That's a Lie is book two in the Promises, Promises series by Victoria Klahr. After reading That's a Promise I was in awe of the awesomenesss that is Victoria Khlar. Her debut novel seriously impressed me and I didn't know that she would top it. I thought I loved TAP but I loved TAL even more. I will tell you that from page one of TAP i was TeamBlake. And even after that ending, I was still TeamBlake.TAL picks up right where TAP left off, and after the whopper of a cliffhanger I was eager to dive in. I kept waiting for Blake to come back and realize that he made a mistake. But during all that waiting, it was Seth who started to take residence in my heart. For that I have to commend Victoria. I am pretty stubborn, and i don't want to say that I completely switched teams, but for the author to make me feel for someone other than "my" team says a lot about her writing ability. I found myself growing more disgusted by Blake's actions and swooning harder for Seth than I thought possible. Don't get me wrong, I am still hanging on to smidge of hope that Blake will resurface and have his HEA with Josie, but by the end of the book I found myself realizing that Seth was really her soulmate.Josie and Seth have both been through so much. My emotions were all over the place with this book. I hurt for the them and i laughed with them. Again, another testament to the writing ability of Klahr. She has a way with words that makes you feel like you are right there with them. While Josie still grated on my nerves a few times, I was pleasantly surprised with her character development in this book. I think she has come a long way.Klahr left me with me a smile on my face and a happy heart with the last chapter. I might have even gone back and read it a few more times. Just when I thought my emotions were in check, Klahr slaps us in the face with that epilogue that will leave you craving book 3! I can only hope that Josie, Seth, and even Blake get the HEA that they all deserve. Knowing Victoria, it will be one hell of a ride!
