Liar, Dreamer, Thief is a very intriguing psychological thriller. With it's surreal aspects and mystery, it kept me engaged the entire time. Katrina's worlds were interesting places to be as she lived in the real world and her fantasy world. I wasn't sure if I would like this book at first because of the fantasy aspect, but it didn't end up being fantasy exactly. The mystery at the core was a great one and I had no idea what the outcome would be. Katrina as a character really grew on me as I got into the book. This is a stand-alone that wraps up, but is also open to another book in Katrina's world.

Im not sure what to rate this. I enjoyed the thriller and mystery of it, but I could really do without a lot of the mental health stuff. I normally love an unreliable narrator and discussions about mental health, so I’m not sure where the disconnect happened for me in this book. I skimmed through the parts about the other world, as that part REALLY dragged for me. I wasn’t invested in it, and I hate when books rely on weird cryptic dreams.

That being said when it came to the real world mystery i was hooked and needed to know what happened! My jaw dropped in various points. So I think there is a really great story in here, but it either feels watered down by the other world, or mental health wasn’t handled with care from the author. I’m not sure which, but I have no clue how to rate this one.

So much suspense! I would have given five stars, but the side trips into geometry and the Mi-Hee story kept pulling me out of Katrina's head, making me remember I was reading and not actually living it.
