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

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.
