The Truth in My Lies (Secrets of Suburbia)

A thrilling story that will twist you more than a rollercoaster.

Adeline Bell wakes each day with an agenda. To repeat the following day as the same. One thing disrupts this, Ben Jones. Watching him every Thursday mow a yard on her path as she runs, all her dreams come true when she falls and Ben comes to rescue. His touch, his manly, grassy scent fills her with desires she's only dreamed of. One problem, her husband.

For ten years, Adeline has lived in fear from the hand of abuse. She's convinced her husband is drugging her into insanity. Yet, her psychologist sees only the man who worries and cares for her. Dr. Nash insists that she take the prescription meds to focus and forget. Which is it? She can't remember.

Ben begins to see signs of abuse and helps Adeline set a plan to get out. But then, she can't remember if he's real, or even who she is. But one thing is for sure. Adeline does not want Ben to see what's in her basement.

This book will have you turning page after page with a twist to the very last. I enjoyed this book with a passion. Ivy Smoak knows how to set the wheels in motion for a well done wheel-in-wheel thriller.

Interesting mystery filled with surprises. I like reading a book that I'm not sure about the ending.

I was not expecting that!

Adeline Bell is a 30-year-old suburban housewife who looks forward to her morning runs. Her husband keeps her on a tight leash and is not allowed out of the house very often. Thursdays are her favorite days of the week - that is when she sees "him", the hot guy he mows lawns. She was never supposed to talk to him, just admire him as she ran by, but then she tripped and fell....

Ben is the young man who mows lawns in the neighborhood. He has seen Adeline running by for weeks and then one day, while staring at him, she tripped and fell. He helped her up and took care of her. Intrigued by her beauty and sarcasm, he wanted to know more....

WOWZA! I LOVE when I read a book completely surprises me! I thought I had this book figured out and then there was a plot twist, I thought okay now I know where this book is heading, then, you guessed it, another plot twist. Ivy Smoak pulled off a lot of twists and turns in this suspense/thriller! I will say it again, I love when a book surprises me!

I found this book to be a well written thriller that kept me turning the pages. I was captivated and had to know what was going to happen. The first part of the book was interesting and grabbed me, but the more I read and the more revelations that came to light, the more I had to know! This book was a thrilling ride full of lies, secrets, and revelations.

If you love suspense/thrillers, this is the book for you! Seriously, read this book!

Whew!

I received a copy of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review! The opinions in this review are my own. Honestly, I thought this book was fantastic!

Oh my! What a great thriller! I couldn’t stop reading it. It had me on the edge of my seat at times. I had to know what was going to happen. It had me questioning so many things. I never saw the end coming whatsoever! My jaw literally dropped! I’m mind blown. This is the best psychological thriller I’ve read in awhile, hands down! I won’t be able to stop thinking about this book. This is a must read! And it’s part of a trilogy!
