Currently Reading: Little Liar

2025/7/20 Edited to

... Read moreI'm still reeling from my latest read, "Little Liar" by Leigh Rivers, the second installment in her captivating Web of Silence Duet. As someone who absolutely devours dark romance, I can honestly say this book hit every single mark and then some. If you're looking for a novel that will sink its teeth into you and refuse to let go, then prepare to lose your mind over Malachi Vize, just like I did. What truly makes "Little Liar" stand out in the crowded dark romance genre is the sheer intensity of its characters and plot. Malachi Vize isn't your typical hero; he's possessive, dangerous, and utterly captivating. The quote, "I'm not a bad person. can be good. MINE," perfectly encapsulates his complex nature. You find yourself torn, almost rooting for him despite his morally ambiguous actions, because his determination to reclaim what he believes is his is just so powerful. This isn't a gentle love story; it's a relentless pursuit, a battle of wills, and a journey through shadows where love is forged in fire. The "dark taboo romance" label for this book is well-earned. Leigh Rivers masterfully weaves a narrative that explores the darker aspects of love, obsession, and control. The story isn't afraid to delve into uncomfortable territories, pushing boundaries and challenging conventional romance tropes. The atmosphere is thick with tension and danger, almost like a web spun by a spider, drawing you further into its intricate design. The imagery that comes to mind, perhaps like newspaper clippings with blood splatters or intense couples locked in a desperate embrace, perfectly reflects the high stakes and emotional turmoil within these pages. It’s a true chokehold of a book, gripping you from the first page until the very last, leaving you breathless. For those unfamiliar with The Web of Silence Duet, "Little Liar" seamlessly continues the story, building on previous events while still managing to feel fresh and urgent. You don't just read about the characters; you experience their turmoil, their passion, and their fight for survival. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, sparking off the pages with an electric force that makes their intense relationship feel incredibly real. If you're drawn to stories where the hero has a dark past, a dangerous edge, and an unwavering resolve to get his heroine back, no matter the cost, then "Little Liar" is an absolute must-read. Prepare for a thrilling, emotionally charged ride that will leave you thinking about Malachi Vize long after you've turned the final page.

I just finished haunting Adeline and now I’m reading hunting but I thought why not include both as I just finished haunting. I don’t like to annotate my books so I tried doing some Pinterest inspired artwork for what I feel haunting and hunting look like to me. So far I’m at page 225 in hunting Ade
