The Lies We Steal (The Hollow Boys, #1)

3 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

"It's been months since the day we stood above that empty grave that stunk of burnt flesh and secrets. All of us were dressed to the nines, one of us wearing a wedding dress, a day that was supposed to mark the beginning of a new adventure. It marked the bitter end of our vengeance. We have done things that have marked our souls for eternity. But it didn't start out that way. Not for me. It all started there. The place I could find in my sleep. Hollow Heights University in the macabre, somber seaside town of Ponderosa Springs. A college for prestigious, wealthy children to receive the highest education. A town drowning in treachery and secrets that became our damnation. But it wasn't the forest surrounding the grounds or even the mysterious hidden mausoleum that haunted me. It was them. The ones that lurked in the night, things so wicked, so twisted, so evil, they would become the rulers of my nightmares. The Hollow Boys."--Back cover

★★★☆☆

If you’re a fan of the Devil’s Night series then you will love this book as it is a similar vibe. A powerful town of wealth, murder and disappearances. Four friends whose last name’s make them untouchable, who love to hide in the shadows and torment their prey. A girl with a troubled past who comes from nothing, on a scholarship to the most prestigious college in America, witnesses something she is unable to walk away from. A really good start to the series. A great introduction to the characters that each book is going to be focused on. I loved Briar and Alister’s back and forth and her unwillingness to back down and be pushed around. Solid 3.5 stars.
