Filthy Lies by Serena Akeroyd
5.0
4 and 1/2 Stars
I've read a number of Serena Akeroyd books at this point, but since the beginning I've been waiting for Star and Conor's story. Since I was first introduced to her in I don't know what book I was just like ohh this chick is awesome, she's going to have a great story to tell in so many different ways. I mean a genius hacker that is also an assassin? I mean that's going to be an interesting story no matter what. And when I was introduced to Conor I was like this is going to be even better, because it was obvious how much Conor cared about her, like right away.
Prior to Filthy Lies my favorite books of Serena's was her duet Rex and Rachel, but now that might have to be my second favorite because I have thoroughly been blown out of the water by Conor and Star. And since I finished it I am dying to read book two in the duet, Filthy Truth. Cause I know it's going to be good.
Despite the fact that this is a dark romance I found it to be a lighter dark romance. There were definitely dark aspects and themes, childhood abu$e, SA and more, but when it came to the romance between Conor and Star it was very loving.
My one complaint about this book is that in many of Serena's books she will have sections of text message exchanges and other media posts like newspaper articles, and I just felt for this book there were too many. And for me it's because for whatever reason I don't have the patience to read something in that format. So for me I just felt it was too much.
