The Lies That Bind by D. L. Sparks
Urban Books, January 2010
228 Pages, Paperback, $14.95
ISBN:
1601622007
Genre:
Fiction
RAW Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)
Unable to forgive and forget her husband’s infidelity, Dr. Teresa "Terri" McCall embarks on an affair of her own which has dire consequences. Because of her hectic schedule, as a psychologist, at a thriving practice, Terri has little time for her marriage. However, there are other underlying reasons for her nonchalant attitude toward her marriage. Her husband, Donovan, wants his wife back and demands she quit her job. Between the pressure of the job, the demands from her husband, and her inability to let her husband’s affair go, Terri’s life spins out of control.
THE LIES THAT BIND is a book filled with twists and turns at every point. The secondary characters add an exciting element to the story. Terri’s best friend provides reason and sanity to her situation while her lover wreaks havoc. This is not a typical story of infidelity where the affair happens and the parties involved find the truth; here the truth is as shocking as it is revealing.
D. L Sparks paints a very vivid picture in terms of the emotions at play as well as the scenery described. At times the story lagged and the behaviors of the characters were unrealistic, but overall THE LIES THAT BIND is an entertaining read.
