Love me with lies - Tarryn fisher

Hello guys, welcome back to my blog. So today, I’m going to talk about love me with lies series by Tarryn Fisher.

There are 3 books in this series
Book 1- The opportunist
Book 2 - Dirty red
Book 3 - Thief

So, I’ll start with book one.

The opportunist












I loved every single word, I loved the story line but at the same time, I was frustrated. This book taught me a lot of things specifically about love and I’d be sharing a few here.

The first is this, you can’t give something you do not have. You can’t practice what you do not know.
How do you expect to love someone when you do not know what love is, when you can’t explain what love is, when you are not sure if you love yourself.

Secondly, letting someone you love go does not mean you stopped loving them, goodbye sometimes might not be the end of love.
No matter how hard you try, love isn’t just something that goes away.
Sometimes leaving the one you love might be the best decision you’d ever make for yourself and for the other person.

Finally, LOVE ISN’T JUST A FEELING, IT’S ALSO A DECISION.

Let’s move to book two

Dirty red














Firstly, I want us to know that obsession is a deadly weapon.
Don’t try to keep a loved one by manipulating his/her emotions. It might work for a while, but in the end, it will come crashing down on you.

In the epilogue of this book, Tarryn Fisher talks about hate.

In Tarryn Fishers words;
Hate is a prodigious feeling. It’s hot and oppressive like fire. It starts by burning through your God-given reason until there is nothing left of it but a mound of ash. It moves on to your humanity next, hot tongue flickering across the few remaining threads of innocence until they melt into each other and morph into something ugly. Then, in the rubble of what you were, hate plants a seed of bitterness. The seed grows to a vine, and the vine chokes at what it touches.

Hate is a powerful emotion. Like I’ve always said, emotions are useful deceit and tactic to man. Your emotions can manipulate you and force you to do something you ordinarily would not do.

Finally, Book 3

Thief













Tarryn began this book by describing what love is and what love is not.

In her words

Love is patient, love is kind,
Love does not boast or brag,
There is no arrogance in love,
It’s never rude, crude or indecent, it’s not self absorbed,
Love isn’t easily upset,
Love doesn’t tally wrongs,
Love trusts, hopes and endures no matter what,
Love will never become obsolete.


One very important lesson I learned from this book is that there are consequences for every actions, whether it good or bad.

In conclusion, there are no set rules in life. Someone you love and cherish so much can cause you the worst kind of pain, that person break you over and over and sometimes, you might never heal from that pain.
Yes, life can be really cruel, but what matters is this, are you going to let the cruelness of life dictate how you’d live your life?
I’ll leave you to answer this question.


On a scale of 1 to 10, I’ll rate this series 9.

Yes, it’s that good, it’s a very good book and I totally recommend it.

Before I leave, what book would you like me to talk about, feel free to drop them in the comment section😊.

See you soon💕.

The Writer's Column ft Mayowa Isiaq

Mayowa is a writer, poet, and storyteller. She goes by the pen name The grey clover. Writing Journey Her writing journey started in secondary school when they all had to take literature classes. There were assignments where she had to write speeches, essays, poetry, etc. Her first time writing a proper poem was the year before her final year in secondary school for an annual poetry contest where students are selected to read poems. That year, her literature teacher told everyone in the class to write an original poem. It took her days to come up with something, but she eventually did. Surprisingly, she was one of the students chosen to read their poems in front of the entire school. Delusion It's dark. The starts are out.   It's perfect, or so it seems. Nothing can change it, or so I thought. Not long before I was wrong.   It's quiet, like a graveyard, pin-drop silence. Everything is still, no leaves fluttering. The winds wouldn't dare. No sound. The birds are mute.   I...

Hi guys, Welcome to my blog. My name is Janna Onyemaobi, i am a Nigerian and i am crazy about books. I can spend my whole day reading. I know what you might be thinking, and the answer is no, i am not antisocial, i'm just someone who enjoys getting lost in stories. I am a writer too 😊. So here's the question, what do i write about?
