A review by natalierogers
Brutal Lies by R.A. Smyth

2.0

I really like the idea but I feel like this is dragging out and we are just going in circles of the same thing over and over. They have the same conversations over and over and we jump ahead in time with nothing really happening. I also HATE every sentence that’s “I’ve the water” or something where you need to write out “I HAVE the water” otherwise you sound fucking stupid. Also there were so many more errors in this book it actually bugged me a bit. “Making us both groaning” seriously? Did nobody fucking proofread this shit? That was just the one I could remember. There’s also just so much immature language that it’s irritating at times. Also I love a good smutty scene but they felt poorly timed and too frequent to make it really enjoyable. Like there’s no real angst in the story. Plus I’m sick of all the secrets like the end of book 2 should have more revealed within the little group yet it still feels like they’re all practically strangers who just fuck each other.

Can’t even lie I skimmed probably half the book. I also started book 3 decided i didn't really want to read it anymore so i skimmed through the end of book 3 and it was interesting and the start of book 4 was good too but i just don't want to bore myself through the books to get to the end because that is what would happen.
