Legacy of Lies Book

I fell in love with the original Love Inspired series when I was working in a call center and they were quite common like flies in a kitchen. Unfortunately these suspense ones weren't so common so this would have to be the first one for me and it was a bit disappointing while I hope others aren't like it.

The writing was easy and mostly frank but it also felt that parts were trying too hard like Rich trying to change Nicole's mind, him always saving her starting when she was a girl and the ultimate need to bring down a bad founding family that's unknowingly corrupting the whole community. As such parts could only be deemed cliched while most of the characters including the protagonists were quite bland.

What really caught my attention is that even though this is suppose to be a Love Inspired book it didn't feel like one. Christian elements were only occasionally sprinkled in just to remind the reader what type of book it should have been or everything was pinned on Rich. The whole original thought that Nicole was facing a trial of faith due to her misfortunes didn't really make it into the story besides a paragraph or two then magically she was cured at a funeral and thus became the instrumental key to fix the biblical riddles.

All in all it definitely isn't a Love Inspired book I would recommend to other readers who enjoy the non-suspense collection of books.
