A review by rennegade
Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes
3.0
This book got off to a great start. I was hooked, and I read quickly to see what would happen next. Unfortunately, it gradually went downhill for me. I would not say that I disliked the book, but it went in a direction that I didn't love.
Spoilery thoughts here:
I didn't care for the big reveal. It was fairly interesting but highly unrealistic to me.
And while I know the book would have been nearly nonexistent without it, I am not at all a fan of the whole 'I'm just a teen who barely knows my ass from a hole in the ground, but let me drive around solving a mystery Scooby-Doo style and end up doing a much better job than the cops.'
I did really enjoy the style of the book, though, so I would definitely check other books by this author.

I really wish there had been more about the Liars, Inc. I knew there would be a mystery involved, but there was only a very brief amount of talk about the Liars, Inc. business before stuff gets crazy.I didn't care for the big reveal. It was fairly interesting but highly unrealistic to me.
