Tangled Truths

The Apocalypse Society, Book 2

By: Aly Beck

Narrated by: Aaron Shedlock, Raven Wildewood

My enemy is the Apocalypse. Anonymous. Faceless. Shrouded in cloaks and deception.

They are the true puppeteers of East Point, pulling the strings of their minions and controlling the masses of sheep. They're cowards hiding behind false identities and blank addresses.

And guess who's still their number one plaything? Yep, that's me.

When I came to East Point, I had one mission in mind: find the people responsible for killing my best friend. And boy, did I get more than I bargained for. Everything I've looked into twists and turns into dead ends.

No one is who they say they are.

When identities are revealed, we're more screwed than before. With every step we take forward, we're thrust a million steps back.

But this time, I'm not alone. I have my four guys by my side. Together, with shreds of new evidence and better technology, we will continue our investigation into Magnolia's murder. And bring justice to her death.

Or die trying.

Tangled Truths is a full-length, dark, contemporary, new adult bully romance. Full of mystery, spicy scenes, and foul language. It is a why-choose novel, meaning the FMC has more than one love interest and does not have to choose. FMMMM This is book two of The Apocalypse Society and will end in a cliffhanger. It is not a standalone.

Contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

So good

This is one of the best books I love this Author the next series is the best book I have ever read

Overall really good book!

I think this story is really good! I would def say this series a try i will just let you guys know the FMC has ALOT, like and EXCRUCIATING amount of inner dialogue. Like so much that i end up just skipping some of it bc it’s so much and can get repetitive. But other than that the plot it really good and definitely keeps u on ur toes!!

Amazing story!

Love the characters! Great storyline. Never see what's coming, a lot of twists and turns.

It was good!!!

It was just too much damn inner dialogue tho like I get my sis is autistic and has adhd not shaming at all bc I have adhd and understand but for the story tho it was like there would be times where she would just literally ramble and I would lose track of what the story was even about I pushed through and I’m gonna read the last book bc I need to know what’s going to happen but it was just too much inner dialogue like this book could’ve been shorter ngl and imma need my sis to start putting them damn skills to use because she starting to show them her weakness like she’s literally a computer genius she can quite literally ruin their lives with a few clicks of buttons I just feel like the author is making her seem weaker and that she needs to depend on her boys a lil too much for me like she’s a badass fr but overall tho the book and the plot is actually good just be prepared to skip some of her rambling thoughts tho!

It’s enough

Okay, I'm done.

Book one had me hooked. The suspense, the romantic tension, the emotional highs and lows—it all worked for me. I also appreciated seeing the FMC show strength and resilience in the face of bullying.

Then came book two, and I just couldn't keep going. The same mistakes are repeated over and over, with very little character growth. I understand that the FMC is autistic and possibly has ADHD, and I tried to be patient and view her actions through that lens. But by chapter 17, we're no closer to answers than we were in chapter 1.

At this point, I feel like the eventual "whodunit" and "why" reveal won't be satisfying enough to justify the slow pace. Unfortunately, it's time for me to DNF this series.
