A review by makenna
Liars, Inc. by Paula Stokes
4.0
4.5/5
This is one of those books where at times it was definitely predictable and it was slightly ridiculous that Max was not putting the pieces together, but yet I found myself being sucked into the story. Usually I am not a fan of Mystery/Thriller book, but something about Paula's Mystery/Thrillers are exactly what I like. The one downfall for this book was that I didn't like any of the main characters from the very beginning, which made it hard to care for them; When Max was getting framed for his best friend Preston's murder I didn't care that Max was getting framed because he was being stupid at the time and really annoying me, but the interest in the mystery about what really happened (and if my prediction were right) were what kept me going. I will admit, by the end I did get a soft spot for Max and even Parvati), but I wouldn't say I grew to really like them. Overall, other than a few issues with the characters at the beginning of the book, I did REALLY love this book as a whole, and it has me all the more excited for Hidden Pieces.
