1. Deidre's Secret--Fallen Angel Reviews!


Deidre's Secret by Terry Lee Wilde


Teenager Deidre Roux has premonitions of danger and is haunted by nightmares that she won't help someone in time and that they will die and it will all be her fault. Deidre also struggles to keep her abilities a secret from everyone and that is hard to do when she goes rushing out of class to keep a teacher from choking or to stop a bully from picking on another target. When Deidre's next vision seems to be about her latest crush Mark Cumming's uncle, she will need his help and must convince him she is for real. Mark likes Deidre but he is having a hard time dealing with her "visions" and her insistence on putting herself in harms way to help other people. If Mark doesn't help Deidre, she is going to try to protect people anyway but she'll be alone, what's a guy to do?


This is a very cute and fun teen paranormal romance. Deidre is a wonderful mixed up teen with an ability that enables her to help people. Mark is the new kid in town and has his own personal family issues going on besides trying to find his place in the new school. I liked that Mark, even when he isn't sure he believes Deidre, isn't willing to let her go alone to try to stop the crime she sees in her vision especially when it involves his uncle. Deidre seems to forget personal safety when she is on a mission to save someone and she needs someone like Mark to watch her back. The mystery that Deidre and Mark stumble across and next try to prevent is dangerous and important to people they care about so they aren't about to back off, but they will need to be very careful. Of course this book also has some of the usual teen issues of who likes who, and who will ask who to the next dance, but it goes along with the development of the relationship between Deidre and Mark and fits with the story. If you want a fun, cute, entertaining yet suspenseful, teen paranormal romance, you will enjoy Deidre's Secret!Reviewed by: Stephanie B. of Fallen Angel Reviews

2. New Review for Deidre's Secret!



Buy the Print Book

BUY THE EBOOK

Deidre has a secret: she’s psychic. On her sixteenth birthday, the visions
become more powerful and deadly. She’s no longer rescuing newspapers from sprinklers or kittens from trees; she’s saving teachers from choking to death on a hot dog. Unable to control when the visions strike her, Deidre is afraid that her secret will get out. Then no boy will want to ask her to the Valentine’s dance. But worrying her mom and dad and her brother, Charlie, bothers her most of all. Her parents won’t even allow her to drive because they’re afraid that her visions will cause an accident.
One day, Mark, a new student, shows up at Deidre’s school. He seems to be interested in her, even though her visions are causing her to look like a freak. Once Mark discovers her secret and accepts it, they work together to go after a gang of robbers who are about to hit a bank in town. But Deidre worries that she might just be seeing visions of her own impending death. Haunted by the feeling that she was unable to save someone in the past, Deidre throws herself into danger’s path in order to save anyone who gets caught in the bank with the robbers, hoping that, this time, everyone will make it out alive. Deidre’s Secret is an enjoyable young adult read, with enough suspense to keep it thrilling.
Ms. Wilde brings out some of the minor insecurities teens
face while, at the same time, making her heroine brave and strong when faced with insurmountable obstacles. It took me back to my teenage years and made me feel as if I were truly there again.
Although the story matter is somewhat dark, it also has a light-hearted touch, easing the tension and keeping the tale from becoming too depressing. In fact, it reads more like a modern-day Nancy Drew mystery with a psychic flair. I can see young teen girls getting hooked on Deidre’s Secret and future stories about her. Heck, I believe that I could become hooked, too—and I’m long past my teen years. ~~Margaret Marr, Nights & Weekends
