Synopsis (Goodreads):
When one of Santa’s reindeer meets a grisly end during the annual A Downtown Dickens Christmas Festival, Rue realizes her enemies are closing in on her location, and Samford will pay the price.

But when one creature turns into two, and two into three, and then three into four, Rue knows the problem is bigger than a singular threat to her new hometown. And that’s before a holiday shopper strolls into Hollis Apothecary claiming to be a long-lost relative. Of her father’s.

As old loyalties are tested and new relationships threaten to unravel the fabric of her identity, Rue must choose either the family she was born into or the one she created for herself, and the losing side might not survive her decision.
Thoughts on Black Truth, White Lies: Oh my goodness. RUE AND COMPANY. *heart eyes* Rue is this glorious mess (but not nearly the mess she was before) and she's unintentionally and very grudgingly surrounded herself with people who support her and keep her from backsliding and I AM SO HERE FOR IT.

Rue is seriously digging her feet into even the idea of putting down roots without ever realizing just how many roots she has holding her to Samford. Between her business and Arden and Camber, the home she's built for Colby, and the people of Samford who have accepted her as one of their own she's invested. Throw in having her BFF Clay back, a new potential ally she offers sanctuary to, and the slowly progressing relationship with Asa and, well, Rue is practically tied up with a bow.

Beyond Rue's ties she's attempting to downplay, she's also dealing with tracking down the supernatural critters that are causing a little havoc in the area. Trying to fly under the radar while hunting blood-hungry creatures isn't as easy as it sounds.

We get answers to questions that have been simmering in the background plus Rue stepping into a role she needed to step into, a deepening of her relationship with Asa and his daemon, and a whole lot of found family. Good stuff.
