Romantic Suspense
Date Published: TBD - Late April 2014
Synopsis
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.

****4 Suspenseful Stars****
I really did enjoy this book from beginning to end. I
suppose if I had to pinpoint a reason or 2 why I did not give it 5 stars is
because the relationship between Carrie and Robbie just almost didn't work for
me but not just that, Robbie gave up his dream to be with Carrie and I don't
honestly feel like he should have, at least not in the way he did. I may be the
only one who feels that way though. :) There was too much "I like you...
but..." I also felt that Carrie was a bit of a baby at times. I wanted her
to be a stronger heroine.
There was a great amount or Suspense in the book though and
that is one thing I REALLY loved about it. I also did not expect the person who
"did it" to have done it! I love when an author is able to do that.
:)
I think if I had read the beginning books in the series I
could have given this book a 5 star review, even though it is not necessary to
do so. (Read in order i mean) :)
As a whole I highly recommend reading this book! A special
thank you to the author for the advanced copy!

About the Author
T.L. 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.
