Book Reviews of Beautiful Lies (Ridley Jones, Bk 1)

I highly recommend this book. The writer really captures your attention from page 1. It has many twists and turns that you don't see coming. I felt like I was inside Ridley's head.After you read this you have to get the sequel "Sliver of Truth. It answers many of the questions that you find unanswered in the first book.

I could not put this one down. From the first paragraph I was hooked.

"It's dark in that awful way that allows you to make out objects but not the black spaces between them. My breathing comes ragged from emotion and fear. The only person I trust in the world lies on the floor beside me. I lean into him and hear that he's still breathing, but it's shallow and hard won. He's hurt, I know. But I can't see how badly. I whisper his name in his ear but he doesn't respond. I feel his body but there is no blood that I can tell. The sound of his body hitting the floor minutes before was the worst sound I've ever heard."

I really love the writer's conversational style. Although she is telling you the story, every once and awhile she comments directly to the reader; very engaging.

I liked it so much as soon as I finished it I went looking for the sequel "Sliver of Truth". I couldn't wait for it on to come available on Paperbackswap.com, so I bought it at Borders! Highly recommend it.

Great read.

I love the way Lisa Unger writes. She has great character development and enough twists and turns to make you keep reading. I think this book plot would make a great movie.

Get this book!!! You will find it so hard to put down until you have reached the end! Tons of twists and turns to keep you hooked!!!

Awesome story, lots of twists and turns. It keeps you guessing who done it?? Strong characters! I would gladly suggest this book to others!

Great book!! I started reading it and couldn't put it down.
It was suspenseful and at times predictable but at other times kept you guessing. What I liked most is that it was a fast paced read.

A very interesting, quirky story. Kept me reading into the night! Many twists and turns and surprises!

great read! fantastic writing,I could NOT put this down.

very well written; could not put it down.

Excellent book! Couldn't put it down!

I like her style of writing. Its my first book but I'll read others.

Like all of Lisa Unger's books, the characters were well developed. She makes you care about the people in the book.
One thing I don't particularly care for is that she draws out descriptions of things, seemingly just for length. Many times, I wish that she'd be more direct.

I love all her books so far! Very suspenseful and a very fast read!!

Excellent book with a lot of twist and turns. Put this on your list of books to read. You won't be sorry.

This is a good, fast paced read. You think you know what will happen next, then something else happens instead. It keeps you guessing until the end. Some things could have been explained in a little more detail, but maybe she's saving it for the next book. All in all, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

This was a terrific book. The mystery builds steadily, likable main characters. Love interest Jake has mysteries of his own, keeping main character Ridley on edge about who can be trusted.

Good first suspense novel, kept me interested and I will read the next one.

Absolutely wonderful. It's got tons of action and keeps you guessing. It's a whodunit...great read.
