Without further ado, I hope you give Marin a chance and read her story. Still, that is not to say that a parent/caretaker should leave their child unattended because there are messed-up people out there. However, the odds of a child being kidnapped is one in 300,000 which is relatively low. Marin is just like any other person and it’s impossible to avoid becoming entangled within her story because it can happen to anyone. You will not regret reading Little Secrets it’s raw, honest, gritty, and realistic. It’s better to go in knowing less than too much. He knows a hitman.Īnd that is all I will say about the plot here.

When she opens up to her ex-boyfriend turned best friend of 20 years about it, Sal mentions how he knows a person who could take care of it. As you probably already know, it is from Castro that Marin eventually learns of Derek’s infidelity with McKenzie, a 24-year-old grad student, which was the final straw for Marin. At the four-month mark, the FBI labeled it as an ongoing case which led Marin to seek out help from personal investigator Vanessa Castro. This is the first coherent thought Marin Machado has every morning when she wakes up.” “They say if a missing child Sebastian’s age isn’t found within twenty-four hours of his disappearance, chances are he never will be. When Miran dropped Sebastian’s hand to send a few quick texts back to her husband Derek, a man in a Santa suit swooped in and coerced Sebastian away with the reward of his favorite lollipop.

Miran Machado was doing last minute Christmas shopping with her son Sebastian at a popular, jam-packed market. A lollipop, a Santa suit, and two hundred forty seconds.” Here’s what I plan to do: the first section will be spoiler-free and I will give a warning when I head into the realm of spoilers. Luckily, Jennifer Hillier wrote Little Secrets and saved me from my reader’s block. You start losing hope after a week goes by and then your motivation begins to diminish, it’s awful. I am incredibly happy to say that this will be my first 5-star rating in about two weeks. I know, I should not base what I read off of its rating, but it works so well. Initially, what drew me in was the synopsis, but the rating, a 4.35 on Goodreads, is what truly won me over. “You know what it’s like having a child? … It’s like your heart walking out the door on two legs, vulnerable and unprotected.
