Excerpt:
I lie in bed at night, surrounded by darkness that haunts me. It crawls underneath the covers and gets in my head. The darkness laughs at me, it makes me remember, it reminds me who I really am. And all I want to do is hide, and be someone different, someone normal, someone without fear. So I find solace in music that moves me; that fills me with words that speak to my soul, and gives me hope that there are others as troubled in this world, who might know my kind of pain.With earphones plugged in, my eyes closed tightly, I curl up on my sheets. I listen to A Beautiful Lie by 30 Seconds to Mars and I think about how I am the person in that song, walking the world in a beautiful lie. I can survive when I’m not drowning in the ugly reality of my own truth.I feel tears streak down my face because I know that with any kind of lie, it’s only a matter of time before all the pretty walls come crashing down.Norah Ross, a girl full of secrets who hides away in her world of art and music. Josh, her long time best friend who recently got accepted into the secret society called the Lappell. One night, he took her to one of their dances and that night everything changed. She met Clint and in the moment those two had an instant attraction, this is great since he had no idea about her past. But her secrets was slowly crawling out of the hole she buried them in and soon everything she spent so long trying to keep hidden will be brought to light.
Kay's Review:
This is the first book I'm read from Angela Richardson, and it was a really good romance in my opinion. There were lies, deceit, love and so much more, exactly what you would've expected from a book with a secret society, members from it, and two gorgeous boys vying for one girl. The length was perfect for a summer read, something just long enough but not too short either. I prefer may long thick books for the autumn and winter when I can curl up in my bed. The sun is just too inviting and I want to go out everyday!
Now on to the boys! Josh, the long time best friend that has always been there for her, and the new boy in her life Clint. The typical rich American boy, has women flirting with him date and night, money to through around, and a huge mansion to throw balls in. Yes, like Cinderella type balls. Clint and Norah had an instant attraction that in a few chapters of fighting they end up together, perfect wonderland. But no, with him being part of a secret society things are bound to happen. Assignments he has to do, and when one involves her, she runs straight back into Josh's arms. Until she realizes he's part of something too. But with both boy's declaring their love for her, she needs to make a decision, until her ex-fiancé comes back from the shadows, declaring his love still for her.
Now what is a girl to do? Especially when we discover who she really is! That is when the whole book gets exciting! Norah uses what she knows to save herself, and the three boys she cares so much about. But of course those three continues to meddle... but they still save her. So who is she going to choose?
I really recommend this book to those who love romance, love triangles, secrets, lies and deceit, all wrapped up into one!
Available only as an ebook!
Happy Reading! -Kay
