"The captivating missing piece that continues one of the most intricate, enthralling, and suspenseful stories I've ever read." - Vilma's Book Blog
Readers saw what happened on that fateful afternoon at the Rawlings Estate and heard about the aftermath. This fourth novel of the series is told through the men in Claire Nichols’ life and fills in the gap of time that was only previously mentioned. Like dominoes falling in a line, Revealed allows readers to experience the shocking repercussions one by one, and witness their effect on everyone in the game.
Share the struggle as Anthony Rawlings fights for what is his as the crashing consequences of his past threatens to change his world forever. Join Harrison Baldwin as he discovers the truth that threatens his beliefs, and John Vandersol as he come to terms with his revelations. Witness as Phillip Roach decides with whom his loyalties lie, and Brent Simmons demonstrates the meaning of friendship—no matter the cost.
Readers of this series survived the Consequences, learned the Truth, and know who was Convicted, but that is not all. Do not assume that Tony and Claire’s story is complete, because beyond the conclusion of Convicted there is more to be REVEALED!

MY REVIEW
In my education as a meteorologist, I learned how essential elements combined in just the right way to create the perfect storm. Finding the one element, the one piece of the puzzle that completed the devastation would be like choosing the single raindrop responsible for a ruinous flood or the upward draft that completed the destructive funnel cloud. Each drop of water or gust of wind played a role in the destruction. In my education as Mrs. Rawlings, I learned how each storm, no matter how small, played a role in creating the perfect companion.
As a town is never the same after a destructive storm, neither was I.
If you are reading this book, it means that you have enjoyed Tony and Claire’s journey so far and you still crave for more.
If you hated Tony and Claire’s journey I really don’t understand why you keep reading it. This is book 5. So you had 4 major chances before in order to quit it.
This is a very hard story to read, so I see no point someone torturing himself/herself if they don’t like it.
I admit the story had some high moments and some low moments for me. I loved some parts of the five books, I hated some other parts. But everything is balanced and well- written.
Right…so, I don’t actually have much to add to my reviews of the previous books. I just have a few things to point out for this specific book:
1. I believe this is my favourite book of the whole series. It is fast paced and with a lot of angst –although you already know the result. And you can finally understand the way that most of the main characters are thinking.
2. The book accompanies beautifully book 3 of the series i.e. “Convicted”, but I am certain that if you only read “Revealed: The Missing Years”, you will be just fine. It is the same book in fact from a different perspective. While “Convicted” starts with the mystery of ‘why is Claire in a mental institute?’ and ‘where is Tony? is he still alive?’; “The Missing Years” have a more direct approach. The events are happening one after the other. There are no mysteries.
3. The book has multiple points of view. Everyone is reading Meredith Banks’ book “My Life as It Didn’t Appear” and they can finally understand Claire’s torment. When I say everyone, I mean Brent, John, Phil, Tony, Tony’s therapist etc. Everything is puplic knowledge now and “appearance: never doubt its power or importance” is the least of Tony’s problems right now.
4. You will get a small extended epilogue that takes us to February 2018. And everyone lives a happily ever after. The bad people are in jail and far far away, the good people are always smiling.
