- Stacey Lynn, author

Little Lies, an all-new, angsty and emotional new adult romance from New York Times bestselling author Helena Hunting writing as H. Hunting is out now!

I don’t want you.

You mean nothing to me.

I never loved you.

I turned my words into swords.

And I cut her down.

Shoved the blade in and watched her fall.

I said I’d never hurt her, and I did.

Years later, I’m faced with all the little lies, the untruths, the false realities, the damage I inflicted, when all I wanted was to indulge my obsession.

Lavender Waters is the princess in the tower. Even her name is the thing fairy tales are made of.

I used to be the one who saved her.

Over and over again.

But I don’t want to save her anymore.

I just want to pretend the lies are still the truth.

Excerpt

The front door swings open, and the never-ending nightmare that is this day smacks me in the face like a long-expired sausage. Kodiak stands in the doorway wearing only a pair of swim shorts, wet hair sticking out all over the place, water dripping on the damn floor. But God, is he ever glorious. Muscle layered over muscle, thick biceps flexing as he holds the doorjamb, a mischievous grin popping the dimple in his left cheek.

My heart seizes and gallops. I miss this version of him: the one that smiles and doesn’t hate me.

He ruins everything a moment later by bellowing, “Who’s fucking in the driveway?”

His gaze moves to Dylan, who looks as horrified as I feel, but as it shifts to me, his smile drops and my stomach tightens.

“You should really go,” I tell Dylan.

“I’ll see you around.” He disappears into his car and barely has the door closed before he’s backing out of the driveway and screeching down the street.

I adjust my backpack on my shoulder and head for the house, steeling my spine and my nerves because Kodiak is still standing in the middle of the doorway, his face a mask of indifference. I try to brush by him, but he stays where he is, making it impossible.

I sigh, exhausted beyond belief. I just want to go upstairs and have a good, cathartic cry. I try to mirror his apathy. “Can you move so I can get into my house?”

His brow furrows as his eyes move over my face. He lifts his hand, like maybe he’s thinking about touching me. There’s no way I can handle that. I jerk back and swat his hand away. “What are you doing?”

“Your lip is bleeding.”

“Don’t act like you actually give a shit, Kodiak.”

“Tell me what happened.” His voice is low and soft, and for whatever reason, that makes me even angrier, so I lash out, wanting to wound him the way he keeps wounding me.

“You, Kodiak. You happened, and you ruined my goddamn life. Now get the hell out of my way.” I elbow past him, almost tripping over several sets of running shoes.

I head straight for my bedroom and lock the door behind me. I slide down the wall until my butt hits the floor and close my eyes, taking deep breaths.

I imagined the concern in his voice.

I imagined the pain that sat heavy behind his eyes.

We see what we want to, not the truth, especially when it hurts.

**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**

Little lies is a friends to enemies to lovers new adult romance. The prologue had me on the edge of my seat and hooked me to the story right away. It really broke my heart and I was looking forward to seeing how the story would play out. The main characters are Lavender (daughter of Alex and Violet from Pucked) and Kodiak (son of Rook and Lainey from A Lie for a Lie). They have known each other their whole lives and have a very complex and unique friendship. Because of circumstances their friendship is over, however, when they come across each other when Lavender transfers to the same college he attends years later, they will have to confront each other on what happened that broke their friendship. I couldn't believe how much Kody had changed and how he treated Lavender in present time. I really didn't like him in the beginning.

I loved Lavender and enjoyed seeing her grow in this book. She went from a scared and timid girl to a strong and independent young woman. I thought she and Kody had a very special bond and I connected to them as a couple. They both had a lot of growing to do and I really liked that they let the other to this on their own. They had to take care of themselves and not rely on the other to make them feel better. I normally am not a big fan of new adult romance, but thought that this was a great one. All the supporting characters were awesome as well, and I really hope they will get their own books. I also enjoyed seeing some of my favorite characters make an appearance in this book. I haven't read Helena's Pucked series, but this book has definitely made me want to bump it up on my TBR list. Little Lies is a fun, very sexy, and sometimes emotional new adult romance. I highly recommend it.
