Oh, you wanted a book that was just a little spicy? A little twisted? A little “he might wear your panties as a face mask and call it foreplay”? Well, buckle up, buttercup—Rosie Sloane’s Liar is not here to flirt. It’s here to stalk, seduce, and completely derail your sense of moral compass.
🖤 The Vibe:
• Mood: Unhinged meets sensual—like falling in love inside a crime scene
• Genre: Dark romance / psychological thriller / obsession-core
• Pacing: Fast enough to keep your heart rate elevated, but with pauses for emotional gut punches and steamy chaos
💋 What’s It About?
A global popstar with trauma wrapped in glam meets a “bodyguard” who’s actually been stalking her for over a year—and they fall into a relationship built on lies, lust, and deep psychological landmines. Sound healthy? It’s not. That’s the point.
Crystal is beautiful, damaged, and compulsively sexual in a way that’s both empowering and heartbreaking. Stephen? Oh, he’s not just morally gray—he’s pitch black with a dash of “break into your apartment and jack off on your skin.” But in a weird, completely messed-up way… you want them to work. (No, YOU need therapy.)
🧨 Trigger Warnings:
• Stalking
• Non-consensual sexual contact (especially while unconscious)
• Hypersexuality as a trauma response
• Mental illness (OCD, PTSD, hypersexuality disorder)
• Gaslighting / manipulation
• Violence / blood
• Power imbalance (intense)
• Identity confusion and obsession
• Dubious consent (multiple times)
This book does not flirt with red flags. It builds a blanket fort out of them and has a full-blown meltdown underneath.
💣 The Characters:
• Crystal: A pop princess with hypersexual compulsions, a devastating past, and a bodyguard-shaped problem.
• Stephen: The liar in question. Obsessed, possessive, highly intelligent, and fully prepared to sabotage your entire security detail just to become your “protector.”
They’re both disasters. Sexy, spiraling, deeply damaged disasters. And watching them spiral into each other is like watching a beautifully choreographed trainwreck.
⭐️ Rating: 4.75 / 5
Because it’s disturbing, it’s hot, and somehow it makes you root for a dynamic that, on paper, should be locked up and heavily medicated.
Would I trust Stephen with my life? Absolutely not.
Would I let him pin me to a wall and whisper that I’m his problem now? Also yes.
🍷 Final Thoughts:
Liar is not for the faint of heart. It’s erotically charged madness with stunning writing, gutting vulnerability, and enough wrongness to make you question your own tastes. It’s the kind of book you hide behind a Kindle screen while clutching your pearls… and fanning yourself with them.
You don’t read this book.
You survive it.
