Publisher's summary

You’ve heard of these groups - the secretive ones that only the crème de la crème are invited into, the ones outsiders speculate about for centuries - I’m the second in my family invited to attend, but to them, I’m fresh meat. New blood. New money, too.

They think they’ll elbow past me, that I’m here for their amusement, for them to walk all over, they’ll find out soon enough that I’m not.

I may look like one of them, with my designer bags and clothes straight from the Parisian runways, but I’m not. I’m here for answers, to take revenge for blood spilled on their centuries-old Persian rugs.

I transferred here in search for answers about what happened to my older brother, who hightailed out of here, and my friend who seemingly disappeared into thin air. I certainly wasn’t here for the attention of the star hockey player, regardless of how much he willed my eyes his way. I wasn’t here for his scrutiny or his judgment or to read into his mysterious aura. I was here for the society, because only they held the answers I needed. That was, until I found out that in order to get those answers, I needed to go through him. He’s saying if I want in, I have to play by their rules, follow their lead.

It’s a game I’m willing to play.

I may be the second person I know of to be invited into their society, but I’ll be the first to make it out intact. Half-Truths is a stand-alone novel.

Great Book

I can’t stress how much I loved this book the story started off with a mystery and just continued to build. Logan’s love for Amelia was swoon worthy. Claire Contreras was a new author for me I had never read or listened to any of her books prior to this one but now I am definitely a fan. Great narrations from both narrators they really kept me engaged with the story.

Amazing

This audio book was fantastic! I dont write reviews often the book has to be super good and this book was

Loved it!!!❤️🐙

Claire’s story of mystery, suspense, and love gets 5 stars from me. I loved her detailed story of a mysterious society and how it unfolds in the life of the main character Amelia. I loved the characters Claire wrote about that, helped unfold the truth and mystery of this well written story. I was invested from the beginning to the end. Great job Claire. This is a standalone but there will be more stories from this series. Also, there is a bonus scene only on the kindle version.

Holy plot twist Batman!

Loved this book! Reminded me a lot of Ninth House, which I read first, but without the magic! Such an interesting story!

Gripping, thrilling, and my new obsession!

I can't stop with this book. Literally. I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to and read this book (since I have both the audio and ebook versions). Obsessed with this story! I just can't seem to move on from this addictive new series.

The twisted suspense and web of lies of these secret societies kept me riveted. Wanting to see where Amelia and Logan would go kept me locked in anxiousness and hopefulness.

I loved the characters, both main and supporting. I loved Amelia's smart mouth and wit while I loved Logan's devotion and determination. I'm hoping for many more books in this series for the other characters because I am OBSESSED!

I thought the narrators did a fabulous job, especially the female narrator. There was more from her than from the male narrator, but I thought she was spot-on as far as how I imagined Amelia sounding. The inflections and emotions were so well-done. Obviously, since I've listened to the book numerous times already.

I can't recommend this book enough! You are missing out if you haven't purchased this book and dove into this perverse and whacked world of secret societies.

4 stars

I loved the story! Light on the romance but I'll definitely be reading more. Secrets, lies, betrayal. Good stuff!

I loved the h and her relationship with her brother. The loss of a star is Logan. He took a bit to warm up to and I really questioned his desire to be with Amelia, especially early on. Not a fan of his actions being one way but his words being another.

Dark and Mysterious

It’s dark.
It’s mysterious.
It’s addicting.
It will consume you.
You will have so many questions...

Who are the cloaks? What’s with Amelia’s family? Who are her friends? ....and what happened to them?

It’s unputdownable... (is that a word??)

Half Truths

Over all good book keeps has the twist turns, romance and interesting gets better as you read

Good Story too much vulgarity

AllI can say is this is a great story but I was ready to turn it off every 10 minutes or so because of the vulgar language and then the story would catch my interest again. I sure wish you could write these intriguing books without having all the garbage words in them.

Half truth - best title!

I’m so in love with this book, the twists and turns, are very interesting- this series will be good.!
