Ms. Brennan hones her skill to a fine edge with Fatal Secrets. From the first pages viewed through the eyes of a victim of human trafficking, Ms. Brennan drags us into a deep, dark world many of us don't know exists in this world.

Sonja Knight is a heroine to cheer on at every intersection of her life. Now an ICE agent, Sonja uses her insider knowledge of the human trafficking world to go after the bad guys and rescue the helpless victims of this vicious crime.

Dean Hooper is with the FBI and when his case meets Sonja's case fireworks explode. Dean is such an honorable and good man you can't help wishing these two work things out and end up together. The action in this story is non-stop and the romance is sweet and hot. Another A++ for Brennan.

I have been reading since I was 4 years old and now have a personal library of my favorites, consisting of almost 3,000 books (Heaven only knows what my children will do with them when I have gone to that big library in the sky) and I also have the Kindle 2. I have also compiled a list from Amazon's forums of the greatest mysteries other people have read. So, I don't consider myself a beginner on reading good books.
Allison Brennan is an excellent writer, usually writing trilogies. I have read all her books and am anxiously awaiting the next. I wrote her an email, asking how she comes up with such unusual plots and she was kind enough to send me a long answer. So, with all that said, I would suggest you read her books in the 3-book form as she carries some characters from one book to the next. They are stand-alone books but I would still suggest this. One thing you can readily see is how she improves with each book. However, you should be warned that her books do stand up tall in the genre of THRILLERS. The main antagonist is always scary and extremely clever. The books always have good endings. This one is no exception. All her books are good.

I always patiently await the release of a new novel by Allison Brennan. And I am never disappointed by her books. She continues to write novels that not only entertain you, but also has a way of making you care about what happens to the people involved.

This novel tackles the issue of human trafficing. Not only for the sex industry but for the illegal sales of humans for work exploitation. The characters are well written, with real issues that will be acknowledged by the reader as the pace of this novel keeps you moving fast forward to its conclusion. Once again Ms. Brennan has written another thriller that just keeps reeling you in until the final page!

I was on a cruise when someone finished this book and gave it to me. I couldn't put it down. This book held my interest like few others. Highly recommended for mystery lovers everywhere.

This was the first book I've read by Allison Brennan, and I thought it was very good. I loved the characters in it, and I love the way she writes. For me, it was one of those books that I hated to put down and couldn't wait to get back to, and I can't say that for every book I read!

I would definitely recommend this book, especially to those who have never read any of her books. You won't be disappointed!

The fast paced plot won't let you close the book till you finish it. The story is utterly true albeit is a novel so maybe you'll finish this book in two or three days tops.

When you read a book and you can't think of anything else except the book, no-matter if you are at the movies, with friends, in a party. That book deserves SIX stars.

Allison Brennan is one of the most prolific writers of our time in the mystery/romancy genre. Her books always deliver a great and varied story line. I am not sure which was her first book, but I have read them all and enjoyed every one.

I liked this book much better than the previous ones I've read by this author. This book actually made sense and was suspenseful and interesting.

It had sooooo many people in it. I got a little confused. Otherwise it was a good mystery book.

Book arrived quickly, a real steal for the money! Great reading! Thumbs up!
