Devious Lies (Cruel Crown, #1) by Parker S. Huntington

Review by Elizabeth Best. Book. Ever. Holy batman! Parker S. Huntington has delivered the best book I have read this past year. Parker has let us into her talented mind and delivered a book like no other. I am excited to see what comes next in the series. Emery’s family may have been rich and she may have gotten everything her heart desired but did she really? Emery is nothing like her mom who is as snobbish as you can get. Emery is very down to earth and feels horrible about the scandal that rocked their town at the fault of her family. Emery felt she had no choice but to run, leave her best friend and the second family that she loved more than anything. Nash’s family has worked for Emery’s family for as long as he can remember. Nash was protective of Emery because she was his brother’s best friend. Not to mention he had a little crush but she was younger, much younger, and totally off-limits. Now things have changed and she is the poor girl while he is rolling in the dough. Plus, he is out for revenge. Revenge from the scandal. Revenge for the death of his father. Revenge for everything. The only thing that he thinks about is shattering Emery and making her pay for her family’s wrongdoings. However, not all is as it seems. Emery and Nash are each others own worst enemy. Emery blames herself and Nash blames Emery. They have amazing chemistry, the chemistry that has followed them from a young age. I loved that Nash did not try to excuse his actions. He clearly stated why he was doing what he was doing and made not one excuse for it. Nash comes off as ruthless but deep down he is a lonely man that misses his father. I hated that Emery felt responsible for what transpired in their little town. Emery gained my support from the very beginning because she was very easy to connect with. Not to mention as the story unfolded, she reminded me a lot of myself. It is a good feeling when I can connect with a character because it does not happen that often. I can write a very detailed review or I can leave it at, one-click Parker’s newest wordy creation. If I were to write a more in-depth review, I will give away the entire book and I refuse to do that. You will not be disappointed and you will be begging for more. ***ARC received in exchange for an honest review.***
