jessicamap 's review for:

Lies, Lies, Lies by Adele Parks
3.0

Thanks to the publisher for the free copy in exchange for my honest review and blog tour spot

I read and really liked Adele Parks’ previous release I INVITED HER IN, so I was curious to see what she would come up with for us next. This is a difficult one because I do like her writing style and how addictive those short chapters are, but something just didn’t click for me.

The thriller and suspense genre seems to be saturated lately with books that feel repetitive and predictable. Or that could just be me because I mainly read this genre. Normally, it doesn’t really bother me when things get predictable because the twists are usually what set the book apart from the others.

This book had twists aplenty and at the end it felt almost like it was too many. I know that this is an unpopular opinion for this book, and there are so many glowing reviews. So I think this is more of a case of a me as a reader thing and not the book. If you want a really compulsive and quick read, then this is one you need to add to your TBR.
