ARC received from author for an honest review

You will need to have read book one, Honest Love, before picking up Bitter Truth as it does follow on where Honest Love finished.

I have been impatiently waiting for Bitter Truth since I finished reading Honest Love a few weeks ago, and Ms McKellar has not disappointed with the conclusion of the duet.

My heart was breaking at the end of Honest Love, and it didn't heal until the end of Bitter Truth.

I really enjoyed getting the first part of the story from Everly's POV. It shows us just how much others suffer after tragic events, even if they aren't directly involved. You never know what someone is going through behind their smiles.

Cameron - sigh. I adored him in Honest Love, but I down right freaking love him in Honest Love. The love for his little girl (or is she?), the love for his wife who has passed, the love he has for Everly (even though he isn't sure he wants to). So much love, so much pain.

I don't want to give anything away with this duet, as I truly feel that going in a (little) blind makes for an even more amazing reading experience.

I loved it, I hated people, I wanted to slam some people with my kindle! I ran the whole gamut of emotions as I devoured this story.

I am still in recovery mode, and am now eager for what Ms McKellar brings us next.

Honest Love was an insanely powerful read, one I adored. As the first book in the Twisted Hearts duet, it left me extremely eager to get my hands on Bitter Truth. I had high hopes for what was to come, and I was not disappointed by what I received.

With Bitter Truth, Lauren K. McKellar delivers another powerful read. It is emotionally intense, offering a wonderful conclusion to the duet. It sucks you straight back into the story, leaving you hooked to every page, desperate to see how everything will come together, feeling everything the characters were feeling.

There was a lot happening throughout Bitter Truth, but this does not take away from the story. In fact, it gives it countless layers that hook you. I could sit and list so many things that will leave you addicted, but to do so would be to give spoilers. All you need to know is all the things left open in the first book reach a wonderful conclusion, with new elements being introduced in this one that ensure you’ll be doubly addicted.

Without a doubt, the Twisted Hearts duet was made up of two fabulous books. I adored both, and I’ll certainly be reading more Lauren K. McKellar in the future, as I need more of the intense emotion I felt throughout this.
