About this deal

Amber is hiding something... But what can it be? Why is it that Amber just slots into Ben's life, why does she know so much? This book stays with you long after you read it, as you try to parcel out the fact from the fiction. And the fact that you will never know what Micah was telling the truth about and what she wasn't. So you leave with Micah having a power over you because she knows what really happened and you are only left guessing, and doubting, and trusting, and feeling confused and used. Like me, you probably know those nice and well intentioned people who seem to attract the bad and the worst and whose lives seem to transition from one disaster to another?. I do, bless them, but are some things avoidable with the right choices? – Yep sometimes they are. So, let me introduce you to our central female character Amelia.

I found this boring for the most part, and the twists in the last sections did not surprise me too much or make things better. The tension between Judi and Amber builds up very well. The character development of Judi and Amber is very typical of this genre. The pace is slow and as expected the last sections have twists. Since there are a limited set of characters, I could sense where the story would go early on. I finished Liar by K.L Slater last night & I must say I loved it , I could feel the tension start to buold early on & it didn't stop, the characters were well written yet flawed but again it made the premise that bit more interesting. Both Judis husband and son seem completely stupid as Ambers antics escalate and they see no wrong. The only two male adult characters in the book and they are very two dimensional, dislikeable and frankly stupid. At the end of the exchange, Micah also says "it occurs to me that is was not the white boy who was a puppy being abandoned in the woods...it was me" and I think at that point she realizes they may be one and the same person.Liar” is the third novel by British novelist K.L Slater. In “Liar”, single dad Ben is raising two children on his own, with the help of his doting mother Judi. When Ben starts dating Amber, Judi begins to doubt her son’s new lover. As Judi’s doubts and paranoia grow, she begins to delve into Amber’s past and slowly, hidden secrets begin to reveal themselves. Judi is now faced with a dilemma- will she risk it all to save her son and grandchildren? I felt anger toward Amber and deep hurt for Judi, intensifying as Amber continued embedding herself into their lives. I don't know if I've ever read a book that has evoked such a visceral response. I absolutely hated Amber! A true sociopath. I actually had difficulty reading it because of my pure loathing for her. My anxiety level was peaking as the book went on. And of course, I couldn't stop reading!

Shelley Conn as DI Vanessa Harmon, a detective with the fictional Thanet and Dover Police who investigates Laura's allegation of rape Just when I thought Kim's books couldn't get any better....she writes Liar and I'm simply blown away. Even though what really happened isn't the point, I can't help but speculate. This is what I believe really happened: Holloway, Daniel (30 September 2016). "Sundance TV, ITV Partner for 'Liar' Starring Joanne Froggatt, Ioan Gruffudd". Variety.Here's the deal: I'm not going to give you any clues. Micah does that, in Part One: Telling the Truth (except that she doesn't tell the truth, or not all of it). The clues build up, so that in Part Two: Telling the True Truth, her Big Secret isn't so unbelievable. It actually makes a lot of sense. The interesting thing is what role the reader takes in all this. I want to believe in her Big Secret. Not just because she succeeds in making it believable - somehow, lying about it to us after telling us she'll be truthful actually makes it more believable, not less - but because it makes the story a hell of a lot more interesting.

There were some things I didn't doubt or question in the story. Micah's love for Zach, for example. Or her feelings of loneliness. But I can't ignore what I do doubt: Is the Actual Real Truth the truth? Can I believe? I felt the foundation of the book crumbled for me towards the end, after everything was revealed, and it affected the way I felt about this story as a whole. Liar is told in three parts. Part one is where Micah is “Telling the Truth”. We are introduced to the seventeen year old girl who lives with her parents and younger brother in a very cramped apartment in one of the boroughs of Manhattan. Micah attends a progressive school where the students can call their teachers by their first names. Micah is very strange mainly because of her looks; “she has nappy hair that is cut close to her scalp and a chest that is flat with hips that are narrow”. She doesn’t wear makeup, wears baggy clothes and because of that, in the first few days of freshman year she is mistaken for a boy from her English teacher. Micah decides to go along with it and is accepted as boy until she is finally found out. Because of this gender mistake, Micah catches the eye of Zachary Rubin, “an olive-skinned white boy who looks pale and weedy”. Even though Micah doesn’t seem to have a high opinion of Zach, she can’t get him off her mind. Single father Ben is raising his two young sons with the help of his dedicated and supportive mother, Judi. Life is difficult but Judi is devoted to helping Ben and the children and they mean more to her than anything. Then one day he meets Amber. Everyone thinks they are perfect together - the only person who is wary of her is Judi, who thinks there's something off about her somehow. Could it be that Judi is just jealous as Amber is beautiful and she could see her as taking her sons attention away from her... Or is something more than that?The series premiered on ITV on 11 September 2017 at 9pm, in exactly the same slot that the Two Brothers Pictures series Rellik premiered on BBC One.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. I noticed Micah delighted in the kill 'in wolf form' too much and she felt strangely relieved when the homeless kid wouldn't suffer for his crimes (perhaps a mirror to the trial which didn't convict her but sentenced her to a mental institution). Instead the homeless boy would be cared for as he was left to live with his own kind who understand who he is. It is at this point, Micah is "abandoned" by her parents at the farm, leaving only "the Greats" (her grandparents, great aunts, etc), cousins and the homeless boy. Perhaps this is where she is left off at the mental institute as well, only receiving letters from her parents to which she refuses to respond. The homeless boy mentions how they "belong here" and Micah thinks about how her life is over and she'll never see the city or Tayshawn or Sarah, nor be able to go to college on a scholarship and study biology. She even mentions how _he_ "must be insane" when I think it's a revelation about a part of herself.Heredia, Sara (13 March 2020). " 'Mentiras' llega a Antena 3 después de que la serie original, 'Liar', haya arrasado". SensaCine. This story focuses on the unique relationship between mother-in-laws and daughter-in-laws and highlights the friction, discontent, competition, and rivalry that can exist between the two. This story explores the lengths a devoted grandparent might go to protect her family, a battle of hatred between a domineering mother and her son’s scheming new girlfriend. It explores the negative controlling effects of a mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship.
