BLOG TOUR, REVIEW, and GIVEAWAY ~ Girl of Lies by Charles Sheehan Miles

Book title: Girl of Lies by Charles Sheehan Miles

Andrea Thompson is smart, assertive and beautiful. She’s also desperately lonely.Raised in Europe by her grandmother, she struggles knowing neither of her parents wanted her, and she has no idea why.

When Andrea receives an urgent call from her older sister Carrie, she agrees to fly to the United States to help. Carrie’s newborn daughter Rachel needs a bone marrow transplant.

What Andrea doesn’t know is that her return to the United States will launch a chain of events that will uncover secrets hidden for decades. Secrets which will rock the Thompson family and ignite a political firestorm.

Secrets that some will kill to protect.

Once upon a time in a faraway land, I was a law student. I loved congressional and Lincoln-Douglas debates and I craved politics. Though that’s far from who I am today, this story touched and awakened that part of me I thought was gone. Nothing impresses me more than a book combining both intellect and emotion, and that is exactly what this book has done. 

But first, have you read the other three Thompson Sisters books? No? Here.

  

If you want the best reading experience possible, I suggest you read those before starting this book. 

If you have read them, then I’m going to warn you that this book is different from the other three. Romance isn’t the fundamental element that drives the story. It’s the political intrigue, mystery, and action that steal the show. 

Andrea is the youngest of the Thompson sisters and the one we know least about. In this book, we find that she’s a strong, witty, and independent sixteen year old who has lived in Spain for most of her life. Why was she separated from her family and sent away? Don’t stress. All will be answered here.

With Andrea’s homecoming and ‘Rachel’s Peril’ sparks a revolutionary sequence of events that unfold. Puzzle pieces all around the globe start to pop up and at times I wondered how the heck everything was related to each other. All these different people, near and far but intricately connected to the same case, slowly start to converge. I’d start to make connections and guess at who was who and if they were enemy or friend. But just when I thought I nailed the culprit...

Nope. This story kept me on my toes from the very beginning to the very end. It ends on an expected cliffhanger so I’m not too worried about that part. Many questions are answered here but a lot of problems remain unsolved. One thing’s for certain: I am very interested in the direction Charles will take this story in. There are literally so many paths the next book could go in. 

5 stars! Smart. Sexy. Intriguing. Edgy. A pulse-pounding, thrilling, suspenseful, and action-packed first installment in this spin-off series.
