Liars Anonymous by Marissa Finch

Who ever heard of a support group for compulsive and pathological liars? Well, this is how the characters in this novel all know each other.

2022 Highlights! (Fiction)

The picture is a collage of 8 book covers of books considered to be the best ones on the blog in 2022.

Here follows the links to my spoiler-free reviews of the best fiction books I read for the blog in 2022:

Never Lie by Frieda McFadden

To be fair, I’ve never heard of such a sinister house viewing! Frieda McFadden has done it again – her latest book is compelling tale with twist after shocking twist!

The Intruder by Daniel Hurst

I wish I had been a beta tester for this book rather than a reviewer. That way, I would have been able to provide constructive feedback. The rest of this review contains spoilers to explain why…

The best way to review this book is to compare and contrast it to the modern classic Fifty Shades Of Grey. From a brief scan of the synopsis, you could be forgiven that these two books could be very much like, but trust me, they are not!

The Risk Paradox by Alan Ying and Doug Schneider

I jumped at the chance to read this book! I’m intrigued by what makes people tick. And at the same time I’m also fascinated by what attributes make for a life that’s truly memorable in society.

And when it comes to becoming a truly successful entrepreneur, (which is just one means of becoming memorable) risk taking seems to be an overarching factor. Hence the title’s appeal to me.

The Perfect Son by Frieda McFaddon

After reading The Housemaid and The Inmate, Frieda McFaddon quickly became my favourite author, and swept up in the hype I wanted more. And with this book I was impressed very early on…

The Exiles by Ashley Saunders and Leslie Saunders

When I saw this book was up for grabs for just 99p on Kindle, I jumped at the chance to read it! I have read two other books by these authors a few years ago and was really impressed. When there are cliff hangers at the end of every chapter, you just have to keep reading!

Raven’s Song By Charlie Nottingham

I don’t normally do book reviews on sequels in a trilogy because I like to keep my book review blog quite varied, but for this steamy paranormal romance, I was more than happy to make an exception!

If you want to see my review of the first book in this series, please click on this link.

The characters may be vampires, witches and fae, but in terms of personalities and emotions, they couldn’t be more human. And I just love them, from the feisty female protagonist, Rain, to all 3 of her lovers. There’s her best friend and Fae companion, Graham, who always puts Rain first, the vampire and doctor Ezra who couldn’t be more of a gentleman and sweetheart, and Warren, who is both vampire and necromancer, and loves to flirt (amongst other things!).

This book has plenty of humorous and witty moments that are sure to make you smile time and again.

This is a book that features poly-amory, and there are quite the variety of sex scenes, including M/F, and M/M.

As for the plot, I really didn’t know what to expect after the first book in the series, but suffice to say I already knew the characters were in danger. I don’t want to give too much away about the plot, but what I will say is that there are some overarching themes, namely poly-amory, boundaries, and necromancy.

If you don’t want to hear what I have to say about these sex scenes, please stop reading now.
