What do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be the one you knew the least?

Twenty-three year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has everything going for her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and a chance to explore the world. What made it even better – or so she thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden. Unable to stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no other, and falls into his world of passion and intrigue. However, things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.

Her trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her, revealing secrets that have been buried for years. Secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will Marissa figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will she be too late and fall into the trap of deception?

I would give this 3.5 stars.
The story was very well written. The title fits perfectly, there is lots of lies and deception going on, but you don't realize the full extent until close to the end.
There were parts were I thought I had things figured out, but then something else would happen to change it.
I did feel like Alec was borderline stalker when he told Marissa about knowing things about her. But she would watch him as well, although she didn't know ANYTHING about him. When they got together, it happened so fast!
We got our HEA, but I still have questions. Like what happened with Emily? Did Marissa ever go home to visit her sister? Do the girls move as planned?

It was a well written story, and very good read; yet there was just something that made me not love it. And I am not sure what that was
