Black Lies by Alessandra Torre
5.0
Another 5 star read brought to us by Ms. Torre!
This story was CRAZY! Like, I can't even find the right words kind of crazy and I wish I knew how to insert these great pictures everyone else has because this book caused a bunch of different reactions. There was intrigue, confusion, head shaking, intense thought, a number of WTF and body shifting moments, surprise and at the end the need for a standing ovation.
As I started it, I was confused about where this was going given the book description. We meet Brant; the brilliant, recluse, self-made billionaire. The relationship with him starts with a simple introduction and then we are all-in. So as I am reading I am still somewhat perplexed, there are little bits of information that we are given but it's never enough to really understand what the heck is going on. Then comes the "secret" but we don't know what it is and at first don't understand it. As a reader, I kept trying to guess what it was with the little tid-bits of information I was continually fed.
Then we meet Lee; the reckless, womanizing, landscaper. And then things get crazy, like WTF is going on crazy. This relationship starts with a not so simple introduction and then watch out cause things get wild. And when you think you might understand, you realize you don't, not even a little bit.
The reason I loved this book was because I love reading the unexpected, that book that keeps you guessing and wondering what in the world is happening right now. The one that keeps you up until oh-dark-thirty and makes you scowl at people who talk to you while you are reading. This is a twisted tale of unfaltering love; love so deep you would do anything, give anything, take anything to make it work. And here I am a number of hours later, still shaking my head because my mind has been blown.
Ms. Torre - my hat goes off to you!
