Reviews
No one is perfect, and no one is without value. "A Lighter Shade of Gray" tells the story of Devon, a woman with much baggage in her life, fearing that she will one day fall into the mental illness that has befallen her mother. Her situation is made worse when her best friend becomes embroiled in a murder investigation, and Devon believes her to be lying about her involvement. A story of deception, betrayal, and facing the mistakes of one's past while dealing with the future, "A Lighter Shade of Gray" is a riveting read that has much to make readers think.
I finished reading this book almost a week ago but there were just so many emotions and thoughts that it left whirling in my head that I need time to contemplate them. This is a first-time author so I expected quite a few flaws in the story lines and character development, but that simply wasn't the case here. This is very well written and what really surprised me was how I started reading it and, at first, in the Prologue was a little puzzled and my interest just a little peaked. However, the more I read and really got involved almost personally in the main character, Devon, and her life and then her family, best friend, and ex-fiance's lives, it seemed I had to just keep reading and reading to learn more about them and what would happen to all of them.
Drawing the reader in with tidbits, insight, visits to the past and actions and events in the present all served to snag my focus so that I read the book in less than 24 hours even with sleeping and eating and working. While getting interested in plot lines is exciting when reading a book by a new author especially, it was more important to me how much the author gets the reader so emotionally involved.
I felt sympathy, empathy, sorrow, anger and joy along with wonder and humor to just name a few of the many feelings experienced within this story.
As a Vine reviewer for Amazon, I have read quite a few books by first-time authors and I would highly recommend this book as definitely one of the top ten I have read in recent years.
Get it and read it!
Wow... wow... WOW!
It made me think, it made me laugh... it made me cry.
It was WONDERFUL.
Definitely the work of genius.
The crying part is the best testament. Evoking so many emotions.. great, just great.
Deeply moving and exquisitely lyrical, this is an incredible debut novel. Devon Pearse is one of those rare writers who can tell a tale with the skill of a poet, insight of a psychologist and prose of a true author. Simply brilliant. Bound to be a word of mouth success story.
I was one of the fortunate few to have read an advance copy of A Lighter Shade of Gray. This book, characters, conversations will all stay with you for months afterward. I didn’t know I had such an emotional range in me…OK, yes, I cried, laughed, and cried again! Baffled until the end as to whodunit, and then it all made sense. What an intricate and complex web is woven with such style and skill into the fabric of this novel. Go Devon, all the way!!! I’ll willingly pay to read advance copies of any of your novels!
