it's the last paragraph so we may get to know in the next book if you care to read it between clawing your eyes out, pulling your hair out in chunks and throwing the book across the room in frustration. Again I ask how this book was ever published. If there is another book count me out of reading it. I have no idea how I got this far since each book was worse the the last. It's like a train wreck you just can't stop staring at or look away from. If there is another book the authors should consult notes or reread the previous books, hire two editors and have numerous proof readers get a crack at it before it even glances at a printer.
Jun 03, Sheila Lewis rated it did not like it. I really wanted to like this book. The storyline was intriguing. I found stretches of it to be boring.
The authors used a few repetitive phrases. Jun 17, Stacey rated it really liked it Shelves: Unless you like missing MOST of the story there's only one way to get the full impact of this one. However, I promise yours will be a richer, fuller experience if you read Blind Spot first because most all the major characters are introduced there and you'll underst Unless you like missing MOST of the story there's only one way to get the full impact of this one.
However, I promise yours will be a richer, fuller experience if you read Blind Spot first because most all the major characters are introduced there and you'll understand them better if you do. I am really digging Lisa Jackson. The only work by both women in which I'm interested is in the romantic suspense genre because one without the other is just boring. However, while Jackson is a master suspense storyteller, I believe Bush more believably blends the two, and her love stories are so beautifully written they far surpass what is typically done by anyone in this genre.
Her writing is simply beautiful, the way she gets into the hearts of her characters with such distinctive prose. When both women write on their own, their styles are quite opposed. And the suspense angle in this long story reflects that. And as far as the suspense goes, there are a lot of holes. The first, is the ssssiliesssst bad guy ever written. The second is actually an IDTV-type true crime believable sociopath. The most glaring being the way the two brothers who first discovered the bones in Wicked Game were brought back way at the end, for the big show-down at the lighthouse
