Little Liar by Leigh Rivers
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 stars)
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (4 spice)

It’s like I should look away… but I just can’t.
That’s this series in a nutshell. You know you shouldn’t be reading it, like you know you shouldn’t touch the poisoned fruit—but you still do. Sigh. 😮‍💨

Okay… okay. There was a plot! I totally missed it in the first book, but I did see one here—buried somewhere under all the dark, questionable spice. 😅

Honestly? I feel like I may have tainted my soul reading this. Between this book and the first one, I probably need actual help for my questionable choices. And yet… here I am, giving it 4 stars again. 🙃 What was I thinking?

This book is dark, twisted, and the red flags aren’t just waving—they're playing ring around the rosie while I read. The writing itself is okay, but it’s the content that gets you. And that’s the part I can’t explain—because I shouldn’t like this series at all. But I do.
Trying to put into words why is the hard part.
Maybe it’s the chaos. Maybe I’m unwell.
Either way, I need medical help. 😆

Now, one thing that did tick me off a bit was that the first half of the book was basically a recap—from Malachi’s POV. I wanted more of the now, not the before, even if it was from a new perspective. It was new content, but still a recap.

The spice in this book was maybe tamer than the first in terms of what they were doing… but don’t let that fool you—there’s still SO. MUCH. SPICE. 🌶️🔥
I honestly need my eyes washed out, a freezing cold shower, and maybe even a full-blown exorcism. Like… reading this felt like walking through a haunted house that touches you. Once you read this book, you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. It’s in your head, rent-free. 😳

Why did I like it?
Maybe because it’s so dark and so wrong, it becomes a weird kind of fun. There’s a list of things I should question… and maybe even hate… but I’m choosing to enjoy the shock factor before it all sinks in and I realize just how unhinged it all was. 😂

Would I recommend this book?
Maybe—to the girlies I know love their books DARK.

Would I reread it?
Honestly? Yeah. I might. Maybe I’ll feel different the second time.

How would I sum it up?
Dark. Twisted. Wrong. And yet… I liked it.
I don’t know why. Please don’t ask me. 😵‍💫
