This is the first Lamb novel I've read. It's the second in a series. I don't normally have a problem reading out of order, but I felt like I missed some of the backstory when it came to the two main character's relationship. I wonder if Lamb purposely dropped us into their relationship as it was in progress, or if I missed out on key things because I didn't read the first book?
I really like psychic novels. Of the paranormal elements, those are my favorite. You can keep your vampires and shifters, give me a good psychic any day. The problem I had with this one was that Alex's powers were never fully explored. I wanted to learn more about her abilities and where they came from.
There was a lot about this novel I enjoyed. The chemistry between the main characters really came through. They also had an emotional connection, at least in the beginning. Unfortunately that seemed to kind of fade as the story progressed. The plot was interesting with the psychic elements, but I felt it was somewhat lacking in the suspense department. I never really connected with the villain, and didn't understand why he'd gotten away with so much. Even so, the parts where Alex was in his head were chilling to read.
John's refusal to accept Alex's abilities began to grate on my nerves after awhile. I understand being skeptical, but he was just stupid about it at times. Which was really contradictory, because he was really great about it at other times. He even acknowledged to himself that he was blowing hot and cold. I think he needed to be more concerned with Alex than with keeping his secrets safe. His saving grace was, once that was pointed out to him, he quickly moved past his issues to focus on Alex.
I had quite a few problems with the suspense plot, but I tried to set aside my disbelief enough to enjoy the story. That worked to an extent. In the end I found myself invested in the characters, but as I continued on it was with rolled eyes and a sense of incredulity. I would say that the novel is readable, but flawed.

This is a new author to me. I have to say I really enjoyed the book. The author (Joyce Lamb) has a writing style that is unique and a perfect mix of romance, mystery, and paranormal. It was a great mystery and exciting adventure. Wonderful characters. Can't wait to read more books from this author. To learn more about the author and what she writes please check out the author (Joyce Lamb) Newsletter.

I knew it was going to be bad when the romantic male lead was described as wearing cargo shorts. It was all downhill from there.

There are benefits to near-death-induced empathy. Read the book to find out.

I really enjoyed this book. The near death induced empathy concept was new to me in a romance book. The author did a great job holding the tension between the hero and heroine throughout the book.

original review posted at http://www.smexybooks.com/2011/02/rev...
Alex Trudeau coded DOA at the end of True Visions when she took a bullet meant for her sister Charlie Trudeau, but was brought back 3 times. She survived death but brought something back with her. Alex discovers she has the empathic ability that her sister Charlie has but with a twist. She not only experiences what has happened to others, she also mirrors their injuries.
When John Logan came to Lake Avalon he just wanted to forget what happened in his previous job. But the problems have followed him. As he and Alex embark on a relationship, she becomes the target of a madman determined to destroy Logan. Logan must race against the clock to save Alex from a killer who’s twisted mind could drive Alex over the edge.
Joyce Lamb’s True Colors is the second book in her True Trilogy. Here we focus on Alex Trudeau and John Logan. True Colors is similar in storyline to her first one True Vision but less suspenseful and very disorganized. Almost everything in given away in the beginning and the rest of the book is spent seeing how everyone deals with it. It felt rushed and forced as though Ms. Lamb was on a deadline and had to spit it out fast. It honestly reads like someone else wrote it. There is no arc development so I’m not sure where Ms. Lamb is going with this unless there is to be a huge finale in the last story which features Alex and Charlie’s sister Sam.
I found Alex and Logan to be one dimensional characters whose interactions consisted mainly of make up and “I don’t want to deal with this right now” sex. I never felt any real chemistry between them. That could be because we are dropped in right in the middle of their relationship and do not see the build up to it.
Logan comes off irrational in his inability to accept Alex’s powers. He knows Charlie is an empath and Charlie’s boyfriend backs her up. Yet, he is consistently denying the obvious throughout the book. Rather then coming off conflicting, it comes off strange. There is a sub plot invoked that is used as a bridge to understand Logan’s past and for Logan to finally accept Alex but its randomness sticks out like a sore thumb. It has no baring on the main plot.
Alex has a bit more meat to her but still doesn’t cross the finish line for me. I don’t sense any real feeling from her concerning Logan beyond the physical. After discovering her powers she really doesn’t try to explore or gain any information on them. Rather she runs around having sex or freaking out about them.
Our villain is extremely nasty and made more so by the fact that Ms. Lamb includes much of his point of view into the story. So much so that he rates main character status. I found him to be the most developed and interactive of them all. I will warn you, there are some graphic scenes in here that were violent in description. In True Vision we weren’t privy to this much from the villain and it’s a bit shocking to find it in here.
The ending is anti climatic in it’s development and unfolding. It didn’t have the delicious impact that True Visions had. All in all, this one was very different from True Visions and very disappointing.

4.5 I hope Sam's story is even better
True Colors is the second book in Lamb’s new trilogy based around three psychic/empathetic sisters. The first, True Vision, was about Charlie and a new cop Noah. We are also introduced to Charlie’s sister Alex and their good friend (another cop) John Logan. I recommend reading this series in order because the characters and plots build upon one another. We get to see the beginning of Alex and Logan’s relationship in TV… which by the way if you don’t read the books in order you might have felt like you were thrown into Alex and Logan’s relationship in True Colors.
In TV Alex was shot by a psychopath who was actually gunning for Charlie. The wound caused her to die on the operating table and it took three shocks to the heart before she was stabilized and her heart could beat on its own. This is where her empathy ended up getting ‘super charged’. While Charlie has a quiet form of empathy, Alex’s is horrible and full blast. She experiences a recent or past trauma in FULL. That means by the time she comes out of the vision she is experiencing the same bruises, breaks and psychological trauma as the person she touched. This is too much for Logan. A lot of readers hated him for not believing her like Noah does Charlie, and for being too scared. I have to say I see where he’s coming from. Not only would your secret traumas and memories be relived by the one you love… you would have to change your entire world, Noah carries gloves everywhere and Charlie and Alex barely touch. This is a crazy scary thing that Logan would have to embark on should he decide to make the relationship work…
Now onto the craziest character Butch McGee. Wow. It’s hard to hate a horrid man who tried to stay good for so long while he was in captivity. Apparently Butch was actually a boy named Tyler who was kidnapped and grew up in a basement for years. He never wanted to hurt anyone or rape anyone, but he was so tired of being hurt himself, of being beaten, of the burns and bruises and stun guns. It makes you question the nature vs. nurture and how long a human being can hold out before they succumb to the dark impulses beaten in them. His dynamic with his brothers and Alex are fascinating and all I can say is that Alex is a very very lucky person. He was more interested in ‘where she went’ when he touched her than torturing her while she was out of it. Most of the torture was experienced by Alex but not to her. Still it is graphic and detailed and a bit horrid.
Ok I have to admit something, since book one I’ve wanted to read Sam’s story. She ran away from home and rarely keeps in contact with the family. Charlie and Alex joke that she’s some sort of spy, but the brief two chapters Lamb gave us at the end of True Colors prove that Sam’s story is going to be the most epic one yet. I simply cannot wait to read it and love the fact that Mac could be her romantic interest…. Ah….. Enjoy!

First off, I'm just going to say that this series is definitely one of my favorites of the year. Joyce Lamb is an author whose books are on my automatic "to be read". I don't care what genre she writes, I will be a lifelong fan. I can identify with the characters, the writing style blows me away in every book and I always find myself thinking of her books long after they have been read.
Alex's character appealed to me immediately with her love of abused animals. It takes a special woman to be able to take care of rescue animals and the fact that she could relate better to the animals than to people, piqued my interest.
John Logan's character was oh so dreamy. Who wouldn't love a detective who is not afraid to put his life on the line for the woman he loves? Fighting his own demons, John has to find a way to come to terms with Alex's psychic ability.
Butch McGee was one insanely creepy character. A character I loved to hate. I found myself holding my breath through the scenes with this deranged killer. His character made this book a superb read as the entire time, I was trying to figure out his angle.
I love Anna Coreen, the lady with psychic abilities that helps the sisters through their self discovery moments. She has a strong presence through out the True books and it wouldn't be the same without her.
The plot in True Colors is gripping, hair- raising and I loved every minute of it. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. A compelling page turner, this book has perfect pacing. The characters are meticulously developed and are easy to bond with. Each chapter leaves you hanging and I found myself reading into the wee hours of the morning just trying to see what happened next. I HIGHLY recommend True Colors to anyone who loves a solid, strong romantic suspense/thriller. Ms. Lamb is an outstanding writer and I am anxiously looking forward to reading True Shot, Sam's story.
If you would like to read the books in order, here they are:
True Vision - Charlie's story
True Colors - Alex's story
True Shot - Sam's story (out in December)

I was not particularly fond of True Vision when I read it last year. As a result, I sorta rolled my eyes when I saw books 2 and 3 on the RITA nominee list. However, what kind of ex-Romance Expert would I be if I didn't read whatever I could from the nominee list? So while my expectations and enthusiasm were low, I actually thought this was a decent romantic suspense.
Firstly, True Colors is very dependent on True Vision. There is very little relationship development between Alex and John because most of the 'beginning' stuff happens in True Visions. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but it underscores the importance of starting a series at the beginning.
Secondly, like True Visions, the book moves very quickly. I read the entire book in a little over an hour. The plot was tied and the action flowed swiftly. There was a secondary arc with a runaway teen that was interesting, but it had little to do with the overall plot.
Thirdly, I liked how Lamb handled the Big Bad. Via Alex's empathic gift, she humanizes the Big Bad and gives him a horrible back-story. The reader is forced to wonder if the Big Bad's childhood had been different, maybe they wouldn't have grown up to be a serial killer.
Fourthly, most of the stuff I didn't like about True Vision wasn't present in this book. However, my suspicion about Alex being wishy-washy proved valid and I didn't particularly like the way the book ended. While I liked John in True Vision, I felt like he wasn't a strong presence in True Colors. His existence in the book revolved completely around Alex and I wanted him to feel more like his own man.
Lastly, I think I gave this three stars because it didn't wow me and I'm not a huge fan of romantic suspense to begin with. A bigger fan would probably think this is four stars.
Warning! There is graphically discussed child sexual abuse and scenes of child physical abuse. In addition, there is implied animal abuse/torture. Since the reader spends some time in the Big Bad's head, there are also some creepy scenes about sexual sadism and violence towards women.

True Colors by Joyce Lamb
Suspense/Paranormal Romance –Jan. 4th, 2011
4 stars
Alex Trudeau, a local photojournalist, discovered that she has emphatic stigmata after her a near-death experience awoke her latent ability. Upon skin-to-skin contact with another being, she will literally live through their worst memory, often with physical injuries from the event branded on her skin. Alex does not want this ability. Living happily with her menagerie of rescued dogs, she just wants to focus on her work and John Logan - her best friend turned boyfriend. Unbeknown to her, a serial killer has targeted Alex as his next victim. The killer wants revenge against Logan and torturing and thinks killing Alex will cause Logan the most pain. Can Logan save Alex against the killer? Can Alex’s sanity survive the trips into the killer’s darkest, most brutal memories?
This book is not for the faint of heart. The scary memories locked up in the killer’s mind are twisted, sadistic, and most of all brutal. The violence is very explicit, so be warned.
For the most part, True Blood is an engaging and tense read. You can really feel the tension as Logan races against time to find Alex and save her from the killer. Lamb does a good job maintaining the sense of urgency throughout the whole book. Another high point of the novel is that Alex and Logan like each other to begin with. They decided to commit to each other early on, which is refreshing change from other romances. There’s no melodrama or insecurities between the 2 characters, which makes the whole book work. If they aren’t united and in love, there’s no way they can beat the bad guy.
All in all, True Blood is a terrifying, tense roller coaster ride. A must read for those who love thrillers.

The romance is pretty much a done deal by the halfway point and even during the first half it didn’t seem like the focus of the book. The bad guy’s POV takes up half the book so there is no mystery. Basically, the book is one big wait for the meeting between the psycho killer and Logan. Alex’s new ability is never fully investigated. I wanted to see more discussion between her and her mom. I feel like the author is leaving all that for the final book of the trilogy. For some readers the explicit violence that is detailed throughout the book may be too much. The writing is good and there were a few cute scenes between the leads. Psychics and empaths aren’t my thing so I won’t be reading any further in the series but overall not a bad book.

April 13, 2014A harrowing suspense / romance / crime novel, wonderfully executed by the author of True Vision. Joyce Lamb makes your blood curdle at the thought-processes of her villains.
True Colors doesn't let up with the true horror of revenge-fueled crime. The hideously distorted sense of justice in the mind of Butch McGee. Like her sister, Charlie, Alex Trudeau has astonishing powers of empathy but hers leave physical evidence. Butch's childhood traumas leave more than physical evidence on the psyche of Alex's boyfriend, John Logan.
For anyone who reads paranormal, suspense and/or romance, True Colors is a sure thing.

I love everything Joyce Lamb writes. True Vision, the first book in this trilogy. really captured my attention so I eagerly devoured this one, Book #2. I wasn't disappointed. In fact, I love it so much I just read it again. Lamb very deftly handled a psychic ability that our heroine, Alex, doesn't want ad has trouble handling, especially when it makes her relive people's worst moment. If that isn't bad enough, a crazed serial killer is after her. Mix the tension, the world of psychic abilities and hot romance together (you will love John Logan, whose first priority is Alex) and you have a real winner.Put this on your Don;t Miss list. I highly recommend it.

True Colors was much better than the first book in this series. We get to know both main characters, and it is easy to connect with them. Like her sister, Alex is an empath. Her empathy is much stronger than her sister's, however, which creates physical as well as emotional issues that she can't control. The male protagonist, John, has caught the attention of a serial killer from his past, and as a result, everyone he cares about, especially Alex, is in danger. As in the first book, True Vision, there is a side story that isn't really developed, which leaves the reader feeling cheated, but otherwise this was an excellent story.

A good read! The female lead is Alex Trudeau and she is empathic (she can see / feel a person's most recent traumatic event when she touches them).
