The Color of Lies

GIVEAWAY
LYONS, C. J.
THE COLOR OF LIES

When you can see emotions in color, motives become black and white. Even murder.

High school senior Ella Cleary has always been able to read people. And for good reason: she has a rare medical conditions called synesthesia that scrambles the senses, allowing Ella to see colors that reveal people's emotions. Everyone but Alec's.

Alec is a mystery to Ella, a handsome, enigmatic young journalist who makes her feel normal for the first time in her life...until he reveals the real reason he sought her out. He wants to learn the truth behind her parents' deaths. And Ella's world turns upside down when Alec tells her their deaths were not an accident.

After learning her entire life is based on a lie, Ella doesn't know who she can trust, or even who she truly is. With family secrets slowly revealed and the evidence mixing fact and fiction, the only way for Ella to learn the truth about her past is to find a killer.

My Review:

I'm really impressed with this publisher. All of the books I've read from them have been stunning! Blink is the YA division of Zondervan (Harper Collins Publishers) dedicated to bringing quality and clean literature to the teen market. So, while not Christian Fiction, definitely the kind of clean reads I enjoy. Honestly, I'd buy a book without knowing anything else about it other than it was published by Blink. A brilliant collection of books that span all genres.

This mystery has a fascinating edge to it because of the synesthesia angle. Makes for a frenzied-read-in-one-gulp suspense. And there are so many surprising twists in-store for the unsuspecting reader. The kind that have you gasping out loud.

Ella's world is turned upside down as she attempts to sort the truth from the lies. (Brilliant title tie-in, by the way, and the cover art is perfection!) Her two best friends get caught up in the drama as they try to figure out whether Alec is friend or foe.

An angsty romance brews alongside unraveling clues while the specter of danger hovers over them all. A truly spellbinding read!

  7. Love the concept of truth or lie to start with, but add mystery, murder and romance to the mix and you know you have a book that I would greatly enjoy reading. "THE COLOR OF LIES" sounds like it has all that plus some.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy!
