About this listen

He’s my villain, my monster, my forbidden path....

Caspian Ivanov and I come from the same dark world. One where the Bratva and the secret society reign. He’s also the son of their ruthless leader.

“I’ll destroy you.”

That’s the last thing he said to me.

It was on the night of the Reaping. Hard to believe we were ever best friends. His vengeance is, however, the price I pay for keeping a secret I shouldn’t have kept. A secret that ripped our families apart. It made us forbidden to each other. That’s when he became the viperous devil. Breathtakingly beautiful, but with a cold black heart.

Like any snake, he wanted to poison me. When our paths collide at Raventhorn University, I stay away from him. What I don’t expect is to become his obsession, or to be forced to become his wife.

Except, we might not get to say I do. Because someone wants me dead.

Cruel Lies is the first part of the Cruel Secrets Duet and is not standalone. It is a dark mafia/secret society college bully romance filled with mystery, suspense, and plenty of sizzling hot steamy scenes.

Please be warned: this audiobook is dark. It contains dubious and other triggering situations that some listeners might find offensive or be sensitive to. Please don't listen if any of that bothers you. The Cruel Secrets Duet is set in the Raventhorn world.

Cruel Lies is a dark new adult college romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Alexander Neal and Sarah Puckett. This is the first book in the Cruel Secrets Duet.

This is the first book of Faith's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I was pulled in from the first chapter and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next. The relationship between Caspian and Willow is messy but I can't help but root for them. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of views throughout the book.

The book ended on a great cliffhanger that left me begging for more. I can't wait for the next book Cruel Promises to be released on audio so I can get the rest of their story.

Alexander and Sarah did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you like dark romances, mafia romances, secret society romances, college romances, bully romances, or romantic suspense.

Get ready for a wild ride. Faith Summers takes us on the start to an incredible journey! This is a dark mafia, new adult, bully romance, packed with action, angst and fantastic characters. Caspian and Willow were best friends. Destined to be together, a secret leads to tragedy and betrayal ripping the friendship apart. Fast forward, the two are now attending Raventhorn University, and Caspian is planning to tear Willow apart. But the pull of their childhood feelings and undeniable attraction is tugging at his heart. There are expectations though and Caspian cannot be with Willow. After finding out she is being followed though, and danger is lurking, will Caspian choose honor or family? Caspian is a complex character and each layer finds a different feeling. Willow is a strong woman, ready to excel at her mission, but her one achilles heel is Caspian. Where does it all end? The cliffhanger is a killer, so I am anxiously awaiting to see just how his story all shakes out! The perfect mix of dark and dangerous with a bit of spicy passion, it left me wanting more!

The narration of this makes the story even better! Sarah Puckett lends her voice as Willow. From a child to an adult, she brings out her emotional load and had me feeling it all her ups and downs. Alexander Neal comes in as Caspian. Dark, dangerous, mean, sweet, protective, angry, you name it, he pulls out all the stops. This character has a lot going on, and he nails each scene. It's a fantastic listen and I look forward to the conclusion.

Dark, twisted and oh so good!!

I absolutely loved it Willow and Caspian were friends until they were 11/12 then tragedy struck and Willow told him a secret she’d been hiding from him which shattered their friendship. Fast forward 7 years and now they are both at college and even though he tries he can’t keep away from Willow and when she’s in danger he’ll do everything to protect her . However that cliffhanger was brutal and book 2 isn’t out yet so I might have to read it .
