The Masked Truth

By: Kelley Armstrong

Narrated by: EJ Lavery, Gary Furlong

Riley Vasquez is haunted by the brutal murder of the couple she was babysitting for.

Max Cross is suffering under the shadow of a life-altering diagnosis he doesn’t dare reveal.

The last thing either of them wants is to spend a weekend away at a therapy camp alongside five other teens with “issues.” But that’s exactly where they are when three masked men burst in to take the group hostage.

The building has no windows. The exits are sealed shut. Their phones are gone. And their captors are on a killing spree.

Riley and Max know that if they can’t get out, they’ll be next—but they’re about to find out that even escape doesn’t equal freedom.

the masked truth

great story grest tention and loved the ending really really great. This is why Kelly will stay my favorite writer!

Perfect mental health depictions

firstly I have to point out that the representation for PTSD, Anxiety, Suicidal Ideations, and Schizophrenia are SPOT ON. I think this is a must read if you have a particular stereotype about schizophrenia in your mind. murder + love story always wins in my book.

Loved it and hated it

This was a rough one. The first half just rambled on and on and on. The second half was more interesting with some fun twists. It was a read at 2x speed for me.
