Synopsis:
They dragged the boy I love from my arms and accused him of a murder I know he didn't commit. Now all I want is revenge.
But with secrets from my past dredged up at every turn, I have no idea who to trust.
We've lived through the lies. It's time for the truth to be revealed. No matter the cost.
They say the truth will set you free. But in Saint View, it might just kill you first.
The explosive conclusion to the Saint View High trilogy. Twisted Little Truths is the story of three bad boys and a girl who knows how to stand her ground. It is a mature high school/new adult, #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains enemies-to-lovers and bullying themes and there may be triggers for some readers. It is the third and final book in an ongoing trilogy and cannot be read as a standalone.

Review:
The secrets are starting to come out and Lacey doesn't know how to handle them. The maliciousness of Owen is starting to weigh on Lacey and she devises a plan to finally catch him in the act of date raping girls so that her sheriff daddy can't do anything to refute the claims. But Owen is nothing if not prepared for the unknown. Lacey has to free Colt's ex-girlfriend from Owen's abusive clutches, protect the women of her town, find her uncle's killer, deal with the sudden appearance of her birth mother, and wrangle the three men who she has given her heart to. She's got a lot of work ahead of her.
Owen was the perfect antichrist, er, I mean antagonist. He was evil with zero redeemable characteristics. He was an abuser, a womanizer, and completely at odds with the soft-spoken Owen we met in the first book. I was so desperate to see him get what he deserved. He definitely deserved nothing less. When Lacey and him had this next face-to-face meeting alone, I thought that was the end for our female protagonist. The situation was gearing up to get her seriously hurt and when her surprise revelation, the whole thing became even more dicey.
As the plot unfolds and the enemies we knew became allies and vice versa, I didn't know who's side I was suppose to be on in any given moment. Lacey's birth mom left her but for good reason. Lacey's uncle who treated her like a princess was anything but the debonair king she would expected. Her beloved and accepting Banjo may have bitten off more than he can chew. And her aunt may have had ulterior movies we never would have even guessed. Thorpe had a wonderful way of twisting her characters and making their morality questionable and uncertain from one page to the next.
The happy ending was everything I would have hoped for. Except I would have wished Owen had more to do with Lacey's uncle's death so that he would have even more punishment for being an asshat. Twisted Little Truths was the contented sigh cherry on top of a magnificently delicious series.
