This ended up being a great conclusion to the series. We were sorry to see it concluded, but it had an intriguing plot of who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. The question needing an answer is whether it is one person or more parties involved in determining who EvanAnn's stalker is. The fact that the author kept us guessing, going back and forth between characters, trying to eliminate suspects was exciting.

The characters were fantastic, Damon, the more dominant character in the series, who is protective, obsessive, and one who always needs to be in control, although Hawk and Cam share some of those qualties there less rough around the edges. If a poly relationship was going to work, EvanAnn and her men were a prime example of one that could. The parents of this trio, learning of their relationship, could have added to the burden they were already carrying with who is after EvanAnn. We are glad how things worked out between the families.

If you are looking for a why choose series, we found this one to be fantastic. It was intriguing and suspenseful, had a whodunit feel to it, filled with love, laughter, growth of one's characters, filled with emotion and healing, witty banter, and a cast of wonderful characters.

The chemistry between this trio is off the charts hot, and those sexy scenes that take place in and out of the bedroom are fan-worthy. This was another awesome read, and we were glad that we came across this series and this author, as they are new to us.

Our final thoughts are on who was our favorite character, and that would be Damon, although it was really hard to choose. His devotion to his girl was intoxicating, heartwarming, and what really put him over the top of others were all those little snacks/meals that Damon made for his woman; those flower gifts were just as impressive, making us go awe...

The epilogue was perfect; we loved seeing into the life they created together, without any of them sacrificing their hopes and dreams. If anything, we saw nothing but enrichment, love, and the beautiful life they created together.

what an ending.
I truly was so confident I knew who was behind everything and who was going to be working together like it was Scream all for me to be dead wrong. tbh embarrassingly wrong. I got to the ending like... wait a second no... this isnt what i thought was going to happen... how did I not see this coming from *spoilers here* i absolutely love that in a book! i also loved seeing the way everything came to light with EA and her mom and then with her and Damon's relationship. I dont know why but I was getting weird vibes from her mom like she was going to do something. not sure what i was expecting her to do but every time she was there i was nervous. I love the ending of that though cause honestly her mom and Damon's dad's conclusion was my exact thought. I also loved seeing more into the guys lives and them getting some space from EA the first two was them constantly on her but she was able to breathe a little more in this and get some independence while also some funishments which I mean are they not the whole point?
the epilouge has me intrigued because with all the books ive read by cs im sitting here like do I know the girl with the five guys already... is it who I think it is... I'm pretty sure it issssssssssss

Plot:4/5 • Spice: 5/5 ————> i’m pissed off Brandt literally gets off scott free. There’s no punishment besides daddy’s slap on the write? He literally orchestrated the downfall of EvanAnn. Dragging Chase, Mia, Abby, Jackson, and Olivia with him. The one who obviously took it beyond was psycho Jackson.


I know it’s fiction, but the four of them making it into the same college with all their hopes and dreams in tact? A little far fetched, but still really cute and romantic.


Damon on his worst days will even still always be my favorite out of the three. Hawk next and last but certainly not least, Cam. The three of them together being Evan’s night in shining armor, taking a knife for her, letting her follow her dreams and never settling. So sweet.


The conclusion to this series was sweet. We do get a HEA. Everyone gets their dreams and there’s one big giant bed for them all. She doesn’t play favorite. The epilogue left little to be desired but i know some people live for those “thirteen years later” moments.


Very much enjoyed and recommend this series.

4.5 stars.

Wow what a wrap up and perfect ending to this series. This literally continues right where the cliffhanger of book 2 left us when EvanAnn has had a mishap with a rose and has been hurt. We also continue the plot line of trying to find out who her stalker was and honestly it could be anyone as there is motive there and the timeline could add up for anyone.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and that we got to see a lot more of Evan having some alone time with Hawk and Cam also.

Damon will always be my favourite, just the love and protectiveness he has for Evan and the character growth has been the biggest in my opinion from where we started with him.

The ending had me gripped and on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next and I loved the little epilogues we got.

[❤️Tina❤️]

Here we are at the final book in the series and it did not disappoint!
I loved the character growth for each of them throughout these books but I feel like specifically for Damon and Evan in this one. Evan's kindness really shines through during some of the harder scenes and in her reaction after finding out the truth!

It was great to finally get answers about her stalker but there were so many twists and turns along the way, it kept me guessing!

Of course we got the spicy group scenes that have been throughout this series and they get me everytime. I love their dynamic together, with each of them bringing something different to the relationship! Cam with his fun loving attitude, Hawk with his ability to ground them and Damon with his possessiveness and dominance!

The epilogue was beautiful and I'm so happy we go that look into their future!

Thank you to the author for the eArc for my honest review 🫶🏻

Throughout the series we are on the edge of our seat trying to figure out who is hurting EvanAnn. Plot twist it’s a lot of people but you question who is really there for EvanAnn and who isn’t. I found myself screaming not the cliffhanger in the second book but happy that this series concluded with a happy ever after. Im happy this series is complete and am excited for anyone that wants to binge read this.

Throughout the book you feel like you have whiplash but it’s a ride.…. And finally we are here, a complete trilogy ready for anyone to binge read for someone looking for an academic themed, bully, why choose, taboo and touch her and die vibe.

4.5
This was good. I just wish throughout the series Evan had more solo time with both Cam and Hawke. I also thought the stalker was so obvious and wish it was someone else. Overall really good conclusion.

# Dark Tangled Truths, Book 3 — C.S. Berry

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Stars

They came for her from every direction. Big mistake! — Buckle up, Book 3 does not play nice.


Book 3 is where this series stops playing around. After two books of steamy romance and revenge gone sideways, the final installment raises the stakes higher than you expect — and delivers on every single one.

The central threat is clever and layered — EvanAnn is being targeted from multiple directions at once, and the web of it unravels in ways you genuinely won’t see coming. It is tense from the very first chapter.

The tension in this book builds to a breaking point, and when it snaps, it snaps hard. There is a sequence in the middle of the book that had me reading with my heart in my throat, and EvanAnn’s moment of reclaiming her power is one of the most satisfying things I have read in this genre.

What grounds all of it is the relationship between the four of them. The guys open up in ways that feel completely earned, EvanAnn is honest about what she wants, and every one of them grows into the person they needed to become — not just for themselves, but for each other. The quieter scenes between the action are some of the best writing in the trilogy, and they are exactly what makes the dramatic beats hit so hard.

The ending earns every bit of its warmth. Every choice EvanAnn makes lands with weight, and the epilogue is exactly what it needs to be — messy, full, and real. Have tissues ready.

If you have read Books 1 and 2, do not stop there. The pacing is tight, the writing pulls you in fast, and by the last page, you will feel both completely satisfied and a little bereft that it is over. An outstanding finish to a memorable trilogy — I cannot wait to see what C.S. Berry does next.

[Sarah Furlow]

Book 3 and the final book in Lust & Liars series.


Can we just take a moment of silence that this is the conclusion of The Devils Trio and EvanAnn….


This final book sucked me in and I couldn’t stop flipping the pages. Due to the cliff hanger that ended book two. There were so many thoughts running through my head and to finally know who was behind it all, but did I think that this book would take this route? Absolutely not, this book was more than I expected and I think book 3 was my favorite out of this trilogy.

The amount of suspense that this book had throughout was perfect. It was like every time you turned the page the suspect list was growing, everyone was pinning the turn of events on someone else, but I just had this gut feeling from the events in book 2 that it would be who it was. Did I think it would turn violent, no. Did I think that he would try the things he did, also no. I was genuinely scared for EvanAnn and the outcome of the story at certain parts.


But on a more positive note. Can we talk about the growing relationship through all four of our main characters? The amount of love and feelings they have for another was on another level I wasn’t expecting. It started as revenge but what developed through the four was something that they can never turn away from. Each individual took something different with their relationship. And the way that EvanAnn is the heart of them all. Swoon. Each guy has such a different relationship with Evan and each of them have a nickname for her which I think it just the cutest thing ever but then they all come together as one.



The moment my heart skipped a beat was when they were outed to their parents and Adam walked in on them. Did I think that the scenario that played out would of happened the way it did, no I thought this was going to be the thing that broke them apart and it sort of did but then also bonded them with how all three pairs of the parents took their relationship. And the out of text comments from Cams mom when they came to terms of the relationship, had me dying of laughter out loud. It was great and I loved the way that the parents were so welcoming of the relationship between the four of them.



The man who pulled all the strings, I didn’t see coming but what an insecure man he was by playing the puppet master and everyone involved that helped him with his plan, yes they knew in the end it was wrong but why get ahead hurting someone else? But I will say Chase did finally show himself and what he is capable of but that’s all I’ll say about him. As I fell in love with the story of Damon, Cam, Hawk and EvanAnn and I am so sad that their story is ending but the ending was worth it all but not the parts she endured to get there. If it weren’t for her guys acting like they did who know what would have happened.



And hands down one of my favorite quotes of the book of Damon and EvanAnn:

“You didn’t lose your future with that accident,” she says softly. “No, I didn’t. I gained my future.”


And when EvanAnn is talking to Abby 🫢:

“You know why they like me? Because I’m always their good girl.”




Now onto the next thought, the ending brought up the next interconnected book series that is a total of six books and the little tidbit we got has me intrigued to read all those now too.

ARC review

I waited for so many months for this book and it did not disappoint. CS Berry delivers once again with an incredibly engaging cast of characters, thick plot and lots of steam. Evan and her guys got the incredible HEA they deserved, especially after all the emotional and physical distress they went through to get there.

One of my favorite parts of this book was Evan. Her kindness and courage shone through the entire book. It’s obvious by the end that she’s a serious badass (the scene where she confronts her stalker is SO GOOD), yet doesn’t wish ill upon those who have wronged her, rather hoping these broken people can be helped through therapy. CS is incredible at writing strong female characters who feel deeply, can sometimes struggle to be vulnerable yet emerge brave and resilient through hardships. It’s been an absolute delight to follow Evan’s journey.

There was a lot of character growth for Damon in this book - CS is a master at writing conflict that feels relatable and not too dramatized. I was astonished at these 18 year olds’ ability to handle conflict with maturity, it made my heart swell how hard these four fought for their future. I loved the wide variety of reactions their parents had to their relationship. The epilogue was swoon-worthy, and I cannot wait to see if CS might write any bonus chapters in the future where we see Harper + Horsemen and Evan + Devil’s trio become friends!?!?! I’m sure at some point they would figure out that Mia/Tanner are a common thread between them, and that the Devil’s trio had once tried to hire Jack for digital espionage. Fingers crossed also hoping for a spin-off for Mia.

4 stars because: (1) the spice was great but I was expecting more, maybe because I had freshly finished reading the second book in her Untouched series (Their Twisted Rules) that was so incredibly spicy. This book had a bit more show rather than tell for a few scenes. (2) the mystery behind the stalker had too many red herrings and not enough clues to figure it out as a reader. It all unraveled very quickly in the end in a way the reader couldn’t have guessed. (3) Chase’s character makes a 360 with zero context, I was quite mad that he got a small redemption arc he absolutely did not deserve. (4) I wish we were shown a few scenes of Damon and Evan going to therapy and working through some of their trauma. There was a reference to them talking in therapy about the difference between Damon’s stalking vs Evan’s stalker’s stalking - and that was a wonderful thread I wish we had pulled on more.

I cannot wait to re-read the whole series from start to finish again, I’m certain this is one I will be re-reading often.

I highly anticipated the conclusion to Damon, Hawk, Cam, and EvanAnn’s story. Brutal Little Secrets ended on such an intriguing cliffhanger that I was so amped to find out more about what happened to EvanAnn. As usual, C.S. Berry jumped right into the story at the exact moment we left off, and I love her for that. Starting the book in Hawk’s POV again was centering for me. Of the group of guys, I think Hawk is steady in a crisis; however, it’s clear throughout the book that all three of EvanAnn’s guys love her so much. All of them would do anything in their power to protect her and make her happy, and it has been so incredible to watch the level of that protection and love grow over the course of the trilogy.

This trilogy really packs a punch and delivers so much payoff for readers who love a smart, grounded, and sassy FMC. EvanAnn stays incredibly grounded and unflappable despite everything that goes on around her. There’s so much mystery and so many twists that at times, it was difficult to figure out whether EvanAnn was putting too much trust into the wrong people or if her suspicions were right on target. C.S. Berry truly kept me guessing until the end, and at one point, I honestly decided to take the (motorcycle) ride with them and see where everything ended. I didn’t feel that way out of frustration, but because I was invested for as long as there was more road to travel.

Since this is an RH romance, I enjoyed the dynamic between our guys and gal the most. They’ve been through so much together, and by the end of it all, I really felt like I understood each individual, their dynamic as smaller pairings, AND their dynamic as a group. Damon and EvanAnn always had so much chemistry and connection that it lit the spark, but Hawk and Cam made sure the spark built to a flame that never stopped burning. At times, they all felt perhaps a bit too clear-headed about each other and their longevity given their young age… but to be honest, I loved that about them. With everything that was thrown at them in the mystery and drama of the story, their unit held things down by trusting and supporting each other. Because of that, I believed in them and their love story just as much. C.S. Berry has set a standard for me when it comes to reading RH, and this trilogy is just the beginning, I hope. There was a ton of payoff at the end of this - especially for fans of Berry’s other works as well. The possibilities for future stories downright made me giddy due to the implications.

If you’re looking for a gripping, sexy, wild-ride of an RH romance, the Lust & Liars trilogy is waiting for you!

🖤🔥 Book Review: Dark Tangled Truths 🔥🖤
🖤🔥 By: C.S. Berry 🔥🖤

I just finished Dark Tangled Truths and I am not okay… in the absolute best way possible. This Lust & Liars series completely consumed me, wrecked me, and then somehow put me back together again. 😮‍💨📚

This series had me hooked from the beginning but making it a TRILOGY instead of a duet was the most genius decision ever👏 Because this final book was EVERYTHING. The tension, the unraveling of secrets, the emotional punches, the devotion… it all built to a finale that felt powerful, satisfying, and so perfectly earned. Nothing was rushed. Every moment mattered. Absolute genius storytelling.
And the characters… my god, the characters.

Evanann is the kind of heroine that crawls into your soul and refuses to leave. She’s strong, fierce, vulnerable, and watching her fight for herself and her future had me completely invested.

🔥 Damon, Hawk, and Cam – the devotion, the intensity, the protectiveness… the way they each love Evanann differently but still form this unstoppable force around her? I’m done. I’m ruined. I will never recover. ❤️‍🔥

The tension.
The loyalty.
The possessiveness.
The SPICE 🔥

The way they show up for her in completely different ways while still forming this perfectly chaotic, protective unit around her.

Their chemistry with Evanann is electric—dark, emotional, passionate, and completely addictive. The kind of dynamic that makes you sit there staring at the page like “how is this so good?!” 🥵
This book had me stressed, swooning, emotional, and completely glued to the pages. The twists kept coming, the emotions hit HARD, and every relationship thread came together in a way that felt so satisfying after everything these characters endured.

And then… THE EPILOGUE.
Absolute.
Chef’s.
Kiss. 👩‍🍳💋

It was everything I wanted for these characters after everything they went through. The kind of ending that leaves you staring at the last page smiling like an idiot but also feeling a little heartbroken that it’s over. I closed the book with that bittersweet feeling of being so happy for them… while also wishing I could live in their world just a little longer.

This series didn’t just entertain me—it owned me.

Just know going in…
✨ Evanann, Damon, Hawk, and Cam will own a permanent piece of your soul. ✨
🖤🔥📖

Dark Tangled Truths by CS Berry is the conclusion of the Lust and Liars trilogy. I am telling you now, if you have not read CS Berry yet, YOU NEED TO! Her books will absolutely CONSUME you! If you love a DARK why choose with three sexy, bully, obsessed, possessive hockey players that through the series fall to their knees for one strong and sassy girl, READ THIS SERIES NOW! Such a great end bringing it all together and wish there was more!

One of my favorite things about a C.S. Berry's book is how she keeps you guessing from start to finish. Throughout the series, EvanAnn has a stalker, and the subtle clues sprinkled in had me constantly trying to piece together who it could be. At one point, I felt like I couldn’t fully trust anyone in Evan’s life, seriously. I kept going back and forth, wondering if all the incidents were connected to the same person or if something else was going on. Every time I thought I had it figured out, another twist would send me in a completely different direction. The final reveal genuinely shocked me. We are right back to where book two ended on a crazy cliffhanger! EvanAnn is our sweet and kind girl who we have watched grow into a strong woman fighting for what she wants. These boys, Damon, Cam and Hawk. No words. They are possessive, obsessed, so damn protective and absolutely in deep love with our girl. I loved watching them as they each grew but also always kept EvanAnn at the center always. How the future always included them together as a family and still supporting each other’s dreams. Watching their relationship grow into something so strong and supportive was so worth it all! I can’t express the heat, fire and passion between these four. You will burn while reading these scenes. They are so good!

Such a GREAT end to the series! And the epilogue… So so good. I am here for ANYTHING CS berry writes! Add this series now!

EvanAnn is in the middle of directing Othello, but the drama is more present in reality than it is on stage. After an incident at rehearsal sends to the urgent care, Cam, Hawk, and Damon are more determined to keep her safe. However, life still marches for these seniors, and that includes college decisions, sports, and class work.

They certainly make the best of their time together, though, and keeping EvanAnn safe physically and in cyberspace is a reason to explore their relationship. It's easy to forget how young they all are emotionally, especially when a discovery sends Damon and EvanAnn through a very heated dispute with their parents. While the timing was awful, the entire truth was forced out with a mix of hurtful words, and both Damon and EvanAnn are devastated afterwards. However, their bond with each other and Cam and Hawk is strengthened, and acknowledgements of their respective faults lead to commitments of being more mindful with each other. That is something every relationship could use.

The bullies bully, the creeps are present, and a family emergency puts EvanAnn on stage in the lead role. Instead of making the decisions as director, she is now front and center, putting her in harm's way. The guys are not waiting for the authorities to rescue her, and the stalker is finally identified. It's a roller coaster of who is doing what and why, but it's a HEA.

I enjoy reading of their commitment and devotion to each other develop over the three books, and it's been thoroughly engaging. EvanAnn is certainly the heart of the relationship, and the guys all show their love and appreciation to her. She is a strong character who has a cool and rational presence, but EvanAnn knows that her trio has her back whenever she needs it.

Small spoiler alert: there is a very nice cameo of another CS Berry relationship towards the end.

I am so sad Lust and Liers has finished. I just love this story of EvenAnne, Damon, Hawk and Cam.

I love how they all grow together. Damon and Evan had to do the most growing, but watching them give more of themselves and open up was beautiful.

I always love the dark/soft dynamic. But Evan learning what she wanted and taking it was such a quiet, powerful shift. It felt like watching someone finally trust their own hunger.

Loved every second of their story.
This finale ties every thread together in a way that feels earned—messy, emotional, and full of the consequences they’ve all been running from.

The secrets finally come to light, the betrayals hit hard, and the loyalty between them becomes the thing that saves them. What I loved most is how each relationship deepens without losing the grit that made this series so addictive.

Their love isn’t gentle—it’s forged through trauma, vengeance, and choice—and that makes the softer moments land even harder.

EvenAnne steps fully into her power, Damon finally lets himself be vulnerable, Hawk remains the steady force holding the edges together, and Cam… Cam is the quiet storm who surprises you when it matters most.

It’s a finale that feels like both a release and a promise, and I’m genuinely going to miss this chaotic, devoted little family.

loved this book!!

Dark Tangled Truths, the third book in the List & Liars series by C.S. Berry, continues the gripping, suspense-filled journey through a world where secrets are currency and the truth is never simple. By this point in the series, the story has built a complex web of lies, manipulation, and hidden motives, making every revelation feel significant.

Berry excels at crafting tension that slowly tightens throughout the story. The narrative layers clues and misdirection in a way that keeps readers questioning what they know—and who they can trust. Just when the pieces begin to fit together, another twist surfaces, forcing readers to reconsider everything.

One of the strongest elements of this installment is how the characters continue to evolve. The emotional weight of past decisions, betrayals, and secrets hangs over every interaction. Relationships are strained by suspicion, loyalty is tested, and the characters are forced to confront truths they may not be ready to face.

The pacing strikes a strong balance between investigative intrigue and emotional tension. Berry uses suspense effectively, revealing information gradually while maintaining a sense of urgency that pushes the reader forward. The story feels darker and more intense than earlier entries in the series, raising the stakes both personally and psychologically.

What makes Dark Tangled Truths particularly compelling is the exploration of how easily truth can be buried beneath fear, power, and deception. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that uncovering the truth may come at a cost—and not everyone will escape unscathed.

[Jaclyn Schwimmer]

Finishing Dark Tangled Truths, the final book in the Lust and Liars Trilogy by C.S. Berry, felt like closing the door on a storm I didn’t want to leave. It delivers everything you want in a series conclusion—intensity, emotional payoff, and hard-earned closure.

From the first chapter, the tension is palpable. Berry wastes no time pulling readers back into the tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and complicated loyalties that have defined this trilogy. The final book leans heavily into themes of truth, trust, and the cost of secrets—and it doesn’t shy away from the consequences.

What I appreciated most was the character development. No one is perfect, and no choice comes without fallout. Watching the characters confront their pasts and fight for their futures made the payoff feel earned rather than convenient.

The atmosphere remains dark and tense throughout, but there are moments of vulnerability that balance the intensity beautifully. The pacing is sharp, the twists are well-timed, and the ending ties up loose ends in a way that feels complete while still honoring the darkness that shaped the journey. Everything connects back to the foundation laid earlier in the series.

This wasn’t just a dramatic ending—it was an emotional one. The kind that lingers after you turn the last page.

If you enjoy layered relationships, morally gray characters, and stories where love and truth come at a price, this trilogy—and especially this finale—is worth your time. Highly Recommend!!

[Shifali]

Thank you to the author for an ARC!

Annie and her boys finally found their nitty gritty happily ever after!

A solid 4 stars! To preface, I still think book 1 in this series was the best book out of the 3 but this book was great too!

Annie and her stalker! Oh god. Not to give any spoilers but my mind was spiraling trying to figure out who the stalker was! There were so many “oh my gosh! Maybe it’s him! Or no wait, maybe this is the stalker!” Moments and that was a good thing! It kept me on my toes!

The steam was in fact so piping hot, I was surprised I didn’t get burned!

Ms Berry is known for her smut and the romance so no complaints there but yes, I do wish this book was more steamy. But to be honest, I was too engrossed in the storyline trying to figure out who the stalker was to miss the smexy times too much.

As always, I love Ms Berry’s writing and if anything, she has improved since.

It was nice to finally get a closure to the series and honestly, seeing the boys transition from being Annie’s bullies to her biggest protectors was a treat to read. The character growth was *chef’s kiss*.

Also, soo proud of Annie for standing her ground and not letting her men steamroll over her but yet making them feel like they were in charge and taking care of her. She was a silently strong heroine and I love that in my FMCs!

All in all, it was a perfect ending to the series!

[Samantha]

I was waiting months for the final book in the trilogy to come out and it was so worth the wait! (I was lucky enough to get an ARC which was an extra yay!). The pace of the book was fitting for how much was going on. Between the boys with hockey, Hawk and EvanAnn having the play, the family dynamics, schoolwork, decisions to make about the future... it was never a dull moment for any of them. When the audiobooks came out for books 1 and 2, I did a reread with those and I enjoyed being able to practically hear their voices in my head for this book while I was reading. I look forward Dark Tangles Truths to be on audio to add it to my collection. The spice was about on par with the other books in the series, staying about 3 peppers. The ending was wonderful!! Truly a 5-star ending to go with a 5-star book. The only thing I would have liked to know about is what happened with a couple side characters that I will not name to prevent spoilers. But it changes nothing for the story, it's more my own curiosity. They are mentioned later-on but not in the far future. This has easily become a favorite series of mine, worthy of the shelf. Tropes include forced proximity, step-siblings, reverse harem, stalker, found family.

I had no clue C.S. Berry's Untouched series was in the same universe as Lust & Liars so I am excited to give those a read.

[Rachel]

​I am breathless! Dark Tangled Truths is everything a series finale should be and more. Picking up immediately after the massive cliffhanger of the previous book, the stakes for EvanAnn, Hawk, Damon, and Cam have never been higher. From the moment the story starts with a race to urgent care, the tension never lets up.

​C.S. Berry keeps you guessing until the very last page. Between mysterious warnings and constant "close calls," I was constantly questioning who was actually being targeted. Was it Evan, or were they after the guys?

​What I loved about this conclusion:
​The Emotional Stakes: Watching the group navigate the complications of their unique relationship while being forced to face outside judgment was a total rollercoaster.

​The Mystery: The "whodunnit" aspect was top-tier. I was hooked on every twist and turn, and the author did a fantastic job of keeping the culprit's identity hidden until the perfect moment.

​The Devotion: When the danger finally reaches a breaking point, the Devils truly show what they are willing to risk. They made a claim on Evan, and seeing them use everything they had to fight for their happily ever after was so incredibly satisfying.

​This book has a fantastic ending that makes you wish the story would never end. If you’ve been following the series, this is the perfect, action-packed payoff you’ve been waiting for!

🌟ARC Read 🌟

We pick up right where book 2 left off, so definitely make sure you’ve read the previous books before diving into this one.

I’m going to keep this a little vague because I don’t want to spoil anything, especially if you’re still making your way through the series. I’m reviewing this book as a standalone within the series, not the entire series overall.

I’ve really enjoyed this world and these characters from the start, and that didn’t change here. I still love Evan Ann and her boys, and their connection is what continues to carry the story. That said, this one felt a bit more drawn out compared to the others. There were moments where the added drama didn’t feel necessary and kind of slowed the pacing for me.

The stalker plotline was interesting. It wasn’t a massive shock, but it still had just enough intrigue to keep me engaged and wanting to see how everything played out.

One of my favorite parts was seeing the progression of their relationship, especially getting a glimpse into their lives 13 years later. It added a nice layer of closure and showed how far they’ve come together.

Overall, I still enjoyed it, but it didn’t hit quite as hard as the previous books for me.

C.S. Berry has done it again. If you have been following EvanAnn, Damon, Cam, and Hawk since the beginning of the Lust & Liars series, then you already know this final book had a lot to live up to—and it absolutely delivered.

This book picks up right where the chaos left off, and the tension does not slow down. Between the stalker mystery, family drama, and everything these four have to fight through together, I was completely hooked. Berry does a great job of keeping you guessing the entire time. I had my suspicions about everyone at one point or another.

What I loved most about this book was watching the relationship between EvanAnn and her three hockey-playing chaos gremlins continue to grow. Damon, Cam, and Hawk each have their own struggles, but the way they show up for EvanAnn—and for each other—made the payoff so satisfying. The devotion, the protectiveness, the love… it was all there.

And of course, the spice did not disappoint.

If you enjoy a dark why-choose romance with protective hockey boys, plenty of drama, and a heroine who refuses to back down, then this series is absolutely for you.

So if you haven’t started the Lust & Liars trilogy yet… honestly, what are you waiting for? Go grab book one. Just be prepared—you’ll be flying through all three.

[Chandera]

You will not be disappointed especially in the conclusion of the Lust and Liars books. I was drawn in from the very beginning. C.S. Berry is such a fabulous writer and I just love reading her books and I tell everyone I know to read any of her books. I was not disappointed in "Dark Tangled Truths". After an incident that caused Annie to be taken to urgent care the guys become even more protective with a mystery on who did it, whose the stalker. With how these men are with her just goes to show how much they care about her which was HOT, romantic and sweet at the same time. How they don't want to pretend anymore, want to show how they truly feel. Or even wrap her in bubble wrap, which I laughed over just picturing. They may each have there own problems which just adds to the debth of the book and books. I highly recommend reading the trilogy of Lust and Liars, this isn't a standalone book you have to read "Whisper Pretty Lies, and "Brutal Little Secrets" before this one. You wouldn't be disappointed.

I was given an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review.

[Claire Tang]

I received Dark Tangled Truths as an ARC, and I was absolutely over the moon about it, especially since I was lucky enough to read the first two books in the trilogy as ARCS as well and completely adored them. This final installment was the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable series, and of course it deserved five stars from me once again!

Over the course of the trilogy, I've grown so attached to EvanAnn, Damon, Hawk, and Cam. Watching their journeys unfold has been emotional and intense, and while I'm so happy with how everything wrapped up, it's bittersweet knowing their story has come to an end. C.S. Berry delivered a powerful, satisfying finale that ties everything together beautifully while still packing the punch fans expect.

If you love dark romance, this series is a must-read! With irresistible enemies-to-lovers tension, primal MMCs, forced proximity, and so much more, Dark Tangled Truths delivers all the angst, passion, and drama you could want. It's available to buy now and I can't recommend it highly enough!

[Amy Argyle]

The magnificent final installment of the Devils Trio as they secure their Queen

The final installment of this “why choose”, intense dark academia / sports romance has EvanAnn & the Devil’s Trio navigating their unconventional relationship(s) while battling a myriad of issues. Continued stresses from the stalker, uncertainty of friendships & other outside forces put intense pressures on the group. In addition, the question of acceptance from family members, the culmination of Evan’s production, and the groups looming futures beyond graduation sit heavy as the story comes to its dramatic, yet bittersweet conclusion.

C.S. Berry created such a lush story filled with passion, angst, joy, sorrow & obsession. The twists & turns will keep you on the edge of your seat all the way through to the end. As a Berry fan since the Kindle Vella days, the cameos from her other series were such a treat as well! I will certainly miss these characters but hope to see them pop up in her future stories.

** I am thrilled to be part of the ARC team (in exchange for my honest review). **

[Leah D]

This was a pretty satisfying conclusion to the trilogy. I think that in the end, the resulting consequences were absolutely ridiculous for the person/people (zero spoilers here) responsible in the end. They should definitely have been in a lot more trouble.

That being said, this was pretty good. We pick up right where we left off in the second book and things get absolutely nuts in this book. We get a lot more development with each of Evan’s relationships and the way these guys care for her and how they show it is just perfection. There are some bumps in the road here but they tackled the issues together in a mostly mature way.

There is one massive issue in this book which made this a frustrating experience for the reader. There are multiple times that we switch between character POVs but the names were all wrong, literally just random letters. You’d have to read far enough in to see which person isn’t named outright to figure out which persons pov you’re reading from. That definitely should have been fixed in editing.

not enough banter

🎧 I listened to the audiobook for this one. Duet multicast narration. The performances were good and worth the listen.
📚 the story had enough to make me want to read. It cleaned up all my questions. But there wasn’t enough lighter moments to bring some banter in. Cam has a fun personality that could have been used a lot better at bring in more lightness every now and then. Give the guys a bit more backstory, showing how they have a past together and how close they are. There was enough plot tho to keep the story moving. It was slow at times. We did not have a female who I trusted enough and who was close enough to us for me to give a star for a female who never betrays us. Keira was someone but we didn’t even talk to her on the phone. She wasn’t close. Doesn’t count. And no star for banter.
🌶️ full of 🌶️ almost too much for my tastes and with no real reason for it. I like 🌶️ but it needs to make sense or move the story along. There was too much of the same 🌶️.
⭐️ all in all it’s a 2.5. Not bad but not my favorite.

[Bobbi-Ann Wight]

This was the perfect ending to an amazing trilogy.

So one of the things I love about a C.S. Berry book is that she leaves you guessing the whole time. So, through the whole series, Evan has a stalker, and there are little clues that have you guessing who the stalker could be. At one point, I don't think I trusted many people in Evans' life. Lol. I was wondering if all the incidents were related to the stalker or a different person. Just when I'd think I knew who it might be, she'd throw another hint out there. The whole unraveling had me shocked.

Another thing I loved was the character growth and the way their relationship revolved around Evan and keeping her safe and protecting. But also at the same time not giving up on any of their futures. Holding each other accountable and not letting each other settle. The relationship turned out amazing.

I can't wait for my next read by her.
