Synopsis
Beneath the deepest parts of Ponderosa Springs lied secrets that we never meant to be uncovered.
Blood has soaked the hands of those we trusted most. Decrepit intentions finally come to light.
And now truths are ready to be incinerated in the open for everyone to witness.
I was ready to watch this town that made me the villain, Rot in front of my eyes, but it seems ghosts don’t stay buried here either.
Everyone’s favorite sweetheart has returned to Hollow Heights dragging nothing but unanswered questions and grim memories behind her.
A distraction I can’t afford with the police sniffing around.
A mistake that torched my last piece of humanity.
The dirty little secret that has returned searching for closure surrounding her sister’s mysterious death.
But I know the innocent, lost girl is an act. Underneath it’s just another part of her show.
They all are eating from the palm of her hand, puppets on her string.
But not me.
I see her for what she truly is, I always have.
A fake. A manipulator. A liar.
I won’t let her ruin all we have worked for. I refuse to let her derail our plan of vengeance.
I’ve played your game once before, Sage, now it’s time to play mine.
And you’re not making it out without getting burned.

My Review
📚'THE TRUTHS WE BURN'📚
is the second full length interconnected stand-alone book in Monty Jay's 'Hollow Boys' series.
Sage Donahue she the keeper of all secrets, so many secrets that could destroy the very foundation of this township. Daily she hides behind a mask of perfection never revealing her true self to the outside world, fake smile, fake happiness, they say she's heartless and a man eater, she's smothered under huge expectations of her parents and strives to fulfil them in order to protect her twin sister Rose, but at what cost?
Rook Van Doren, is what nightmares are made up of, an unpredictable pyromaniac with blood on his hands without an ounce of remorse. Who thrives in the darkness and lives on pain, most call him the Antichrist. Him and his band of brothers are feared by all.
These aren't the boys you bring home to mommy and daddy.
They are fun to look at,
but under no circumstances do you touch.
When their paths cross they both go up in flames, drawn to each other even when they shouldn't be, they are as different as chalk and cheese, but they do say opposites attract and in this case that is the truth. He sees all the masks she hides behind.
After inhaling and loving the previous book, this was one I was highly anticipating! And like the first book, this was demolished in no time at all. I loved jumping back in this fictional crazy world the author has created, more lies uncovered, bore blood on their hands, more insight into this township and the monsters that reside in it.
