Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

She's demonic and evil, a wicked she-devil you'll love to hate in this riveting psychological thriller that reviewers say is "gripping", "heart wrenching" and "holding my breath suspenseful".

Angela is beautiful and charismatic on the outside. But on the inside, a demon rages, determined to get anyone and anything she wants. And now with her biological clock ticking, she seduces her old friend Philip, and his partner Jonathan, into having a child with her through artificial insemination.

From the moment the parenting agreement is signed, Angela's mask of deceit slips away and she leads the fathers-to-be on a relentless, agonizing journey filled with lies, anguish and finally tragedy that forever changes the lives of everyone involved.

Five star reviewers rave that One Last Lie is a gripping thriller of fiction, a novel of pure suspense from which they are unable to pull themselves away. Like Annie Wilkes from Misery and Alex Forrest from Fatal Attraction, Angela drags innocent lives into her web of insanity – a place from which readers have confessed is hard to escape, even weeks after turning the final page.

Jonathan and Phillip have been together for 12 years. They are a very happy and successful couple. In walks Angela from Phillips college years. They had a falling out 15 years ago and now she is wanting them to have a baby with her as her biological clock is ticking. In college she was morbidly obese, no she is skinny, sexy and beautiful. Jonathan has reservations about having a baby and having it with Angela. He sees something hiding under the surface of her cheerful, nice demeanor. Their lawyer friend G discourages them because you can't always control what happens after the baby is born.

The go ahead with the insemination and once it takes, all hell breaks loose. The reader knows from the start that there is a little demon inside of Angela just waiting to come out. I wanted to smack Jonathan on the back of the head because he did have big reservations and all of a sudden he's all for it.
Shockingly, Angela starts putting on weight and not really caring about the health of the baby. She quickly has put on so much weight she can barely get off the couch.

Then you throw in her obsessive on/off again boyfriend Tommy who is homophobic and has his own demon inside of him. Angela is pure evil. She is one scary character. I really had a hard time putting this down. Phillip and Jonathan were such a loving and caring couple who cared deeply for each other. There were a couple times I cried, literally with tears running down my face. When a book makes me smile, laugh and cry horrible tears I know it's a good one. I'm looking forward to more works from Rob Kaufman.

I thank Rob for sending me a copy of his book. ( )

One Last Lie by Rob Kaufman

Angela is beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside. She is determined to get anyone and everything she wants at any cost. She convinces her old friend Philip and his partner Jonathan into having a child with her through artificial insemination.

From the moment the parenting agreement is signed Angela starts with her lies. She torments these men in so many unimaginable ways, making their lives a living hell. She won't stop until tragedy hits, then everyone's lives are changed forever.

A well written psychological drama. Philip and Johnathan are very likable, and it is easy to understand why they feel like they do. Their love for each other is a binding force. Angela is pure evil. I did not like anything about her. But She really brings psychological drama to this gripping , compelling edge-of-your-seat tense story to life.

I find that One Last lie is a true five star read, and those who love a great psychological/drama will enjoy it as well. ( )
