Black Lies- Alessandra Torre

Oh My God. 

That's the first thing I said after I finished this book. Oh My God. I wasn't expecting that! This book probably will stay in my mind for a loooong time. 

Let's start with Lana. She is a rich woman with rich parents with the typical expectations for her: marrying with a rich man and be the trophy wife. But she doesn't want that and at 25 she drives away from her parents but comes back after some time and then she meets Bran

Bran is a genius billionaire tech who loves Lana, adores Lana. He wants to marry her and she refuses four times ( Four??? How someone could refuse someone like him?) And that's why I had trouble understanding her relationship with Lee. 

Lee, Lee, Lee... What I'm gonna do with you? Sexy, confident and cocky Lee... At first I could see why Lana could be attracted to him but she ends up loving him. And she also loves Bran. But, because of Bran being this awesome guy, how could she love another man? 

At first I was thinking okay this is another novel with a girl that loves two guys and then maybe she has to decide with which one she stays bla bla bla. But Holy Moly! I love good books that make you thing they're going in a way you expect but then they turn completely away from the path you thought they were going. 

When that happened all clicked and I understood everything. How could she love two guys, how she couldn't let go from both of them, why she declined the four marriage proposals . I understood why sometimes you do crazy stupid things for love. I saw raw and intense love. The kind of love which every girl wants to expirience. 

Like I said earlier, this book will be with me for a long long time. I loved everything about it and i'll recomend it to a lot of my friends, just to share this amazing written love story. Thank you Alessandra Torre for writting this book, for making a love story that will probably be stuck in my mind forever.

The authorities are keen to cover it up, but they know they can’t achieve total closure whilst English robotics engineer, Ben Anderson, remains in possession of a powerful image. An image, which suggests the Great Pyramid at Giza was not built by ancient Egyptians. What the Egyptian authorities don’t know is that unless the true meaning behind the image can be established, along with other images which will later surface, the future of mankind will face the most serious threat imaginable. Anderson manages to escape Egypt at the earliest opportunity, together with his astrophysicist girlfriend, Samantha Gibson, but the authorities are quickly on their tail when it becomes evident they have arrested the wrong person. Keen to establish who really built the Pyramids, Anderson seeks to gain additional proof to support his theory. As he and Gibson begin to discover a series of seemingly disparate clues, they soon realise that everything is far from straightforward. Whilst seeking additional resources, Gibson is unwittingly embroiled in the internal politics of the US military, with the result that she becomes a pawn in a vicious power struggle involving a corrupt senior officer. Her path crosses that of an ex-lover and her relationship with Anderson stretches to breaking point. As Anderson begins to see Gibson from a totally different perspective, his focus changes, and he pushes himself well beyond the limits of his comfort zone in an attempt to discover the truth. Gibson is now prepared to do anything to fulfil a lifetime ambition, but as her objective becomes almost within her grasp a virulent virus threatens to stop her . . . and Anderson has the antidote . . . together with a totally different agenda.
