“Reader’s Favorite” editorial review, complete and unabridged:

‘The Secret Life by Robbie Vale is a slow-burning thriller, packed with suspense and plenty of surprises along the way. The style of writing is compelling, like a spider gradually drawing its prey into its web. The more you read, the more you’ll want to read, and you’ll find it hard to put this one down. The characters are excellent, real people that you’ll easily relate to, and you’ll feel like you know them personally. Every twist and turn draws you deeper into the intrigue, with the details gradually being laid bare as the story pulls you toward the ending. The story deals with several underlying themes, including blackmail and betrayal, cleanly and compassionately, but without sugarcoating them. There is a little bad language and a few intimate scenes, but nothing that doesn’t fit the story. If you like a good suspenseful book that keeps your interest all the way through, this one is for you.’
