Book Review: "Nine Liars" By Maureen Johnson

 

Yet again those who receive ARC's will be fumbling over themselves to toss the five stars yet those w/o ARC's are offering up 2-3 stars.

Folks, I've read over 1,300 books in '21. I was top 20 reviewer before leaving to seek employment full time with a paid position. I had over 13 NetGalley approvals and was in such high demand that I was reading books anywhere and everywhere free of charge while in extreme poverty, bankrupt, homeless, and LT unemployed. Authors and publishers would email me, send me ARC's digitally, and plop me aboard their google spreadsheets for blog tours daily. I had on average 9-10 blog tours every week. The fact of the matter continues to be honesty, transparency, and trust. I base ratings on the writing, the books performance, the way it makes me feel as a reader/reviewer/freelance writer.

I've since acquired a paid position after my dad passed 16 days ago, while I was held up in ER with pneumonia, sent home and learned my nasal swab tested positive for Covid.

So, let me explain this book in a nutshell. It's about this group of 9 that ends up going on this study abroad deal.

David and Stevie had this thing for one another. But eventually it seemed that several individuals where doing there thing, drinking, smoking, and having fun in London.

I really didn't take many notes because there's not much to write. It's one of those stories where everyone is lying to save their own arse.

Peter in the end seems to be the biggest liar of them all and so I'll leave it there!
What I can say is that ending with David left me pondering...

But, for those who enjoy a YA from time to time and have read the 4 in this series of Truly Devious than the 5th is probably a must for you.

To sum it all up: Less fluff more action!

Off we go to the next adventure. Ty to our local free libraries that provided this hardcover.
