My Review:
Circle of Lies by Sara Dailey
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Publisher: Boroughs Publishing Group
Date Published: December 20th 2012
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal Romance
The first thing I thought when I began reading CIRCLE OF LIES was that Teagan and Aidan are really suited for each other. They seem like the perfect match. They balance each other out. The second thing I thought was yikes, Peter is a nutshell. Way worse then Kendall.
Let's back up a bit. I'll give you the rundown on the book. It's from three different people's point of view: Teagan (she's human), Aidan (werewolf), and Peter (he's lost his marbles). Aidan meet's Taegan for the first time, and whadaya know. He's hooked. Teagan, unfortunately, has been burned by a hot guy before, and has lost the ability to trust most people. Her home life makes some people's look like royalty.
For a big part of this book Aidan is trying to woo Taegan because hey, he's all about this girl. Teagan is a skeptic when it comes to love and hot guys. Who can blame her? And then there's Peter. His uncle died in front of him after being torn to pieces by a werewolf. And Peter went off the deep end, losing his marbles along the way. Now he wants to wipe out all werewolves.
If you haven't read PACK OF LIES, the first book, then I'd sugest you do that before continuing to read. If you have read PACK OF LIES, you know a) Marcus is an ass and b) Cade and Aidan are brothers. Now that causes for some series drama. Everyone of these characters carries around some serious baggage.
I guess the things that I loved about this book were the way the authors made you both love and hate some of the characters. At some points in the book I just wanted to shake Teagan. And Aidan, please, as my friend would say 'Put your big girl panties on and move on.' Peter gave me the chills. I don't think I ever loved his character, though I could understand where he was coming from and pitied him more than hated him.
When you read this book you'll see all of the dynamics involving the characters, and the way the story is put together. You can appriciate that. The characters from the previous book and this one were one and the same, but now you ge to meet the other characters and see things from their points of view, and their minds eye.
I really hope you consider reading this book. I know it was a joyous read that I loved and I can't wait for the next one.

I love comments! So don't hesitate to share your thoughts. Leave your blog/website name and link so I can get back to you. And if you're a new follower, tell me. Note that this is an award-free zone. I loved getting awards and I was pleased you guys thought I was special, but I was nominated so many times and it took a lot of time to do the award posts, time that I don't have. So thanks, but no thanks.
Happy reading!
