Review: The Deception of Devin Miller by Kelly Martin




Synopsis

One month ago, seventeen year old Devin Miller wrecked while intoxicated— or so she’s told by the sightly ticked off blue-eyed boy when she wakes up from a coma. The only thing Devin remembers is the darkness holding her down and the voices-- some happy, some upset, and one very agitated. She can't remember her name, her age, where she lives, or who in the world the blue-eyed boy is. But he knows her and against her better judgment, she offers to pay him for his memories so she can trick the ones closest to her into thinking she's fine. 

That is her first mistake.

When Devin gets home, the deception is harder than she thought. People she doesn't know keep talking to her. Trey (the blue-eyed boy) doesn't show up like he said he would. And the police want to talk to her about her involvement with the car accident. Plus she keeps seeing flashes of the wreck, but none of them make sense. What would a red plastic cup have to do with anything? And why can't she seem to trust the people she is supposed to trust the most?

Facing DUI charges for a wreck she can't recall, Devin fights to remember exactly what happened the night of the crash: something the real driver desperately wants her to forget permanently.

Who is really doing the deceiving?

My Review
This is an old review of mine that was on my GoodReads but I forgot to add to my blog!


3.5 Stars!


What would you do if you woke up in hospital and didn't know how you got there?
How do you trust people you don't remember?


Devin Miller is 17 years old,a rich, popular girl or that's who she was..
When Devin wakes up in the hospital and cant remember who she is,things go from bad to worse.
She finds out by a slightly annoyed blue eyed boy that she has just come out of a coma and she had crashed her car whilst intoxicated..

Devin cant remember her parents, or all her so called friends..she cant even remember her name..
But she doesn't want anyone to know that she has amnesia..

What if they lie to her? Trick her into believing things that aren't true about herself?


She decides to ask blue eyed boy, Trey to help her act like she remembers everything..
Paying Trey for her memories seemed like a good idea at the time but when she returns home and there is a party for her, all she wants to do is go to her bedroom and sleep..
But where is her bedroom?
And where the hell is Trey?

As days go by Devin keeps getting flashbacks of the accident but it doesn't seem to connect with what she has been told..
What really happened? Was she really that reckless to drink and drive? Or was there more to it?

Who is really doing the deceiving?

This was a quick, fast-paced read, I was hooked right from the start and loved all the twists and turns in the story.
Everyone was keeping secrets and each secret was destroying lives..

I liked Trey he was funny and always there when things went wrong but I wanted to know more about him! I wanted the story to carry on..maybe a series? :D
I really enjoyed all the suspense and trying to figure out what happened, it was like a puzzle, putting all the pieces together!
Great job Kelly Martin!

Review: Truth By Aleatha Romig


Synopsis

Book #2 of the Consequences Series:


Claire Nichols endured the CONSEQUENCES of Anthony Rawlings’ vendetta. 



When she first arrived to his home, her goal was survival. Through strength and compartmentalization Claire captivated her captor. Her resilience in the face of his rule threatened Anthony’s well developed plan. He thought he taught her to behave-but domination became desire and Claire taught Tony to love. 



Their passion and adoration in a world of opulence appeared perfect, yet the reality was a roller coaster of emotion. Claire’s world teetered on the edge of sanity as Antony monitored her every move. When given the opportunity to flee, Claire drove away—a fateful decision which began a well laid plan. 



Unbeknownst to either of them, there were others who saw past the perfect facade of Anthony Rawlings. There were others who saw the TRUTH. Conspiracy and unfulfilled promises result in an early prison release for Claire. Not just a release—a pardon. According to the law, her crime never happened! 



Will it be that easy? Faced with freedom from her past—can Claire seize it? Can she build a new life, mend her broken spirit, become the woman she once was, and seek her own revenge? Or is it all a game? And does the game master have different plans?

How does Sophia Burke fit into the puzzle that is Tony and Claire? Will her presence affect the future of this well esteemed man? Can he dominate twice? Is that his goal? 



TRUTH continues the tumultuous saga of CONSEQUENCES,introduces new players, and uncovers more intrigue. Aleatha Romig skillfully weaves past transgressions through current deception to create a fervent world of obsessed desire. In this reality can an all-consuming relationship survive? 



When buried sins are discovered they threaten not only Tony and Claire’s future—but their very lives! Will the TRUTH be revealed in time?


My Review


5 MIND BLOWING STARS!! 



THAT.WAS.INTENSE!



“Mr Anthony Rawlings had a lesson to learn and Claire claimed the role as teacher.” 



WARNING: This book may cause your body and mind to explode due to the numerous emotions you will feeling throughout the entire book! You may never be the same again :O


Bravo Aleatha Romig! Just when I thought you couldn't possibly outdo Consequences..you proved me wrong! I was blown away with this one it was better than the first book so now I have very high expectations for book 3!
Ahh so many twists and turns just when you think you have it all figured out..BOOM..a new turn in events and every theory of yours is turned on its head.

“In their figurative game of chess, Anthony Rawlings had Claire in check. Every move she made, he countered.”

A big part of reading this book was my change in heart..After reading the first book I vowed to hate Tony with everything in me! I really really really hated him!!! But then.. in this book..the new Tony won me over!I always thought ahh even if he does change i just wouldnt get over all the bad stuff he did..Oh how wrong i was! The more you learn about him and his family the more you start to understand him and understand why he did what he did.. Oh Tony you are amazing! :D I am now officially Team Tony!
Don't disappoint me!

“...His words were barely audible. That was all right; they weren’t intended for anyone except the woman who wasn’t there. “I’m so sorry... for everything... why? ... why did you leave me?” As the tears coated his cheeks he told himself, Anthony Rawlings doesn’t cry. He doesn’t apologize, and he doesn’t cry...”

I really liked how eventually all the sections come together the past and the present .I liked how Tony's character develops throughout the book how he opens up to Claire. And how Claire becomes a stronger person and stands up to him. Some characters pissed me off in this book. Aleatha Romig toying with our emotions again!

I am soooo glad this book doesnt end at a cliffhanger!!!!

I cant wait for CONVICTED!I need this book now!



My casting for Tony and Claire..
