Horror is Odessa “Opie” Powys’s truth.
One with muddied memories and haunted dreams.
Finding and putting the pieces of her shattered life together is impossible.
Hiding herself and her truth is the only option.
Until the force that is Deo Dahl notices her from across a crowded bar.
Not one to back down from a challenge, Deo pulls the seemingly shy Opie out of her comfort zone, arousing courage inside her to not only face her abhorrent demons, but to also hunt them down.
However, Deo has horrors of his own, evil he’s fought to conquer his whole life. Just as they begin to reveal their truths, Opie’s past returns, turning Deo’s nightmare into a reality he might not survive.

I have known since I first picked up one of her books that
Kelli Jean was a literary goddess but I swear she just keeps getting better and
better with each word she writes. She
absolutely destroyed me with Ten Thousand
Words. I was her captive from the very first page. The amount of emotion packed
into those pages is astounding. I ran
the gamut of them. Normally I shy away from books that touch on
these kinds of topics because I have triggers but I was able to read this
without problems because she gave me heroes to grasp onto.
And what a hero she gave.
Deo Dahl, a giant of a man.
Tattooed and bearded—and we all know how I feel about that. He’s loud and crass but he’s got the hugest
heart. This man right here is going to
be your next book boyfriend, you won’t need any other. I promise you that. I never thought anyone would top Phil
Deveraux in my heart but Deo Dahl just did.
Then there’s Opie, oh my Opie. My
heart just breaks for her. If you’ve
read the other books, you get hints that there’s something gut-wrenching
there. I wasn’t expecting that. But she’s a survivor. She’s slightly quirky, a little bit sassy and
a whole lot of vulnerable. Seeing her
blossom is beautiful, hopeful.
I needed a ton of tissue, chocolate and whiskey to get
through this book. Ten Thousand Truths isn’t a sweet soft romance, there’s nothing
trope about it. There’s suspense,
action, and holy sh*t is there steam. But it’s so much more. This is probably one of the most difficult
books I’ve had to read this year but also one of the most beautiful. It’s about healing, about strength, about
survival. It’s about giving a voice to
the voiceless. It’s a damn masterpiece. It grabs hold of you and won’t let you go
until you turn the last page. And even
then it’ll stick with you. -Peace and Love, Buxom J
I am going to keep this short and sweet because if I don’t then I will give away everything and that is just not fair. If you have not read Ten Thousand Words or Ten Thousand Lies, you are way behind and need to hop on the damn train. It is such a great ride. Kelli Jean took a walk on the dark side a bit here. I mean barely a step or two over but damn was it nice. This girl is a literary god.
Ten THousand Truths had me from start to end. I fell for Deo. I fell for Opie. I fell for everything and everyone in this book. We catch a few glimpses of Deo Dahl in the two books before Ten Thousand Truths, but this is where he becomes the stuff of wet dreams. You think I am kidding, but oh I am not. He is hunky and beautiful in all of his tattooed glory and I just want him in my life. He already owns my heart. Especially with the way he seems to get Opie and click with her, right off the bat. Opie has been the the wringer and come out swinging. She is fighting her demons mentally and trying to physically. Deo and Opie together.. Meant to be. PERFECT.
Now Im not making sense. That’s what Kelli Jean does to me. She ruins me. I’m not even mad though. Just read the book. It’s so very good. - Daddy L

Author Bio
Born and raised in Miami, Kelli Jean traded the tropical heat for the arctic. Now she deals with twenty-four-hour daylight in the summer, zero sunlight in the winter, and believes the Northern Lights make up for the mind-boggling amount of ice and snow she has to put up with for seven months out of the year. She’s surrounded by mountains and ocean and sheep, and claims her bizarre sense of humor is what keeps her sane.
The insane don’t know they’re insane.
Kelli uses her imagination to create worlds she can escape to from the mundane tasks of everyday life, such as washing the damn dishes and vacuuming up Legos off the floor—and don’t get her started on the mad amount of cat hair on the end of the couch. She gave up on that a long time ago. When the household goes to sleep at night, she writes down everything that happened in her head while doing such tedious chores. But she enjoys living in her own head, so that’s pretty cool.
Technology terrifies her. She can barely turn on a computer, and was completely shocked when she’d actually written a book on one. To this day, she has no explanation for this baffling mystery. It took her three years to realize she can take screen shots of messages and pictures of bearded, tattooed men with her phone. Now that she’s mastered this task, her phone is slowly dying, and she’s nervous that she’s going to have to buy a new one and it will take her another three years to learn how to use it.
