About this audiobook
A winner of the Golden Gateway, Readers' Choice, and Daphne du Maurier awards, CJ Lyons writes relationship-focused suspense novels under the apt banner "Thrillers with Heart." After the deranged lunatic who murdered Sarah Durandt's husband and son is executed, Sarah returns to her home in the Adirondacks in hopes of achieving some measure of closure. But once there, Sarah is forced to face a nightmarish possibility. The wrong man may have been sent to his death, and the killer of her loved ones may be hunting for a new victim.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sarah Durandt had gone to Texas to watch a man die, but she did so in the hope that he would - at the end - tell her where he had buried her husband and son two years before.But in that, as with quite a few things and people in her life, things are not quite as they seem.Not Alan Easton, a lawyer pretending to be her friend and admirer, but doing so under very false pretenses. Not Samuel Durandt, the husband she still loves, thinks is dead, but is more than he seems. Not Hal Waverly, the Hopewell, NY sheriff who she thought she knew. And not Jack Logan, FBI Special Agent in Charge, who was in charge of the Damian Wright - the man Sarah had gone to see executed for killing boys - case.As things come to light and seeming ghosts reappear, not knowing who to trust can leave both Sarah and Sam dead.This is my first read of Ms. Lyons' works and my initial reaction to the story was (and continues) to be a little speechlessly star-struck.Sarah is grieving what she believes to be a double tragedy, but has a spine of steel that lets her carry on in spite of it. She knows when to bend instead of breaking, but is, at the same time, stubborn.Hal Waverly has also known loss, and carries on as well, but differently. In a lot of ways, he is still the man Sarah has known for a lot of years, but has a secret that he doesn't want known.Sam Durandt tries to do things to the best of his ability, but they don't always work out exactly as he planned them. He knows his own shortcomings, but keeps on going.Aside from the story's tempo, action, and timing, I really enjoyed the characterization. All of the characters - the good, the bad, and the ugly - are people that the reader may know, may want to know, or (as in the case of someone like Damian Wright) may hope to never come across in any capacity.This is the kind of story I like to read and look forward to reading more of CJ Lyons' books.(Crossposted to Lily's Reviews, Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, and Goodreads.)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I rarely give out 5 stars to any book that's not classic literature, but Blind Faith by CJ Lyons is the exception.This is a book for those who like non-stop, heart pounding action in their reading material. The twists and turns will have you gasping for air. 4 villains and 2 female protagonists keep your interest high as the story moves along at bullet speed. I was totally exhausted reading the last quarter of this high-octane suspense. CJ Lyons writes a terrific tale of murder and mayhem that is easy to read and enjoy. Just make sure you don't have any other plans as you steamroll your way through Blind Faith.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5This debut novel started out as a great read, but the farther I went with it, the more suspension of belief was required until finally i began laughing at the ridiculousness of the plot. I wouldn't recommend this.
