Publisher's Summary:

There are three kinds of lies: Lies, damned lies, and prophecy.

Kim thought majoring in divination would prepare her for the future. But even with her foresight warning her of trouble, shes taken by surprise when an unknown force attacks Julian, her enigmatic classmate and friend. Her gifts cant protect him against further attacks and an inexplicable string of disappearances . . . and if shes reading the omens right, Julian isnt the only one in danger.

Kim knows she isn't ready for this. But if she wants to save Julian - and herself - she'll have to prove her own prophecies wrong.

Editorial Reviews:

Even at a cozy liberal arts college where kids are studying such odd courses as divination and ceremonial magic, the visions that begin to haunt Kim seem way out of the ordinary. And when mysterious forces attack her friend Julian, Kim realizes something much darker than her visions is afoot. Marie Brennan's Lies and Prophecy is an exciting audiobook that follows young Kim as she tries to navigate her skills of foresight to save Julian and herself from the dark forces that are overtaking the campus. Performed with a sharp and energetic delivery from veteran Julia Farhat, this is a captivating story for teens and adults alike.

Beginnings

I really enjoyed this book and really hope that the next is as good. The prequel was great and I bought the next two books. Can't wait to read the next installment.

Enjoyable fantasy

I enjoy fantasy books. This book was very good from the beginning. I wanted to keep reading to find out what happens next. My only complaint about the book was the overuse of expletives. I really did not think any of them added anything to the story. Less would be better. I look forward to reading the next book.

Five Stars

loved the books. nice character development and good story line.

I wasn't satisfied

This review has been crossposted from my blog at The Cosy Dragon.com. Please head there for more in-depth reviews by me, which appear on a timely schedule.

Kim is majoring in divination, but it doesn't mean her life is clear cut. There's signs that things aren't going smoothly, but with no way to turn, and piles of college work, Kim doesn't really have enough time to devote to her budding romance as well

I really liked the beginning pages and opening chapters of this novel. They drew me in, and kept my interest up. This hints and things were exactly as you should set up a novel. However The middle of the text felt like it was dragging somewhat, which I found annoying.

As always, the fact that this novel is set in a university for fascinating for me, and held my interest in the same way that the early Harry Potter books did. I just love learning things! I dabbled in some tarot and runes when I was younger (as well as wicca) and I think that this novel is quite accurate in its portrayal. Of course there is not enough there for a whole training in it though.

Although the majority of the text is told for Kim's point of view, some is from Julien's, which becomes more important as the text progresses. I would have found the final scenes very jarring had I not had any insight into him before. However his narration is more of a limited kind as you feel less feelings from him.

The ending was less inspiring than I had hoped.
