(14)Her Dark Lies by J.T. Ellison

 

Claire Hunter is on the verge of having all of her dreams come true, but just days before Claire and her fiance, Jack Compton, are supposed to leave for the Compton's private island off the coast of Italy for their wedding, a man breaks into their home and Claire kills him in self-defense. Claire and Jack are cleared of any wrongdoing and hope to put the event behind them so they can celebrate their nuptials with close friends and family. But once they get to the island, it is clear to Claire that the forces are working against them. Somebody out there wants to ruin their wedding, and maybe worse. Will Claire and Jack make it to the altar?

Her Dark Lies was the first book by J.T. Ellison that I have read. It was a fast-paced read with a rather high body count.  Claire Hunter was hiding a lot of secrets, but she wasn't the only one. Jack Compton and his family were the pure definitions of "entitled rich elitist." I really got the vibe that they were all jerks. Including Jack. I loved the atmospheric setting of the island. It created this gothic-vibe that I appreciate in novels. I wasn't all that surprised by the "twist." It was predictable but did not ruin the book for me. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS. 

Bottom Line - I enjoyed Her Dark Lies enough that I will definitely go back and read some backlist for J.T. Ellison.
