Empire Of Lies by J.L. Beck

adventurous challenging dark funny mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

This is the second book in the *Torrio Empire* trilogy. This trilogy must be read in order. It is NOT a standalone. 

Bianca has just been given some massive news by her dad. She feels like her whole world has come crashing down on her. All she wants to do is go to Callum but she also feels like she can't. There's trust issues now. Will she ever find out if her dad is right? 

I'm feel so bad that Bianca is stuck in the middle between Callum and her dad. I would take a day off work too if I found my dad binge drinking out of no where. The whole scene with the camera was hysterical. I was shocked that Callum used child locks to trap Bianca. Bianca's words in the parking garage hurt my soul. I'm heartbroken for Tatum. No one deserves what happened to her. I may love Bianca and Callum but I'm also obsessed with the friendship between Bianca and Tatum. It's the cutest thing.

This was better than the first book. There were more things that I didn't see coming so I'm happy about that. I'm going into the last book skeptical but we'll see what happens.
