Picture  Perfect
I actually liked this one a lot more than the first one. True that this series is a lot like the Twilight series. But the Twilight series didn't have the whole stalker thing? For some reason, I like the stalker thing. Unlike last time, I totally didn't know that it was blankity blank who was the stalker. Surprise, surprise, surprise...

I still kind of hate Camelia because she never learns from her mistakes the first time. Oh, she's an idiot. But at least, she's an okay narrator. I think I like th...more

There is just something about this series that makes me plow through the books like there is no tomorrow. Camelia is far from my favorite main character out of the books I've read, though her little back up team, Kimmie and Wes are some of my favorite side-kick characters. They're both very interesting and quirky, and Wes reminds me a lot of Adam from the Mediator series by Meg Cabot and I LOVE Adam in that series.

Anyway, this book was thrilling, though not as spine-tingling as the first book....more

This book definitely had me spooked, especially since I would read it at night alone in my apartment. Once again, Camelia is being stalked. There are eerie messages and phone calls to leave the reader guessing as to the culprit's identity. And there are some really good twists--such as the journal entries we get. I have to say that the journal entries were one of the most intriguing parts of the story. They really added to the overall mystery of the book and gets you excited for the next one. So...more

BOOK BUTTERFLY
Deadly Little Lies, the sequel to the first book in the series, Deadly Little Secret, definitely lives up to its promise of more suspense, romance and plot twists. Laurie Faria Stolarz really knows how to construct an elaborate plot to flow with such ease, and continuously keep you on the edge of your seat with the mystery and romance of the narrative. Starting a few months after Ben leaves Camelia's life, the story immediately takes off with a burst of heart pounding action that just keeps on r...more

I just recently started to read these books, and I must say that they're perfect if you're just looking for a quick read to pass the time. All books so far are no more than about 230 pages. I read this second one in not even a full day. However, they're still good books, I found the second one probably better than the first. It's very suspenseful and puzzling, and also entertaining. I feel like Kimmie and Wes had more character and personality than the main one herself. I find it extremely frust...more

I wouldn't say it was as good as the first one,l but I didn't expect the person behind the stalking this time! So yeah, a little more mysterious and unpredictable.
I also loved Adam.. Not as much as Ben but oh yeah he is a little dreamy :)

And it was a nice way to mix it up!

Im really beginning to love Camelia's friends theirs genuine, loveable and very supportive. You have to love Wes and Kimmie!

But Ben.. Well therell have to be something wrong with you not to have some sort of attraction to hi...more

Ok, so this is a bit of a YA/teen book but, none the less, I read it as it was the second book in the series and I really liked it. I liked it better than the first book.

Ben is back, Camelia meets Adam, there are parts of a journal/diary entry (which it was pretty easy to figure that one out by the names listed). Could Camelia happen to possess the same ability as Ben? Will Camelia go back to Ben or will Adam have her heart?

Wes and Kimmie are also featured in this book but in minor roles. Also i...more

I really enjoyed this book, its suspensful and fun at the same time. I also like how the author acknowledges just how cruel pranks can be in high school and how the administration does turn a blind eye sometimes. I also like that Ben is pretty much a normal kid, besides the psychometry. He isn't superfast or superstrong or immortal or anything like that, so his helping Camelia is much more significant, because he really is putting himself in danger. It also puts Ben and Camelia on much more equa...more

his book was so much better than the first. The mystery and intrigue gets better and better throughout the book, and towards the end I had no idea who was the bad guy. Camelia is still being secretive with her parents, some thing I'd hoped she'd get over. But her parents have enough on their plate with Aunt Alexia being in hospital, then wanting to meet with Camelia's mum finally.
Kimmie and Wes prove to be true friends still but I was surprised how little they helped Camelia out. Apart from scho...more

Ben has been out of Canelia's life for the past few months but he has never been far from her thoughts. However, along with her broken heart Camilia has been dealing with some very strange occurrences. This has led Camelia to wonder if it is at all possible that Ben's gift of psychometry could of been somehow transferred to herself, the alternative being that she going crazy. But at this point she is not sure which is worse.

Finally Ben has returned and Camelia could not be more happier, even if...more

Some Deadly Little Secret (Touch Book 1) spoilers, so be cautious.

At the end of the first Touch series, mysterious loner Ben was leaving town after saving Camelia from her stalker ex, who planned the old "You will grow to love me" kidnapping ploy. To her credit, Camelia doesn't pull a Bella Swan and go completely catatonic.

A lot of focus in Deadly Little Lies is on Camelia's sudden development of psychometric powers of her own. She's doing psychic sculptures, which sounds ridiculous because it...more

The book Deadly Little Lies is a sequel of the book Deadly Little Secret. The book leaves off with Camelia and her friends in the beginning of the story. After Ben had left, she begins to research Ben's "power" called Psychometry. When Ben and Camelias' relationship begin to take the next step, she decides to break it off with him because he was avoiding any contact with her. Then, Camelia meets a new guy named Adam at her job. They begin dating and started to get closer with each other. However...more

I first came across this when searching the internet looking for my next read and this is what I came across. I really enjoyed the first in the series Deadly Little Secret and this is the second one. I loved how the book carries on from the first book really well, I found it really easy to get back into the story after taking a little while to get round to reading this installment.

I loved the character of Camelia as she seemed like she was still not over what had happened previously and she was...more

**Spoiler**I gave this 2 stars. It was okay. It appeals to me that Camelia is an artist working in clay and that she has a budding talent in that arena. She is still having difficulty getting over Ben (in an angst of emotion regarding him). She tries to move on by becoming involved with this college student, Adam, who is new in their town and happens to work at "Kneads" Pottery shop where she works part time. So, there is that love triangle with Camelia, Ben and Adam but for some reason and I'm...more

Since this is my second time reading one of Stolarz's books, I was pretty acquainted with her type of writing. Yet, she continues to amaze me with her use of adjectives and creative writing style--descriptive, but not too detailed. The tale was alluring. I couldn't get enough.

The writing was unbelievable--as was the plot line. Stolarz adds her own special touch to the often used love triangle, throwing secretive pasts and mysterious lies into play. I was captivated throughout. The characters wer...more

For this book, i have five rules. Number 1: Trust no one. Number 2: Don't make any assumptions. Number 3: Try not to scream. Number 4: Don't believe anyone. And Number Five: Stolarz kicks ass.


I was blown away by this novel, even more so than by Deadly Little Secret. It sucks you in from the first page, and is very difficult to put down until the end. Stolarz was fabulous at displaying Camelia's fears, and that made the book even easier to get into. The story starts off with action, builds up a t...more

The story is the second installment in Stolarz's touch series and it was a nice, interesting read. We're introduced to Camelia again trying to live life after the horrific incident that happened to her a few months back (read Deadly Little Secrets) and the fact that Ben left. Soon things start to turn interesting while Camelia works on her pottery and starts to hear voices and sees things. Then Ben comes back into her life and the tension begins with them fighting their feelings for each other....more

Plot:

So the plot of Deadly Little Lies...It's...Ugh, I should just go ahead and say it, unoriginal.

The plot of this book is basically a lame version of the Pretty Little Liars books. You can see the resemblance: Stalker, sending threatening notes, written by red pen... Except that this stalker is much more lame then any of the "A"s, he/she hardly ever leaves a note, and when he/she did, it was usually the same message: "you're dead", "you're next",...more

Der 2. Teil der "touch" Serie. Passend zum Thema "Berühren/ Fühlen" hat man für diese Reihe eine Cover-Oberfläche gewählt, die eine besondere Haptik hat, auch sind die Buchstaben darauf leicht erhaben. Sehr schön auch die Textgestaltung, weite Zeilenabstände machen das Lesen einfach etwas angenehmer.
3 Monate sind vergangen, seit Camelia entführt wurde. Ben ist endlich wieder an der Schule, nachdem sie sich endlich näher gekommen waren, hatte er die Stadt verlassen, um Abstand zu den Anschuldigun...more

I enjoyed Deadly Little Secrets just as much as the first book. It had just enough suspense to keep you guessing (but not the type of suspense I'd really call scary) and of course drama and romance. Throwing a budding romance with new guy Adam into the mix and another stalker kept things interesting. I love how the other conveyed so much nervous-awkward tension between Camelia and Ben. The whole book you can't wait got the tension to break and for them to just give into their feelings for each o...more

I was first introduced to Laurie Faria Stolarz in the Blue is for Nightmares series. The first book in the series I was only lukewarm about. The second, I enjoyed more, and I'm looking forward to finishing up that series (especially since the rest of the books are in a pile on my office floor). Based on a student recommendation, I picked up the Touch series. Wow! That's all I can say. These novels are unputdownable. (And I really like that my students are usually right about good YA - Twilight b...more

Pasted from an angry Facebook comment that I posted:

She put a nice twist in there with the Ben/Adam thing, I must say. Though I kind of suspected something along those lines.

Other than that I have to rely on the suspense to keep going because the dialogue is SO BAD I WANT TO DIE. Kimmie and Wes get more insufferable every page, as does Ben and Adam and her mom (Strike while the iron is hot) and dad and Alexia's diary entries, as well as her teachers and Spencer. I think that covers everyone. Oh...more

I really like this series and I really like this author. I'm excited to see that she has more books other than this series. Woohoo!
Camelia (for what ever reason it is soooo hard for me to say that name in my head, i usually end up calling her Cam) is not a typical teen, she is a lot more strong willed and not as 'run with the masses' or fluffy headed as a lot of the teens I have ended up having the misfortune of reading about.

Okay, so I was supposed to finish Darcy and Fitzwilliam first before starting to read this one. But I was tempted, and I'm sure you know how mortals are prone to temptation, so... please forgive me, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy?

Deadly Little Lies is the sequel of one of my favourite books, Deadly Little Secret. I had high expectations for it, but the story kind of fall short for me, because the plot was more or less the same as the first book, only with a different villain.

The diary entries by Alexia, Cam...more

“It's after school, after my double detentions for gym and chemistry, and I'm at Knead, about to begin working on a new piece. I wedge the clay out against my board, enjoying the therapeutic quality of each smack, prod, and punch.
As the clay oozes between my fingers and pastes against my skin, images of all sorts begin to pop into my head. I try my best to push them away,to focus instead on the cold and clammy sensation of the mound and the way it helps me relax. But after only a few short minutes of solitude, I hear someone storm their way up the back stairwell. At first I think it's Spencer, but then I hear the voice:
"I'm coming up the stairs," Adam bellows. "I'm approaching the studio area, about to pass by the sink."
I turn to look, noticing he's standing only a few feet behind me now.
"I hope I didn't startle you this time," he says.
"Ha-ha." I hold back my smile.
"I would have called your cell to tell you I was coming up, but you never gave me your number."
"I'm fine," I assure him, unable to stifle a giggle.”

“Okay, now you're starting to scare me," Wes says.
"No, scary is the way people can alter their voices on cue. Like your imitation of that creepy guy who lives at your house."
"You mean my dad?" he laughs.”
