An absolutely epic read!
I love Hannah she made me laugh quite a few times as well as feel for her throughout the story.
Gray is what I call a classic Ms Hart hero. I like him one minute then I don’t, then I love him, then I hate him and this goes around in circles until the end of the story.
I am left with so many questions right now. I can usually figure things out as I read but I have no clue what makes Gray tick. Had no idea what was going to happen next and for me that is a sign of seriously brilliant storytelling.
This isn’t going to be the book for everyone but if, like me, you enjoy a good dark and slightly disturbing read then this is going to be the book for you. I know I am seriously excited for the next part of this story, in fact I would quite like it now because I need to know what is going to happen!

A Distraction of Lies is the first book in Truth and Lies. Wow what a story! There is a lot I want to say but I don’t want to reveal anything.
Hannah finds out the world she has been living in is one big lie! She never thought to find herself in this situation.
I am not sure how I feel about Grayson Rothburg. Grayson offers Hannah an opportunity to escape reality and she ends up taking it. I am not sure that was the kind of distraction that Hannah needs or even needed and in the end was it good for her.
The question is what will Grayson do? I guess we will have to wait for book 2 to find out more.
This book is the first book that I have read of Charlotte E Hart’s that she has written alone. The books that I have read is where she has co-written with another author. I will definitely read more of her books and I can’t wait for the second book in this series. Even though that will also have to end in a cliffhanger since this is a trilogy.
Oh and I did receive an ARC for this book but found out that it was on KU. So I read that version instead. Why not give the author a little somethin… somethin…. When I can.

This is amazing read that will have you reading in one setting. This has a lot of highs and lows and will throw your emotional edge over so that you feel the needs and anger. This is a hard book to describe as it draws you in and has a cliffhanger ending. I so wanted to throw my phone as it was starting to get intense.. next book soon.

This one is a hard one to describe.
It’s a woman’s spiral into something completely different to what’s she’s been up until now.
A time of her life she will use to reinvent herself and bury her pain as deep as she can.
Also, a man who will assist her in this endeavour for his own unexplained reasons.
Just what is Gray’s game and why is he hiding himself away from the world at large.
There’s definitely more going on here than what we’ve been told and I so wanted to learn his particular backstory.
This was so surreal and I actually had a deep well of apprehension the further on I went.
I think mostly because I didn’t know what was actually occurring and the whys and also because it was a tad out of my comfort zone.
I was totally wondering if maybe Hannah had bit off more than she could chew
This one was very unique and darkly different.
I’m intrigued to see where it goes next.

A Distraction of Lies is one of those stories that immediately sucked me in and held me fascinated throughout. Hannah’s life drastically changes in one night and the very foundations of her world are rocked, leaving her questioning her relationships and structure of her own life.
The dark undertones built like a haunting melody and whenever the mysterious, reclusive Grayson, appeared on the page, my heart rate increased with intrigue, and dare I say it, fear. He exudes danger and darkness. He’s like complicated conundrum, which filled my head for hours, trying to work him out. Like Hannah, I was powerless to Gray’s magnetic force that captivates and draws you in. Grayson’s own POV chapters, give us, the reader, tantalising bread crumbs of his thoughts and actions, increasing my curiosity to his enigmatic ways.
The connection that Hannah has with Grayson is explosively powerful and him stepping out of his comfort zones for her, is endearing. Hannah’s world as she knew it, may have shattered, but she shows great strength - she’s got backbone and just wants to experience something real. I really grew attached to her and I’m in her corner cheering her on.
It’s been ages since a new trilogy has had me chomping on the bit for the next book and I’m counting down the days until book 2 releases. Ms Hart has produced a thrilling, dark, suspense story that kept me on my toes and speeding through the pages, addicted to all things Hannah and Gray. I highly recommend one-clicking this enthralling book.

Hannah and Rick are the perfect couple, so in love. They move to NYC for his job and plan to start their family soon. On the way home from a welcoming party, something horrible happens.
Hannah is destroyed over what happened. At the wake, she finds out news that destroys her further. She ends up turning to Rick’s boss for solace.
Opinion
Pretty good book. Gray’s lackadaisical response to her spurs on the book. She’s so distraught and he’s nonchalant. It makes a good mix.

A Distraction Of Lies (Truth and Lies Trilogy #1)
By Charlotte E. Hart
5 stars
A Distraction of Lies is the newest release from Ms Hart and what a beginning to this trilogy it is! Action from the very beginning and characters that you can’t decide if you should love or hate! There are unexpected twists and turns and a cliff hanger that makes you need the next book as soon as possible! Hannah and Gray are the main characters in this story and they each get their own POV chapters which are great especially for Gray! He is a complex character and I enjoyed trying to unravel him as the story went on! I might not have figured him out yet but I’m definitely in love with him!!
Based on the first book this trilogy is bound to be a hit with fans of this author and will definitely entice some new ones too!! I am extremely excited to read the next book! I can’t wait!!
