Romantic Suspense
Date Published: TBD - Late April 2014
When all the lies that have been hidden come to light, nothing will be the
same.
From the time she came to live with her uncle Ron after the tragic deaths
of her parents when she was a young girl, Carrie Greer never had reason to
doubt she was wanted. Now a dispatcher with the county, she’s a grown
woman building a life of her own. But after a trip to Florida, her uncle’s
attitude changes… and not for the better. While struggling to come to
terms with this shift in their relationship and all the collateral damage
it causes, another tragedy strikes. Ron Smith is murdered. And the only
person with an obvious reason to want him dead… is Carrie.
Robbie Bailey is finally free to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a
teacher. But instead of attending classes, he ends up having to return to
Leroy and to Carrie, the girl he’s been in love with since he was a
teenager. He finds himself in the position of having to convince her of
the depth of his feelings while protecting her from a vengeful killer bent
on keeping long-buried secrets hidden. And he isn’t sure he can succeed at
either task.
Deception in the Shadows is the sixth installment in the Shadows/Leroy’s
Sins Collection, a series of Romantic Suspense novels by author T. L.
Haddix. Other titles include Secrets in the Shadows, Under the Moon’s
Shadow, Shadows from the Grave, Hidden in the Shadows, and In the Heart’s
Shadow.

REVIEW BY TABITHA:
I really enjoyed this book, but coming in and having not read the previous ones had me feeling like I was missing something. I know they are standalones, however I do think they should be read in order to really be able to rate this a full 5 stars. I loved all the characters and Carrie and Robbie are definitely a great pair. I love them and their relationship together. I also really loved all their friends and family. This book has the perfect balance of romance and suspense. Definitely love the writing style and how I felt very connected with the story. I will be going to buy the others right now! I would have rated it a full 5 stars if I had read the previous books, but because I hadn't, I give this book 4.5 AMAZEBALLS stars!!
I received a gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

Haddix was born in Hazard, Kentucky, a small town in the center of the
Appalachian coal fields. Taught to read by her grandmother, T.L. has had
a life-long love affair with books, devouring whatever she could get
her hands on. From childhood favorites such as the Trixie Belden series
and Laura Ingalls Wilder’s “Little House” books, to her current
favorites from authors like Tami Hoag, Alex Kava, J.A. Jance and Lisa
Kleypas (among many others), T.L. still finds refuge in the written
word.
“Growing
up, I wanted to be everything – astronaut, police officer, doctor,
teacher, reporter, psychologist – there was no clear choice for me. I
wanted to do it all. Becoming a writer has allowed me to do just that,
because I can live vicariously through my characters.”
A
resident of eastern Kentucky, T.L. is hard at work on her next book,
when she isn’t chasing after her three cat-children with her husband.
