High school junior Allison has been having a hard time at school. Friends have suddenly turned into strangers, girls are accusing her of trying to steal their boyfriends, and she's been getting into fights. Is Allison out of control or is it something else?With the Wright family, the answer is definitely something else. Over dinner Allison and her older brother Aiden find out their mom is a werewolf. Yep, inbetween the peas and mashed potatoes, these two teens discover that they too will be just like mom. Who knew DNA and family genetics could be so paranormal?I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book when I first began. Finding it slighty angsty and humorous, it was Allison and her family's funny lines that made me chuckle. Before I knew it I was sitting back, engulfed, and entertained by Pack Of Lies. With the teens dealing with pheromones and rising body temperatures, remaining in Texas is no longer possible. The family moves to Red Ridge, New Mexico to join a pack. But problems are just beginning for Allison when she sees Cade, very hot, soon to be the Alpha, and spoken for. Throw in a ticked off and jealous girlfriend, Kendall, and pack life becomes a drama queen's playground. as Kendall does what she can--even if it's aligning herself with outsider wolves--in order to stay by Cade's side and get rid of Allison.The writing is smooth, the pacing rises and dips, and a few surprises are thrown in to keep one's eyes trained on the page for Part One. And then things change in Part Two and some characters (especially Cade) came across as weak. When the emphasis should be on the growth of these characters, I found the pacing increased and the fleshing out of the individuals dips. As a reader I love action but I also need growth to make me believe and the lack of these things made me rate this story at three stars instead of higher. Still promising, Pack of Lies introduces us to new teen wolves and a pack that is less than welcoming. Werewolf fans may want to check out this series for themselves.
