Navy Lies is a revenge thriller perfect for fans of They’ll Never Learn by Layne Fargo.
It features an anti-heroine, Navy, who although imperfect, shoes growth throughout the story.
I found myself genuinely invested in Navy and couldn’t put the book down because you learn more and more about her until the very end.
This book exceeded my expectations and held my interest throughout the entire story.
The book is quite dark and has quite a bit of triggers, so definitely check those before reading.
The author has three other thrillers out that I can’t wait to read if they’re anywhere as good as this one!
