Cassie Scot, still stinging from her parents' betrayal, wants out of the magical world. But it isn't letting her go. Her family is falling apart and despite everything, it looks like she may be the only one who can save them.

About this title

From the Author

This is the second of four Cassie Scot books. If you haven't read Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective, please do! This series is meant to be read in order. In fact, here's the blurb for the first Cassie Scot book:"Cassie Scot is the ungifted daughter of powerful sorcerers, born between worlds but belonging to neither. At 21, all she wants is to find a place for herself, but earning a living as a private investigator in the shadow of her family's reputation isn't easy. When she is pulled into a paranormal investigation, and tempted by a powerful and handsome sorcerer, she will have to decide where she truly belongs."
In this second installment, things are heating up romance-wise between Cassie and Evan. In fact, of the four books, I think this has the most romantic content, with romance and mystery getting equal page time. I truly hope my readers enjoy Secrets and Lies as much as they have been enjoying Cassie Scot: ParaNormal Detective. Thank you all for your support and encouragement.Sincerely,Christine

Review

"...With the aid of the handsome Evan Blackwood, to whom Cassie is attracted despite her family's disapproval and her own better judgment, she follows the trail of the missing girls. What she finds is a dark side of the magical world, and the hidden depths of her family's past force her to reconsider long-held assumptions. The growing complexity of Cassie's world makes this an entertaining installment, focusing as much on the will-they, won't-they romantic chemistry between Cassie and Evan as on the primary mystery..." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Christine Amsden unleashes her brilliant storytelling magic as the adventures of Cassie Scot escalate to the extreme. Rife with betrayal and a debt too deep for money to clear, Secrets and Lies plunges the reader into an utterly believable world where villains and heroes spring lifelike from the pages. Brace for a whirlwind ride of sorcery, romance and knife-edge peril. A truly original urban fantasy. Not to be missed!" ~ Kim Falconer, bestselling author of The Spell of Rosette, Quantum Enchantment Series
