A review by nikki52010
The Lie by Karina Halle
5.0
"She's slowly undoing me, thread by thread. I stare at her in near awe, this wondrous creature who wants to spend time with me. This rare and beautiful being who says I make her happy, maybe as happy as she makes me."
I realized after I wrote this review, how I started it the exact same way as I started my review for They Play. Word for word; that every time I finish a book by Karina, I am left in awe. How can each of her books be just as fantastic as the next? I don't know how she does it, but I hope she never stops!
The Lie is the newest edition to the McGregor boys. We first meet Brigs in The Play, introduced as Lachlan's brother. She gave just enough background that I knew as soon as the book was over, I had to have more of Brigs! So glad she was able to give him a story of his own. Once again though, this is a standalone, so knowledge of the previous books is not necessary at all. You wont miss anything, especially since characters from the first two books are not even mentioned in this one. And Lachlan and Kayla are background characters and Karina will tell you everything you need to know about them in this one.
Now, where to start? Brigs and Natasha's story is sad. It hurts and no one should have to experience the pain that these two went through. This story is about second chances. Getting to fix what was broken the first time.
The prologue starts off in the past, where there is an incident so horrific, it sets the tone for the rest of the story. If the prologue doesn't gut you and suck you in where you can't stop then I don't know what to say. But don't worry, it's not all sad and tears. There is fun times to be had between the two. We get their story alternated between POV's as well as past/present. I love that I got to see their relationship form simultaneously as them trying to rekindle their love in the later years.
It. Can't. Be. Him.
It can't.
And yes it is.
I look back over my shoulder and meet his stunned gaze once more.
Brigs McGregor.
The love of my life.
The love that ruined lives.
One step forward and five million steps back.
I just can't help but to love these two, and I hope that you give Professor Blue Eyes a chance. Oh you didn't know? He's a professor!
