The Buried is book 4 in A Bane Island Novel by Lisa Childs.
I’m so glad I looked into this book and seen it was part of a series.
I’m also glad I read book 1-3 because it was quite interesting which made reading the fourth book that much better.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel, which was suspenseful and entertaining, and has plenty of action and drama. I found the writing style vivid, and entertaining.
The setting Maine, Bain Island was totally unique and eerie.
An intriguing, captivating and well-developed gothic mystery with a creepy atmosphere.
Overall, this was a great, satisfying read that hooked me in until the end. The book kept a great pace with plenty happening without being over the top and the who dunnit had a terrific twist that ensured I stayed up until I'd finished the book. I already can't wait for the next one.

Absolutely loved this one. I have loved Bodes character through it all and really enjoyed seeing him interact with Mae.
I love learning more about the hidden secrets. This one was full of action and suspense. I definitely did not figure out the ending.

This book was sent to me electronically by Netgalley for review. Thanks to the publisher and author. A story of mystery and intrigue, written by a talented author. The characters come alive on the pages, and the story moves quickly. Red herrings keep the reader guessing. Secrets abound. At times, this book reads like nonfiction, but it is a novel. It would make a great movie. The setting is eerie. Enjoy

The Buried” by Lisa Childs, is an atmospheric, spine tingling book. It takes place on Bane Island, a remote location off the coast of Maine, in a former “insane asylum.” As an avid reader of suspense, I am drawn to this type of book and I was captivated! State trooper Mae Montgomery goes undercover as her deceased sister to an elegant spa now called Halcyon Hall. She is intent on solving a murder. Bode James, native to the island and part of the island’s influential family, had converted the former hospital to what it is today. There is a long history of missing and dead women and accusations fly between the many characters. There is a strong element of romance as well as fear and foreboding in this story. The suspense grips you and keeps on going!

With thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Books for this ARC. My opinions are my own.

THE BURIED is Book 4 in Lisa Childs' BANE ISLAND series, set on a remote Atlantic island off the coast of Maine. Although I haven't read the first 3 in the series (though I'm about to), just from the setting I expected remoteness, isolation, and lots and lots of danger and secrets: because, an estate that covers about half an island? With cliffs and ocean and tunnels? SO many places to conceal Secrets....and fatalities. Accidental or Intentional.

This is Romantic Suspense, so be prepared for romance and romantic tension woven throughout, also frequently steam and hot breathing, with some spice. A whole lot of Romance. And a tremendous amount of wonderfully complicated Suspense!
