Recommendation
The angst and drama is strong with this one! I was waiting on pins and needles to see what would happen after the cliffhanger of book one, and Aly Martinez did not disappoint! Lies and truths are exposed, new alliances were formed…and the epilogue…GAH! This duet is definitely one you need to add to the top of your TBR. Brilliant!
Excerpts
Hard and long. Slow and reverent. My mouth didn't open. And neither did hers. But it was by far the deepest kiss I'd ever offered her. I t was filled with apology. Hope. Gratitude. Regret. It was words unspoken. Lies unraveled. Lost and found. I kissed Cora with the truth – all of it – for the very first time.
Lies were light and fluffy. Made to order. Easy to digest. Impossible to hold on to. But the truth was dense. A boulder made of magnets, the Earth being north to it's south. The truth could crush a person with nothing more than reality.
Publisher synopsis
Truth: Penn Walker entered my life like a summer storm—dark, ominous, and filled with thunder.
After witnessing my husband’s murder, I didn’t have much of a heart left to offer a man.
But Penn took it all.
Every jagged shard.
Every broken bit.
Even the dirty and twisted pieces that I wish never existed.
Lie: I didn’t need him to save me.
Lie: I knew exactly who he was.
Lie: Losing him wouldn’t destroy me.
But that’s the thing about lies—you never know who to believe.
