I Can See Your Lies

De: Izzy Lee

Narrado por: Cheryl May

Fin's reality is crumbling. Her husband has abandoned her, she's now a single mom to a nine-year-old daughter, her Los Angeles home is sweltering, and she's being haunted by disturbing hallucinations that make life a waking nightmare. Are the visions a product of stress, trauma, psychosis, or something else? The answers to those questions become more clear when Fin starts digging up dark secrets connected to her mother's cold-case disappearance, a once-rising actress who mysteriously vanished in 1979. Will Fin slowly unravel the truth? Or will it remain hidden forever beneath the glitz and glamour of illusion?

interesting story, well written.

I thought the story was well written and quite interesting. I would listen to other books by this author.

A unique journey

What a different story than I’m used it was refreshing and unexpected. The story moves fast at some points so pay attention. The narrator did an amazing job capturing the story and the lines.

Velvety Treasure

A sleuthing generational missing person with phantasm surreal imagery. It mines a feeling of old Hollywood and family discord for dramatic elements; and felt more like a surreal drama than a scary horror. There are multiple tendrils of romance and lack of romance leading back to a missing actress whose daughter can't help be drawn to investigate in part because of her own child. Both are cursed with far out hallucinations and tell tale moldy dark imagery that distress theme; which helps the plot feel more nightmarish and works as a plot device. The narration gels with the plot, of a female voice that fits my vision of the lead and much of the plot can feel like a running internal dialogue. You could feel the draw of the plot pulling the lead alone. Emphasis on mood and psychological elements artfully paced - it's more a mystery than a horror and I enjoyed it's pacing and it didn't overstay. [Note: I received a code for an honest review]

Nice little mystery with some supernatural

I loved trying to figure out whether the narrator is reliable or not. Whether she was crazy or not. There are more questions than answers, but somehow I'm okay with that. It was a fun romp.

Thought provoking and conscience.

This is such and interesting book, I was never quite sure how much paranormal was going to happen but I enjoyed every minute of it. I am easily spooked so some of it did get me and I didn't care for how similar the diary entries and Finn sounded but a very good book.
