About this listen
A woman with a haunted past. An agent with a dangerous secret. A madman with a twisted sense of revenge.
While honing her gifts as a cold-case consultant with the Dublin Garda, Liv Sullivan uncovers a personal connection to the spirits who seek her help. Faced with a chance to bring peace to the living, rather than the dead, Liv can’t resist. Even if it means working alongside the man who broke her heart.
Special agent Ridge McCaffrey chose duty over desire, a mistake that nearly ended Liv Sullivan’s life. So, when a missing person’s investigation exposes a link to Liv, Ridge vows to bring her home, hoping for a second chance with the bureau’s most valuable asset.
As they rekindle their relationship, an enemy from Ridge’s past looms dangerously close. And when Ridge’s sister is abducted, Liv makes the ultimate sacrifice, placing herself in the crosshairs between a corrupt psychic intelligence operation and an ex-agent with a score to settle.
Can Liv stop a killer before death becomes her only escape?
Inherent Lies is the compelling second book in the Blood Secrets psychological suspense series. If you like flawed heroines and complex plots laced with romance, then you’ll love this second installment of Alicia Anthony’s award-winning thriller series.

He enters the car accompanied by a chill from the evening wind and the car rocks gently, until he’s seated behind me and the door is shut. His scent fills my lungs first and as it does, I remember that I’ve been told that smell is the sense that holds the most memory. Maybe I read it somewhere, but I’ve never known something to be truer than that fact is now.

Some love stories are a slow burn. Others are quick to ignite, scorching, and branding your very soul before you’ve taken that first breath. You’re never given a chance to run from it. That’s how I’d describe what happened to us. Everything around me blurred, and all that existed were his lips, his touch. The chase and the heat between us became addictive.

Couldn’t wait for the next chapter to start. Gallagher made all the characters real. I was sure Liv was dead. Can’t imagine where Inherent Truths is going to end up.

Fun, light supernatural mystery-romance
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
Rebecca Gallagher is an excellent narrator who delivers her reading with energy and thought behind her characterizations. When not 'speaking' in the character's voice, her narration is clear and consistent in tone and pacing. She reflects the author's intent faithfully and finds nuances in the prose and characters to shine.
If you like Laurel K. Hamilton books, this author offers similar complexity in human romance relationships, without supernatural creatures. Just ghosts, psychic powers, nefarious government agents, and murder mysteries for the characters to solve.
