About this eBook

The deadliest secrets are the ones we keep from ourselves…

One year ago, seventeen-year-old Marayah Freeman nearly died in a tragic car accident that also took the life of her best friend, Hailey.

Memories of the accident plague Marayah, but no one believes they’re real. They say there was no shadowy figure on the bridge that night. No oil-black tears running down Hailey's face. No guy who appeared from a bright light in the forest.

Frustrated, Marayah locks those memories away and tries to focus on the future, but the past keeps pulling her back. A guy who looks like the stranger from the forest enrolls in her school, and her nightmares are getting worse. But when she finds a note in her locker, the mystery of the accident becomes more terrifying than ever. The note is from Hailey.

“Marayah,

If I’m dead—

it wasn’t an accident.”

The note is from Hailey. “Marayah, If I’m dead— it wasn’t an accident.” I first found Sarra Cannon when I stumbled upon the first book from the Shadow Demons Saga, Beautiful Demons as an Amazon Freebie. After that, I quickly became addicted to her paranormal/supernatural books. Currently, I am up to date with the Shadow Demons saga, Sacrifice Me and as of 3 days ago - The Spiritwalkers. I have been a member of Sarra's advanced reading team for around the last 4 or 5 books and with each and every book released I love her stories a little bit more. Deep Dark Secrets is the first in a new trilogy which is completely separate from any of her other series. The Spiritwalkers Trilogy is exactly that, a three book series about Spiritwalkers. What is a Spiritwalker? You may be asking - they are people of Native American heritage that "walk with the spirits", they have the ability to communicate with the spirits and are often seen as leaders within their tribe or family. (Source: Google) Marayah is the first character we meet in Deep Dark Secrets and there is something about the way she has been written that made me instantly like her. I wanted her to succeed with everything she was doing and I wanted to read more about her. We find out about the night of the accident and everything else that happens as a result of Marayah and her life. The book comes in somewhere around the 80000 word mark and normally I groan when I find out how many words (or pages) are in a book but I didn't check this until I had finished. It definitely didn't feel like I had read that amount of words and that would probably be the only bad thing I could say about this book - it was too short. I want to tell you so much more about this book but I can't because that would mean that there would be nothing left for you to discover for yourself. The book is released on 25th August 2017 and will be available from most eBook retailers. Advanced Reading Copy received directly from the author

Sarra Cannon has made another great series starter. Deep Dark Series is book 1 of what is supposed to be The Spiritwalker trilogy. The book starts off with the protagonist, Marayah, leaving a physical rehab hospital after a tragic accident. Marayah has some memory loss and doesn't know if what she see in her dreams is what actually happened during the wreck or if it's all in her head. Marayah tries to restart her life by going back into her Senior year of high school. After such a tragic event it is a hard transition for her. Marayah starts to realize that maybe there was other forces in the world that caused her accident. She wants to get to the bottom of it before these other forces take her too. This book has suspense and mystery. It keeps you interested until the end. Can't wait for book 2!

I received an Arc for an honest review.... OMG this book was absolutely amazing!!! Sarra really outdone herself so glad she's back writing again!! Wish I could go into detail but I can't so I'll just say that I'm ready for more of this series like ASAP you will be on the edge of your seat with anticipation. A definite must read! Keep up the amazing work we all love you and your stories. 😘
