Review: Twisted Lies 2 By Sedona Venez

Sinthia Michaels has nearly lost everything. Unwittingly, she’s signed over the majority of her couture fashion line and lost the support of her retailers in one fell swoop. Behind it all is the one man she is undeniably attracted to.

Core McKay, a wealthy and legitimate businessman, is after one thing only—his mother’s murderer. When his intel leads him to a corrupt politician connected to Sinthia, Core will stop at nothing for his own version of justice—even if that means using Sinthia to get what he wants.

Continuing the story of twisted lies and dirty secrets, Core and Sinthia both have an end game, but their feelings for one another could be their undoing.

Normally if I truly do not like a book, I normally will only post a short review on Goodreads saying I just didn’t like it or it didn’t work for me.  This time though, even days later when I think of this book I start cussing a blue streak and want to commit bodily harm on a fictional character so badly that I am questioning my sanity. 

First let me say in real life I can be a major bitch, I know this.  Sometimes it’s because of my mood or it’s because someone deserves my treatment of them. Here is the thing, I know when I am being an irrational bitch about things, and there is a line between being a bitch and being a BITCH.  Sin is a BITCH.  In the first part of this series her bitchy attitude didn’t bother me so much, but in this one for some reason she turned into a BITCH and I was so angry at her it ruined the book for me.  Now though, she is this cocky I think I am a bad ass but in reality I look and sound stupid with 99% of the shit that comes out of my mouth BITCH.  There is zero chance at her being redeemed in my eyes.  Zero, ziltch, nada.  Am I saying that Core is a saint by any means?  Nope but at this rate I will love him till I die before even liking Sin.

Obviously by this review you can tell that my famous temper hasn’t lessened any with Twisted Lies 2 and I can say without regrets that I will not be reading the third part even if I was paid a million dollars.  

Review: Twisted Lies By Sedona Venez

After working her way up, Sinthia Michaels has finally hit it big in the glamorous fashion industry. Young and beautiful, she has it all—a celeb lifestyle, a gorgeous Manhattan townhouse, and a highly anticipated couture fashion line.

Core McKay, former kingpin of New York City’s organized crime, is now a wealthy and legitimate businessman. However, when Core sets his sights on a corrupt politician, his need for revenge leads him to Sin’s up-and-coming fashion empire.

Weaving together his twisted lies and dirty secrets, Core entangles Sin in his web of deceit. When the backstabbing fashion world, the vicious political arena, and the ruthless criminal underworld converge, Sin becomes trapped in the middle and struggles to fight her way out.

Twisted Lies book one is the first installment in the Twisted Lies serial.  As I have stated before I have no issue with a serial series, sometimes I just want that quick read to break up the continual cycle of long books I tend to read.  I go in knowing that there is a cliffhanger so I am not upset and I know there will be another part coming up very soon.  Twisted Lies was no different for me.  It gave just enough information and background that you are still left wondering what truths are hidden and what lies will be twisted to give the liar the upper hand.   

I am intrigued by Core and his need to get to an enemy by using Sin and her business to his gain.  Sin also has me on edge because of her attitude, temper and overall feisty take no shit attitude.  I loved that about her. I also have a feeling that Core is going to surprise us more than once while this plays out.  There is nothing good that can come out of these games and lies, or could there be?  I for one am anxious to see what will happen next.

Overall, Twisted Lies was a good start for the serial.  I do wish we would have had a bigger glimpse of the time lapse for Sin but that may be addressed in the next installment so I will be looking for that.  I have high hopes that Core is going to be one hell of a bad boy who will have us wanting to submit to his commands.
