“The opening chapter of “The Liar's Tale” signals what is to come and then author Andre Coleman "soft peddles" (my emphasis) the character for a while. Then Scott Hampton is catapults into a surreal nightmare with several well-executed twists as a result of his lies.
Scott lies so many times that he cannot remember them all, that is until they all come back to haunt him, one horrifying event after another. Scott says in the novel, “So many lies, they were too hard to keep track of. Every time one of them came true, it shocked me.” That’s the core of this paranormal story.
Who is the person who allows these lies to come true, knowing they will kill his soul and affect his mind? I was left wheeling from sequence to sequence; never knowing what was to come next. The author knows his facts in the prison sequence and in the courtroom. Tough love is definitely a part of these scenes, not preaching, just telling truths.
You could say Scott’s lies put him on the bridge to nowhere. (Patron the pun.) I vowed after reading ‘A Liar's Tale” that I'd never lie again, not even a little white one. This novel shook me! Andre Coleman is an excellent writer—his product is right up there with the best paranormal fiction on today’s market. I give it 5 stars. Visit Andre Coleman at http://www.razor7.com/books/
