Synopsis
DAX ANDERSON has always been the one to keep it all together.
Virginia’s Review
Trudy always, always, writes amazing books. Books with depth and emotion that are well written. Books that touch on sensitive topics but do so with class, sensitivity and understanding. Books that are just fantastic in so many ways.
And Epic Lies is no different.
Ok, let’s start with the prologue. Holy hell. My heart. Trudy sure knew how to stab me in the heart. It’s gut wrenching and amazingly written. After reading the prologue, I knew Epic Lies would be a winner.
Dax is the drummer of the band Epic Fail. I know, epic name. I freaking love it. We met the bandmates in Book One, Epic Sins. While it is not necessary to read book one first, I recommend you do just because it’s a great book. Giselle is the girl who he meets one night during a bad storm. I won’t get into how and why they met- you need to read to find out. Both have been hurt by lies from the past. Both are keeping secrets. But fate seems to keep bringing them together. It’s up to them to decide if they can both get over their pasts and open up and trust again.
I love how Trudy tells her stories. In addition to alternating between the points of views of the two main characters, she also alternates between past and present. I definitely think this can be tricky and confusing if not done right but Trudy always nails it. It’s all so seamless and flows so smoothly.
Like I said above, Trudy writes about sensitive topics. I do not want to mention the ones brought up in Epic Lies so as not to spoil it. But she touches on them in a way that grabs your heart and you won’t want to let go. While you are feeling empathy for Dax and Giselle, you fall in love with them and hope they can get over everything.
I love how all of the characters from the band Epic Fail are brought into the story. Even though it’s a standalone and about Dax, we get to see the other bandmates as well. Their interactions with Dax made me smile. They are more than a bad. They are friends and like brothers.
Epic Lies is sweet, romantic, full of twists and beautiful. A book about love, loss, forgiveness and second chances in life, it’s a must read!!
I really cannot wait to read the next book in the series.

Epic Sins (#1) – November 4, 2015
Garrett Armstrong, the lead guitarist of Epic Fail, womanizer and not so nice guy, leaves a trail of women in his wake. A recent one-night stand wreaks havoc, and turns his present completely upside down. He’s faced with a reality that he never expected. Never wanted.
Samantha Weston can’t escape the black cloud that follows her. She suffered an unspeakable loss as a teenager and has been climbing uphill ever since. As soon as her life starts to become manageable she’s slammed with another tragic event, forcing her to abandon the only thing in life that she cherishes.
A heartbreaking situation throws this unlikely pair together. They’re forced to face things that seem impossible. Can Sam get past the demons that haunt her? Can Garrett accept a fate he swore to avoid at all costs?
Can they conquer the sins that are poised to destroy them or will they become an Epic Fail?
Epic Sins is the first book of the Epic Fail series, a spinoff of The Forever Family series. Reading The Forever Family series is not required as these are all spin-off/standalone novels, but it may enhance your experience.
