The Truth About Lies (The Truth Duet, #1)
Synopsis:
Truth: From over a thousand miles away, I watched on the screen of my phone as two men murdered my wife. And I was helpless to save her.
Consumed by hate and rage, I spent four years running from my memories.
Until a shattered woman gave me a reason to stop.
Cora lived in a nightmare, but through sheer force of will, she’d turned it into something beautiful. She had a smile that could pierce the darkest soul. And with one glance, she shredded mine.
Lie: I was only there for a fresh start.
Lie: I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Lie: There was nothing I could do to save her, either.
But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.

REVIEW:
3.75-4 stars
****
This was a good book! The Truth About Lies is book one in the Truth Duet.
This book is really tricky to review without spoilers so I can't say much about the story. This is Cora and Penn’s book. Both Cora and Penn have lived through heartbreak and difficult times. When they meet, they are both at nearly rock bottom. Something about them is drawn to each other and they begin to see hope for a better future, but they have a lot of really scary adversity to overcome, if they even can.
I have to admit this one started off a little bumpy for me. The story started off slow, was very mysterious, and not much was known. It was interesting, but it made it hard to buy into a romance. I wasn't sure what was going on for quite awhile there. But once more parts of the puzzle were revealed, I got sucked into the story and really enjoyed it.
The Truth about Lies is a little dark and gritty. I wasn’t sure about Cora or Penn’s characters at first, but I ended up really liking them both and feeling the love between them. I was really routing for them to get a happy ending. This book ends on a doozie of a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. I really hope the next book maintains the momentum and excitement at the end of The Truth about Lies.
Overall, this was an enjoyable read! If you find the beginning a little slow, hang in there as it picks up soon and will keep you guessing till the end! I can’t wait to read The Truth about Us!
