A review by midlifehedgewitch
The Beautiful Liar by Marion Blackwood

4.0

At 75% of the way through, I was pretty sure this was going to be a three star review. After Book 2 which was AMAZING, most of this book fell flat. The plot jumped around a fair bit and wasn't as solid as The Wicked Betrayal (Book 2). I felt Kenna had a lot less to lose and wasn't as invested in the quest of this book as she was in the previous book.

I know a lot of people reading this series are reading it for the Kenna/Mordren steamy stuff and are giving it 5 stars for that reason. I'm not one of those people. That's not to say that I don't like the sizzle between them, it's more that I like the adventure and action in the series.

As I said at the beginning, I was going to give this three stars. However, something shocking and unexpected happens at the end of the book and that convinced me to give it an extra star.

And to start reading the next book in the series ASAP.

Thanks to Marion Blackwood for an ARC copy of this book.
