After the shocking conclusion of Temptation, I had no idea where this story would go next. It turns out Mr. Nolan's loft isn't the only place harboring secrets. The church may have the most shocking secrets of all. At the beginning of Confession, Leah is being transferred from the nunnery she's be hiding at to The Magdalene House: a place for unwed mothers to be. If finding out that her first love may also be her father seemed bad, discovering she's pregnant by him is a fate worst than hell. But despite everything, Leah still loves him and loves her unborn baby. Meanwhile Erica and her father are heartbroken at Leah's disappearance, and Erica stumbles upon more secrets in her mother's diaries. Her inner journalist wants nothing more to bring the church's dark secrets to light, but she doesn't realize just how involved she really is.

Confession is very different from Temptation. For starters, the focus is on the actual story. There is very little sex involved, but what is included is even more shocking. I don't want to give away too much, but if you think you'll be offended by priests and nuns behaving in ways that are not wholesome in any way, stay away from Confession. Erica learns about a secret society that meets below her church and uses her amateur sleuthing skills to find out more. She definitely learns more than she bargained for. A whole of secrets involving her, her parents, Leah, and her mother are revealed. One more shocking than the next.

I didn't enjoy Confession quite as much as Temptation, but I still liked it a lot. It's dark and twisted, just how I like it. There's some seriously depraved stuff happening, and there's some heartbreak at the end. I was a little disappointed in some of the things revealed, but I think they'll be necessary to move Leah and Mr. Nolan's story forward. And hopefully get them their much deserved happy ending.
