PRAISE FOR LOVE LOST ADVENTURE: THE LIE FIVE 5-star reviews from Readers' Favorite 1. "The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo is a story of many plots, all gradually threading together. This is an awesome story told by a master storyteller. It's a mixture of romance, history, murder, mystery, and adventure, with a good dash of humor thrown in for good measure." -- Anne-Marie Reynolds 2. "Gargiulo's characters are richly developed, and their deep connections evoke a range of emotions, taking readers from laughter to tears at the turn of a page." -- K.C. Finn 3. "It's all fun and games until somebody ends up in an incinerator! When I first picked up The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo, I admit I thought it would be a pretty standard young adult love story. The formula model is usually some combination of girl chasing boy, girl meeting new boy, girl has a choice to make. Gargiulo threw a spanner into that theory, crafting the ancient Blood & Bones Society and, while far less important, putting characters in shady places like at The Fat Black Pussycat, which is brilliant enough to be a band name." -- Jamie Michele 4. "The alternating perspectives from several characters provided transitions that built suspense. The sudden twists in the plot made it unpredictable, and I was on edge as I read each page." -- Stephanie Chapman 5. "People will do crazy things for love and there is no better example of this than Love Lost Adventure: The Lie by Roseann Gargiulo. The characters were all quirky and unique and added something to the plot. This is a wonderfully written book and I enjoyed every bit of it.
