Review by: Sheila Deeth on May 17, 2012 :
Dad walked out. Mom doesn’t want her. And Tysan’s all alone in the world. She’s quit school, works as a waitress to pay the rent, drives an ancient car called Tank, and makes the best of a life gone miserably wrong. Motherly Sheila watches over her, and the delightful cook, Chop, welcomes her each morning, trying to feed her up with superlarge breakfasts while she slowly disappears inside her uniform.

But Ty is no shrinking violet or stomped-on weed. She’s plucky, positive and fun, and I’m sure she could have stood up for herself in the diner if Walker hadn’t intervened. All the same, Walker’s wise, sympathetic, and gorgeously goodlooking, so maybe things are looking up.

Claire Collins’ Images of Betrayal starts with a teen betrayed by her family, moves on to a photographer betrayed by his lens, then twists and turns on a tale that’s alternately scary and sweet. Ty’s high-school crush might turn serious, but there’s a time and a place for everything—not always the basement, not always as soon as temptation strikes.

A nicely balanced tale, this novel pitches Sheila’s well-balanced mothering against Ty’s selfish parents, David’s youthful ease against Walker maturity, safe hard work against mayhem and disaster, and Ty’s image of herself as the cause of everyone’s problems against an honest assessment that she’s been betrayed by her family. Accident, danger and terror ensue, but the writing’s filled with confidence and the reader’s never betrayed. A fine adventure story with interesting characters, both teen and adult, a modern outlook and steady sensibilities, this novel’s a quick, exciting, enjoyable read and well recommended.



Disclosure: I won an ecopy of this novel in a romance giveaway and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
