Blood runs thicker than water—but revenge runs deeper than both.

Ella Perri thought she knew every dark corner of her family's history. But when her uncle Luca emerges from the shadows, consumed by a volcanic need for vengeance, she realizes just how wrong she was. Now she must use every skill at her disposal to stop a man who isn't just her flesh and blood—he's a master manipulator with nothing left to lose.

As Luca orchestrates a campaign of terror against those who wronged him, Ella finds herself in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the one person who taught her everything she knows about deception. When he kidnaps an innocent woman, the stakes skyrocket—every minute counts and a single misstep could mean the difference between life and death. Ella must unravel a web of family secrets and betrayal to figure out his next move before he takes another life.

But Luca isn't just plotting revenge—he's waging psychological warfare. With each calculated strike against his enemies, he draws closer to destroying everything Ella holds dear. As time runs out for his captive and the body count rises, one question haunts her: can she bring down the monster who shares her blood without becoming one herself?

Review

"I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

This story begins with the abduction of a woman in Italy. The next part then brings Ella into the picture where she has received a fellowship at a hospital in Italy and is now engaged to Nico. Ella is fixated on bringing her Uncle Luca to justice and as a result of this she puts her fellowship and engagement in jeopardy. It seems to be the most important thing on her mind and her actions seem aimed at one item.

Follow along as she is accused of something which has her suspended from her fellowship. This suspension provided her with an opportunity to look more into Luca's case. See how she and Angelina proceeded to discover evidence and as a result the danger they now faced.

The description of how Ella handled her search was well. The ending is unexpected. The story is well worth reading." Amazon

"Last book of the series, so worth the wait! There should be more!" Amazon

"In this final book of the series, Ella is hot on the trail of her Uncle Luca, as he kidnaps and holds two young women hostage. Her pursuit seems obsessive at times as she tries to protect her family and almost loses the love of her life, Nico, in the process. The story kept me on the edge of my seat and turning the pages to see if Ella would be successful in bringing Luca to justice or be destroyed in the process." Amazon

"I enjoyed this twisty story with plenty of family secrets. There was not a chance of predicting what was going to happen next, which made it fun. The characters were interesting and realistic. It was a very satisfying end to the series. I would recommend reading the whole series from start to finish. I had the privilege of reading an ARC, which I appreciate, and this is my honest opinion." Amazon

"In The Moment of Truth, Kristy Baccaro skillfully crafts a suspenseful narrative brimming with dark family secrets. As the characters dig deeper into their past, tension mounts, culminating in a series of shocking revelations that kept me on the edge of my seat." Amazon

    4.0 out of 5 stars Revenge and deception!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2025
    Moment of Truth by Krissy Baccaro is the fourth book in the Ella Perri Mysteries series. This can be read as a standalone novel but if you liked this story give the others in the series a shot. Blood runs thicker than water - but revenge runs deeper than both. Ella has to face off against her Uncle Luca, her own blood but also a man hell bent on revenge and manipulation. This book was filled with twists, turns, and a ton of family secrets. I really liked the way the characters were written, they felt very real and well fleshed out. If you are looking for a book centered on family secrets, revenge and deception definitely give this a try.
    Thank you to NetGalley, Krissy Baccaro, and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-Op for this ARC. Released on December 16th 2024.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024
    Ella Perri’s pursuit of her murderous uncle is a ride you will enjoy right up until the end. No spoilers will be included here except that if you have followed Ella Perri in the previous three books you will already know that nothing will stop her when she goes after something.
