Review of Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters


About the Book ~

They're running from their pasts into an unknown future.
But first, they'll have to survive the present.

Nurse Pecca Gallegos moved to the tiny town of Walton, Georgia, to protect her son and escape the dangerous lifestyle that once defined her. When a series of strange circumstances evolves into threats, Pecca finds herself confiding in an unlikely ally -- her stubborn patient.

Army veteran Colton Crawford is desperate to recover from the disorder that is ruining his life, and his instincts are on high alert when threats against his nurse and her son force him to take action. But Colton's involvement only ramps up the danger when he uncovers a family secret revealing that whoever is after Pecca is closer -- and more deadly -- than they realized.

Welcome back to Walton, Georgia, where everyone knows your name -- but no one knows your secret.

My Thoughts ~

Secrets are exposed in Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters! The residents of Walton, Georgia -- and her readers! -- are in for a lot of surprises!

The fictional town of Walton is so sweet and fun -- definitely one of my favorite fictional towns! Additionally, quirky characters and their camaraderie are some of my favorite parts of a story, and Silent Shadows has these elements in spades! I also love the author's writing style. The plot flows smoothly, the story reads quickly, and the clues and suspense were paced nicely. And I really LOVED that the suspense doesn't feel "too big" for the story! Even with the small town setting and the focus on Pecca and Colton's romance, the actual suspense felt like something that could happen to the average Joe.

The characters were my favorite part of this story! Through Pecca and Colton's romance, the author was able to weave many beautiful threads of truth into the story. Pecca was a woman who loves with the fierce love of God! I also love seeing Hispanic main characters! Through Colton, the author touches on difficult subjects like medication dependency, cognitive brain therapy, and movement disorders. I found these aspects of Colton's character development to not only be really enlightening but also powerfully written! The freedom Colton experiences when he finally embraces the truth that he has so much to offer the people around him is beautiful and desperately needed in this world!

Five Stars ~ Silent Shadows by Natalie Walters is a sweet conclusion to a stellar series! Silent Shadows is the third book in the author's Harbored Secrets Series; however, Silent Shadows can be read as a standalone.
