Don't Lie to Me - Paranormal Consultant 8
Während Sherlock Holmes die Ganoven Englands auf Trab hält, lässt Kanokos übernatürliche Gabe die Verbrecherwelt Japans erzittern!
Die sechzehnjährige Kanoko hat eine besondere Sie kann die Lügen anderer augenblicklich enttarnen! Lügt jemand in ihrer Gegenwart, hört sie ein seltsames, widerhallendes Geräusch. Als überaus ehrliches Kind plauderte sie munter die dunkelsten Geheimnisse ihrer Nachbarn aus. Seitdem wird sie ausgegrenzt und gemieden, sodass sich Kanoko schließlich auf die Suche nach einer neuen Heimat macht.
Als sie zufällig auf einen cleveren, aber faulen Detektiv trifft, erkennt dieser sofort ihr Potenzial. Ehe sie sich's versieht, steht sie Soma als Beraterin zur Seite. Mit ihrer übernatürlichen Fähigkeit und Somas Scharfsinn lösen die beiden allerhand Kriminalfälle. Von Geistererscheinungen über Diebstähle bis hin zu Entführungen stellen sie sich jeder Herausforderung.
Vorhang auf für das unschlagbarste Ermittlerduo der 1920er-Jahre!

"All those lies that I've been hearing all along perhaps they were people's wishes."
I am not sure why, but I didn't love this volume as much as I have previous volumes. I even went back and skim-read some of volume seven and still super enjoyed it (and I know I have deeply enjoyed previous volumes, so not worried there!), so I'm a little stumped on why I didn't adore this one?
I LOVED seeing Kanako and Soma in different clothes than usual! I love seeing them do all the detective work and was having a blast up until Atsushi came on page. Now when I think about it, I really felt Kanako's rage because I was not happy with how Atsushi talked or treated Soma. Yeah, things might have been hard for him growing up, but I don't think he should treat Soma the way he does. Atsushi's wife is SO kind and deeply deeply gracious, and I think because Atsushi DOES see her as more than just "breeding" and good "pedigree" it was supposed to make my anger towards him not as strong, which may have worked because…
I liked the second half a lot more and didn't feel as upset! LOL!
I think the "last" mystery was an interesting one because it really hit Kanako concerning this new "client," who really wasn't a client originally but sort of became one. LOL! Kanako has continually said how she is content to stay Soma's assistant, but that "truth" is challenged by a question of what she would do if Soma gets married. Would she still be content? Would she still have a place?
And so the tides turn in regards to this story because I think the next volume will see some romance, which leaves me feeling a little bit of mixed feelings. It's weird to admit that because at the beginning I SO desperately wanted to see a romance unfold, but I became super happy and content just seeing these two be a detective duo as the story progressed. LOL! I don't know how I'll feel if something really DOES happen, but I can't say I'm against it either because I too want Kanako to forever stay by Soma's side.
This might not have been a favorite volume for me, but I do really want to see how this story unfolds because it has been absolutely lovely!

This series really is stronger when it narrows its focus.

Loved seeing Kanoko in western styled clothing!
Also, romance is finally on the table? So late in the series?! But it’s a mystery first not a romance, I know lol. But I am still a little disappointed.

Paranormal Consultant 8: 4.5 stars
i love this series. but now the thing i dreaded so much is about to maybe happen and like... why though? huh... let's see how it is done i guess. (sigh). i have faith in Soma... but the thing is i don't have faith in what ritsu miyako thinks the readers expect/want... on a much happer note though: i am so happy about the queer rep in this volume 🥰

The last chapter was surprisingly profound, hit me out of nowhere. The concept of the duality of lying and wishing is very insightful. Probably the best chapter so far. Also 40 chapters until romantic development is the slowburn we're all here for.

You're an incredible person
Another great volume!
Ranko deserves her own happiness
