Part 3: Evaluate Devious Lies

Nash Prescott was thrift-shop beauty, threadbare and jaded, the memory of something once beautiful lingering as he looked on the world with war-torn eyes.'

Wow, I totally didn’t expect this book and how much I was going to love it. It blew my mind. This book has a gorgeous cover, which is the first thing I noticed. Then it kept popping everywhere and being recommended by a lot of people, and to be honest that always scares me because so many times before I haven’t loved books that everyone else loves. Well, I’m happy to say that this time they were right with the recommendation cause this book was all sorts of amazing and it hooked me from the first word. I don't know where to start, and I know I can't do this story justice in my review, but this is one very special novel. It is FANTASTIC. This is a gem of a tale. It's big, it's gutsy, it's an amazingly well crafted enemies-to-lovers story.I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him.

She could enjoy her pretty, perfect world a little longer. Soon enough, everything she owned would be mine."

Welcome to Eastridge. Enter if you dare. Devious Lies (Cruel Crown, #1) by Parker S. Huntington – eBook Details See what I mean...about the dramatics? I really wish I could see them both in the same saintly light, but I think this book tried too hard with the whole "I feed the homeless, im so selfless and such a good person😩" script that I mostly cringed. This is the second book I read from Parker S. Huntington, and for the second time, I'm left stunned, breathless, speechless. This is a literate masterpiece.PDF / EPUB File Name: Devious_Lies__-_Parker_S_Huntington.pdf, Devious_Lies__-_Parker_S_Huntington.epub Yep. I’m still madly in love with Nash and Emery. They’re so beautifully matched. They’re soulmates and it shows. Like mentioned earlier, Nash hated the Winthrop family. He blamed them for the death of his father. It was interesting to see this character begin to realize that he may have gotten somethings wrong and that he may have feelings for Emery. And then we have Emery. She had this huge guilt over what happened. After her father’s company collapsed, several people lost their job and although she wasn’t responsible for it, she had this guilt. Also, she went from having everything handed to her, to having nothing. She lived in a literal closest trying to make ends meet. But she never lost her spark. This by far has taken me the longest to finish a book as it just dragged on....The first 40% was a confusing mess. I’m still not sure I quite understand it’s purpose other than rambling. From Emery muttering “pretty words”... each chapter was something more rediculous... And obviously, I recommend this to whoever has eyes, too, of course, because that impossibly hot COVER is the cherry on top to a cake you didn't know you needed in your life, but definitely do.

For the record, Heath Ledger played the best Joker, and I’d annihilate anyone who argues with me about it.) This book is about 5 hours too long, there are chapters and chapters that should have been edited out. They were unnecessary and added nothing to the book. The main characters were frustrating. Emery just pissed me off with her stupid stubborn behaviour, but I didn’t hate her. What I did hate though was Nash acting like a complete di**head towards her without any real evidence that’s she deserved to be treated badly. I hate that his actions were basically forgiven, all because he started to feed her. Like are you serious?

Current Discussions

Amidst all these going on in Devious Lies, and fast forward to a couple of years later, Nash Prescott had become a wealthy young man and had a company of his own, while Emery Winthrop, daughter of Gideon Winthrop had become poor. As in, she was very hopelessly poor. I’m all for slow burners but this felt like it was moving at a snail pace, I had to listen to a lot of it at 1.25x speed just so I wouldn’t throw a fit. first things first…this book doesn’t even deserve one star, but here we are. the wait for this review is over hehe, enjoy!<33 Despite their history which we learn about as we go along, this is a slow burn. The push and pull and the warring between them is really well written. The use of words, which is Emmory’s thing is really well done. The two slowly become closer until the inevitable happens, although there are plenty of plot twists along the way. There are some great side characters, and some great villains. Only thing I would criticise is the Reed/Basil situation. There is something towards the end which suggests some intrigue and I did wonder if another book was in the offing about Reed, however the epilogue suggests this won’t be the case? Other than this though it’s a great story.
