The Truths We Burn

The Hollow Boys, Book 2

De: Monty Jay

Narrado por: Grayson Owens, Lucy Rivers

Beneath the deepest parts of Ponderosa Springs lied secrets that we never meant to be uncovered.

Blood has soaked the hands of those we trusted most. Decrepit intentions finally come to light. And now truths are ready to be incinerated in the open for everyone to witness.

I was ready to watch this town that made me the villain rot in front of my eyes, but it seems ghosts don't stay buried here. Everyone's favorite sweetheart has returned to Hollow Heights dragging nothing but unanswered questions and grim memories behind her.

A distraction I can't afford with the police sniffing around. A mistake that torched my last piece of humanity. The dirty little secret that has returned searching for closure surrounding her sister's mysterious death.

But I know the innocent, lost girl is an act. They all are eating from the palm of her hand, puppets on her string. But not me. I see her for what she truly is, I always have. A fake. A manipulator. A liar.

I won't let her ruin all we have worked for. I refuse to let her derail our plan of vengeance. I've played your game once before, Sage, now it's time to play mine. And you're not making it out without getting burned.

Contains mature themes.

Couldn't stop listening

This book had me in a chokehold and I loved every minute of heartbreak and happiness it put me through. The writing style of this series is amazing, but I honestly love all of Monty's books because of this!

Both Rook and Sage have past trauma and are so beautifully imperfect as a result, but I truly loved their growth. I loved their secrets together and the enemies to lovers vibes they have - it was perfect for them and the plot of this book! And the spice between them, holy smokes....that confessional scene!! Need I say more! Rook could burn me any day and I'd beg for more.

I will say my heart broke so hard for Silas in this book....he's such a tortured soul and I just want to give him the biggest hug.

good read

I loved the book but the luckier or him calling himself luckier got a little weird it was almost like does he really think he's the devil

The Truths We Burn

Still my fave

Rook and Sage have always been my favorite, this the audiobook solidified that. The angst, the heartbreak, the way they love each other is just everything, and the end of this one. My. Heart.

Loved it

This book was good and love how now they can burn the world together. The way you still get all the other characters as well but still on main characters. Filling in where the questions lay. Off to the next book
