Just One Lie by Kyra Davis

There are some writers that just impress the heck out of me with their depth and writing skills. Kyra Davis is one of them. From the very first book I read of her’s, which happened to be Just One Night, the prequel to this one, I was hooked on her writing. When this new released arrived in my mailbox, I was so excited to finally read the next in the series. Just published is

In the instant international sensation Just One Night, sensible Kasie Fitzgerald unleashed her passions—and found herself—through an explosive affair. In Just One Lie, we meet Kasie’s wild and tortured sister, whose impulsivity and lack of self-control has set off a chain of events that changes her family forever.

Melody Fitzgerald is the opposite of the “perfect” daughter. The lead singer of an indie rock band, she is impulsive and creative, with a rebellious streak that both defines her and becomes her greatest enemy. Her lover, the enticing and unpredictable Ash, shares her free spirit and penchant for trouble. On the face of it, he seems to be her perfect match.

So why is she so drawn to her soft spoken, reliable drummer, Brad Witmer? How can a man who wears polo shirts and reads the financial section of the paper be of any interest to her at all? And why on earth does someone like that appear to be so captivated by her?

Before she knows it, Melody finds herself on a path of self-discovery, passion, and affairs of the heart. But will a dark secret from her past derail it all? Or will its exposure be the very thing that unburdens her heart and allows her to seek a future with the one man who loves her completely?

My Thoughts:

I am usually not at a loss for words but with this book review, I have so many emotions rolling around, it will be hard to put them all together. Let’s see if I can do justice to a book that is flat out amazing.

The author is so skilled at writing about emotion, I found myself asking no one… how can someone be this in touch with feelings and emotion and then be able to write it down? She has created an amazing character in Melody aka Mercy. Wise beyond her years, she sees things in people that others do not… including the person she is dealing with. She knows herself so incredibly well too.

Healing from self destructive tendencies, she finds herself craving care and love while wanting to offer it to others as well. The author has brought two totally different men into Melody’s life that have changed her in many ways. One of them is emotionally hurtful and the other is perfect for her, but not today. The author takes you on a trip spanning 13 years of Melody’s life that is emotional, eye opening, sweet, passionate, and insightful. It just wraps you up and sucks you right in.

I am not going to give away the details as you really have to read this book to get the full impact. What I will say is that this book is one to invest in, both physically and emotionally. Even though it is a sequel, you do not have to have read the first one to read this, although the first book was awesome too and definitely worth the experience of Davis’ storytelling abilities. I found my copy and I am re-reading that one this weekend!

All in all, Kyra Davis is a powerful, extremely talented writer that tells a story unlike any other. If you have not had the pleasure of reading her works before, check out this one! It is so worth the time. Just keep a few tissues handy along the way!
