Truth

by James Crow

TRUTH … nothing but the truth
Locked away in the dirty bin – that’s what they called it – a big metal box for the criminally insane. The no-hopers, left to fight for scraps. And fight for their lives.
I thought I would die in that place. Until the priest arrived.
Father John said he believed in me. And that he believed he could save me.
All I had to do was be truthful – the whole truth and nothing but.

James Crow did it again.
I don't know how his mind works, but his books are really amazing, in a kind of crazy way.

I never know what to expect, the twists and turns are out of the blue...

When I think: ok, he can't do worst, this is just kinky as it gets, he goes kinkier...

It got violence, hot sex, non consensual and consensual sex, religion can be offensive for some people.
For me? Well, I really love this dark and twisted stories...


Again... This is not for all, a lot of triggers and very hardcore stuff.

[The Erotic Book Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have no words, but then I have so many words. When my book bestie Char said “you ain’t seen nothing yet” after I told her what part I was on, I knew then that I had to regroup. I took a day to clear my mind so that I could clear some space and make room for what I knew would be some of the most creative, sadistic, savagery ever written. I dove back in and and allowed Dani’s demons to take me by the hands as we happily skipped along these pages into this twisted world. Some would see Dani as a mentally ill young woman traumatized by her past and not in her right mind. That she’s acting out so to speak, but they would be wrong. Every moment, every encounter, every situation is calculated and planned. With the help of her conscious that was Linnie, she was able to survive the horror of her life. Yes, it’s true she has no soul, but who would when put in these “predicaments”? You have to be soulless to survive in this tale. This story could only be written by James Crow. As much as I cringed and covered my mouth at times, I was equally drawn, mesmerized, and fascinated. There were even moments where I could imagine the thrill and ecstasy that Dani felt. This story tapped into that forbidden dark place of my conscious where fantasies lay dormant, but are itching to come out and play....yes, I bit my lip at times and closed my eyes...imagining and reveling in the possibilities. A gradual high that crescendoed into an explosion of blood, laughing demons, and a woman on a mission of freedom. The ending was perfect and showed that she was very much in touch with her delicate, human side, but if pushed, her twisted alter ego would gladly oblige. Simply brilliant writing as always. Kudos James and thank you for this sadistic adventure!

The conclusion from Dare:. I was so excited for this book and yet scared I will be totally honest. Haven read every book by this author... I get the tingles. He has a brilliant be way with words. His mind is so dirty with his sexual experiences, but also the demons he portrays in some of his characters has one bitting their nails. So let me start off with Dare... I knew going in with that book I was going to be scared out of my mind at times with the dirtiest way James wrote the book. My God did he make me want to vomit, hide under the covers and then turn every page I could.. but I couldn't put it down.... So going into truth I had to know what was going to happen with Dani.... Was to pure evil.. was she going to get help, would she find religion... Well let's just say I finished the book contacted Jes and told him I will never look religion the same again!!!!! This book had me from the first chapter. I could not put it down. I wanted Dani to survive become reborn... Be at peace. I so want to add so much to this review but I can't give spoilers.. so I will leave this... A dirty sexy oh so devious priest.. rosery beads used in a way that God could strick u Dead, nuns... Oh nuns, and a church for the forgiving sinner.... Oh we all need a church like that reading a James Crow book. Sign me up especially if James is the priest!!!!!

James has done it again.
Just when you think his evil kinky twisted mind can't get any filthier.
Dani will blow your minds!
Father John is a demented evil priest.
If you're looking for a diabolical filthy twisted read...
This book is for you.
James I love your beautiful twisted mind.
Bravo!!!

Hold on tight as you delve back into Dani’s world. Trouble is never far away as the continuation of her story unfolds. She like a magnet that attracts wrong doing and my heart hurt for the life cards that she has been dealt. Her vulnerability and the tragic situations she always finds herself in, really hits home in this book.

Abused and taken advantage off all her life, the next episode of Dani’s life is just as horrifying but you daren’t look away for a moment. Dani has childlike traits and innocence that could sway a fool but her madness and her inner strength is fascinating and gripping as more of her layers are peeled back.

It’s tantalisingly dark, and oh so filthy and twisted. It had all the feels and chilling scenes that will never be forgotten. I particularly loved how some of the scenes had me questioning my own reactions. The seesawing of emotions escalated this story to epic status and is one of those books that I will want to read again and again.

Step aboard Dani’s crazy train and experience all the highs and lows with her. All hats off to Mr Crow for producing a story that left me speechless and experiencing a frenzy of emotions.

[Nico · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dare is one of my all time favourite books with its intriguing unique story and fantastic characters in Dani and Drew. I was so looking forward to this sequel and Wow, it certainly lived up to expectations and much more. Dani Walker is a complex character, multi faceted and other worldly - what is reality and what are figments of her imagination? I know I could re read this book and find something new every time as I did with Dare. This author never ceases to amaze me with his fertile and at times warped imagination. He clashes religion and all its symbolism and mashes it up with highly erotic and sometimes painful scenes that remain fixated in ones brain long after you finish reading it! It’s once again an intoxicating mix of extreme erotica interspersed with a poignancy associated with a damaged, vulnerable and troubled Dani. You want to hug her and fear her all at the same time. It’s a huge Truth filled five stars from me

[Lindsay Crook · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was absolutely over the moon to know James was releasing Truth.Being back in the crazy world of Dani is all I hoped for..I loved being back with some of my old favourites from Dare.Dani is just as crazy and just as dirty but what shocked me this time around was how much Dani broke my heart she's just such a tragic character and the abuse she suffered tugged at my heart strings..Two words that sum up Thruth for me are Feelings and Filth and I loved every page.

[Patty · Rating 5 out of 5]

The Truth shall set you free. That's the short version of this story and what a story it is! Dani is "saved" by Father John and she will do anything to be absolved of her past crimes. This is her story and is definitely not for the faint of heart. So, if you're wondering what happened to Dani after Dare, here's your chance!

[C.K. Marie · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the things I love about James Crow and his books is... NEVER assume you know what is going to happen. Whether it's a series or a standalone, I always go in with an open mind and zero thoughts about the story plot. His writing style is unique and he loves to keep you on your toes and hit you with those WTF moments. That being said, let's get to TRUTH.

What happens when you mix a DARE with a deranged Preist? You get the TRUTH and nothing but.
Dani is back and the craziness is off the charts.
There is no slow start to this book... it is unhinged, uncut, and raw from the first page to the last.
I don't like to give spoilers, so I'll just say... if you are a fan of all that is James Crow then you will not be disappointed. TRUTH took hold of my emotions and didn't let go. I cried, cringed, and cheered for Dani and I fell in love with her even more.
A 5 STAR EPIC read.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dani was left broken & alone locked away in a metal box for the criminally insane with no hope of freedom…. until Father John and a few of his unique friends came along with a promise of life outside those four walls, all she had to do was share her truth.

James Crow tells Dani's truth with a mixture of hot, kinky, twisted sexual scenes, some brutal heart-breaking scenes and a splash of humour.

TRUTH can be read as a standalone but to fully understand Dani and her truths, I would highly recommend reading DARE first.

[Danielle Monteleone · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can never find the right words to describe James Crow’s stories. I feel I can never do them justice. This one in particular just blew my mind. I loved Dare and needed more of Dani. This book did not disappoint. It’s incredibly twisted and crazy good. Only James Crow and his brilliantly talented mind could weave such a tale.
Of course the end totally had me cheering for Dani and completely hungover.
Phenomenal!!!!

[Tiffany (Bibliophile Babes Book Blog) · Rating 5 out of 5]

We asked for the Truth, and James Crow gave us that and so much more. After reading Dare, and after my initial WTF reaction, I was obsessed with figuring out what was truth and what was not. I read and re-read Dare several times over and while I developed a greater understanding and appreciation for James Crow's writing I still was no closer to unraveling the mystery that was Dani Walker. And incidentally Dare become one of my favorite books. So to say I was overjoyed when I heard Truth was coming out is an understatement.

Finally I could get my questions answered and know what become of the infamous Danielle Walker. But in true James Crow fashion nothing is as straight forward as it seems. I was hooked from the first word to the last. Dani's newest tale of truth and redemption is a wild crazy ride with things that could only happen to her. This was so much more than a story of truths unfolding it's a rollercoaster ride of epic proportions. Thank you so much Mr. Crow for giving us the Truth, and then some 😉. A definite 5 star read!!!

[Nancy A · Rating 5 out of 5]

I shall tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help me Dani !!! This is a wonderful follow up to Dare where we learn what happened to our girl Dani after she was locked away. I honestly don’t have enough words to describe just how good this book is . Dani has been saved by the handsome priest , or has she ? I can’t say too much without giving away spoilers but once again James Crow has surpassed himself with his unique and stunning writing . Please try to read Dare first and enjoy this crazy ride . A daring and dramatic 5 star read .

[Vickie L · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been waiting for Truth! Dare was a book that has stuck with me. It made me think about what could be done so Dani could be saved. This book will definitely be sticking with me! It was such a thought provoking read! It was such a brilliant premise! It was absolutely phenomenal!

[Tilly · Rating 5 out of 5]

You really need to read Dare before you dive into this one as it’s a carry on and you really need to get into Dani’s head... well you can try too!
There’s no build up it just drops you into Dani’s world and tears you apart especially the friendship / bond between Dani & Linnie. This scene actually had my heart racing and saying... Don’t you dare!!! James I’m gonna actually kill you!!! Please don’t and then BOOM!!!! I had to stop and put the book down and think over what I’d just read and then carry on.
If you think this is your normal priest book it’s NOT and it’s not for the faint heart either.
Anyway I think it’s a must read. It’s darker than dark and I’m glad Dani had another book.

[Lynn Stifle · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was so excited to read Truth and more about Dani! Dani is back, as crazy as ever, and I fell in love with her just a little more. This book definitely didn't disappoint. It totally blew me away, it's dark, twisted, and filthy, that's true with James' imagination. What can I say, I loved it, it's truly a phenomenal story, it really made me hate the words "The End." You need to read this book, you won't regret it.

OH MY ❤
James Crow is the King and a Master of kink at it's finest
Filthy twisted and just oh so good
A Must Read ❤❤❤

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Once again James Crow blows the mind. In this sequel to Dare, we get to read what became of Dani Walker. We learn she was saved by a priest, Father John, who was every bit as messed up as Dani. He takes her in and the two unleash their inner demons on each other. Dare, and now Truth both take you into a world that tows the line between what is real and whst isn't. It is not light reading but delivers a punch. If you like reading on the darker side, and haven't read Dare, start there, then read Trust and let Dani grow on you

[Lesley Edwards · Rating 5 out of 5]

We meet Dani again, locked in a hellhole with no escape, along comes Father John could he be her saviour...he only needs the truth.
A book only Mr Crow could write it’s full of twists, turns and everything in between, does she get her escape or is the outside world even worse.
A dark, filthy read, not for the faint hearted but what a read.

[Frances · Rating 3 out of 5]

To tell the Truth and to learn how the Truth will really set you free. Dani is at it again, with her tales of surviving the evils of the world.

Father John is a savior or is he something else? He call himself helping Dani but all he is doing is being deceitful and he thinks it’s working. But Dani being her marvelous self will help the Father tell the Truth.


This is a good story but in the middle it became a little unnecessary.

[Rosemary Pollock · Rating 5 out of 5]

How do you save a woman who has committed the brutal crime of killing? Why you throw her in a looney bin! Then you give her to a priest, who tells her that the truth will set her free and he shows her via erotic whippings, insertion of papal dildos, and eventually the big F with the addition of a rosary. But Father John has his own demons and at the end (pun intended) with Dani’s help, his truths too set him free. Perversions abound in this book and I will now look at priests with new eyes, thanks to the author.

[Night Owl Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stunned and mesmerised is how I felt while reading this latest masterpiece from James Crow. Dani is back larger than life. As she has been all of her life she is abused and used yet again. Father John could be her saviour if he can resist the temptations of the flesh. Dani is crude, filthy and I just can’t help but love her so much. Definitely a must read book and if you haven’t you need to read Dare before Truth. Highly recommended.

[Joce · Rating 5 out of 5]

Truth blew me away. I was so happy to see Dani back and never would have guessed where life took her so I was happy to see James continued her story. There where moments I definitely didn't expect and was impressed with how James pulled it all off, this is why this book was so great. Truth is sinfully HOT and will have you engrossed from beginning to the very end.

[Antoinette · Rating 4 out of 5]

WOW!

Ok this was a great continuation for Dare. Dani is alone in her tiny bin until Father John comes into the picture.
This book has all the twisted kinky sex you expect from James and then some. I loved it

[Theresa · Rating 4 out of 5]

What is the Truth?

Another great story by Mr Crow. The imagination is endless and the erotic horror in this story is intense at times and the truth is that you don’t want the sick and foreboding roller coaster to end. I hope there is more Dani in the future.

[Darlene Loop · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is so so good, all the things going on in this book had me at the edge of my seat, well written, twisted plots, it was very unpredictable loved it so much

Wow! WOW! wOw!
This author has done it again. Dani’s story is one like no other. It dark and depraved, it taboo and so twisted. 5 magnificent stars!!!!

[Chris Horrocks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed the sequel always good to see the heroines living happily ever after. Defiantly continues the journey from where we left her in the first book Dare, she’s still a little minx.

[Amanda Anderson (Beauty.and.the.bookies) · Rating 5 out of 5]

The truth is....I AM IN LUST WITH JAMES CROW'S WRITING!!!!!!
I loved book 1 but this one? WOW. I LOVED IT EVEN MORE!!!! Just when you think you know something will happen, something else does. I know this is funny to say but I could sense growth in Dani throughout this book. The priest dang he was something else. The darkness and sex in this book had me entranced. This duet ia like nothing I have ever read before but since finishing it I am reading another James Crow book (Six) and it is consuming me also. AND I have bought these paperbacks and I just want ALL of James Crows books. I am so happy I found this author and can read the madness that is his mind.

[Kaye Lynne Booth · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are no lengths Danielle won’t go to in order to gain her freedom, and enemies may become allies faster than you can blink. A prison break that exchanges one kind of cage for another, dragging Danielle into a bizarre world where nothing is sacred, murder seems to be an everyday occurance, and everything revolves around sex. Trapped, it seems there’s no where to escape to, except to the deepest chasms of her mind, and that, my friends, can be a very scary place. Once again, as readers, we’re faced with decifering the unimaginable truths, from horrifying fantasies to determine what’s real and what isn’t.
