5 Stars Out Of 5!
“What’s true about your past doesn’t have to be the truth of your future.”
“God didn’t make people things to be labeled by their mistakes. He made them souls to grow from them. Your mistakes were part of your growing process. They played a role in your becoming, but they aren’t what you’ve become. You’re more than a label. You’ve got to decide once and for all who you believe yourself to be. You have faith. Does that faith say your identity is defined by your past, or by the God who rescued you and who he says you are? Until you decide that, you won’t have peace.”
“And my take on this and on you has everything to do with the fact that you have a history as a liar and a drinker and a self-medicator who not six months ago was so hopped-up that you nearly shot someone in a courtroom—”
This is a review solely for the last book in this boxed set, Liar Like Her by DL Wood. I look forward to reading more of these stories by these terrific Christian authors.
First of all, I am a huge fan of author DL Wood. I discovered her on Goodreads back in 2015 and loved every book so far. Liar Like Her is no exception. It has all the elements of other DL Wood books: a great setting (a small beach town in Florida!), edge of your seat suspense with nice chapter ending cliffhangers throughout, Christian themes of not letting your past define your present/future, romance that is neither sappy or unrealistic, and protagonists that you immediately are drawn to with many layers.
Speaking of protagonists, Quinn Bello is an ex-lawyer who is disbarred after firing a gun in a courtroom after a mixture of medicine and alcohol. DL Wood handles the topic of depression seriously and realistically. We also have Ian Wolfe, who owns a local coffee shop, and has a secretive past. Throw in a vanishing dead body and skeptical law enforcement and you have quite the intriguing story! I spent the entirety of the book not knowing what was going to happen next. There was some foreshadowing on one of the aspects that later came into play, but other than that, a total mystery. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Christian suspense with just the right amount of romance thrown in. And with a boxed set at $0.99, this story alone makes it more than worth it alone. Order it today!
