Justice (Deck of Lies #1)

by Jade Varden

Overview

A House of Cards...

When you build an entire life on a foundation of lies, it only takes one truth for the whole thing to come crashing down. I never invited the truth in. I never went searching for it. I never had any reason to suspect that the two people I loved most were dishonest with me every second of every day.

I made one bad decision, and in a single day my entire world changed. If I'm ever going to discover the truth about myself and my parents, I have to trace all the lies back to their source. I have to try to find the truth that they�re hiding.

The more I discover about myself, and my past, the more I realize that lies really are better than the truth. But now that I know the lies are all around me, I can�t stop until I�ve discovered them all. I�ll pull each lie away, one by one, and examine it to see what�s underneath�until this house of cards crumbles into dust at my feet.

I just hope I can survive the crash.

Editorial Reviews

Justice is a really great read. In fact, it surprised me how good it was and how quickly I got hooked on it...Overall, a well written YA mystery � good pace and enough action to keep you reading (I read pretty much in one sitting) � look forward to seeing where this goes.

Goodreads - Melanie Cusick-Jones

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Justice. It had almost everything I like in a YA novel and was damn engrossing. I seriously couldn't put it down once I started reading it. All the characters were nice and the story as a whole was amazing!

... I am not a big fan of YA mystery books so I was a little hesitant at first but I'm so, so glad I got a chance to read such a wonderful story! There were many surprise elements neatly tucked into the story and just the right amount of romance in it.

"Justice" was a fun read that kept me guessing throughout story. When I thought I had it figured out another twist was thrown in. Look back at your childhood and think you had it bad, read this book your life will take on a new perspective! Justice took me into the life of what I thought would be your typical teenage girl only to learn that not only do I not know who she is, but neither does she! I get to follow her through her journey of discovery and Varden writes it well.

Amazon - Karen Stillwagon

Jade Varden's "Justice" tells us a story of a funny, smart, and pretty young girl who earns a scholarship at an exclusive school where she runs into the expected cliques, mean girls, and spoiled rich kids. But that is as typical as this book gets. When the family she knew as her own crumbles around her, this story of high school angst turns into an intriguing mystery that I didn't want to put down until the end.

Justice is brilliantly written.

Amazon - Pedro Alvarez

I have just finished the book and as soon as I finish writing this I will be finding the next in the series.

Jade Varden has completely sucked me into this story she is weaving.

What could oh so easily have been just another fish out of water story full of trite and tired clich� is instead a well thought out and cleverly written page turner.

...Jade Varden is an excellent storyteller with a deft hand at flowing prose. The story is compelling and interesting.
