Publisher's summary

Can you live a lie?

It’s a ghost town, this place that haunts me, the one that made me. It’s clear to me that I’ll never outgrow Triple Falls or outlive the time I spent here.

I can still feel them all, my boys of summer. Even when I'd sensed the danger, I gave in. I didn’t heed a single warning. I let my sickness and my love both rule and ruin me. I played my part, eyes wide open, tempting fate until it delivered. There was never going to be an escape.

All of us are to blame for what happened. All of us are serving our own sentences. We were careless and reckless, thinking our youth made us indestructible, exempt from our sins, and it cost us all. I’m done pretending I didn’t leave the largest part of me between these hills and valleys, between the sea of trees that hold my secrets. It’s the reason I’m back. To make peace with my fate. And if I can’t grieve enough to cure myself in my time here, I’ll remain sick. That will be my curse.

But it’s time to confess...to myself more so than any other, that I’d hindered my chances because of the way I was built, and because of the men who built me.

At this point, I just want to make peace with who I am, no matter what ending I get. Because I can no longer live a lie.

The Ravenhood trilogy is a gritty, modern-day take on Robin Hood filled with suspense, thrills, and all the feels.

Oh, the twisted webs we weave....

The narration for this book was just absolutely stellar. I've listened to many books with these two narrators, but the emotion in this brought their craft to the next level. Man, this book was such a bummer. I have the romantic heart Cecelia is plagued with and it was rough at times when being told how not everyone gets that happy ending, seeing her trapped in the past by love, and being tormented in the present by it. The complicated story that unfolds as the book goes on is a mind**** to be sure, and while an amazing story, it's also depressing as heck at some parts! The emotional rollercoaster this woman is on reminds me of certain points in my life, where you just feel absolutely ravaged and gutted by love, like it has taken every bit of your soul and stomped it into dust until there's nothing left to give. But while women that have that romantic heart may be crushed by it, they're also all the stronger for it and Cecelia embodies that strength as well. Although he attempts to reinvent herself seem to be in vain, she gains knowledge and understanding of herself and the people she cares for through each evolution of herself. Tobias makes me want to scream and crack him up the head a few times to get his mind right, but Cecelia better end up happy with this man by the end or I swear, I'll riot. After all the talk about and stories of people not getting their happy love story ending in this series, the main character deserves and needs it in her story. I can't wait to see that happen so my pathetic romantic heart can relax in the solace that while love doesn't always conquer against the odds, sometimes it does.

Sheeeesh

Tragically Good

This book broke my heart while reading it & I wasn’t expecting that after the 1st. I can’t even count the amount of times I cried.😭 That’s not something I usually look for in a listen but this story was beautifully written, narrated, & tragic. I’m happy I listened.

My heart bled black tar, but it’s healed

There are no words to describe this epic audio.

The Frenchman has won my heart, the romantic and headstrong heroine has made me believe in a love lost is worth fighting for .

You Maxine and Joe deserve a Oscar fir this performance. Your narration of this exquisite, painful wonderland was everything and more.

I haven’t cried like this in a very long time. These characters will live with me forever .

You aren’t ready for this
