Synopsis
Emma Blackwood was the epitome of ordinary. She lived in a small town, where she excelled in school and loved to hang out with her friends. Wanting to escape from her ordinary life, she headed to college in the city. But as soon as college life was over, she found herself back to the same old routine. Normal.
After a night on the town with her best friend, Kyle, Emma meets a mysterious man. One small touch of his hand made her feel things that she’s never experienced before. That moment changed everything for Emma. ‘Normal’ was never going to be a word to describe her ever again.
Micah Oliver didn’t grow up in a normal world. His mother, a witch, had passed on her powers to him. He had a gift, one that could sense when others, like him, were near. Finding Emma was supposed to be a blessing for him, someone that would understand his way of life. Or was it?
Emma doesn’t know her past, or her future and Micah has the answers, but there is one problem.
He has a Dark Secret….

Review
"Dark Secret" definitely was an interesting book- in a good way. It follows Emma, or Em, a few months after a bad breakup and a typical post college graduate trying to survive. She definitely is laid back when it comes to her best friend and roommate, Kyle, and they are very much established in their typical routines. They did try dating but felt it was too weird and felt like they were more family than anything. Even when Emma starts experiencing strange new bodily functions (haha), Kyle stands by her side and supports her.
Then comes along Micah.... Tall, dark and handsome. Except, Micah now gets the new and "improved" Emma, even though she doesn't get herself. The attraction between them is undeniable. It seems ludicrous that each time they're around each other they're pawing at each other but then begins to make more sense.
Of course, there is always a catch to the story, lol. Micah has his dark secrets too. Emma's is her power but she has to learn Micah's, especially the more intense their relationship gets. The stranger part of the story is tied to the long lost father she's never known. Oh yea, and then throw in the good looking friend of Kyle's, Damon, who hits it off really with Emma also.
This was definitely a good book to read. It's also different from the typical paranormal genre since it pertains to witches not vampires, werewolves, and so on. And sadly, I now have to wait for the continuation :(.
