Triplets Savannah, Samantha and Sabrina Wilde's lives changed when they were ten years old and their parents died in an apparent murder suicide. Raised by their grandfather, as soon as the girls were able to, they got away from the home that once held happy memories for them. The first one to return home is Savannah. Deciding to use the vacation time she's being forced to take to clear out the old house of her grandfather's things, Savannah isn't prepared to find out her grandfather thought her father was innocent of killing her mother and then himself. Nor is she prepared to see Zack Tanner again. The bad boy turned police chief who also happens to be the only boy who ever broke her heart.

Zach Tanner knows he broke Savannah's heart ten years ago but he's never stopped caring for her. When she comes back to town, Zach sees it as an opportunity for them to have another chance, all he has to do is convince Savannah. Zach has his hands full trying to figure out who's responsible for a rash of vandalism that's plaguing their town and threatening Zach's job, but when he discovers Savannah is planning on investigating her grandfather's claim of her father's innocence, nothing will stop him from helping her discover the truth. Zach and Savannah both have secrets from their past they need to share before their relationship can progress, but with Savannah's hunt for the truth taking a deadly turn, they might not get their second chance at happiness.

I have, admittedly, been in a bit of a reading slump the last little while. So when I reluctantly started reading Ella Grace's MIDNIGHT SECRETS in the hopes it would drag me out of the slump, I was not prepared to be sucked into a story so engrossing, I was more than willing to ignore my Caribbean vacation in order to finish reading it. From the start the mystery of how Savannah's parents were killed sucked me in. Add to it the mystery of Zach and Savannah's relationship and what happened to them the first time around and I was majorly hooked. I have not enjoyed a romantic suspense tale this much in a very, very long time. Grace does an exceptional job of creating this wonderful world full of characters that come to life, and I love that we got to follow Zach and Savannah's relationship from the adolescent start to the eventual HEA conclusion. We also don't have to wait for Savannah's sister's books to find out what really happened to the parents, which always makes for a satisfying ending. If murder, betrayal, romance and redemption are the kinds of things that you're looking for in a great story, then MIDNIGHT SECRETS is not a book you want to pass on. Ella Grace just hit my auto-buy list.
