When it comes to suspense and thrillers, I love a good story with plenty of intrigue to keep my interest. I was introduced to a new trilogy that I want to share with you. This is part three of the series and one to check out.
Cascading Lies by D.R. Willis
Publisher: iUniverse (August 5, 2015)
ISBN-13: 978-1491773635
Nick Davis is a survivor. First, there’s his family history that’s practically cursed, all thanks to a mysterious man named Roth Braun and the death of Nick’s uncle. Then, there’s his personal life, as Nick was recently pulled into an international ring of dark secrets that almost took his life. He sees disappearance as his only option at a clean slate.
Nick changes his name and location in an attempt to escape the bad luck that’s been following his family for decades. However, his attempt proves futile, as even in his new locale, everyone is out to get him. He makes the acquaintance of Jane-a troubled woman he can’t resist helping-and their relationship soon turns romantic, despite secrets they both hold tight.
Yet, the ghost of Roth Braun still lingers, as do other past indiscretions. The new life Nick hoped to build is wrought with terror and death. He can’t identify friend from foe, so he’s on the run for his life-but he won’t leave without Jane, who has some serious troubles of her own. Will Nick ever escape the horrible secrets of his past, or will he become their prisoner until he, too, becomes another ill-fated memory?

My Thoughts:
I love a great suspense story an this one sounded like a good one. Since this is part three in a trilogy, you definitely must start with book one and read them in order. I, unfortunately, did not and found myself lost quite a bit in the beginning.
In a story that is is built around many characters that are tied together, it was a bit difficult to get into the story and figure it out. But once I got the jist of the plot, it read more like a mystery that unfolded the more I got into it.
The author has a wonderful talent for telling a tale that keeps the reader involved throughout. The story offers plenty of intrigue that leaves you wondering where the story is going, who dun it and, why. Needless to say, this story would have been so much better if I had read books 1 and 2 before so I knew the back story. But I can tell the author has a way with words that crafts an interesting and unique novel that will keep you on your toes throughout.
An easy read, but highly entertaining too. One to check out.
