Customer Reviews

"Deadly Little Lies" is a great thriller.

"Deadly Little Lies" was great, fascinating, and unpredictable. I loved "Deadly Little Secret" but this book was even better! Laurie Faria Stolarz left me on the edge of my seat. This book was a real page-turner. I thought the love-triangle of Ben, the new guy at Knead, and Camelia was very interesting. I also thought this book was great and I cannot wait until the next book in the Touch Series, Deadly Little Games, comes out. But if you are going to read "Deadly Little Lies", DO NOT READ IT AT NIGHT IN BED! It will freak you out and you will not be able to fall asleep!

A Great Sequel!

Since, Deadly Little Secret was only mediocre, in my opinion, I was a bit hesitant to start Deadly Little Lies. Luckily, Deadly Little Lies batted out any future worries I have with this series simply because it was just plain out fantastic and showed major growth in character and plot development! Camelia got a lot more likable in this one because of character growth, as mentioned above. Since, for one, she wasn't making extremely stupid decisions in not telling anyone what was happening like she did before, making me actually start to care about what happened to her. And for two, I liked how she gave Ben at ultimatum in this book because it proved strength on her part and made Ben step it up. Plus, I loved the whole focus on her pottery and how it may be related to psychometry. I'm really excited to see where this will go in Deadly Little Games( the next in the series). Further more, I loved the secondary characters a ton in this one. Because their constant dialogue brought many laughable scenes into the mix and brought the scary undertone to the story to a point where the level between funny and serious was great! The plot in this was also fantastic because I loved the development in it, once again, and it constantly provided you with a twist and turn you never saw coming. I mean seriously half of the stuff that happened in this book was way differnt then what I thought would occur. In all, Laurie Faria Stolarz proves the Touch series to be a must read in this follow-up, making it a great add to your wishlist.

It has been four months since Ben left Camelia. Since then, Camelia has been researching psychometry, the mysterious gift that Ben has. Camelia is sure that she has this power as well, like it rubbed off on her somehow. Then Ben comes back to school. He keeps his distance, but then breaks it, confusing Camelia. He wanted space, so Camelia decides to finally give up and move on. She meets Adam at Knead. He seems to care about her, but he isn't Ben. Camelia is also starting to get more weird photos and letters. She is even hearing things - warnings. Someone is lying to her. But who? Ms. Stolarz's writing is brilliant. I love it, and it is so easy to read, and keep reading, until you're done with the whole novel. The characters are so lovable. I found myself rooting for Camelia and Ben the whole time. The "love triangle" is a great addition to the novel, because it really puts a strain on Camelia's and Ben's relationship, or lack thereof. And there being another stalker, or weirdo, in her town is crazy. DEADLY LITTLE LIES is another amazing story. I have yet to find a book by this author that I do not like. I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book in the TOUCH series, DEADLY LITTLE GAMES! Reviewed by: Ashley B

Exciting second installment

This was a great second installment in the series. Deadly Little Lies finds Camelia awaiting the expected return of Ben after he had been gone for 4 months. His abrupt departure left Camelia brokenhearted and she found herself studying everything she can about his special gift of psychometry. As she looks further into psychometery she starts experiencing her own incidents of premonition and wonders if Ben's gift has rubbed off on her. Once Ben returns he seems to not want anything to do with Camelia, that is until she starts seeing the new guy in town, Adam. As Camelia is getting wrapped up in her own love triangle she starts receiving threatening messages again. Could someone she cares about be behind them? I really liked this book it grabbed my attention and kept me in a bit of suspense. There was a bit of predictability to the book but it was fun and exciting and kept you rooting for Camelia and Ben. I think it was a great second installment to a promising series.
