The Secrets We Keep Book Novels & Stories

As soon as her son’s excited chatter faded into background noise, old worries crashed in—Ava, still unconscious in that hospital bed; Marcus falling apart; and the woman tangled up at the center of it all, living with the ugliest secret Selena had ever uncovered. Elara Quinn. Up until now, just a name buried deep in restricted files. Keller nudged her on the way to the rental car. “You alright? What do you think?” “I know coming was right, but honestly, it feels like there are stacks of secrets waiting to explode,” Selena said, tired. “If it made sense, we wouldn’t realize how deep it goes.” Keller gave her a look—part concern, part exhaustion. He got it. Selena always let her fears simmer,

It wasn't like we could just pretend the other didn't exist. Clarissa owned the antique shop next door. She always came across as cultured and gentle, the kind of person who carried herself with quiet elegance. Surely, she wouldn't actually do anything too far with what she thought was a product, right? That was what I kept telling myself. Just endure it. As long as she didn't figure it out. "This thing feels incredibly real," Clarissa murmured. "Where did Helen even get it? I'm definitely asking her about it later. I want one, too."

It was a secret button. I pressed it gently. With a very soft click, a hidden compartment popped open at the back of the desk. Inside the dark space sat a thick, heavy book with a dark leather cover. It was a hidden ledger. My heart began to beat faster inside my chest. I took the heavy book out of the hiding place and brought it into the pale moonlight by the window. I opened the first page, my blue doe eyes narrowing as I began to read the neat, cramped handwriting. As I turned the pages, a cold wave of shock and anger rushed through my veins.

~KAHLAN AND BROOKE~ Though I felt bad for what Amy and Jason were going through, I couldn't help but to feel somewhat relieved. I don't mind keeping secrets; but ever so often I do hate holding it in. Technically it wasn't fair. This wasn't the secret I wanted to get rid of. The truth about Brooke's baby, as well as what happened with the twins mother, those were the real secrets. I didn't know how I was going to do it, or how it was all going to play out, but they both needed to go, so all the weight would be off my shoulders, and it wouldn't be killing me slowly on the inside. I quickly walked up to Brooke in the morning before classes started. She was alone, so I figured now would be a go

You shouldn't have touched that. She quickly picked up the book, holding it as if it were a dangerous creature. 'This is not for you, Ryker. It's too dangerous. It should be kept away, hidden from prying eyes.' I watched, still dazed, as she locked the book away in a hidden compartment. 'You don't understand, Ryker,' she said gravely. 'Some secrets are meant to remain hidden.' I couldn't shake off the feeling that the book had left me with. The secrets it held, the power it promised... I was consumed by thoughts of it, day and night. I became sleepless, as my mind raced with possibilities.

“When I visited him in the nursing home, said something about Oakridge Road, before he died. And I knew it was bad. So, when I saw him mentioned in the Secret Keeper’s bulletin, I thought I’d have a dig around… quite literally. Guess I wasn’t wrong, eh?” She waited in her car until they decided that they had nothing to hold her on, and then drove away, turning her music up and humming along. “Ah, Havermouth,” she said as she passed back into the town’s official grounds – a border that she was confident the werewolf pack defined as much as the city boundaries did. “When you f-k with the person that keeps your secrets, you have to expect those secrets to come out.” When she returned to the hou

This is so bothersome! Leah wore a worried face. She was left unfazed by the facts that run her mind. She stood up from her bed and caught her bag. She opened it. : I can only keep this. Leah holds her secret. [Is There A Reason Why?] : In this book, the truth and here. Leah said. She opened it again and flipped it to chapter 2. She wanted to read it again. Since it was still early and there was nothing to do.

“Fucking Christ, Nita. Don’t make me come looking for you. Stay away from the booze. And the guys. Especially the guys.” I stopped, placing a hand on my hip. “Anything else you wanna add to the do-not-do list before we walk in?” I asked, full-on annoyed. He gave me a sharp look. “This is our secret. If Mom and Dad find out, I will kill you myself. No one. Is. To. Know.” “Not even Halle?” Halle’s my best friend. I tell her everything. “Not even Halle,” he said, finally. “God, you’re so annoying,” I muttered, brushing past him as we made our way toward the front door.

The world ended in blood, screams, and the dead refusing to stay dead. Violet should have been just another survivor. Instead, the infected hesitate when they see her. They stop. They watch. And sometimes… they let her live. Violet doesn’t know why, and she’s not sure she wants the answer.
