Book Blogger/Reviewer: Blog Tour: I Know Lucy by Melissa Pearl│Giveaway and Review

Genre: YA Romantic Suspense

Lucy Tate is on the run. After witnessing the brutal murder of her parents, she's spent five years in hiding -- taking on different personas and faking her way through life. The authorities can't be trusted, so she remains in the shadows, always one beat ahead of the man who is forever hunting her. That is, until she meets Zach Schultz, a senior at Monte Vista High and the one guy she can’t bear to leave. Suddenly her natural instincts to lie, steal, and run are overshadowed by something else...the desire to stay. It’s her one shot at a normal life.

Curious by nature, Zach is immediately drawn to the new girl at school. How can a person look both confident and vulnerable all in the same moment? Determined to learn more about her, he tries to get close, but is thrown into a world of lies and confusion .The only thing that becomes apparent is that discovering the truth may get him killed.

~Zach~

"This is different, you guys." I shook my head. "I mean yes, she is gorgeous. And yes, I'm attracted to her, but it's not just her looks. There's something about her. She's intriguing. It's like she's not all she appears to be or something.

"You can tell after two minutes of interacting with her? Give me a break." Elliot balled up his napkin and threw it on the table.

" I know I don't know her at all yet, but I can tell there's something more there." I rubbed my bottom lip.

"She looks normal to me" AJ shrugged.

"I think she's pretty. She looks sweet, but..." Liesl turned to spy her quickly. "AJ's right. She looks like any other transfer student. What makes her so different?"

"It's something about her eyes. There's a story in them. I can't even explain why I think that. I just feel like she's got a lot of layers and I want to peel back every single one of them."

"I bet you do." Elliot raised his eyebrows.

"Not like that." I threw him a droll look. "I just want to solve the mystery that is Danielle Harrison."

"Dude, there is no mystery." Elliot slapped his hand lightly on the table.

"Yes there is, I can feel it."

"Careful, Zachy, your Nancy Drew is showing." Jaeda's green eyes were large and round as she gave me a playful look.

"I don't care." I shrugged, confident in the truth that I really didn't. "That girl over there has secrets and I'm going to figure out what they are."

♥My Review♥

This is the first of Melissa Pearl's books that I have had the pleasure to read. I really enjoyed it and here are some of the reasons why you should read it too!

This story grabs you right away, drawls you into the lives of the characters, told from multiple points of view, and you go on an exciting and scary journey with them.

When you read a book, you typically will try to put yourself in the characters situation by default. The situation are just as terrifying as it can get. When the situations that the characters get themselves into, which are at times dangerous and terrifying, it makes the journey with them mean so much more. You get a attached with the characters and they become a part of you and you think about them long after your journey with them has ended or, paused for that matter. That is what you get when you read I Know Lucy.

There characters are very relatable and you find yourself caring for their well being and it almost breaks your heart how certain situations start this train reaction and the situations these characters find themselves in just to survive.

There is action, romance, horrific situations and all the feels. The writing is beautiful and flows very well. It's definitely a page turner and leaves you wanting more.

I gave this ♥♥♥♥♥ out of ♥♥♥♥♥ on Goodreads and highly recommend this book.
