Dangerous Lies was exactly
what I expected from a Becca Fitzpatrick book. It has an awesome cover, a great
synopsis, a fast-passed writing and a sexy romance.
Sadly, as I expected, it had a
very predictable twist, too. And it didn’t feel like a thriller at all.
I first read an ARC of this
book, but I waited until I had the final copy to re-read it and see if the
things I didn’t like in the ARC changed anyhow in the finish book… but they
didn’t. It makes me sad to say that this will be my last book by Becca that I
read. I haven’t been impressed with her books since I read Silence, and that’s
three books in which I feel like I wasted my money.
The only good thing about Dangerous
Lies is the character development, while Stella was annoying and bitchy most of
the book; in the end I came to like her.
Anyway, if you’re a fan of Becca
Fitzpatrick you should give this book a chance, just don’t expect too much.
