Secrets is the second book in the Geneva Project Series. I would recommend
reading Truth the first book before
starting this one. You can find my review of Truth HERE.
Secrets continues on from where Truth
leaves off. In this book we get insights into those that are looking for the
Eva and the Book of Secrets, though we don’t really know who they are. We do
get the sense they are not very friendly toward her though.
At this point in the
story Geneva has made it into the forest and found the Beto people who are much
more populous than anyone at the Troian Center had thought. She learns much
from the people there and from the Book of Secrets.
Everyone has secrets
it seems. Some of the secrets will hurt others. Some of the secrets she needs
to discover if she is to fulfill her mission as Eva. Some of them are dark and
mysterious and very dangerous. The trouble is, she doesn’t know who she can
trust. She’s been told to trust her sister Jemma, previously known as Jane 31,
who’d made life miserable for her and Remi at the Troian Center, but she’s
having a hard time of it since Jemma seems to be making a play for Nova, the
young man she thinks she might be falling in love with.
Above all, they have
a mission to complete. They need to find the four pillars: fire, wind water and
earth. Eva knows who two of the pillars are, but she and her friends are going back
to look for them at the Troian Center because the clues from the Book of
Secrets is leading them there.
The road to the
Troian Centre is hazardous. There are many encounters along the way, some good,
some bad. I really enjoyed the fantasy part of this tale and the description of
the journey.
The depth of
character development also continued in this book as well, particularly between
the sisters Jemma and Geneva, as they got to know one another better. Knowing
your sister better doesn’t necessarily mean loving her better however.
Geneva’s angst due
to her friendship with Remi and her growing love for Nova is painful,
especially as she battles with running away, giving them up because of her task
as the Eva or choosing one of them. If you’ve ever been in any kind of similar
experience, you’ll feel her pain too.
Secrets was a fast-paced novel that was difficult to put down. Beware though –
there was a cliff-hanger ending so you’ll have to wait for Christina to finish
writing book 3 before you can read it. I rated Secrets 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
author for providing a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest
review. A positive opinion was not required. All thoughts are my own.
