Madison is at the top of her game. She's a fresh new face in contemporary fiction. In “Scattered Lies II” Madison showcases her considerable talents. Her stories don't disappoint.
Madison’s Scattered Lies II picks up right where the first installment ended, yet loses no time in immersing us once again in a world of lies, lusts and games of wits. I have to admit, I knew I was going to give Scattered Lies II a five-star rating before I finished the first chapter because I was hooked by its fluidity from the start.
Madison captured my imagination with her way of presenting the traditional characters, violence and settings that makes Urban Lit exciting by injecting intelligence and realism. Madison exudes intelligence in her word choice. Her plot twists will undoubtedly keep any thinking reader’s attention. If this book was a person, I’d say Scattered Lies II possessed equal parts book sense and street knowledge.
Each chapter digs deeper into the lives of a splintered crime family as they make sense of twisted world of order and chaos. Madison is a deceptive author. The amount of time she put into researching and polishing this book would make the average reader think that this book was easy to pull off. It had to be anything but.
The diversity of lifestyles and social strata contained in this book is not standard fare. Madison makes the disparate cohesive. Where else can you get legal jargon, real estate concepts, high fashion, guns with the serial numbers scratched off, unique alcoholic beverages, methods of killing without getting caught, nasty sex, media training and high school angst? In the same book? Three words: Scattered Lies II.
The stress in this swires is something serious. I'm like really pissed on right about now that this mess is still going up. To many secret and scattered lies I need to know when it will all come together cause my pressure needs to be checked. Just know Tony is on top of my hit list, then is driver. Author Madison I need for Felix to grace me with his presence in book 3 please that will ease some of this tension I have lol. Thanks. Excellent series this far. This is a must read.
I read Scattered Lies by Madison Taylor This book was great. The story line kept my interest from beginning to the end I would highly recommend this book
