BOOK SYNOPSIS

Avery Hart narrowly escapes death after being attacked in the woods of Crown River.

Ten years later...

The body of a young woman is found along the path of a park in the same town. The killer is cunning and ruthless, but even the best killers make mistakes.

Fiona Wolfe, the second woman to be attacked, survives and reveals a potential link between the current killer and the attack on Avery Hart.

Noah Cotter, an ambitious new inspector, becomes drawn to the case when his curiosity combines with his attraction to Avery.

The dangerous search for truth appears to be muddied with each shocking secret brought to light, as Avery, Fiona, and Noah realize that when someone is deceived for too long, sometimes...

Lies Come True

EXCERPT

She turned back up the trail, and pushed herself to go forward. The next few strides hurt less than the first. She picked up her pace, and squinted into the last of the sunlight, as her heart pounded in her chest.

She took deep breaths as she pushed herself harder, confident that she was gaining ground, and when she reached a clearing by the lake, she looked back.

It was a man, or what looked like one, but his face was white. And red.

MY REVIEW

LIES COME TRUE IS AN ACTION FILLED SUSPENSE THRILLER AND MURDER MYSTERY THAT KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT TO THE VERY END. EMERALD PULLS YOU INTO THE STORY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AND KEEPS YOU GUESSING WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT THROUGHOUT THE STORY.

I WAS ENGROSSED IMMEDIATELY WITH THE STORYLINE AND THE CHARACTERS.  I LOVED AVERY, FIONA AND NOAH.  ALL VERY STRONG CHARACTERS ESPECIALLY AVERY AND FIONA WHO WERE ATTACKED AND SURVIVED.  I LOVED THE ROMANCE THAT IS DEVELOPING BETWEEN AVERY AND NOAH.  NOAH IS ANOTHER STRONG CHARACTER WHO SETS OUT TO CATCH A KILLER.   I THOUGHT ALL THE SECONDARY CHARACTERS WERE ALSO VERY STRONG AND EACH HAD A STORY TO TELL.  ALL THE CHARACTERS PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE STORY.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED LIES COME TRUE AND CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES.  I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND JUST HAD TO KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT AND WHO THE KILLER WAS.  I LOVE EMERALD'S STYLE OF WRITING AND HOW SHE PULLS YOU INTO THE STORY.  SHE HAS SOME AMAZING CHARACTERS WHO ARE SO BELIEVEABLE AND REAL LIKE FILLED WITH SO MUCH EMOTION.  EMERALD BRINGS ALL HER CHARACTERS TO LIFE AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN THE STORY.  YOU COULD FEEL ALL THEIR EMOTIONS AND EXPERIENCE EVERYTHING THEY FELT.  EMERALD DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE VERY INTENSE AND EMOTIONAL SCENES WITH THE CHARACTERS.  IT FELT REAL AND VERY BELIEVABLE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ LIES COME TRUE.  IT IS A WONDERFUL READ AND WILL KEEP YOU GUESSING.  YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT.  I DO HAVE TO WARN YOU THERE IS A CLIFFHANGER AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK.   I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE OF EMERALD'S BOOKS.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER WRITING.  5 STARS
