I'm so conflicted with this one. I absolutely loved "The Opportunist", but Dirty Red just didn't stir the same emotions for me.

First of all, my dislike for Leah has not wavered. I thought it might since this was her POV, but no. If anything it intensified it. I HATED Leah and how she used her child like a pawn. It drove me insane and it was at times hard for me to read.

It was helpful to learn about Leah's past and gain some insight into some of the things that contributed to her crazi

Leah, Leah, Leah...you evil, caniving b*+#h!!! Being inside your head was intriguing while also being a thorough mind-f*#k, and I still want to shove your fingers down the garbage disposal similar to how you disposed of the frozen vegetables.

I read each page sooo slowly as I didn't want miss a lick of what was going on and while also having to force my eyeballs to not slide to the bottom of each page to find out what was said next.

Tarryn you're a freaking genius and how you word your stories ge

Jealousy has a hell of a strong hand. I squirm underneath its touch, uncomfortable for letting it in.'

"My name is Leah, and I will do anything to keep my husband."

First off, this novel, being the second in the series 'Love me with Lies' was a book I really really really wanted to hate, I actually did hate it...for several chapters. I dreamt I would give it 2 stars just because I passionately hated Leah! She deserved to die a slow and painful death.. I imagined myself in a fist fight with her

DAMN.......Dirty Red is an evil, evil chick!!! I dove in and devoured this novel! After how much I loved the Opportunist I was wondering how much better the story could get, but boy was I ever wrong! Tarryn Fisher does not disappoint!!! There was angst, hatred, and so many twists and turns I could barely keep them straight! I hated Leah, then maybe felt a little sorry for her, then was utterly disgusted with her! And the ending....oh goodness, Tarryn does it again and leaves us salivating for mo ...more

I love...love Tarryn Fisher and her writing style! This was so fun to read. I love seeing inside of Leah's head, although it just reiterated my hatred for her. There were things about her and her life that broke my heart. She is so insecure and desperate, and its so sad to see anyone who is that way...but, she is NOT a good person. Right up to the end, she is evil and ugh...I just love to hate her! I am so looking forward to the next book in this series, because no matter what, I LOVE Caleb and ...more

Wow.. this book was GREAT! Ok so it'll piss you off and make you question why you want to read about such a horrible person. But boy, it makes you feel just as sad and a little heart broken for Leah. does she really deserve what she got... maybe but, maybe not. I'm torn. I've never wanted the next book to come out as bad as I do this one! ...more

I just finished with the book and I am trying to write a review but I am so mad! I have no answers to anything and it left me just as mad as The Opportunist did. I can't wraith for The Thief. It needed to come out like yesterday! ...more
