Book 5 – Grave Secret

Grave Secret
Secret McQueen Book 5
March 19, 2013

Sometimes a secret goes to the grave. Sometimes Secret puts you there.

It’s been a hell of a year for Secret McQueen, and the last thing in the world she wants is to get caught up in werewolf drama. But when her former fiancé Lucas Rain shows up asking for her help, she knows there’s no easy way out.

After making it known she wants nothing to do with him, Secret agrees to help find Lucas’s wayward sister Kellen. After all, how much trouble could one socialite get into in the city that never sleeps?

Unless that socialite has been spirited away by fairies.

Trying to track down a missing girl in an alternate reality is just the start of Secret’s problems, though. Someone appears to be killing teenagers, and the MO looks eerily similar to something for which the half-fairy oracle, Calliope, might be responsible. Throw in a rogue wolf pack claiming allegiance to Secret’s mother, Mercy, and she’ll have miles to go before she rests.


Warning: This book contains a promise fulfilled, sex that’s out of this world, and more heartache than one hybrid assassin can handle.

    Just read book 4 can’t wait till 2013 it’s sooooo! Long away,Lucas is a ass,go Desmond.
    Not sure about holden.
    Another excellent book, I love secret.

  2. sue nagata says:

    I wasn’t happy with Lucas after Deep,Dark Secret. Now I positively despise the asshat after reading Keeping Secret :( I really hope that things can be salvaged between Secret & Desmond. Maybe Secrets great-grand mere can do some kind of hoo-doo & break the mate bond :D

  3. Kathie says:

    I loved Keeping Secret and can’t wait for the next book! I agree, Lucas is an insufferable asshat (but I still like him:) ).

  4. Sarah says:

    Maybe I am alone in this but I am totally team Holden. Hes always there for Secret. He would do anything for her. I think they balance each other perfectly.. from fashion… to sass.

  5. Stephanie says:

    I was so hoping for the first chapter of Book 5 at the end of “Keeping Secret”! ESPECIALLY after how it ended! Go Holden!

  6. Kelly says:

    I was disappointed that not just in keeping secret but the others as well seeing as Desmond is Secrets actual boyfriend he is hardly in any of them it’s all about Lucas. I would like to know how Lucas really feels about Secret is he just manipulating and using her? It seem like things r really over with Desmond?

  7. Kelly says:

    And I would like to know what Holden feels for Secret as well as Lucas and Desmond maybe sierra could do something from their point of view instead?

  8. Louise says:

    I love Secret!! I KNEW she would end up with Holden sooner or later, i love Desmond though, i actually cried when he left her! A lot lol! I was expecting for some reason for Sig to turn out to be her father or some other relation, it would explain his strange attachment to Secret. I cant bloody wait for the next book! Thanks so much Sierra!

  9. Susie says:

    What a great book. I was surprised no shocked by the end. Lucas is the one wanted who wanted the very public wedding. Lucas is a creep, Desmond is done, so I’m team Holden now. Can’t wait for the next one. Hope it’s not too long.

  10. Elaine says:

    I can not WAIT for the next book!!!!!! I am so ticked off at Desmond for giving up so easy! He doesn’t deserve her! And Lucas!!!! Holy crud! I never loved him but I always hoped he could win Secret over because of the bond but I never expected he could be so cruel to someone he supposedly cared about. He can’t actually be stupid enough to think they will ever be on good terms after what he did to her! Makes you wonder how he really feels about her. Could this start a war in the packs? Was her uncle in on it or will he be ticked she was jilted? Then there’s Holden who I’ve always loved and will hopefully get a shot now! Lastly, there’s Sig. Hmm. I always thought maybe he was secretly her father or something but after how he acted in this book that would seem kind of gross. Maybe he has a thing for her? Would that be good or bad? I don’t know anything anymore!! Help- I need the next book!!!!!

  11. Amber says:

    I agree with Louise about crying at the break-up of Desmond and Secret. Sooooo sad. And Lucas really is a huge dirtbag!!!! And maybe Holden really does deserve a chance since he’s carried a torch for her for some time now. The next book seems so far away. I purchased and read the books this year. I love the story and the characters. Great writing!!!

  12. Selene says:

    I am just a fan from France ! ;) Can’t wait for the next book !!!!

    I also really would like to see a book written from Lucas point of view… try and understand why he can be so hard with our dear Secret !

    Thank you for such a great serie with all those mysterious and charming characters. I really love to read a book that can make me laugh and cry at the same time !

    Some words from the famous french author St Exupery, to continue and improve your french (ni creole ni canadien, sorry !)
    “Voici mon secret. Il est très simple : on ne voit bien qu’avec le coeur, l’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”

  13. Jeannie Nieman says:

    I am sooooooo team Holden! I love your secret series and can’t wait for book 5 to hit Amazon. In the mean time, I will be waiting and looking for your new book about Shane. I love your books and look forward to the next one. No matter what it is I know it will be great.

  14. Gwendolyn Grant says:

    Lucas seems like to much of a wimp to be the king of the werewolves…no backbone at all. I would like to know how Sig figures into this…is he part of the second triangle Calliope spoke of? I am glad she is giving Holden a chance. Desmond turned out to be a disappointment…he walked away instead of fighting for her.

  15. Valarie Cotton says:

    Ths may be out there but can Secret have more than one mate. I am all for it. I loved it but there as we all know more to come. I would like to know what is really going on with Lucas.

  16. JLC says:

    OK, here’s what I want for Secret. Have a fling with Holden, come close with Sig (but stop there), kick Lucas to the curb, and have Desmond realize he screwed up and he has to “come a courtin’ ” our Secret back to his life. I truly want Secret and Desmond together but I want Desmond to work for. But you know what’s great about clever authors? They take their readers for a great ride and I’m all for letting them be in charge. So freakin’ glad I found you, Sierra Dean, a.k.a – Clever Author.

  17. Katharine says:

    Loved the book. At the risk of having tomatoes thrown at me…I actually like Lucas. Yes, he’s an arrogant ass, but I don’t get the impression that he intentionally means to hurt or upset Secret. He needs a lot of lessons in communication and compromise, but I cannot imagine that he has had much experience with strong women who are not submissive. I think their relationship could be very strong, but they would have to work hard. I always thought Desmond would be a passing thing for Secret, and I’m looking forward to seeing where Holden now fits. Can’t wait!

    • Nicola says:

      :-) I’m with you Katharine, I always felt a bit sorry for Lucas because Desmond kind of snuck into Secret’s affections after a near death experience so it wasn’t surprising when she fell into his arms. I always thought it would be a fling too. Lucas was always going to be playing catchup, BUT I was so disappointed over the wedding thing, surely he could have phoned her himself, surely the cousins must have know that their father had called him too him and could have warned her. (Maybe I get too involved in the story line ;-) this book had me nagging people to read it so we could discuss!) Am also looking foward to the Holden storyline, she needs to got here to be able to probably choose which path to take. Given the way the wolfs have treated our Secret to date, you can’t blame a girl for trying the other path! Roll on March 2013 I say!

  18. JLC says:

    I first saw the cover for Grave Secret on my Smartphone so the image was really tiny. My first thought was – “Why is Secret wearing a tennis outfit and why is she holding a parasol”? I then got out my tablet for a better look. Ok, I get it now. Hot chick holding her trusty sword. I’ll admit I should have known better. LOL.

  19. Liz S says:

    Can’t wait! Hope Holden and Secret find their way together.

  20. heather says:

    I just found this series and read all 4.5 books over the last 48 hours. OMG COULD NOT BUT IT DOWN! I have read many many MANY books in my time ( my nook has 1400 books so far and that is just over the last 3 years of reading materials) and I have to say this series has the potential to reach my #2 spot for ALL TIME FAVS ( sorry #1 is taken by Ilona Andrews:Kate Daniels series). It takes a special author to tie in humor, action, romance, character empathy. I canNOT wait for Grave Secret. GO TEAM HOLDEN ( and possibly Sig? )! Boo Lucas :(

  21. Ren says:

    Email from Amazon yesterday, suggested the Secret series, so I took a look. Just read the full series! Have pre-ordered Grave Secret, can’t wait to see where this goes.

  22. Amy C. says:

    Okay, it is oficially March 4, 2013
    When will your next book be released???? I’m in withdrawals!!!

  23. louise says:

    Omg Sierra, I loved GS. what a great ending, awesome cliff hanger but sad how it came about. So pleased to see more of Des and Holden in this book, I am in love with them both. Still think Lucas needs a serious ass kicking, spoilt selfish man. So love the love triangle works better with one wolf and one vampire as she is part of both. lol nice naughty scenes too!!! cant wait till the next book.

  24. Pete says:

    I loved every book, and was devastated at the end. No spoilers, but that was my favorite character. I’m very intersted to see how it turns out in Book 6.

    I know you don’t have a lot of male readers, but I did want to put that out there, and let you know that there are some of us (and we’re not all gay!) Kudos for understanding the really sad twists that a polyamorous relationship can bring. It can be unbelievably heart wrenching.

    • SierraDean says:

      Thank you for the amazing compliments, Pete! I certainly don’t think all my male fans are gay (I actually never considered it before), I think a lot of male readers just appreciate reading about strong women.

      And thanks for saying I handle polyamory well. I always wanted to give Secret’s relationships a sense of realism, and I knew there was no way balancing multiple men would ever be EASY. I’m glad that comes across. :)
