Black Truth, White Lies

Black Truth, White Lies by Hailey Edwards
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book, I think, is a turning point for Rue and Asa’s relationship. While Clay knows all her secrets (mostly) and Colby knows all the things (of course), in this book we see the trust hit the tipping point for Asa.

Poor Rue finally has her shop back and someone (or something) murders a reindeer at her town’s Christmas celebration. Ugh. This, though, does get us a new adoptee into the house of Rue and I think it’s worth it. So the Reindeer thing spirals into more weirdo aquatic fae and gets a sprinkle of aquatic fae family drama sprinkled on top. It’s Colby’s research, however, that ties all of this somehow to Rue’s family.

As if she needed more family drama, there are oodles of reveals at the end of this book, enough to keep this story going in all different directions! I like where we landed and while I’m a little sad these books are not yet smutty, I can understand that a demon/fae who has an invisible hand slicer-offer slicing hands off if anyone touches his hair, well, he might be less experienced in the romance department. I like this slow burn for them, and something about this very dark band of misfits manages to bring a smile to my face.
