A review by marisakucha
Brutal Lies by R.A. Smyth

5.0

To be completely honest, I had to wait a day or two after reading this book to write this review. Normally I don’t do this because my memory tends to be like Dory. However, I needed to recover and regroup because I have a lot of questions and a lot of theories.

This book had me questioning a lot and I don’t know how I feel about it. I want some answers and I thought I was getting some but the author basically just laughed and gave us even more mysteries. Not impressed (I need answers now).

I enjoyed watching the dynamic of this group of characters evolve and change over the course of the book. I know it’s going to completely change and evolve again with the rest of the series. What you think you know about the characters, you don’t really know. I feel like we were learning a lot but it was only snippets of, potentially, something bigger. Although, the same goes for the characters within the story. They are learning a bit more about each other but they are keeping a lot of secrets. Secrets of that could potentially blow up and change everything. Oh the drama and suspense, I love it.

I would recommend reading this book with a friend so that you have someone to bounce your theories off of. As an added bonus, you can suffer together. Book 3 is already pre-ordered.
