Collect Secret (Chicago Underground, #6) Expressed By Skye Warren Shown As Softcover
is like a rocket that explodes in the sky with a myriad of colours and a deafening sound, OMG, I feel in awe of the author, I know her style, her words, but this time it's like an oniric poem that rushes through your mind and leaves it torn and cleansed at the same time.
My heart was full of pain for Shelly and Luke, The horrors they've endured, the dark love they share that can heal them as much as break them, Other times, I just thought they'd kill each other for wanting to deserve love, I was impressed by the depth of Luke's secrets and taken aback by the savage lovemaking that's a way of them both of coping with insanity.
You can't love more than Shelly does Luke,
And oh, the darkness that's always been a consort to her makes a really creepy comeback, I can't quite grasp why it all happened the way it did, but it was truly climactic, a bit rushed but mindblowing, And the secrets keep tumbling out in circles that bind all the characters,
The every ending is like a big karma closure wrapped as a gift, I addiction, some characters that help Luke as a team were interesting enough for their own story, Hello, Major! Though I'm quite curious about Philip, When will he have his own kinky happy ending o
So my epiphany in the previous book was true so happy about that!!! And some other things that seemed creepy turned out to so much more so.
I guess my favourite part of the whole story was when Shelly claimed her life back because it tied all the stories together, so simply she's mine too and those lost girls will protect the future! If I could give ten I would Skye Warren that was an epic read.
Wow wow This is the final piece in Shelly and Luke's story, It was action packed and full of twists and turns that kept the pages turning on my ereader, We learn a lot most secrets about both Shelly and Luke and the horrors that have made them the people that they are today.
Just when I thought that their pasts couldn't be any darker than what I had seen up until this point, Ms, Warren through me for a loop that shows just how dark her mind can really be,
If you like dark romances that still have a happily ever after ending, then Skye Warren is an author that I would recommend to you.
She writes very dark and gritty stories that are very erotic and passionate, This series is a serialize piece, I would recommend reading bookstogether and bookstogether, I also believe that you can read Shelly and Luke's story without having read Allie and Collin's story, I enjoyed both stories, but I feel you can read one without being lost if you haven't read the other,
Book was provided to me by the author, This review is my opinion and was not requested or provoked in anyway by the author,
Book One, ROUGH, is a FREE ebook at most major retailers at time of posting, Ok
a little disappointed I still haven't figured this whole series out, There were a lot of confusing storylines I still haven't put together, ie
Colin, Luke's childhood, Phillips story, Loved it!!
I absolutely loved Luke and Shelly's story! It was gritty and dark but when is life It really showed the struggle that Luke to redeem himself and it was painful and hard.
Shelly's life came to a peak and wow, . . that was a little painful! I am eager to hear more and now there are new characters I am eager to read their stories!!! Star Read:
It has many redeeming qualities.
The characters were likable at best neutral at worst, The writing was much better than expected, I developed an interest that withstood to the end, The plot was nice, somewhat original or had its own unique flair, The writing was good, and the pretense wasnt half bad, the romance was simmering with few exceptions, The male/female lead showed hints of abuse both verbal and/or physical or signs of spoton or forced chemistry, It was a tiny bit predictable, Overall, liked it enough, entertaining,
Skye warren is an amazing writer she just has this way of dragging you into a story and not letting you go until she said she is done with you.
Shelly is a fantastic heroine, This is the conclusion of Shelly story unless we are all lucky enough to get another installment, Shelly and Luke together are a dream team, Shelly and Luke both have past that come back to haunt them in this last book in a way that just leaves you speachless.
This book was an amazing conclusion to the series,
I'm hoping that there will be more books to come from other characters espically Phillip, I have a very odd crush on Phillip.
So please Skye Warren put me out of my misery and write Phillips story preferably with Ella,
I received an ARC for an honest review Whew, . . where do I begin This has been the most intense story I have read in a long time, I was gritting my teeth while reading it, Secret is the perfect name for this book because so many explosive secrets come to light as the story unfolds, Shelly and Luke go to the pits of hell in this book but somehow come out of it alive,
I think Shelly and Luke's love story is one I will have in my heart forever, It is bittersweet and beautiful one moment, raw and gritty the next, Definitely not a love story for the faint of heart,
Another home run for Skye Warren, She has a unique ability to take the most broken souls into the light, I love her writing, and I highly recommend this series! Just when you think you can't love the Chicago Underground Series anymore, Skye Warren writes another EPIC book that just intensifies the Series.
You think you know the characters and then "Secret" reveals just that!!! I wasn't prepared for Shelly and Luke's secrets, but oh! does it make everything come together.
Love the way this book holds you in suspense and gives it to you so hard it hits your heart and makes your head explode.
Readers need to seriously read the ENTIRE series, It will make reading Secret so worth the wait, Love Shelly and Luke! Skye Warren is amazing and proves it continuously, Some loose ends were tied, a bit openended but that's ok, While some scenes were intense, I felt that there was something missing when it comes to the writing style, I still rated this abecause of the redemption of the characters.
I guess some of the situations were downplayed, Great series. Intense suspense with lots of plot twists, The characters were intriguing. The storyline dynamicstars. I was finally able to warm up a little to Shelly, but there were moments when I was confused about what exactly was going on.
Glad they got their HEA, This is the last book on Shelly and Luke,
In this book they go through and find out why the girl was taken and why Shelly was framed for all of those murders.
Shelly and Luke finally get close and admit their feelings to each other,
They get into a bind and it looked like their life was over, but someone from Shelly's past comes into the picture and she is able to end her past to have a future.
There are some secrets about Luke's past that comes out in the open, but I am not going to reveal them you will have to read to find out what they are but very shocking I must say.
Shelly does not let it bother her, She is in love with Luke and wants a future with him,
Someone from Luke's past comes up at the end of the book and with that
he can put his past behind him and move on like Shelly.
I know this blog is a little short but there are so many things I could talk about but it would spoil the book and I really do not like to give big spoilers away.
I really hope you pic it up a read it, All I have to say is WOW, Secret blew me away. There are so many different twists that will keep you on edge, Skye Warren has captured me with her writing, you feel like you are right there with Shelly and Luke through everything,
Shelly and Luke's story was definitely not your typical love story, I'm sad to see their story end but can't wait to see what is coming next,
"I was gifted a copy for an honest review" I didn't necessarily finish this series because I loved it so much, it was more of a mild curiosity and since I already read the first two installments, I figured I may as well tackle the third one.
Besides, these short novels don't even have that many pages so I was done quite quickly,
Storywise, I can say the story wrapped up nicely, I guess we get an end we can be happy with, But that's about it. There is nothing absolutley, ground breaking amazing here that would merit an ode to the high heavens, But I do say that I love Skye Warrens writing style, She has just such a way of scribbling words down on a page that can captivate you from the beginning! An Amazing Story
I was hooked from book one to book.
This Chicago Underground series is not you typical expectations of what one thinks of underground happening, This story is very well written and I love it, This is the sixth book in the Chicago Underground series, You do need to at least read booksandbefore reading this, Bookstoare about Allie, but Shelly is in those as well,
I did start to feel the connection between Shelly and Luke in this book, more than the previous two books,
I liked Shelly's sass and how she could become protective over someone else, Sometimes she did come across as selfish, but it was an act, she did put others before herself,
There were quiet a few secrets that came out in this book, Some I kind of expected, others not so much,
It's a good series, I've read the first six book in a couple of days, they are quick reads, Best of the series with a surprisingly sick plot twist, I absolutely LOVED Secret!! I am so addicted to this series I am going to be crushed when I get to the end!!! This book took me through all kinds of emotionsanger and frustration and sadness and happiness and it even turned me on!! I'm not going to tell you what happens because I don't want to spoil this book for anyone, you need to experience it for yourself!! If you hadn't already guessed I highly recommend this book and the series so far!! I will be buying the next book in the series as soon as I finish this review!! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!! Skye is a wonderful writer with a very special gift!! Well done!!!Looks like Sweet isn't out yet so I will be waiting!! Okay so I love the first two books to Luke and Shelly's story.
. . this one not so much, there was just so much going on all at once and everything kind of got jumbled while I was reading it.
We did finally learned Luke's secret, . . thing is it was something we should have picked up from the beginning, . . and I was right in my assumption of what happened to Daisy that made me happy, We never found out what happened with Jeff which ticked me off because .
I think Shelly should have told Claire/Ella what Jade told her, . . she had a right to know and I think it may come back later to bite her in her butt that she didn't,
I still have high hopes for the next two books, . . especially Philips . I really enjoyed thesebooks it was like a fairytale in a way, Luke and Shelley's were on to different side of the law one being a cop and the other being a hooker to find out that there past were very similar they were so broken that being together pieced them back together.
I hope to see them in other books I will love to see there future because there now made me happy, Holy cow, what a climatic finish! The suspense and intrigue had me nail biting on the edge of my seat! At one point in the storyline I flipped, literally went ballistic! Was to good to put down, raw emotions, high frustrations, more twists and turns then a souped up roller coaster.
Another five star winner. Epic! THE LAST BOOK WAS GOOD, BUT NOT FUCKING AMAZING, I don't know why I feel reserved with this review, I mean the story was great especially the very very raw and in a fucked up way, very thrilling relationship between Luke and Shelly.
OUR HERO was initially painted as a good cop in my mind, the kind you can imagine a man of justice and dogooder but I am quite surprised when his past was revealed by Henri, the pimp.
In Shelly's mind he was always on a pedestal but his shady background finally made him appeared more human with flaws, no longer the crime fighting superman but a man with mistakes who is trying to find his sister whom he believes he has wronged and rues his own carelessness as a brother.
Also, the fact that he was an exgigolo atnow made him have SOMETHING in common with Shelly, and I am NOT talking about sex.
The fact that he has suffered the abuse and humiliation makes him the one who would GET what Shelly has undergone and is going through.
Their common drive to preserve who they are PRIDE,
OUR HEROINE has a rather complicated and fucked up relationship with the man she calls 'Daddy' and somehow he was the instigator who placed her on the streets.
While she is beautiful and smart, and could have chosen a good job but to help her friend, she sacrificed her body to save a child's life, for the fast money and got sucked into the lifestyle she just cannot operate on normalcy anymore.
As time passes, she becomes cynical and demands pay back for her SELFLESSNESS by turning selfish towards the men who paid for her body.
In a whacked up sense, I kind of get why the author wrote her character as such because nobody could stay an angel forever, sometimes things in life wear you down especially when you are alone and with no one to lean on, I guess Shelly became bitter/canny and eventually looks out for herself to protect herself not her body of heart.
Something about Luke calls to her and she just can't say no to him often, Pride is what is driving her now,
OVERALL it was a very intense read but somehow there was something elemental missing apart from sex but maybe that is just me.
I blame myself for not reading the first three books, maybe that's why I don't feel the full effect/impact of their bizzare relationship.
However it was still a very enjoyable three part story, .
