The truth is rarely pure and never simple. -- Oscar Wilde
TRUTH is an intricately woven plot that begins with Consequences. It would be difficult for a new reader to understand the story without reading the first book. Therefore, before reading Truth, I highly recommend reading Consequences first. You do not want to miss out on a huge chunk of the plot and prior events that happen in Consequences!
Anthony and Claire have a complex relationship - which is a HUGE understatement. There is absolutely nothing normal with the way they met or the way their relationship formed. In Consequences, Anthony kidnapped, violated, isolated, and controlled Claire. What started out as a strategic plan of revenge, turned into a very untraditional romance that not only ripped out my heart out but shredded it as well. I was frustrated, angry, and seeing RED by the end of Consequences. There was only one thing on my mind when I began reading Truth: I wanted justice. No, scratch that, I wanted REVENGE. I wanted Claire to get her life back and get her due repentance for what Anthony did to her.
Truth opens up with Claire being pardoned from prison after spending 14 months in jail for the attempted murder of her husband. A crime she didn't commit. With her newfound freedom, she begins to build her life again. This time, she has an agenda. She wants vengeance against the man who ruined her life. She has questions and she wants answers.
As the story progresses, Claire begins to realize that the truth is even more complicated than she ever imagined. And as she begins to investigate and unravel part of the truth, she realizes appearances aren't always what they seem. She should know--she played the game for over two years with Anthony when she was in his possession.
First, thank you to author Aleatha Romig for allowing me to read and review this book early! Not only was she generous in allowing me to do this, but she is one author who follows along with your status updates just so she can cry, yell and jump for joy at the same time as the reader.
After the first book in the series, I had no idea how the author was going to fix things. If you haven't read the first book, I urge you to get on it. This is not a stand alone book and you will have to have read the first one titled Consequences to really understand what is going on and the personalities of each character. At the conclusion of Consequences, I sobbed for Claire and had the strong emotion of hate for Tony. I wanted him to pay. I wanted him to be filled with the devastation and despair that Claire was filled with. Most of all, I think I secretly wanted him redeemed. I don't know how the author would be able to do it, but if it was going to be an option, I had a small part of me cheering for it. Call it the romance-lover-at-heart part of me that will not ever go away.
If you didn't follow along with my status updates on Goodreads, you were missing out. I was all over the emotional board with this book. Just when you think you have something figured out, the author basically grabs your brain and throws it up against your skull with a new discovery. Yes, I went through with the morbid description, but how can you not with characters such as Tony?
From the first chapter of the book, the author clues us in on small things we wonder about. I can't go into too much detail, but trust me in saying that the author created a masterpiece of a puzzle. At about 6% into the book when that first chapter is brought to light for Tony, all I can say is everyone better watch out!
