I've never read a story like this before and I really enjoyed it! Part horror, part thriller, all entertaining. I genuinely didn't see the ending coming! The side characters are just as interesting as the main characters, and you don't see that very often.

Great suspense and found myself second guessing every thought I had continuously.
Can't wait to read what the author brings out next.
Recommend reading.

This book was unexpected.
I loved the concept of this book from the beginning. Real world mixed with fantasy all tied up in a horror type setting.

Red valley lives by its own rules, the kings rules, and there are ‘things’ in red valley that aren’t human. Sadie our main character inherits her mothers job when she dies, she becomes the liar of red valley. The people of red valley come to the Liar for help. The liar writes lies in there ledger and they become true.
What Sadie finds out when her mother dies is that her mother told a big lie but she doesn’t know what since her mother’s ledger is missing.
Since her mother’s death she has been hunted down by the sherif and the king and all manor of other things and she needs to find out why.

This book really manages to merge magic into the real world seamlessly. As strange as some things were, like the laughing and crying boys,which sound terrifying, they work really well to paint a picture of how unusual red valley is. It’s something everyone has grown up with and accepts. Like how we are told you should never enter the river. It’s like the fairytales your parents told you so you’d behave, but in this book they are true.

This book touches briefly on issues of racism and abuse of police power which is something that is prevalent in life currently and as terrible as it is it was nice that it wasn’t passed over. I’m sure this will connect with a lot of readers.

I really did not expect the twist that came at the end of this book regarding her mother’s journal or the lie. It’s refreshing not to have been able to guess what was coming at the end.

A dark, twisted, novel with uncommon themes. Haunting characters that have you thinking about them love after you put this read down.

I really liked the concept from the beginning with the Liar idea and her abilities she inherited,. Sadie had suddenly to become the Liar and keep secrets of everyone making her the biggest target in town. Everyone wants to know those secrets. There was a lot of different villains, all completely different and were all compelling enough, I really loved the Laughing Boys especially, they could creep me out. honestly with those demons on their head. All magical character were very interesting there was no one left out.

Also this gay couple out of time! I need more of them, they seem to have an amazing story to tell

This was one of the most unique stories I've read in a long time. The Liar is a job role, an ancient and protected role that Sadie's mum has been working until she dies of cancer.
Sadie takes over and we're thrown into the world she knows nothing off and we travel along with her as she works out what to do and how to handle the responsibility.
I love the mixture of magical creatures and modern story telling and hope to read more from this author. Refreshing

Jesús, I loved so much this story. I'm in love with it, it's so amazingly good. I never read something like that.
The Red Valley has his King, and his Liar. A Liar must lie and keep secrets from everyone. Sadie's mom, is the Liar for now, but suddenly she dies because of cancer, and now the new Liar must to take her place. So Sadie without knowing anything about her mom's job, must to face all the obstacles and troubles since she became a new Liar. She, suddenly becomes the most searched and requested person in the town. All people want the books of lies, but Sadie needs to protect them and keeps them safe from the others. And this job will turn her life in hell.
There are so many twisted plots here, so many I didn't expected at all. The world is amazingly bilded, with all kind of 'magical' characters. People with demons on their head, brujos, shadow thongs. I've loved them all. It was so hard to put the book down. I always needed more and more, and I was a little upset when finished this book. I need more stories about the Liar.
Sadie, obviously, is the coolest character I ever meet in the book. She's brave, she's strong, she's smart and she's awesome.
Seriously, it was an amazing read. I've enjoyed it so much.I don't want to give this book 5 stars, I want to give it hundreds and hundreds of them.
Thank you Netgalley to give me a copy of this book and to Walter Goodwater for his amazing masterpiece.

If you're looking for a book that dives into generational obligations (and some might say curses), with a lot of spooky aspects and a bit of mystery, this is the book for you. The main character is quick witted and strong willed, a pleasure to read. There's significant plot twits and fit well with the story and pace. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and intend to recommend this to my peers.

Don’t trust the Liar.
Don’t go in the River.
Do not cross the King.

This was such an interesting book! I wasn't expecting this at all..... (In a good way)
I was also surprised by the writing it was so crisp and gripping.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! Looking forward to more from this author.
