Hell.That was my life.Every waking moment, I feared what sort of abuse would be thrown my way.I was Scarlett Adams, invisible to the world.That is, until I learned the truth. *This book is not for the faint of heart. It is dark and emotional. If you are sensitive to dark material, please be warned.
This book is not for the faint of heart or those easily triggered. Scarlett grew up in hell. From the time she could remember her father would do the unspeakable to her. Until one day when everything she knew turned out not to be true. This book is no way a romance but it it very dark. Scarlett’s story had me hooked and I’m hoping there is more for her to tell.
Not for the fainted heart. This author has a way of taking a story and making you feel each part in your mind and soul. I couldn’t stop reading…I read until I couldn’t keep my eyes open but I needed every moment of this book.
Scarlett is such a torn up young lady. She’s gone to hell and back more than a few times and it pained me to read her going through the things she went through. I am extremely eager to see where her story takes her next! I have never been in her position but this author describes each moment she has to a perfect heartbreaking, shattering your soul moment. Part of my heart now belongs to her and I have so many things I wish for her. With men like Dominic and Zevon and even Collin make me wish things were different for her, that she would have this future I have all planned out in my head.
I don’t know what the next book holds for Scarlett or anyone else but you can believe I will be hanging on by a thread waiting to see. I am so consumed by this story it’s gonna take me a moment to go to my next book. It’s dark, twisted, horribly sick at times and you think you’ve seen darkness in books but you haven’t. This had my attention from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down to even sleep! I know this book isn’t for everyone but the story behind it all I feel like it’s worth reading. Way more than worth reading!! So fucking crazy but captivated my attention!
This story was gripping. This is the first book I’ve read by author Autumn Winchester but I will be reading more in the near future. This book was very dark and you’ll feel like your emotions are in a blender. The author did a great job of telling Scarlett’s story so the readers actually feel the trauma that Scarlett endured. This book is a must read and I highly recommend this book and the book that follows. This book is a cliffhanger.
This book is not for the faint of heart, if you have triggers then be careful before reading this book as it goes to some very dark places. That being said, it’s not all dark as there is some hope and light starting to shine through. The plot is a difficult one to read, heartbreaking at times whilst also being intriguing at other times. The characters are very well written. This is book one in a series and so all questions are not answered in this first book.

Loved the book it was great, the story was well written and the characters are interesting. This story of Scarlett was so emotional, she has gone through so much because of her father even treated as a slave but constant lies, on top of that she was kidnapped. Now Scarlett does not know who to trust. It is really dark emotions.

*Some Spoilers* This book is gripping, captivating and draws the reader in and does not let go even after the last page. This book is exceptionally well written, the plot astonishing, characters have depth and growth tangled with realistic array of emotions ranging from hatred, sorrow, protection and love.
The emotional and heart wrenching with the trauma that Scarlett went through and was still subjected to was appalling. When she is drugged and kidnapped and taken away from her father she is terrified as the new people/captors tell her they are saving her and helping her escape her demon.
Scarlett is not talking and the new captors are desperate to get her emotional help after she tries to take her own life. It takes her a while to realize they are not what they seem but that she can trust them and as she talks to them, she shares some heart breaking emotional details. Her father, has been using her for years for his personals pleasure, slave and punching bag and intended to sell her as soon as she complied with his demands to sign over her money. Sadly Alan, her “father” was so manipulative that everyone else turns a blind eye and causing Scarlett to be isolated and at the mercy of her father.
I enjoyed this heartbreaking emotional book, and I can’t wait for the next book in the trilogy. A must read, however if you are a sensitive reader you need to avoid this book as the dark, gritty details of abuse is not pretty.

I was so not expecting what I got from this story. It is heartbreaking and emotional to say the least. I was able to empathize with this character on an emotional level. Autumn wrote Scarlett to be anyone of us, and none of us at the same time. My breath was stolen from my chest just reading about the things that have happened to her. I am amazed at how much I adore her and want only the best for her. This was a great beginning and I am looking forward to the next book!

What happens to a spirit once it’s broken? It either stays that way or it can start healing and rise through the ashes.
Scarlett has endured unspeakable horrors. She had wished for death a million times. Suddenly her world changes. A new path is possible. Along with hope.
This story is really about hope. It is not an easy read, proceed with caution. I shed more than a few tears while reading. My heart went out to Scarlett. Following along her journey you can see her start to transition and its really heartbreaking but also optimistic. As a whole, this is a good read. The cover is beautiful. I need to read the second book ASAP! I give this 4 stars.
This story took me on an emotional journey as I read bout Scarlett. It is one that is hard to read and had me empathizing with Scarlett for all she endured at the hands of a man who should have had nothing but her best interest at heart. Abuse comes in all forms and Scarlet’s ran rampant. This story is poignant, given to the details and once you start you can’t put it down.

Scarlett’s life is a horrific nightmare. Her father is her nightmare and being rescued does not make her safe. It does bring her a healing that she never thought to find and family she never imagined. Can she trust these people who come for her? Who ask that she let them love her when she feels worthless? Can’t wait to continue to read her journey of discovery and love. Please note that this story continues on in the next book because you will become invested in this shattered girl’s story. There are also triggers for anyone who has been pushed past their emotional and physical limits

Darkly intense and an emotional ride. Scarlett needs to have the want to survive. She hits the bottom and with the people who claim to be family, she may have a chance. Enter with caution.
When I started reading Precious Lies, my heart just broke for Scarlett. For everything she went through and continues to go through. I found the devotion of Zevon, Collin, and Dominic heart warming in the way they will do what is needed to help her heal. I look forward to reading what happens next with Scarlett.
