There are some authors that automatically go on my one click immediate buy list. Lisa Renee Jones is one of those authors and I love being on her review team. That means I get first dibs on the upcoming releases and share my thoughts with you!
She has an amazing ability to tell a story that is so riveting, you simply do not put her books down. This upcoming release is a bit different from her other books. A straight up thriller and mystery without a heavy romantic twist. It was unputdownable!

ABOUT:
They say that you are not a product of the environment that you’ve grown up in, that you create your own story, tell it your way. That you get to pick your own future. They lied. If you’re honest with yourself, you believed that lie, too, like I used to, because I wanted to, and even needed to believe that I had some semblance of control over my own self. The truth is that control is part of the lie. The ability to become a person of our own making is the perfect lie. I concede that it might appear that some people control their destiny, but I assure you, if you gave me fifteen minutes, I could pull apart that façade. We are born into a destiny that we never have the chance to escape. That’s why I must tell my story. For those of you out there like me who were told that you have choices, when you never had one single choice that was your own. For those of you out there who were, who are, judged for decisions you’ve made that were directed, not by the façade of choices. The irony of the story within this story is how one person’s predisposed destiny can impact, influence, and even change the lives of those around him or her. How one destiny ties to another destiny.
I am Hailey Anne Monroe. I’m twenty-eight years old. An artist, who found her muse on the canvas because I wasn’t allowed to have friends or even keep a journal. And yes, if you haven’t guessed by now, I’m that Hailey Anne Monroe, daughter to Thomas Frank Monroe, the man who was a half-percentage point from becoming President of the United States. If you were able to ask him, he’d probably tell you that I was the half point. But you can’t ask him, and he can’t tell you. He’s dead. They’re all dead and now I can speak.
A PERFECT LIE by Lisa Renee Jones Review
This book was awesome. From the way she give us hints through the past about what is going on, she slowly draws you in and crafts this story that could be ripped from the headlines.
In a time where politics are constantly in our conversations, this book is a timely story that is twisted and a bit dark, but so damn good!
We all have that best friend that pushes us to do things we may not want to. Break down the barriers. Break some rules. But when you are the upcoming President’s daughter, that could be a big issue.
Jones nailed the controversy surrounding those that are in the public eye constantly. The way you are treated, especially when you are the cause of so many issues. I swear I wanted to smack her father!
But this story is not what it seems! I love that about her writing. This woman’s brain and mad writing skills are amazing. I read it in one afternoon and I wanted more! And that ending….YESSSSS. Like I said before – So damn good! It will keep you thinking.
5 Stars from me!
