“I ignore the number flashing like a neon sign in my head and inch forward, mesmerized by how her tongue and lips could make eating so sexual. I press myself against her and lean down as she removes the stem from her lips to invite me in.” (14)
For Beth, a sultry vixen, Trent was the whole million-dollar package. The only thing standing in her was the wife.
Told in the POV of the main characters, story encompasses powerful and exciting emotions, like Trent’s resentment of his wife’s charities or Beth’s envy and desires. It’s a whirlwind of moral ethics, obsessions, and complications. How could something so wrong feel so right?
However, it turns out that there is much more going on than just a tawdry affair. Something big is happening with the family business and everyone is holding secrets. Turns out blood and loyalty run deep in families. And, soon, the web of lies takes form, quickly spiraling into an intricate pattern of manipulation and betrayal. Who can you really trust?
Well-written and captivating, Web of Lies is a mysterious embellishment of passion, greed, and deceit. There’s a game being played and no one knows who will win. You can’t wait to see how this ends. A worthy read!
My rating: 5 stars
