Liars Island #3
Forbidden Falls
Seduce and Destroy
Blake Corbin is seventeen, bored, psychotic, and too pretty for his own good.
Not satisfied with high school girls, Blake devises a new project for himself. He’ll destroy his boss Apple Shannon, a cheerful thirty-something who owns The Kitchen where he works after school.
First, he’ll seduce her.
Then, he’ll blackmail her, claiming she molested a minor.
Finally, he’ll take everything from her: her business, her self-respect, and her reputation.
The best part is she’ll blame herself, so it’s not just brute force destruction. It’s eloquent and complex. There’s layers to the whole thing.

Very short, but a thrilling look into the protagonist's messed-up world view. I'd be interested in looking into further books in this series or other works by the author.

Blake is a rich high school psycho who is going to destroy his boss, Apple's life. He wants her restaurant and is going to use pornography to get it. Macy, the girl he uses for sex and is abusive toward helps him out by pumping Apple for info. A few things happen and all is not what it seems in this slick novella.

A very dark read
I did not know what to expect when I started reading but whoa! This book was dark and had a cool plot twist at the end. This author has a new fan!

Forbidden Falls by V.J. Chambers was one of those quick, easy reads that just slides down effortlessly 😮💨📖✨
Not a full-on thriller-thriller — like, I wasn’t scared or clutching my blanket or checking my locks — but it definitely had that “this should NOT be happening but omg tell me more” energy 😭💀 The guy?? Absolutely insane. Me?? Intrigued anyway. It happens.
It kept me hooked the whole time, but that ending?? Abrupt. Like “wait wait WAIT we’re stopping here??” 😭 I seriously feel like there’s more to the story, and if there ever is, I will devour it IMMEDIATELY.
Fast, messy, entertaining — exactly the vibe I was in the mood for.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 — fun, chaotic, and left me wanting more 🖤📚

Starting to lose interest
Only 3/5 for this one. Book one was good and had me wanting to learn about more people on Liars Island, but... the stories seem to be getting less interesting. I'm not totally giving up hope on this series because of the array of authors involved in writing their own separate book for the series. Fingers crossed that the next one I read is able to suck me back into this series that has so much potential...

Wow, I didn’t know I could hate a main character that much 😂 the author captures pure incel vibes from the first page.
Reading a pov from a character like this is always gonna be wildly uncomfortable. By the end I was feeling really tense and scared for Apple 😰
But this novella feels kind of incomplete? The ending was an interesting start of a twist but not enough to satisfy you - it read like a teaser for a full novel rather than a standalone story.

Blake Corbin is a smart teenage boy who is bored. He needs something to make him feel important. Then the idea comes to him! It is not nice what he did! But will he get away with it? A great suspenseful story! I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

Made it part way through the 2nd chapter & quit reading. The characters are disgusting - the book is like reading porn with teenagers. The first book I read in this series, Liars Lane was excellent. This isn't even worth wasting time to read 64 pages.

Conflicted feelings on main character!
Really enjoyed the storyline. Not sure how I feel about main character... Teen, ignored and abused, but entitled... Biggest issue is editing. Several instances of words missing. Takes you out of the flow to figure it out.

Blake is a bloody psychopath and I both hated and enjoyed being engrossed into his thoughts and narration.
Short and easy read. My only gripe is I wanted there to be more!
4.5/5 stars rounded up!
Check trigger warnings! Know your limits.

A high school guy’s plan to get revenge on his boss. The plan was to seduce, humiliate, and blackmail her. For a while, we read on about how he was failing at his task. The ending was a mild, ironic twist. Overall, a nice short read.

First from this author for me, really enjoyed the twist and devoured it in one, definitely an author I will look out for in the future.

Just finished book 3! This one should have some definite trigger warnings for those who may need it.
I love that these are easy reads and can be read in one setting. This one was SO TWISTED!

Lame!
Just another example of how far many authors will go to sell a book! This is a terrible read. Stumbling and crude! Don't purchase!

Just no. This book was crude and had ZERO twist. By the end I was just bored and ready for the book to be over.

OMG! So good!
This one was the best yet! Couldn't stop turning the pages. I know I'm going to enjoy all the Liars Island books! Can't wait to start the next one.
