Black Lies
“I can overlook that fact.”Whoa – Okay that initial bit of foreshadowing you have no idea you are in for an up and down ride. I’ve read Ms. Torre before. She can write a very intriguing story that wraps you up and can’t put down. You want a summary of what the book is about? Go read another review as I am not that kinda of reviewer. So, then what can I tell you about the story without giving so much away? Brant/Layana/Lee, it just not what you think, yet it is what you think, and it’s more than you think.
I was needing something to take me out of my ‘sad’ reads and this came recommended by a friend. She said it was her 2014 read. And now I know why. For some you may grasp where the story is going earlier on like I did. That’s okay because now you are compelled to read it. Some characters are possessed. Wait, they all are- just at different levels and different motivators. The story is sexy, confusing, captivating and riveting all at once.
If you have a problem with triad story lines, please give this a try. Can you relate? Maybe not to the conditions presented as they are rare but a reality. But the desperation of Layana, yes we feel her. Love romance with a big suspenseful twist, you’ll love it. I am just sorry I didn’t read this sooner.
