Bury Me with Lies

5 STARS

I stayed up all night reading this book! I couldn’t put it down. The final book in the Twin Lies duet was EVERYTHING!!! Oh, I could definitely be on board to be Baz’s Dirty Girl!!!

This book me had me on the edge of my seat with the mystery of Madison’s death, all the unanswered questions and with my worry for Mackenzie’s well-being. I loved Mackenzie’s character and especially her tumultuous relationship with Sebastian. This book was so worth the wait!!!

I highly recommend this book and this is one series you don’t want to miss! Bury Me With Lies by S.M. Soto is an EPIC read the will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ARISTOCRACY!!!

Loved this story with all the plot twists and secrets. The book kept me in suspense right to the very end. i did start to work out a lot of the twists as the book when on and I guessed whodunnit quite early on with only motive escaping me. I thought there may have been a lot more sinister motives at play once the big reveal happened.

The whole pinnacle of this story (who murdered Madison) seemed to take a back seat for quite a while. I did find it got quite wordy in the middle. The too’ing and fro’ing between Madison and Baz (Sebastian) got quite tedious after a while and it didn’t bring a whole lot more to the story by dragging their relationship out for as long as it did. All that being said, I did fall in love with Baz but something felt missing between the two main characters, I just didn’t quite feel the connection and I think that’s because they spent most of the story pushing each other away that when they did finally decide to give in to their feeling I was over it!

There also seemed to be a whole lot of plot twisting going on in the background and more POV’s from Baz having conversations with members of the the savage’s would’ve helped gel the plot together more and possibly given the characters more of a connection.

Loved the duet and loved this author’s writing as a new to me author. Will definitely be picking up her back catalogue.

This has been an incredible, tough and unforgiving journey. I couldn’t have asked for anything better!

‘Bury Me With Lies’ by S.M. Soto is the grand finale we have all been waiting for in the ‘Twin Lies’ Duet.
In order to be able to read and completely understand this masterpiece of a book you have to had read the first book: ‘Kiss Me With Lies’.

For me, this book was a beacon of light- albeit a dark one- during this proving time we’re going through.
If you have read the first book in this duet, then you know you are left off with a broken heart, so many questions left unanswered and a running mind that won’t shut up about these characters.

I gotta admit, the plot of this book took me by surprise. I did not see any of the things that have happened coming at all. But I guess, that’s what distinguishes an amazing book from just an ordinary one right?

‘Bury Me With Lies’ is nothing but extraordinary, an incredible read I wouldn’t dare put down, a toxic love that will take over your heart and soul.

If you thought the characters had gone through enough in the first book, you will have to prepare and be ready for everything that’s coming their way.
These characters will have to walk through the very worst parts of Hell itself and try to come out alive; they will have to overcome pain, grief, betrayal; learn how to communicate, how to deal with each other, learn how to trust blindly even when it all feels like lies.

Mackenzie’s life has been far from perfect, from her teenage years to now, she has had more pain in her life than most people could take. She is a livewire full of rage and a thirst for blood, a need for revenge woven in her DNA that will put her in danger more often than not.
Mack is strong and resilient but after all, she is still a broken woman in search of the truth and in search of herself. She has strong trust issues, no matter how much she tries to let everything on and move one, it just seems impossible.
The only sliver of hope in her life is the very thing that makes her look crazy and insane to the world, forcing her to grow up, grow a thick skin and try time and time again to put her shattered piece back together.

Sebastian, more commonly known as Baz, is still as hard, dominating and stoic as he was in the first book.
He is confident and resourceful, a man that dominates every room he enters, a shark with no qualms in eating you in one bite.
Due to recent events, he is starting to doubt everything around him, forcing him to look deeper and deeper into their past to make something out of all the lies around him.
Baz is a beautifully strong man who’d go above and beyond for those he cares about, but he also knows what pain is and how dangerous weaknesses are in his world.
He is as closed off as he could ever be, but he will learn how to open up, how to show emotions, how to care for the two most important people in his life, but most importantly, he will learn how to openly communicate, even if it takes time.

Mackenzie and Baz’s relationship is a tough one with more downs than ups. It is one full of hatred, rage, and angst, full of fights and broken trusts.
They are two people who should never be together, two lost souls who found their place in the most unconventional and dangerous of places.

This novel tells a painful story that seems buried too deep to ever see the light of day, one so dark and toxic it doesn’t feel real, a story buried in a decade worth of lies and betrayals.

But it also tells a beautiful and unique love story, one that defies all odds, one that seems impossible but also inevitable.

‘Bury Me With Lies’ is a dark masterpiece that will fill your veins and infiltrate your heart and soul in order for you to find the beauty in it.

A must-read duet written for the broken souls out there, for the lost souls who never stop looking, for the pain-filled ones who are not scared of getting blood on their hands in order to find happiness.
This story will stay with you till the end of time, woven into your being, a beautiful and broken love.

I was dying to get my hands on Bury Me With Lies after reading that epic cliffhanger in Kiss Me With Lies. I had so many questions and once this baby landing on my kindle all of my other books fell to the wayside. Baz was calling my name and let me just S.M. Soto DID NOT DISAPPOINT! This book is epic and my emotions were at an all time high. I was crying, mad as hell, scared and simply mind blown with all of the revelations that were slowly trickling out. I loved Mackenzie’s determination and the love she had for her sister Madison who never let give up. My heart broke for Mackenzie throughout this book, but I loved her even more when she picked herself back up. Baz, oh this fine sexy character was amazing to read. He may have let pride get in his way a time or two, but when it mattered he was there and no one was going to get in his way. Mackenzie and Baz have a fire between them that no matter who or what tries to tear them apart won’t win. I love how the book came full circle. Through all of the tears, suspense, and pain Mackenzie proved the Savages couldn’t bring her down. This DUET is everything and I highly recommend it!!!

Wow…..an amazing conclusion to a duet that has definitely taken me on a rollercoaster of a journey!!!

Bury me with lies continues exactly where we left off and I couldnt be more thankful because after that ending I needed badly to know what was next….
Can Baz and Mackenzie get past events that unfold or is their miss trust of each other to big of a hurdle?
As truths are discovered more lies are told, can you really trust anyone? A huge rollercoaster of a book that kept me glued to the pages just as you think your working things out boom another twist comes along to throw you off course..

Fantastically written book with a brilliant gripping storyline.

Bury Me With Lies by S.M. Soto was a maze of secrets ,twists and heartbreaking passion. Even after finishing it, I am not sure I have all the pieces in right place. This story is that complex and intriguing. Add a high steam quotient to the mix and this story is unputdownable.

This book is the second and final book of the duet so you must read first book else the entire story will be spoiled. Mackenzie Wright is on a war path to take revenge on the Savages for killing her sister. In the process, she falls in love with Sebastian King aka Baz, the rich and powerful owner of the mega hotel and resorts chain. The story begins where Mackenzie is in hospital fighting for her life. What happened? Did someone try to kill her? Will she find her answers? Can she really trust Baz whose friends are cruel psychopaths? Will she destroy Baz’s life? Can Baz love the woman who is determined to take him down? So many questions.

I fall in deeper love with Baz King in this story. Yes he is arrogant alphahole. Yes he can be dangerous when threatened and when someone tries to hurt people he cares for. But the author revealed an unexpected yet fitting soft side in this story. He is feeling betrayed and angry with his so called brothers. He wants to hate Mackenzie for turning his world upside down but he loves her against all odd. He is such a delicious and swoonworthy combo of fire and ice! Mackenzie is the true warrior. She fought against influential people with no morality and went through hell for bringing out the truth. She did some idiotic impulsive things to put herself in harm’s way when Baz had a plan in place. And I was briefly irritated with her. But she made decisions best for her situation. I honour her determination, dedication and resilience. They have a complicated chemistry. They hurt each other with vile words and hateful actions. But that’s all for covering their all consuming love and fiery hot passion. They have sex like they are trying to kill each other. They need each other like air and push each other like poison. It’s a brilliant interplay of love, hate, longing and angst. The storyline kept me at the edge of my seat as it weaved through the lies, the secrets and the deceptions till the very end. No other couple deserve HEA than Baz and Mackenzie.

S.M. Soto slayed me in Bury Me With Lies. The passion. The adrenaline rush. The life changing emotions. Her enticing and edgy writing reached deep inside my heart and soul. And I am owned.

Phenomenal!

“When you love someone, it’s easy to fool yourself into believing it’s hate instead. They’re two sides of the same coin, both one and the same, and the two emotions are starting to blur together for me.”

The suspense and deceit had me on one crazy ride. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time while reading. Every twist and turn holds your captive, and it as you trying to figure out the truth about what happened to Mackenzie’s sister.

““I’m going to take from you. I’m going to take what I want and then leave because that’s what I do. And you’ll hate me for it.”

The heat between Baz and Mack was straight fire, that you can feel coming off the pages.

Honestly, i don’t know how to start this review and how to tell you more about it…
Well, I was waiting like crazy to dive in this book since the first part left me with my jaw dropped in a way…
I needed so many freakin’ answers and from already the prologue with Madison’s POV the author dragged me into her sinister world, in their web of lies, for once again…

“So many fucking secrets. I’m surprised we can even breathe in here. It’s starting to feel as if they’re burying us.”

The story picked up exactly from the point that it left us in the previous book… and i’ll tell you this, Mackenzie’s problems had not an ending and still… she was determined to bring justice to her dead sister and to make these five men to pay….
And even though, she is in love with one of them, that will not stop her… No matter what…

“Twins don’t just share the same face or similar DNA. They share the same soul, the same life. You can’t kill one without killing the other. And that was the mistake they made.
They left me alive.”

I don’t think i can tell you more about this story, since i’m afraid that i will make a spoiler and that is not something that i want to do….
It was a little bit difficult for all these web of lies to unfold and the mistrust between the main couple was reaching another level…. and it tired me a little bit at some point…
But i enjoyed this story and i won’t hide to you that at some points near to the end, i was even moved by some things….

“You don’t trust him; he doesn’t trust you. This is a fucking disaster waiting to happen.”

“There’s nothing he can say that make me trust him. They’re murderers, and they need to be taken care of- put in their place.”

Mackenzie was stubborn as hell and very impulsive. She was acting before thinking and that was bringing her all the times in more troubles that she could handle…
Thank God for Baz!!! Without him, she couldn’t survive and still, after everything that he did for her… she couldn’t trust him…
Yep, there were feelings in the equation, but that mistrust because of all these lies that were standing between them, it could destroy them once for all… Both of them…

“I feel like I’m crumbling. I am broken in every shape and form. My body and spirit are shattered.”

“Our entire relationship had been tainted by lies, and now, we were buried in them.”

“You’ll never be done with me, Mackenzie. You know that just as well as I do.”

I won’t lie to you!!! I had loved Sebastian from the very first moment….
And in a strange way, i always had faith on him… For an unknown reason, i believe that he wasn’t like the rest of them…
And yes, he had made many mistakes himself and he had so many hidden sceletons on his closet, but he had proven himself in here… Over and over again!!! And now, i’ll stop talking!!! Bahahaha…

“Why are you helping me? You should hate me…”
“Oh, i do. But there’s some sick part of me that loves you more.”

“She purposely has a shield up around herself, a vine of thorns wrapped around her heart as her form of protection. Whenever I reach out to grab it, claim her as mine, those thorns embed themselves into my flesh, leaving me to bleed out.”

I really liked this story. It was intense and full of suspense…
From the first moment, the author was making me quest everything and everyone in this book….
As for Madison’s secret??? I had a feeling what it would be and i was right about it…
I really felt bad for all these shits that this girl had to face and then her cruel and unjustified death…
I wish i knew a little bit more about her and some certain things…

“How dare they enjoy themselves while my entire world is turned upside down
How dare they be young and free when there’s a darkness that now taints my soul because of them?” {Madison}

As for the rest of the Savages??? I really didn’t like them a bit, especially after all these ugly shits that they were pulling all the time to Mackenzie… Especially Trent, Zack and Vincent weren’t my most favorite persons in the planet. They deserved the worst.
But you know what??? For one weird reason, my heart was breaking for Vincent in the end….
I’m crazy, right???

“The best love stories are when you fall for the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time.
Our love was unexpected – a chaotic blend of messy and beautiful.”

***I received an ARC for the exchange of an honest review. Thank you!***

You have to have read Kiss Me With Lies in order to read this one. I was left with my mouth hanging open after the first book with that cliffhanger and I was glad to see that this picks right off the ending of the first. There is more deception and lies and so much angst that I felt frustrated with Baz and Mack at some points. But the story will grip you and I couldn’t put it down until the very end when finally my heart stopped pounding.

5 I NEVER Saw Some of the Twists Coming Stars!!!

I’ve been anxiously awaiting the conclusion to the JAW DROPPING ending in Kiss Me With Lies since I turned the last page at the end of 2019! This book picks up right where we left off which just brought me back into the suspense of The Savages and what they’ve said and done!

There’s so many secrets that are coming out in the open that cause Baz to have to make decisions that could change everything he’s always believed in about who his friends are and what they’ve done. And oh Mack she’s a woman that has a vendetta and because of what’s happened in the past, Baz may just come along with her to bring her revenge to a climactic ending!

While we’re on this ride we see Mackenzie change is so many ways. All for the good. She matures almost before our eyes and this powerful love they’re building between them is life changing for them and everyone around them.

Ms. Soto has written a book full of suspense that takes us on a ride that starts from the first page and doesn’t let up until the last page. There were true moments that I was gasping out loud and there’s a darkness that sucked me in and wouldn’t let go. I literally couldn’t force myself to put this book down… I HAD to see what was on the next page and in the next chapter!

Is this review vague? Yes, yes it is. It has to be because I don’t want to provide any spoilers or even hint at what’s to come in this book. If you read KMWL then you’ll understand what I’m saying. If you’ve waited until BMWL to read them both, I say go forth and be prepared to not stop until you’ve made it through both books!!
