on the recent release of
The Liars!
The Liars by Joanne DeMaio
Series: The Seaside Saga #20
Women's Saga, 278 pages
Published March 4, 2024 by Joanne DeMaio
From New York Times bestselling author Joanne DeMaio comes The Liars, Book 20 of The Seaside Saga.
Behind every cottage door is a liar. Look past the tended lawns and screened windows open to the sea breeze and dusky porch lights shining on waning summer nights. And listen closely. Are those whispers of swaying marsh grasses? Or hushed secrets floating in the salt air?
Walking the sandy roads, it's hard to tell. There. There's the imposing Barlow cottage on the bluff. Elsa's shingled inn by the sea. The Fenwicks' last-standing cottage on the sand. Cliff's ramshackle beach trailer. Celia's tucked-away guest cottage. And Shane's little rented bungalow. In the New England beach town of Stony Point, some of these weathered cottages hold their secrets well. In others, the lies are beginning to show.
And The Seaside Saga continues.
My thoughts about The Liars ~~
(I love to note the first lines of the books I'm reading. First lines can really grab a reader's attention and I love seeing where the author takes the reader after their first line.)
First line—"This can't be happening. Celia stands on the craggy step. Wayward blades of dune grass grow wild there. Another twenty steps down in the sea."
I love this series so much. As I sit down with each new book, I know I am going to be treated to another wonderful glimpse into the lives of the people of Stony Point. This story was just was delightful as all of the rest.
The title, The Liars, totally sums up this book to a T. Who knew this world was so full of lies, liars, and secrets? Most of the lies and secrets are for a good reason, but what happens when the lies, and liars, are found out?
This is the 20th book in the series and after twenty books, these characters have become like family to me. I can't wait to get immersed into their lives again.
I highly recommend this series, I've loved every single one of the stories and getting to know all of the characters of this amazing community. If you have not picked up these books yet, you really should. You will come to love this community and these people as much as I do.
I received a copy of The Liars from the author and this is my honest opinion.
The Mistake, book #21, is scheduled to be released on
May 13, 2024!
