I love it when a series reels you in, keeps you engaged and leaves you wanting more.  The First Lie (Selkie Moon Mystery Series) by Virginia King does just that. It kept me wondering who the mysterious lady in the mirror was and what connection she had to Selkie.The story begins with Selkie in Hawaii having just moved away from Australia, a broken marriage and a hatefull step mom. She leaves to make a fresh start for herself, to build a new career creating and presenting business seminars. A series of events leads her to meet her new roommate and best friend Wanda and office mate Derek.  After  months of hard work and nothing to show for it, she finally lands a 2 day, 20 person contract but with the un-nerving events happening to her, she struggles to get it written in time. Towards the end of the presentation she finds herself in a trance, her flow becoming  incredibly smooth and by the end of the day she finds herself so exhausted that she faints. Just as she is about to hit the floor, Lester Sloan a high powered business man, catches her.  He asks her out to dinner with the offer of a contract to create and present seminars to his company and it's then, perhaps, that the reader gets a hint of romance.The book was a pleasure to read and I highly recommend it to all who like a bit of the suppernatural, some mystery and a taste of sweet romance... With more to come in the next book of the series.
