Review: Liarholic - Kingsley Ash

Review: Liarholic - Kingsley Ash - April 2020

Wanting an angsty and dark read? It's been a while since I had read a dark book. As I had picked up this book, I didn't expect it to be as dark as it was. The book starts with us meeting Amy and Shepard when they were younger. Amy loved Shepard and saw the good in him, Shepard, on the other hand, was always told he was dark and evil. As they got to their teen years, Shepard did the worst thing possible to push Amy away. The incident was the first thing that broke her heart as she ended up being humiliated.  Six years later and Amy and Shepard are now in their 20's. Amy is living in an estate that is like rehab for addiction and mental health issues as she suffers from severe OCD and nightmares/ panic attacks. Life has been moving at a quiet pace for Amy and she is happy in her bubble, that is until Shepard ends up back in town. He is the new owner of the Estate that Amy has been living in. He is her worst nightmare yet he could be the one to save her from herself. For Shephard, Amy is the light he has pushed away as he doesn't want to infect her with his darkness. As the book goes along, Shep is back to find out the truth about his mother Violet Adams and in turn, try and find out who is father is whereas Amy is slowly opening up to Shep and the readers about the dark secrets that she holds in her Pandora's box. The book near the end got very exciting and dark at the same time where all the secrets came rolling out and wow - took a scary turn that readers don't expect.  Liarholic was one of those reads that once you finish, you have to take a breather as it is an intense rollercoaster of dark emotions. Liarholic is one of the darkest reads I have read for 2020 so far.
