Devious Lies by Parker S. Huntington
4.0
Despite being an (mostly) unnecessary 700 pages long - this random book I got from Kindle Unlimited, was the surprising success of January.
The book started a little shaky and overwrought for me. The first couple of chapters in Emery POV made me think this would be something I would give up on quickly. She was a little too precious and OTT for me in the beginning - she flipped through rage, silence, rebelliousness and drawn to Nash (our hero) in the space of three chapters. I was confused till about the end of Chapter 4.
However, something happened after the whiplash went away. I got into the book and the relationship between Nash and Emery was quite fun. I liked the bite in their conversations and the relationship. It got a bit twee sometimes but I think that was because of the length.
In the end, despite not being able to explain it, this worked for me. I even found Emery’s habit of quoting obscure words charming. I must give credit to the writer for this. I am going to check more out by her. Find of January 2020 for me!
