Deadly Little Lies (Touch Series #2)

Reviewed by Ashley B for TeensReadToo.com

It has been four months since Ben left Camelia. Since then, Camelia has been researching psychometry, the mysterious gift that Ben has. Camelia is sure that she has this power as well, like it rubbed off on her somehow.

Then Ben comes back to school. He keeps his distance, but then breaks it, confusing Camelia. He wanted space, so Camelia decides to finally give up and move on.

She meets Adam at Knead. He seems to care about her, but he isn't Ben. Camelia is also starting to get more weird photos and letters. She is even hearing things - warnings. Someone is lying to her. But who?

Ms. Stolarz's writing is brilliant. I love it, and it is so easy to read, and keep reading, until you're done with the whole novel. The characters are so lovable. I found myself rooting for Camelia and Ben the whole time. The "love triangle" is a great addition to the novel, because it really puts a strain on Camelia's and Ben's relationship, or lack thereof. And there being another stalker, or weirdo, in her town is crazy.

DEADLY LITTLE LIES is another amazing story. I have yet to find a book by this author that I do not like. I cannot wait to find out what happens in the next book in the TOUCH series, DEADLY LITTLE GAMES!

Deadly Little Lies

This is a good second book to the series. It brings a good amount of drama and will captivate you until the end.

Great book

Deadly Little Lies was a great book. A great mystery keeps you guessing to the very end, which Ms. Stolarz did in this book. Even though Camilia is being stalked like in the previous book; Deadly Little Lies is still a great read with some interesting twists.

Awesome series, I love Laurie Faria Stolarz!! (:

The first book, Deadly Little Secrets, was VERY VERY good. I loved how Camelia and Ben's romance kind of stem-ed off Camelia's anxiety about her "stalker" situation. He was always there for her, and that's really what she needed in the first book. Now, in Deadly Little Lies, Ben is distant. Why? Well, it's obvious...He doesn't want to endanger her because of not trusting himself. WHICH I think is totally unnecessary, but that's Ben, y'know? (:
So, Camelia, being fed up with Ben's "hands off" method, she finds Adam. Well, actually Adam seeks her out, and pressures her (but in a flirtatious way) to go out with him. The whole time Camelia is thinking 'I'm not ready for this'. But, an interesting love triangle forms. Ben was never NOT in love with Camelia, and is kicking himself for ever making the decision to leave her alone.
I love when Kimmie calls it, 'So romantic, like Romeo and Juliet'. And it is true, one night Ben climbs through her window, and...Ooops (: Hahaha, sorry (:
All in all, this book is nothing like New Moon, where it's Bella feeling sorry and hating her life (being depressed). Camelia is strong and she's not going down without a fight.
But neither is Ben (:
I <3 it soo much. Laurie makes it so NOT boring, and I always worry that some books aren't meant to be made into series, because the second book is sometimes not as good as the first.
I WAS proven wrong on this one (:
10 STARS!! (:

One Of the BEST BOOKS YET!! Great Love Triangle.

I was counting the days till Deadly Little Lies came out. The Second book of Deadly Little Secrets Series. Once i got a hold of the book, i could not put it down. I read it all in one day. I was very satisfied and kept on wanting more. The plot was one of the best yet. Of couse it was because of the mysterious hottie Ben and his arrival back to school after all what happened between him and Camelia a couple of months back. And since Ben left Camelia. She has felt as if she might have some sort of ability such as Ben's. Feelings come back between Camelia and Ben but it doesnt last long. Is there somethings hes not telling us? The plot thickens when Ben and Camelias relationship has fallen and incomes Adam the new guy working with her. Becoming this love traingle between Camelia and the two guys she finds interesting. Though strange things are happening to her giving her untrusting feeling between the guys. Is someone lying or it is someone else wanting to become in the loop? Who can she belive? I Enjoyed this book so much ill be counting the days till Deadly Little Games comes out!!

Deadly Little Lies

I love this series! My favorite part about Laurie Faria Stolarz's writing style is the short chapters. I'm the type of reader that cannot stop mid chapter and with the shorter chapters I can read even more in a small amout of time. I did not see the twist in this book coming at all. I thought Adam was the one messing with Camelia then thought maybe Ben did a 180 but I thought that was too obvious. I cannot wait until Deadly Little Games comes out!!! I recommend this book to everyone. Especially for the summer! If you're at the beach to just lounging outside, it's a quick and easy entertaining read.

Creepy Stalkers and a Romance to Die For...Literally

Deadly Little Lies picks up where Deadly Little Secret left off. Camelia is dealing with what happened with her stalker at the end of the first book and having Ben leave town. Her family is slowly recuperating, but there's still a lot of unresolved issues between Camelia's mother and her aunt Alexia. Ben's return to town and school complicates Camelia's life because he is so standoffish and distant. Her attempts at moving on with new guy Adam are hindered by Ben's obvious jealousy and ...more Deadly Little Lies picks up where Deadly Little Secret left off. Camelia is dealing with what happened with her stalker at the end of the first book and having Ben leave town. Her family is slowly recuperating, but there's still a lot of unresolved issues between Camelia's mother and her aunt Alexia. Ben's return to town and school complicates Camelia's life because he is so standoffish and distant. Her attempts at moving on with new guy Adam are hindered by Ben's obvious jealousy and unwillingness to fully let her go. Camelia also begins hearing voices and creating premonition-like sculptures. On top of Camelia's newfound talent, she is once again faced with stalkerish notes and threatening phone calls.

I was more than happy to read Deadly Little Lies because I really enjoyed the first. The story was well-paced and flowed easily. The dialogue was once again fantastic, witty, and smart. The whole diary entry backstory that was introduced in the first book continues here from another perspective. Stolarz was once again able to make the stalker aspect of the story incredibly creepy, while countering it with Camelia's and Ben's complicated and sizzling relationship. The introduction of Adam may upset some readers, but I liked him as a character. He adds more tension to the story and forces Camelia to deal with all of her Ben issues. Camelia's possibly developing psychic powers is also quite interesting and I'm excited to see where that goes in the series.

The story focuses on Camelia being stalked again and as much as I enjoyed that aspect of the plot, it felt overdone. Deadly Little Secret was all about Camelia's stalker and Ben's involvement and I felt like Deadly Little Lies was about the exact same thing. Camelia is being stalked, Ben is still mysterious and a possible suspect, and Camelia still has very strong feelings for him. The only difference was that the stalker notes were more intense this time around and they were accompanied by more threatening phone calls. The stalker plotline wasn't even what really kept me completely drawn to the book, it was the story within the diary. I have a feeling Stolarz will delve more into that in the next book though, so I won't spoil anything here.

The book was by no means bad, but I think it some things could have been done differently. I wish Ben had more dimension. He is presented as being sexy and mysterious. People don't understand him, so we don't know that much about him, but I think at this point, we need to. Camelia feels so strongly about him, but we don't really know him. Aside from telling Camelia about Julie, we know nearly nothing.

Kimmie and Wes are back again to lighten the mood, but they seem to have no purpose other than to do that. They both have their own family issues that are talked about a bit, so I hope there's a payoff with that. Oftentimes minor characters have no purpose, but to advance the plot and I hope Kimmie and Wes don't fall into that category.

The Truth About The Lies.

Deadly Little Lies is a fasinating and intriguing story that has fully captured me. This story holds a mysterious and courious world that I feel comfortable in, an examle is Camelia's work place Knead. I would love to live in the world Laurie Faria Stolarz has created, except due to the fact of all the pranks and stalkers it holds within it. I am intrigued by just how much hate and anger a person can hold inside of them, resulting in revenge. Deadly Little Lies was the begining of this story, and now with fully reading Deadly Little Lies, I feel as though I am a part of the world Laurie has created; it felt as though as I was read/watching a movie through my eyes. And I would fully reconmend it to many others.

Thriller Series

Laurie Faria Stolarz's writing is simply amazing. She really knows how to put you on the edge of your seat. You must read the first one before this book though cause otherwise you will just be confused. The realism in her characters help you relate which will make you feel like one of them. This is defintly a good read.

Almost the same story line as the first book

The first book of this series was really good. The second book was not as great. I do enjoy the two best friends to the main character, they are funny. The problem I had with the second book is that it felt really repetitive of the first book. It talked more about the main character's own psychic abilities and made great references to her aunt (although it doesn't really explain why in this book that you are reading about her aunt). I still look forward to the third book but hope that it doesn't have the same story line of someone stalking and leaving notes for the main character again.

Deadly Little Lies

In the second book of this series there were a lot of mysterious, suspenseful events that happened. The whole time you're reading it, you cannot put it down. All of the sudden your reading and you get suspicious about something or another event will happen and you just have to know something else so you keep reading! It might be slow for the first thirty pages but it picks up really fast after that. My favorite character is Ben because he is so confusing and he just adds to the whole effect of suspense because it makes you think all different things about him!

Overall, I think this book was really good and anyone who likes suspenseful books should read Deadly Little Lies. I also recommend Deadly Little Secrets which was the first book in this series. I couldn't put that one down either. I'm so glad there's another book after Deadly Little Lies in this series because I'm definitely going to read it.

this book was a disapoint ment kind of boring could have been be

this book was a disapoint ment kind of boring could have been better i love the first 1 i gave it 5 stars. but this 1 wasnt as exciting sorry

Not as good as the first one

It is really unrealistic that she gets phychometry powers all the sudden. Anyone else feel that way?

Best Book Ever!(:

Definantly recomend to everyone! I've only read books 1 and 2 but when I did, I just couldnt put them down! (: :)

Amanzing

Such an amazing book u have to read this read it only if u read the first one

Repetative

It was alright. The second book is sooo much like the first book that it just fell flat for me. I think the author spent too much time trying to build suspense for the first 180 pages that it was very ineffective. The last 20 pages were the only exciting part of the book. It really could have had more substance. I didnt mind the first book, but I def. wont be reading the rest of the serious.
