Review: These Dirty Lies

These Dirty Lies by L.A. Cotton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Note: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Note 2: This is a series. These Dark Hearts is a prequel to this duet - and currently free!-so reading it will give context to the first book in the duet. These Dirty Lies is the first book in the duet, and ends on a cliffhanger. Which will end in These Dirty Promises, releasing April 19 2022.

Trigger Warnings: drug use, alcoholism, death,mention of suicide, violence, child abuse, cutting, panic attacks, domestic violence, bullying, mention of infidelity.

Well all I can say that the story is interesting, and I adored Nate, Celeste, Chloe, Zane, Kye. The MCs, not so much.

And yes I know they're in their teens, so I am choosing to overlook their childish obstacles.

Interesting plot with slight interesting characters, and even more interesting side characters, plus less focus on sex (holy shit what an achievement, my first time seeing this happen for real) - made for an overall interesting novel.

Let's see how the next and final book solves the cliffhanger and several questions/issues raised.

Until the next read,
