A master of international intrigue, New York Times bestselling author Taylor Stevens introduces a pair of wild cards into the global spy game—a brother and sister who were raised to deceive—and trained to kill . . . They live in the shadows, Jack and Jill, feuding twins who can never stop running. From earliest memory they’ve been taught to hide, to hunt, to survive. Their prowess is outdone … survive. Their prowess is outdone only by Clare, who has always been mentor first and mother second. She trained them in the art of espionage, tested their skills in weaponry, surveillance, and sabotage, and sharpened their minds with nerve-wracking psychological games. As they grew older they came to question her motives, her methods—and her sanity . . .
Now twenty-six years old, the twins are trying to lead normal lives. But when Clare’s off-the-grid safehouse explodes and she goes missing, they’re forced to believe the unthinkable: Their mother’s paranoid delusions have been real all along. To find her, they’ll need to set aside their differences; to survive, they’ll have to draw on every skill she’s trained them to use. A twisted trail leads from the CIA, to the KGB, to an underground network of global assassins where hunters become the hunted. Everyone, it seems, wants them dead—and, for one of the twins, it’s a threat that’s frighteningly familiar and dangerously close to home . . .
Filled with explosive action, suspense, and powerful human drama, Liars’ Paradox is world-class intrigue at its finest.

The world’s most dangerous and dysfunctional family, only with knives, bombs, and guns — that, in a nutshell, is Liars’ Paradox. If you’re already a Taylor Stevens fan, this book will re-anoint you. If you haven’t read her yet, do yourself a favor, grab this book, crack the cover, and don’t make any plans for the next day or so.
I got 2 books for Christmas: Taylor Steven’s ‘Liar’s Paradox’ and John Grisham’s ‘The Reckoning’. I read Liar’s Paradox first. WOW. They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”. In the case of Liar’s Paradox, beauty (AND excitement AND suspense) was in the eye, ear, smell, touch, ALL the senses!
Taylor Stevens puts the reader right in the middle of things; I could smell the dirt, feel the sweat, hear the silence and see the shadows as I joined the twins. The plot kept me reading and like all Steven’s books, I finished it quickly and will be back to read it again (the ultimate sign of a good book, imo.) I’m excited to see where the twins take us next!
Honestly, after reading Liar’s Paradox, Grisham’s The Reckoning seemed rather flat and one-dimensional, which was sad because as a rule I love Grisham’s books.
If you enjoy fast paced thrillers with lots of action, dive into “Liar’s Paradox” by Taylor Stevens; you won’t be disappointed!
All of Taylor Stevens books are GREAT! This one was no exception.
I much preferred this author’s previous series.
Spies caught up in a twisted world of violence – an exciting read!
This kinetic masterpiece will rattle readers to the bone.
This is a high-octane espionage intrigue mystery thriller that you should definitely add to your TBR list if you’re a fan of writers like John le Carré, Frederick Forsyth, Tom Clancy, and Terrence McCauley. A definite 5-star read riddled with suspense, deceit, and intrigue that brings more thrills and chills per page than you could possibly expect.
Liars’ Paradox by Taylor Stevens is a book that defies a preview/summary because everything I might say includes a spoiler. Liars’ Paradox is a fast-paced, heart-pounding, marathon of a story leaving the reader breathless at the turn of every page. It makes the term, “thriller,” seem meaningless when used with other books. There is a chase, then another, then another. There are killings, surprises, mysteries, and so much more. Read it. You will not be able to put it down. It is miraculous, death defying, and heart breaking.
I recommend this book. You will love it. It is difficult to put down. It will make you cray and scream.
I received a free ARC of Liars’ Paradox in exchange for a fair and honest review.
