Nine Liars by Maureen Johnson
4.0

I don't know that the magic of the other books fully carried over to this one for me. One of my favorite things about the Truly Devious books is the interactions and friendships between Stevie and Nate and Janelle (and sometimes Vi). I just felt like everyone was in their own little world in this one and I was missing the Stevie gang really in action. There was also a little too much relationship drama in this one. There's obviously been some in the previous books but this book had a huge focus on Stevie and David's relationship and there was just so much drama surrounding lack of communication and misunderstandings that it started to wear a bit on me.

I did still enjoy the mystery in this one and thought the "Nine Liars" were a fun cast of characters. While the end of this book had me screaming at a character, it does at least seem to confirm that there will be another Truly Devious book in the future! I can't wait!
