The Truths We Burn (The Hollow Boys, #2)

4 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

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 either. 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. Underneath it's just another part of her show. 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. 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, and now it's time to play mine. And you're not making it out without getting burned.

★★★★☆

Describing Sage as a Phoenix is such an understatement. This book had so much more depth than the first one and the story was more captivating. I’m not usually a big fan of past and present writing in a book but it was well executed here. Rook and Sage’s story’s are as equally tragic together as they are on their own and it has you screaming at the pages for them to just catch a break. It’s enemies, to lovers, back to enemies, back to lovers. Second chance romance, touch her and you will die. It’s redemption, heartache and pain not only for our main characters but for the found family too. My only critique is, for me it all fell into place too quickly.. the ending all happened too fast and it was very easy considering they’re a bunch of college kids.. not sure if I’m all that bothered about Thatcher and Lyra’s books but I can’t wait for Silas to get his happy ending!
