When Bryan finally finds the man he wants to be with forever, he thinks his life will be perfect. But it's taken time to convince not only Wyatt that he's sincere, but his own mother as well. Between Wyatt's anxiety to trust again after a brutal breakup with an ex, the ex still trying to wreck havoc in Wyatt's life, and Bryan's own mother's doubts, Bryan is over-stressed. So when Wyatt disappears days after their engagement, he's left devastated and confused.

Lie of the Serpent Reviews

  • Monique

    It's a nice enough story, with soms angst and a lot of hurt/comfort and of course a HEA. The emotions felt very real and believable. There is some mystery, although I found it a bit too predictable and the identity of the perpetrator is confirmed early on. I've read every book by the author under this penname and liked her other books just a bit more. I wish she would publish again under this penname.

    I read this book before it was published and it was excellent. Sometimes I crave a gritty, dark, abusive read that makes me cry. This delivered 100%. Just as dark as the Neko duo and Waves. A great read from an amazing indie author

    The mother is a real monster but the base of her personality (homophobic and smothering "love"), is devastatingly believable. That her son doesn't see it for so long as his lover languishes in her basement is just a stab to the heart. Made me cry so much

    I really enjoyed this one. There was a bit of a mystery mixed in with a lot of angst and hurt/comfort. I really felt like I could feel Wyatt's pain as he suffered at the hands of his kidnapper. And Bryan's emotional turmoil at Wyatt's disappearance feels so real. There isn't a lot of sex in this book as it is more plot based, not just a series of sex scenes strewn together by a haphazard plot--which is what I prefer in the books I read.
