Reviews with content warning for Drug use - Nine Liars

That being said, this one might be my least favorite out of the series. The plot felt more contrived than the others (the reason they all end up in England lol), there’s some friendship drama that was frustrating because you could see it a mile away (teenagers, gah!), and THAT ENDING WAS CRUEL.

Anyways, still really enjoyed it, obviously. The mystery from the past was confusing at first because I couldn’t keep the nine characters straight, but once it got going, I really liked it. It had some nice twists and turns, and I did not figure anything out.

The present story…maybe I’m an old fuddy duddy but I felt like the teenagers were being more teenagery in this one than the past books. Or I could be misremembering the past books lol. Either way, that’s a me-problem because these books are YA and meant for teenagers and I won’t begrudge them that!!

I will, however, begrudge it that cruel cliffhanger ending. I’m not over it and I need the next book ASAP please and thank you.

I still loved this book, but it just wasn't the same as the others in the series.

I would not call this book a standalone. It does deal with its own mystery that is solved by the end of the book but there are many things left unfinished and it ends on a cliffhanger.

There are ten new characters that are well developed and all have unique personalities and intricate relationships. This book heavily focuses on David and Stevie's relationship which almost takes precedence over the mystery over the course of the story and I wish that there was more plot that involved Vi, Jennell, and Nate.

The plot felt very well planned and the atmosphere was wonderful. It truly felt like you were inside Stevie's head.

Would recommend if you have read the first three books of Truly Devious.
