Ratings and reviews

This book led me quickly down the road of deception and not knowing what to believe. Marcie, the lawyer, doesn’t know if her husband is an assassin or a bar owner and family man. But recent strange events in her life have her confused and in danger. This is a fast-paced adrenaline rush of a book, with great characters and an engrossing storyline. All opinions expressed are my own.

LIES HE TOLD ME - The story started off a bit slow but kicked into gear after a few chapters. Interesting story lines, good characters and a few twists made for a hard to put down read. Source: Netgalley. 5*
