This is a prequel for a new series from this talented author, and what an amazing introduction this is. Enzo and Kai are complex and intriguing teenagers in this story, and he has been raised as the heir of his criminal fathers’ empire. With a final test to assassinate a target, Enzo is taken aback by who his target it. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story, which is raw, gritty, dark, intriguing, and filled with lies. I cannot wait to read the first book.
This quick little prologue is more than enough to whet the appetite and lure reader into needing to know what happens next. Enzo and Kai are caught in a no-win situation thanks in no small part to their fathers. There’s lots of intrigue and passion in this short story, and it opens up so many questions for the rest of the series to answer. I’m biting my nails wondering if I’ll be able to handle those answers when they come.
What a perfect title to begin this series: Lured By Lies. Truely Kia is lured into trusting Enzo. And Enzo finds a small piece of humanity left in his soul to let Kai survive. This prequel promises to be the beginning of a greatly emotional series. I’m anxiously awaiting Taken By Lies the next book in the series!
Thank you Ella!

This prequel novella provides a very tempting start to this enticing new series. Enzo and Kai are introduced to readers here and you know that there story is going to be intense, dark and hot. Edgy, suspenseful and twisty, this quick read leaves you hanging and hungry for more in preparation of book 1, Taken by Lies. I am very intrigued and eager to see where the story goes from here because both these characters seem to be in-between a rock and a hard place
This is a prequel to the Truth or Lies Series. You get a glimpse into the lives Kai and Enzo live. They are fire and ice and their story will be epic.
Kai is sixteen and paying for her father’s debts. Enzo is hired by his father to kill her. He doesn’t know why. That’s part of the mystery.

I absolutely love this book it goes to that love can overcome any obstacles in the way.
This is a prequel to a new series by Ella Miles. It sets the stage for darkness and intrigue in the upcoming books. This book definitely pushed a boundary I didn’t know I possessed because of Kai’s age. She is not innocent and knows life is difficult and hard but is still only sixteen. But, if boundaries weren’t pushed, dark romance would not exist.
I eagerly await the next book o find out Kai’s fate.

Lured by lies is the prequel and introduction to Kai and Enzo and it started off with a bang! For being a short read, it definitely packed a punch and makes me want to find out what’s going to happen to these two very interesting and intriguing characters. Since Kai and Enzo are teenagers in this prequel, I’m guessing we’ll be following them into adulthood and based on the chemistry and circumstances they find themselves in, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Let me say that I “generally” don’t like dark reads, but since this one is written by Ella, I had to give it a shot and I’m glad I did!
Having read many books by Ella Miles and loving them, I was so looking forward to a brand new series from her. I love the dark themes and gritty worlds she creates with dangerous characters and also the innocents that inhabit those worlds.
This was a short prequel novella to set the scene for what looks to become part of a 6 full length book series with an underworld theme..YAY, I love that! To me that means months of continuous dark and delicious drama to savor and look forward to. Double yay!
This prequel shows us a young version, 17 going on 18 year old son and probable heir to the throne of his criminal father’s tightly controlled kingdom. Enzo seems much older as he swaggers through life, fighting for respect, having been groomed since he was a boy to do his fathers bidding, whatever that might be, to prove to him and his men that he has what it takes to step into his birthright when the time comes to do so. BUT…will Enzo be able to fulfill the one demand he’s not sure he can pull off when he discovers that it comes down to killing the scrappy, resourceful,16 year old girl that stands up to him like even a grown man in his fathers army doesn’t have the guts to do? Well, she won’t go down easy, will she?
This was short but a total game of cat and mouse that kept you wondering how it would play out. It ends uncertainly and not how you expect so now I will be on the edge waiting for the next book to put me out of my misery!
