Sissy's Romance Book Review
Book Review For: The Secret by Giana Darling Note: Possible Spoiler.
'The Secret" by Giana Darling is book two in "The Evolution of Sin" Trilogy. This book continues the story of Giselle "Elle" and Sinclair "Daniel" after they both have returned from Mexico. This book picks up where the first book " The Affair" ended. So I think to get the full enjoyment of this series it would be better to read the first book too. With that said, I will say that Ms. Darling writes so well that you can make this

I was so excited to start reading this book that I got a bit disappointed due to my high expectations, though I still liked it a lot.

I don’t want to give too much away but I didn’t like a few things that Sinclair did and that bothered me all throughout the story.
The characters were so believable and real but I hated Elena. I don't know why she disliked her sister so much though I believe that she envied her but still that’s no reason to be such a bitch towards her younger sister Giselle.
