Today, I am teaming up with Innovative Online Book Tours to bring you one of the a fun and fantastic read, Circle of Lies.Circle of Lies is a delightful YA paranormal romance by Sara Daily and Staci Weber. The second in the Red Ridge Pack, Circle of Lies follows brand-new werewolf Adien Wright. Adien is having one heck of a time. In the past few weeks, he has found out his true identity, moved to New Mexico, been involved in a vicious right to save his sister and uncovered some major family secrets.Now, unsuspecting Teagan Rhodes has wandered into his life. Teagan resists advances from Adien based upon his involvement with the popular crowd. Dubbed "The Beautiful People," the popular kids have hurt Teagan before.The problem is Adien and Teagan are meant to be, and alone their secrets threaten to destroy.This book was fantastic! While I adore fun, YA paranormal series, I haven't gotten into one about werewolves. Weber and Daily have crafted this lush world, with a community of complex, believable characters. I had no trouble believing in the pack dynamics.Adien is my favorite type of romantic hero. He is sexy, strong but flawed, vulnerable. Teagan is the perfect foil for his ladies man attitude. With her, he breaks down, he allows real emotions to lead his heart and his actions. Teagan is strong, witty, kind abs as little scared. The characters are what made this story so wonderful. Daily and Weber write with such clarity and poise, you can't help but cheer for them.The authors also capture the frenetic pace of high school romance. It is full of action, emotion and juicy details that keep you coming back for more. While romance is at the forefront of Circle of Lies, the novel is rich and layered.As if falling in love in high school was not dangerous enough, Teagan has to deal with the fact that her boyfriend is a werewolf and  being stalked by a psycho killer. Fans of paranormal romance will love this book. I, for one, cannot wait to go by the first Red Ridge Pack novel.Disclaimer: I was gifted a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
