LAST FALL, sixteen-year-old Camelia fell for Ben, the mysterious new boy at school who turned out to have a very mysterious gift - psychometry, the ability to sense the future through touch. But just as Camelia and Ben's romance began to heat up, he abruptly left town. Brokenhearted, Camelia has spent the last few months studying everything she can about pshchometry, and experiencing her own strange brushes with premonition. Camelia wonders if Ben's abilities have somehow rubbed off on her. Can the power of psychometry be transferred?
Even once Ben returns to school, Camelia can't get close enough to share her secret with him. Despite the romantic tension between them, Ben remains aloof, avoiding contact. Then when a series of eerie warnings echoes the threats of last semester-and Ben just withdraws further-Camelia makes the painful decision to let him go, and move on. Adam, the new guy at her after-school job seems good for her in ways Ben wasn't. Adam is easygoing, and really seems to care about her.
But when Camelia and Adam start dating a surprising love triangle results. A chilling sequence of events turns up secrets from Ben's past-and Adam's. Someone is lying, and it's up to Camelia to figure out-who before it's too late
My review:
Deadly Little Lies is the 2nd book in the Touch series. Camelia met Ben last year after he saved her twice. Once from being hit by a car, the second from her stalker ex boyfriend Matt. At the beginning of this book Ben is still gone and Camelia is waiting for him to come back for the 2nd term in school. He does come back right when Camelia starts getting the stalker messages and pictures that she was receiving from Matt. But Matt is in Louisiana and now Ben is back and doesn't want to pick up where things left off with them months ago. Confused by why Ben is acting this way she meets her new co-worker Adam. Adam seems like a very kind guy so she goes with him on a couple dates. (her parents love Adam) But does Adam have a secret of his own? If Matt is in Louisiana who is stalking her now? I liked this book, and now on to Deadly Little Games!
