Welcome to Litsy!

A really easy read!! She‘s now got a loyal reader

October to be read by

I stumbled on this book on my Kindle for$3.99. I‘ve read others that were inexpensive and could see why. This was a surprise. Paul, the MC and narrator is not above lying to make himself look better. Without stumbling into spoilers, he gets involved with a family that may just be his match

The narrator‘s a loathsome character. An awful man, a womaniser, and a frequent liar. White lies, exaggerated lies, unnecessary lies..just to paint a good picture of himself. Soon he is caught in his own web of lies. I was able to guess some of the things, but am impressed with the twist and neat plotting. And unexpectedly, felt a tinge of sympathy for the a*#h%le character at the end. A nice summer read but not gripping or suspenseful enough.

“A few lies never hurt anyone. Wrong—Paul has a plan..If it means hiding or exaggerating a few things, no harm done. But when he charms his way on to a family holiday... And finds himself trapped among tensions and emotions he doesn't understand...By the time he starts to realise that however painful the truth is, it's the lies that cause the real damage... Well, by then, it might just be too late..” #TBR #Mystery / #thriller #ReadingResolutions

Despite most of the characters being unlikeable I really enjoyed this book. The main character appears to be a pathological liar and I liked how the plot twisted and kept you reading. In the end I actually felt a little sorry for him. I‘m going to keep an eye out for more books by this author.

#currentlyreading Have no clue where this is going. I hope it's good! #domesticnoir #thriller

I have to admit feeling very let down and disappointed in this book until the end section. For some reason it did not really engage me and I can't say I ever really grew to like the main character. Having said that it does get very interesting and very psychological towards the end.

Got it on good authority that this one is good. In the mood to get lost in a book, so let's go! #suspense

LIE WITH ME is a part of the amnesia/psychological thriller genre that relies on unreliable characters or some sort of distorted memory necessary to confuse and disorient the reader. Apart from some pretty impressive character development, Sabine Durrant created a clever and morally complex novel that I read in just one night and that is, indeed, impossible to put down.

There's a review on the front cover which says the book grabs you and never lets go and it's not wrong! At just under 300 pages, it's not a long story, but so much happens. The main character is not particularly likeable, he's not a hero, but you do wonder what he's getting himself into and how on earth he'll get out of it and then, how other people can be so cold and heartless. A great read!

Starting on this at lunchtime, can't remember what made me pick it up and the inside cover blurb is intriguingly vague, but I bet that means it'll be good!

A sneaky and subtle riddle. Absolutely amazing the way Durrant play with feelings and impressions. The story starts slow but then halfway through it get faster and the situation, which initially seems clear and obvious, is completely turned around. The plot is perfectly planned, the characters amazingly developed. Highly recommended!

Unique plot, not one likeable character but all are intriguing. Some say it's a slow start, maybe, but worth it for the jaw dropping ending
