What Authors and Reviewers are saying about
Lois Lavrisa’s debut novel
Liquid Lies
"Full of breath-taking twists and turns! Liquid Lies had me whipping through
the pages, never quite sure whose number was up next. A great whodunit
mystery laced with suspense."
~ Ann Charles, Award-winning and Bestselling Author
“Liquid Lies is an imaginative story ...if you like a good mystery, put this book on your "must read" list.”
~ Nancy Brandon, Bestselling Author of Dunaway’s Crossing .
“I absolutely loved this book! A dark secret held for years by two friends comes back to haunt them with murderous results. Tension builds throughout this taut mystery right up until the action packed climax. Lois Lavrisa will keep you guessing until the end. I highly recommend Liquid Lies.”
~Matthew Rush, Author
“Lois Lavrisa delivers a fantastic book- five stars! I could not stop reading Liquid Lies once I started. So suspenseful wondering how much more CiCi could take. This is definitely a must read!”
~Laura Fortin, Reviewer
“I really enjoyed this book. I thought I had the bad guy/gal figured out only to be proved wrong more than once! Kept me guessing until the end. I look forward to reading more from this author.”
~J. Anderson Avid Reader, Reviewer
“I loved the heroine of Liquid Lies. CiCi is sympathetic but flawed...a well rounded character. The plot was fast-paced and multi-layered with a mystery that'll keep you guessing until the last page. A fantastic debut novel by an exciting new author. Bravo.”
~ Reading Cat Review
“My travels with this book began with my fiancé telling me "I sent a book to your Kindle. You've got to read it." I was expecting something similar to what he usually sends me - action thrillers with male main characters who could outshoot John Wayne blindfolded, but instead I found CiCi, a quirky young girl, in a novel with a romantic subplot. Naturally, my curiosity was aroused… I enjoyed this book so much that I gave it to my mother for Mother's Day, as I thought she would find to be a female lead version of the type of detective novels she usually reads (mostly James Patterson). I'm sure she's going to love it - now I just have to wait to see what else Lois Lavrisa writes!”
~Kristen, Reviewer
“Liquid Lies is one of those books that when you start it, it's hard to put down. Secrets can be destructive which CiCi gets to know very well. Well-written, full of action, suspenseful, in fact everything one could ask in a mystery, this was a no-brainer to rate 5 stars!”
~ Mimi Barbour, Bestselling Author, He’s Her
“This is a thrilling fast-paced mystery that whisks you through a whole range of emotions as you read. Told through the point of view of the main character CiCi, we see her life unfold and an old secret come back to haunt her. With a wonderful cast of secondary characters this is a well written engrossing read that kept me in suspense right up to the end. Loved it!”
~Loves Romance, Amazon top reviewer
“Liquid Lies is a mystery thriller that makes you feel anything but cozy. A story as tension charged and as fast moving as a waterslide. Once you're into Liquid Lies there's no stopping until you reach the end." ~ Patricia Mason, Award Winning Bestselling Author, In Deep Shitake
“Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Liquid Lies is a story packed with action, mystery and well developed characters that will capture your imagination and make you grateful when they succeed.”
~Romantic Chick, Reviewer
“I could not put this book down! Liquid Lies is a tightly woven mystery steeped full of quirky characters on an emotion-packed thrill ride. This is one story you'll want to tell your friends about!”
~ Cynthia Cooke, Award Winning Author, Luck and a Prayer
