Gypsy Truths by Kristy Cunning

4.0

---

This series was a wild ride. Full of chaos, fun, darkness and, at times, questionable occurrences. I actually like the violence and goriness both All the Pretty Monsters and Kristy/CM's other RH series boast. She has fun writing these twisted stories, with deliciously douchey, alpha men that one way or another always end up put in their places by the adorable, funny, kickass ladies they love.

Also, she's the master of writing magnificently life-like characters. They're all always so nuanced and perfectly individualized. Vance, the tortured, condescending hero; Emit, the oblivious, sweet savage; Arion, the romantic psycho and Damien, the irresistibly charming stalker. And, of course, lovely, chaotic, selfless Violet. Who loved making shampoo and saving a buck by making her own clothes and had a terrible monster trapped inside her. Kristy has some of the most fun, outrageous, detailed characters out there.

If there's one thing I'd complain about, though, is how inconsistent the flow of the book was. We'd be in the middle of an action scene, and we'd change POV to another character who was sitting around just discussing something with someone else. It was all very start and stop, which I didn't particularly like.

All in all, I still very much enjoyed the series and would recommend it.
