Black Lies by Mercedes Mercier
4.0
Dr Laura Fleming is a Psychologist at Westmead Prison tasked with delving into the minds of some of the most dangerous and damaged criminals. I seriously love books told from the POV of a mental health professional. When written well, they almost feel like you are a fly on the wall during someone's private sessions, listening to all their dark and salacious secrets mwahahahaha. 😈
BLACK LIES picks up 2 years after WHITE NOISE, with one of Westmead's most high profile inmates, Tomas Kovak on his deathbed. After 15 years in Prison, Tomas still hasn't given up the location of the body of the young woman he 🔪. Laura must use what little time she has to convince Tomas to trust her so she can give his victim's family some peace. But something about Kovak's story isn't adding up, and as time runs thin, Laura resorts to desperate and unconventional methods to get to the truth. Leading to a shocking conclusion.
Mercedes' writing draws you in with flawed characters and the sprinkle of clues to follow and uncover the mystery. To really understand Laura, her family dynamic and the traumatic event in her past which ties both storylines together, you definitely need to read the books in order.
*Thank you to @harpercollinsaustralia for sending me a copy of BLACK LIES. I really enjoyed this Aussie crime thriller series and look forward to the next one.

Ok, I've read Ana's twisted series as well as King of Wrath and dare I say, Kai and Isabella have the most mature and normal. relationship of them all and I really enjoyed that.
Things I LOVED:
-Kai is a gentleman with a filthy mouth
-Isa has a secret that makes her even more respectable in my eyes.
-The level of support they have for each other will make you swoon.
-Forbidden romance trope without the ick
-The right amount of spice to keep it 🔥
-A Billionaire romance that isn't riddled with toxic traits.
-The cameos and throwbacks to Ana's previous books made it more exciting, waiting to find out who was going to pop their head in.
