My favourite heroine is back at it and is once again biting off more than she can chew. To my delight she handles it all in true Secret McQueen fashion; by running her mouth and delivering some of the best one-liners of her Urban Fantasy career. There's no shortage of action or romance in this book and more wow moments than I care to count.Even after everything the werewolf king has done to her, Secret still has trouble refusing Lucas. What starts out as a simple search for a missing socialite quickly morphs into a fiasco of epic proportions. Secret's biggest wish has unexpectedly come true but unfortunately for her she can't even enjoy it thanks to the slew of baddies who are trying to rain on her parade. McQueen finds herself forced to rely on her men-du-jour for protection instead of her sword and needless to say, the role of victim does not suit her.I loved Secret in this installment because for the first time in a long time she's vulnerable. It was refreshing to see the big bad werewolf queen / vampire council leader / assassin sweat a little. Of course, instead of going into hiding because of her weakened state, McQueen's backup defense is laying her trademark sarcasm on extra thick. I adore Sierra Dean's sense of humour and Grave Secret is milk-out-your-nose funny.Move over Lucas Rain and h-e-l-l-o Holden! Just when I thought nothing could sway me from team Desmond, the vampire steps up to the plate and takes a swing. Both men have so many amazing moments in this book that I now find myself loving them equally. I don't envy the choice that Secret has to make; if it were up to me, I'd keep them both! She is a hybrid after all, so it makes sense that she needs a werewolf AND a vampire lover, right? I'm just saying.Grave Secret will make you swoon, cry, rage, laugh and finally leave you with a big "oh s***" at the end.
