The Lair by Lisina Coney

This is not the blueprint by any means but every family vlogger needs to read a book like this, be scared, and stop filming their children. Sacconejolys I'm looking directly into your eyes.
Anywho, I picked this up because I felt like it and instead of the 1800 books on my TBR, I decided to read the one book I learned existed 2 minutes prior to adding it to my kindle LMAO. I've read Lisina Coney before (which I did not realize until I was halfway through this one) and enjoyed her writing and I'm happy to report I enjoyed this one too.
Allie has run away from her home and family in hopes of protecting herself and leaving her past behind her. After growing up in an influencer family and having all her vulnerabilities aired out for all to see PLUS being kidnapped because of it all, she's done. Somehow this lands her in a small-ish town in Maine, working at a sports bar with her grumpy boss and she decides that this feels like the place to settle - for now, anyway. Her and Travis get along, despite him having a daily word count of 10 words, and she has yet to be fired for the mistakes she can't help but make. When the energies shift and her and Travis get to see a better side of one another, she's wondering if it's time to let people (him) know about who she really is, especially once her safety is threatened again. But how do you tell your boss and new friends that you've been lying about who you are since day one?
Allie deserved better from her childhood and I was so sad for her. Her parents can rot. When she talks about her classmates seeing her first period online? I was going to rage because I know there are influencers out there doing this shit too and kids are nothing if not meaner than they were when I was 10.... yeah, no way.
When her and Travis start upping their conversational abilities with one another I was JUMPING FOR JOY. I love a grumpy, gentle giant and that's exactly what this bear of a man is. I was so excited LMAO. Overall, the two of them were cute as hell and I enjoyed it a lot.
THE REAL STAR OF THE SHOW WAS CHARLIE? He was so kind and encouraging for Allie in the ways she needed it most. Him and Lola (Lisina, did you watch Charlie and Lola growing up or is this a coincidence) pulling Allie out of her shell enough to get her to admit she had friends was exactly the support I needed to see for her. I was so worried he was going to turn out to be a creep and he just absolutely was not that. Very golden retriever energy LMAO.
Loved this. Can't wait for the next one.
