A weekend retreat in the woods and an innocent game of three truths and a lie go horribly wrong in this high-octane psychological thriller filled with romantic suspense by Lambda Award–winning author Brent Hartinger.

Deep in the forest, four friends gather for a weekend of fun.

Truth #1: Rob is thrilled about the weekend trip. It’s the perfect time for him to break out of his shell…to be the person he really, really wants to be.

Truth #2: Liam, Rob’s boyfriend, is nothing short of perfect. He’s everything Rob could have wanted. They’re perfect together. Perfect.

Truth #3: Mia has been Liam’s best friend for years…long before Rob came along. They get each other in a way Rob could never, will never, understand.

Truth #4: Galen, Mia’s boyfriend, is sweet, handsome, and incredibly charming. He’s the definition of a Golden Boy…even with the secrets up his sleeve.

One of these truths is a lie…and not everyone will live to find out which one it is.

This took me longer than expected to finish off. It's easy to read, but at no point was I completely immersed and forgot I was reading. Rob's narration got a bit annoying at times with the repetition and back and forth. I was all set to finish it and rate it as an alright 2 stars. Then the ending happened. That I'm really impressed with. It turned medicore to decent and good. It made me rethink the whole book and kept popping into my head later.

I say give it a shot. It payed off for me and it won't hurt or waste time finding out if it's right for you.
