Emma's Secret is the sequel to Finding Emma - a book that I really enjoyed. I enjoyed re-visiting characters and seeing how Emma is getting along now that she's back with her real family. It saddens me that this little girl is so sad because she misses the ones that took her. Also, the family dynamics are really crazy - everyone's on edge and afraid to let Emma out of their sight. I imagine I would be too, though.
Great family dynamics, wonderful character building and a slow building story that delves into a secret and whether or not Megan, Emma's mom, will relent and let Emma see Jack (one who took her). It's a sad story, a happy story, at times frustrating, but I was always invested in the story, from the first page. If you read Finding Emma, you'll want to read Emma's Secret. An emotional read on so many levels that I'm still thinking about long after I've finished it. Another winner for Holmes!

Before you read this review, STOP and pick up Finding Emma by Steena Holmes.
Ok. Now proceed. Emma's Secret picks up where the first ends and oh am I so thankful for this sequel. It definitely lived up to the first book and I was very glad to find out what happened after Emma returned to her family. Thankfully this author made the experience feel very real and showed what could be the truth when a kidnapping victim is returned to their former life.
