SHOMPA's Reviews > Devious Lies

The book had a promising premise; the beginning was good with an interesting backstory, but unfortunately, the execution fell short. The pacing was lackadaisical, with long stretches of introspection and internal monologues that felt repetitive and unnecessary. Particularly, the romantic tension between the main characters was forced and lacked chemistry, making it difficult to understand or feel for their relationship. Overall, "Devious Lies" failed to deliver on its potential and left me feeling underwhelmed.
