By: Emerald O’Brien
5 out of 5 stars
The story Lies Come True (The Avery Hart Trilogy Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien is a book that I loved reading. It is a story that has mystery and suspense. There are times when reading I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next. It is a book that hooked me in and didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. This police procedural takes you on a journey that you will not soon forget. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Avery Hart and Noah Cotter. Avery escaped death ten years ago. Was her attack then and a more recent one linked? Noah is a new inspector who is curious about the case and also attracted to Avery. What will Noah find in his search for the truth? Read this book to find out what happens. I enjoyed the description of the police investigation that takes place and felt like I was trying to solve a puzzle. There is intense dialogue. Avery is a character that is likeable and one you can relate to. She at times feels like an outcast and I could empathize and sympathize with what she goes through. Noah feels the need to protect Avery. There are additional characters that are introduced and some of them I really enjoyed reading about. Others I found myself questioning their motives and actions. Don’t miss out on a thrilling story that will have your heart pounding. I would recommend reading it. This is the first book in a trilogy and I look forward to reading the next one.
I really enjoyed this book and i couldn’t put it down.
This story follows the case of a murderer going around killing women in the forest. What makes this killer interesting is the mask he wears. 10 years previously Avery was attacked by someone wearing the same mask. Is it a coincidence or has the attacker escalated to murder.
This story is gripping and fast paced, I couldnt put it down as i wanted to know who it was.
With a mixture of people from Avery’s past and present the murderer could be anyone.
Its full of twists and turns and you will be shocked and surprised by some of the twist it takes.
Lies Come True (The Avery Hart Trilogy Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien is a suspenseful mystery. The author leads the reader through the story setting the stage for the trilogy. The main characters are well established with secondary characters introduced throughout the story. I felt that the story was written in a way that works for this genre and keeps the reader interested wondering where they are being led and questioning what is going to happen next. Avery, the heroine of the story, has had a horrid past to overcome, but she’s survived. Now the new events are occurring and it’s wrecking havoc, bringing forth memories and questioning what’s to come. Definitely a great read for those who enjoy a good mystery.
I have enjoyed reading mysteries since I was a child so it’s not surprising that I enjoyed this mystery. It was an intriguing story which was shrouded with unpredictable events. It was somewhat scary because the reader is brought into the depth of the mind of the serial killer.
If you love mysteries, and I do, you will thoroughly enjoy Lies Come True. The first book in the Avery Hart Trilogy is everything a mystery reader could ask for with an ending that leaves you wanting more.
The story is light on the romantic elements, heavy on the suspense and mystery. The action starts from the first paragraph and doesn’t stop until the end.
What I liked about Lies Come True is that all the main characters are relatable. You can see yourself as Avery, as Fiona or Noah. And if you can’t see yourself as one of them, you can certainly see a friend as one of them.
This is my first read from Emerald O’Brien but will not be my last.
A good story but picks up speed only after 80% of the way… and requires lot of spell-check and and punctuation correction too… and at a few places even a confusing of names…
If I had known it wasn’t a self-contained novel I would not have started it
I enjoyed reading this book only to be a little disappointed that now I have to read the next two in the series. So I bought them to read.
I like the cover of the book and glad it was free. I felt like there was not enough things connecting in the story line.
I finished reading it to see exactly what happened, but was disappointed that there was not an ending and will have to read the 2nd and 3rd book to probably see if Avery and Cotter get together and if they do catch Arnold and why he was doing what he was doing.
Couldn’t put it down. Grabs you from the start till the end
It was ok. Hard to keep up with characters.
Why did it end like that? I know, because it has a sequel.
GOOD READING
wanted to read book straight thru – looking forward to reading the next 2 books in the trilogy
I didn’t want to put it down. Held you to the end. Looking forward to more of Emerald’s work
A great story about Avery Hart trying to find a killer. However, I still don’t know what happens because it continues in the next book. I will have get it.
Lies Come True is one very fast paced read that kept me flipping the pages. I found this book to have a lot of twists, I was always on my toes trying to figure out the mystery but sometimes it could be just a little bit too much. This is the first book in the Avery Hart Trilogy and I think that it set you up perfectly for the next installment. Emerald O’Brien did a great job with the characters and interweaving them so subtly throughout the lives of Avery and Noah, I was never sure where they stood in the story and I appreciated that. I questioned my instincts a lot while I read this story and not a lot of books make me do that. While I think that it may have been a bit overwrought at times, like too many twists, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I can’t wait to read the second one and find out some answers.
Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien is the first book in the Avery Hart series and a book that I could NOT put down!! This page turner was filled with such suspense and mystery that it grabbed me at the beginning and held my interest in the two sittings that it took me to finish. This is a trilogy and you will be left with a cliff hanger, and I know I will be reading all book as I want to know more about what happens to the character’s and what happens with the story line.
Avery escaped a horrible attack ten years ago, and there seems to be a connection to current attacks and the cops are worried there is a killer on the loose. Noah, a new investigator is drawn to this case as his attraction to Avery intensifies. Now Noah must find out the truth!
This book will make you think and think hard and it what will draw you more into the story and make you want to dive right into the next two books! I give this book 4 stars and look forward to reading the next two books.
I give Lies Come True (The Avery Hart Trilogy Book 1) by Emerald O’Brien, 4 stars.
10 years ago, Avery was a young teen who barely made it out of a harrowing event. She was chased by what she at the time thought was a monster. She felt she just got lucky to make it out alive. Now, other girls aren’t that lucky. The current attacks remind Avery of what she went through. She knows she has to tell someone. So she turns to a new inspector, Noah. There is something about this young woman that intrigues him. He is drawn to find out more about the currents cases. But they can’t seem to catch the attacker, and he has already killed. Can they stop this person? How many more have to suffer first? Does this have anything to do with Avery?
This was a very good book. You get drawn into the action and suspense right away. I really felt for Avery, both for what has happened in the past and in the present day. She is the main character, well her and Noah, but the secondary characters are wonderful too. They each have their own personality. The story itself is gripping and does not let go. You are left puzzling things out the whole time. I really like this in a suspense book. I don’t want to have all the answers, I like to be kept guessing. This is the beginning of what seems to be an exciting trilogy and I anxiously await the next book.
Lies Come True by Emerald O’Brien is the first book in The Avery Hart trilogy. This book is full of mystery and intrigue that will keep you reading. The fact that it ends on a cliffhanger makes it all the more intriguing.
This is a new author to me and I enjoyed the way she wrote the book. The blurb had me curious and the book does a great job of capitulating on this. It is fast paced and intense. You never quite know what is truly going on. I am very much looking forward to reading more of this story in the next two books.
