Locked Up Liars

Saint View Prison, Book 1

By: Elle Thorpe

Narrated by: Stella Hunter, Jarman Day

Nothing prepares you for finding your sister’s lifeless body covered in blood.

But when the police arrest her ex, a man I know is innocent, I can’t sit by and do nothing.

Not when I’ve been secretly in love with him for years.

Heath may not want my help, but I won’t take no for an answer.

To catch a killer, I’m forced to take a job at Saint View Prison. Maximum security. The place they send the worst of the worst.

But it’s not just Heath who doesn’t want me there.

Rowe, the sinfully sexy head guard, has made it clear I don’t belong. I’d tell him where to go with my middle finger up if my skin didn’t prickle with awareness every time he touches me.

And then there’s Liam, hotshot lawyer and my old high school enemy. All that tension and chemistry is still there, burning between us like flames. I need his help, but I’ll be damned if I beg for it.

With every lie we uncover, every secret we expose, the danger mounts.

Until there’s only one thing we know for sure.

The killer is still out there.

And I’m his next target.

Locked Up Liars is an adult, #whychoose romance, meaning the main character has more than one love interest. This book contains enemies-to-lovers and romantic suspense/dark themes that may trigger some listeners. It is the first book in an ongoing trilogy.

suspence

this is my first read by this author. amazing storyline and characters. narration is amazing. this story pulls you in and keeps your attention. with the right amount of emotion and sexual tension. love the fact the characters are learning and growing as people through trying to find the truth. I am ready to read book 2. will be following thus authors amazing books.

loved the voice actors

felt like they really utilized the different voice actors really well. Definitely added to the theatrics to the novel.

Audio was amazing!

I have listened to so many books and this was the first time I have heard the male and female interact together in the chapters. It was just incredible and their voices are very pleasing to the ears. The animation was spot on. I absolutely love these two readers!!!

I hate cliff hangers! Good book...but

Elle, your books are great but I sincerely hate the fact that you break them up into these freaking cliff hangers so people will have to dole out more money to find out what happens next. tsk tsk.

Plot Driven

Solid 4.5 ⭐Compared to Saint View High this book has a lot better pace to me. I can see a more true connection between Mae, Liam and Heath but i'm not seeing it though Mae and Rowe yet. I also love the parts with Selena and Colt. The build up it really good and I super excited to jump into the second book. The riot was unexpected to me for it to be this early in the trilogy with having read some Elle Thorpe before I didn't see something like that happening so soon (side note: Colt better make it out alive)

Great start

One thing I love is a book where the men are devoted (once they join) I love that Liam is cool with it even though the others are officially in a relationship yet. He goes into this with his eyes wide open. Waiting to find out how the mystery behind the killer plays out. Good start, on to book two

Wow!!!

I can't believe I didn't listen to this after Devious Little Liars! It's soooo good! Don't pass this one up! Start with Devious Little Liars then this series. The other characters are in this series a little. Awesome narrators

Cliffhanger

This is one interesting story. It goes story for 70% of the book then goes spice to spice. Then back to story. I am thinking this is just not my kind of story.

these voices were perfection for this story & these characters

I went to this series after listening to the Saint View psychos. I loved that trilogy and felt like I wanted a little bit of background on certain characters.
It's not necessarily needed to read this before psychos (they're both standalone trilogies but have characters pop in. I never felt lost reading psychos first) but I think I would have very different feelings about characters if I had completed this story first. Granted there's still books 2 & 3 so we will see what happens.
I love the characters in this and have been rooting for things to happen (I don't think I'd feel this level of involvement if I only read this. The voices make the story.) It's definitely a slow burn and typically not my favorite; but the tension and chemistry were off the page hot so I was ok waiting because there was so much else going on. This was well done and not chaotic (writing style, story was definitely chaos lol) with subplots happening around main plot point.

I can't wait to jump in to book 2

Great story!

This is a great story. I like the characters and the different interactions they have. The story is interesting and kept my attention. The narrators do a great job telling the story! I look forward to reading the rest of this series.
