I stumbled upon this book when I was given a copy of the 2nd book Solitary Tears for an honest review. I downloaded The Lies that Save Us so I would know what was going on in the series. I was happy I did. I enjoyed this book. Going into it I wasn't sure what to expect. There was mystery, action, gun fights, a little romance. What else can you ask for? Alexa lost her dad and her fiance over a year ago. Her fiance betrayed her, and she was left alone. She moves to a small town opens a diner and tries to keep to herself. She meets an older gentleman named Keith who becomes somewhat of a surrogate father figure to her. Then along comes "Ham and Eggs" AKA Cayman. He keeps trying to get her attention and asks her out- she always refuses. Alexa has built a wall around her heart- she doesn't want to fall in love again but there is something about Caymen. Alexa starts seeing her dead father and starts to get freak out. She knows it is him but he is dead- she watched the casket go in the ground. Cayman finally wears her down and she agrees to go out with him. During their outing she sees her dad again. Cayman believes her but doesn't understand it. Little does Alexa know Cayman worked with her dad in the FBI. Her dad asked Cayman to look after her. Someone tries to break into Alexa's house Cayman chases them off. The two of them decide to go on a road trip to go back to her father's house in Arizona. On the way someone tries to run them off the road, they get shot and shot at. Alexa's instincts kick in and she has doubts about Cayman, something just doesn't add up. She ends up finding out he worked with her dad and her dad tells her in a message he recorded before her death that Cayman is to be trusted and to stick with him that he is a good guy. I enjoyed the mystery and the action and suspense of what was going to happen next. I don't want to give the ending away but I was surprised at what happened. JL Redington is on tour now with CLP Blog Tours and The Lies That Save UsThis is quite a story! Even after reading the synopsis, I was still a bit caught off guard by how intense this book got. Not to say I disliked it, the plot twist was just unexpected to me. The beginning started off just a tad slow for me, but once the action started picking it up the book got exciting and I was having a lot of fun reading it. There is romance and suspense, and I loved the cliff hanger…well, loved in the sense that I know a book 2 is coming and I’m looking forward to reading it!
