Reviews for Lovely Lies

[Serenity Love · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat as I followed the characters through the streets filled with drugs and warlords. I loved how she was able to keep so many secrets even with a underlying innocence from growing up so fast and having to learn the rules of the streets while protecting your own family. Reminded me so much of the neighborhood where I grew up in Cleveland. This is a must read for men and women alike.
