The characters are interesting, and not a single one falls flat or bland on the page. I was captivated by each POV change and how Allie utilized this tool to allow the mystery of the story to unfold.
Liar City is very well written, as most of Allie's stuff usually is.

this is an urban fantasy mystery/suspense with a slow burn romantic subplot but retains all the things i love about therin’s category romances, including: amazing cast of diverse characters; spunky, vulnerable and always growing protagonists; fluid blend of the fantastical with reality and amazing world building; intriguing layered mysteries; and sweet, high chemistry romances and just as strong and prevalent platonic and familial relationships.
i love reece. would die for him. sassy and sarcastic with a mouth that gets him in trouble, and, as one character says, snack-sized.
and if you love banter, there is /plenty/ of that between reece and grayson. between reece’s uncontrollable mouth and grayson’s dry drawls there are plenty of great interactions that leaven tense scenes and plot developments.
i need the next book, heck, the rest of the series and anything else allie therin’s got in her magic writer brain asap.
