No More Secrets (No More, #3)

by Kerry Lonsdale

[Jeff Sexton]

Satisfying Conclusion. Let's be clear up front: This is absolutely one of those trilogies where you need to read the books in order to both avoid spoilers and to understand all that is going on. So go read No More Words and No More Lies before you read this book - and then be glad you bought all three of them at once, because unlike certain apparently masochistic advance reader copy readers, you had the wisdom to wait until the entire trilogy was available to read this book. Because this entire trilogy is one where you're going to want the next book *now*, and at least with this concluding chapter, all is revealed - finally - and everything comes to a satisfying conclusion for all characters. Not that I'm going to reveal what those conclusions were for anyone in this review, but Lonsdale does do a solid job of wrapping up the trilogy.

In this particular tale, we finally find out what has been motivating Lucas all along, where he ran off to and why, and yet again we also get a satisfying "solo adventure" before the siblings from the first two books intersect with the tale once again. Truly a compelling series, and truly a compelling "solo" tale here. Very well executed, with near perfect pacing throughout. With this latest trilogy complete, and with it a bit of a break from the types of tales Lonsdale was telling quite a bit before this, it will be interesting to see where Lonsdale goes from here - she has proven quite conclusively that she doesn't need the "crutch" her previous stories were almost beginning to seem like they were leaning on, and now that she has the sky is truly the limit. This book, this trilogy, and this author are all very much recommended.
