This book was was absolutely phenomenal! From the very first page to the last it had you by the hair and it did not let you go. The world building the character building all of it was top notch and so easy to immerse yourself in it. It ends on a huge cliffy so reader beware but oh my it's sooooo worth the pain . I can't wait for the next book to break me more .

I finished this book in one sitting, it had me hooked from the prologue. The plot twists omg, I was shocked and never would have guessed how things was going to play out. There are triggering moments so please check the TW'S. It also leaves on a cliffhanger that'll have you eagerly waiting for book 2!

I started with the prologue and I was hook to see what all was going to happen. When you start reading the book it takes a few chapters to understand how the dialogue is used. Once I understood how she was writing it I was HOOKED!! I'm not one to read book nor complete a book however I finished it the 1st week of buying it. I can not wait for the next book to come out. In the back of the book I like how she list the cast of characters name and who they are. Sometimes I would forget who someone was so I would look at that page and it would help me understand more. Highly recommend

The twists, the secrets, the lies, the  deception, the heartbreak and the tension. Buried Lies delivers in so many different levels and will put you through the emotional ringer.
I went in blind, not even confident in the genre, and I am so glad I did. It really made the twists that much more jaw dropping!
If you like mystery, crime, murder, seeing the story through multiple POVs, side by side timelines, mob, family, strong female lead, who done it, who IS doing it, tension (emotionally, sexually, and criminally) then Buried Lies needs to be your next read!

I received the ARC Copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
I give it a 3.5 (rounded to a 4)
Overall The plot line was great, but the beginning was very confusing and it seems it be missing small things here and there throughout the book, that just don’t add up.
But once those things were corrected and/or validated everything made sense. I loved the story, which is full of lies, secrets and deception, and the ending is very surprising. Definitely will be on the look out for book two!
