From the Publisher

From the Publisher:

Set along the rugged Pacific Coast of Northern California and the bustling streets of New York City, this atmospheric novella centers on an aspiring writer’s attempt to live out all her desires in a dark and dangerous world. Lam has written a sensual, haunting, and suspenseful novella about the lengths one will go to hide the truth and avoid responsibility while reaping the rewards of avoidance and deception. At once merciless and compassionate, this story illustrates the emotional consequences surrounding a life of No Amends.

Brilliant suspense thriller!
5 Stars
Brilliant suspense thriller!
I really enjoy suspenseful books and this one was something special. This was definitely a page turner and that made this read that much more enjoyable. The main character is a writer so I was intrigued to see how they developed their character arc.I think the plot and development were well planned and written. Secrets, drama, thrilling suspense and mystery makes this a fun read.I loved this book and hope to read more books by this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Did not see the ending coming!
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2023
This book was a good quick read. It was written from two different characters' perspectives and goes back and forth from the present to when those two characters meet. There are things you won’t like about each character in this book. I was not a fan of Dee and was rooting for Layla even though at times she frustrated me. Tang was in a class all her own. Which just makes it even more realistic in my opinion and the characters more believable. I was not expecting the ending at all and just when I thought there were no more plot twist there was another. This was definitely a good first read by this author and I will be looking into more books by them. If you are looking for a quick interesting read with great twists give this one a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can it be love when you only see it as business?
Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2023
Love is like business. This is the first book I have read by the talented Angela Lam and honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect. That said it somehow was the perfect book for this Friday the thirteenth. Told from the dual perspectives of Tang and Dee we are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, revelations, and mysteries in this quick read.
Tang is a writer, and real estate agent when not writing. Fourteen months earlier she was in San Franscisco for a writers’ conference when everything changed. Her original concept was denied time and time again but a chance encounter at a local restaurant changed everything. Dee a sales rep for a start up tech company in New York is in San Franscico on business and visiting her twin brother Chris when she meets Tang. Making a comment about being the luckiest to Tang changed both of their lives. That simple moment gave Tang a new concept for her book and the next morning she lands a literary agent. Dee is full of secrets and lies. Starting with a slip of the memory by her brother on her name and a knee jerk answer about losing her son in childbirth there was no end to the lies Dee spun for herself with Tang. Everything was going too well but something was off, one intrusive thought to check Dee’s purse reveals her real name and begins the web of lies being untangled. Tang thought she had it all, the perfect girlfriend, Layla, but a chance encounter and a dark desire she couldn’t deny led to a journey of realization she never could have predicted.
Whose car went off Hangman’s Bluff? How could everything start with something as simple as a name? While the world the story is based on is reality the characters are relatable in every sense, even to the extreme in some cases to people in the world. Sometimes the world seems to give you everything, giving you chances to be honest and open, but what happens when you don’t take those moments? What happens when you continue to build on the shaky supports of lie upon lie? I didn’t know what to expect with this book, it seemed interesting and under two hundred pages was a quick suspense for a spooky day. The thoughts I was left with had me ready to go in search of my next Angela Lam book as soon as possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love Triangle
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2023
What a great suspense filled love triangle this book is! This book was hard not to finish in one sitting. I needed to know what was coming next!

Tang is a real estate agent/writer who is in a relationship with Layla. When she crosses the path with Dee over a year ago and finds herself falling for her. When obsession takes over and secrets come out, will Tang come clean with Layla?

Will Dee's secrets change how Tang feels about her? Will Tang be able to finish the love story she's writing awe inspired by Dee?

You truly will have to read this book to find out. I will say you won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to keep up with
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2023
This is the first book I've read from Angela Lam. I really wasn't sure what to expect. The cover and description didn't really give me a whole lot but I figured I'd give it a shot. It wasn't bad. The story itself was realistic and kept up a good pace. The fact that it was 2 povs and the time-line went back and forth for both of them, threw me off a bit. It was a little hard to follow. Over all it was a decent read and I would pick up something else from this author.

No Amends
By: Angela Lam

This was a fantastic, yet haunting book about a car accident that definitely left many people wondering what happened. Tang is a writer, who is suffering from writer’s block, who is also seemingly keeping secrets from those around him. Most specifically, his girlfriend Layla. As the book progresses the more one is left wondering how Tang is connected to Dee and if those connections are involved in the secrets Tang is keeping from Layla.
This book really is a romantic suspense. It is fast paced and I definitely did not want to put it down. I was left engaged from the beginning of the story and was left wanting more as each and every page passed. I also loved how the further you read the more question you (well at least I did) about what actually happened in that car accident. The author knows how to craft a fantastic plot that is filled with twists and turns. I definitely recommend this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark lovers trope
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2023
Outside of my usual comfort zone, I enjoyed No Amends more than I thought, for the lovers triangle the book is focused on is usually not my cup of tea. I enjoyed it because the stories intertwine as well as the relationships the author describes really well, but not sexually explicit/spicy.

Dark novel at times, Amanda desperately tries to atone for the mistakes she made in the past, hoping for forgiveness that will set her free from the burden that has been weighing her down. She turns to drugs and alcohol as a means of distraction, but soon realizes that the only way out is to face her guilt and make amends with her past.

The book is thoughtfully written, with evocative language and a well-crafted plot that keeps readers engaged from start to finish. Angela Lam’s writing style is crisp and engaging, making it easy to connect with the characters and their struggles.

Overall, "No Amends" is a compelling and powerful novel that not only entertains but also provides deeper insights into the human condition and the power of redemption. It is a must-read for anyone who loves contemporary fiction that explores complex themes and provides a fresh perspective on life.

4 Stars

No Amends by Angela Lam is a well woven LGBTQ+ psychological suspense that had me avidly reading the whole way through. It is the first book that I have read by this author, but it certainly won’t be the last.
This has all the ingredients that I look for in a great thriller, with tension, dark/raw/gritty details, intrigue, mystery, emotion, dramatic developments, interesting characters, well-developed plot, and a great flow.
All in all- an engrossing read…
Looking forward to more from Ms. Lam.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Angela Lam!
