The author is my half-sister. I had no idea she had written a book based loosely on our childhood until recently, when she tentatively told me she had taken events from our childhood and woven them into a fictitious mystery/romance. I have always been a discriminating reader..the classics etc...so I was afraid to start her book for fear she would be a so-so writer and that I would have to fake liking it. I was thrilled to find out from the opening paragraph that Kelly is a true wordsmith. I became so engrossed in the story that I would momentarily forget some of it was based on our life as children until I stopped breathing and doubled over in tears. Her experience as a counselor shines through the insights she gives about Claire's coping mechanisms (bulimia and cutting). It is the type of story that can entertain on a day at the beach or serve as a therapeutic tool in a counseling setting. If you like a hard to put down story with an ending that makes you gasp, look no further than Grave Secret by Kelly Stone.

This is a really good read - hard to put down. It is amazing that this is the author's first published book. The characters are well developed and the plot is intriguing. Lots of surprises and it gets nicely wrapped up at the end. I definately recommend picking this one up!

All you need is a lazy day, comfortable clothes and a cup of coffee to spend the day reading Grave Secret - you will not want to put it down until you're finished. This is a gripping story with many twists and turns - it really keeps you on your toes. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a great story line, excitement and drama.

This book will grab you from the first sentence, and it will not let you go until you finish it. A really suspenseful masterpiece. The structure of the book itself is complicated, and the fact that the author pulled it off so amazingly when it is just her first novel is a tribute to her tremendous writing skills. The writing is very descriptive, drawing you into the scenes as if you are there. You will find much to relate to and reflect on in this story. I look forward to all of Kelly L. Stone's future books!!

I read this book within 2 days of picking it up. I didn't want to put it down. The characters drew me in -- I could feel Claire's love, confusion, hurt, and pain. The story line will keep you guessing until the end.

I rarely read a novel but I had this book and wanted to do something to keep my mind off work so I started it Friday night. I could not put the book down until I finished it! Only a few characters and easy to keep up with, every single chapter had my attention. Something going on from the first page to the very last! Hard to believe this book is fiction!

Give yourself a treat and read Kelly Stone's novel. It's a tightly woven tapestry of self-realization. Stone gives her reader smoldering passion, a mystery, and, the universal pursuit of fulfillment, which, in the end, dwells within our own capacity to turn toward the light. You have to read this book!

Grave Secret WOW!! What an amazing novel. I am a very picky reader, and get bored easily, but Grave Secret grabbed my undivided attention, literally from the first sentence. I did not want to put it down. The author shows incredible talent, and surprisingly, this is her first novel. Amazing psychological depth to the characters and a plot that just kept getting better and better. You couldn't guess the ending if you tried!! Definitely a "Must Read" if you want a great one!! I just hope there is a sequel, or another novel by Ms. Stone on the way.
