As an author who herself is waiting for publish her first story ... I have developed a taste for reading new budding authors specially those who like to self publish their work...
After reading about like 50 series which would be roughly around 200 books later I decided to write a review of only one Author, whose style of writing is fresh, hard, strong, extremely well articulated and each phrase written in this will deliver you a new perspective to the character every time which will bring you face to face with the darkest almost shameful secrets of your own mind...
So here I present Author -Tarryn Fisher, came across her books via goodreads, trust me I was so not prepared for what happen next. Her first ever series "Love Me With Lies" is a love story trilogy except for its not a love story but so much more. The series will blend your own character with those of her protagonists. You will love and hate this book at the same time, it will twist your guts. make you want to throw it away and cherish the story at the same time.
Anyways by the end of Dirty Red I was a fan of Tarryn Fisher writing, the style is new and fresh, it keeps you engaging but also involves you so deep in the character, that you start finding the shade of the one you are reading in your real self.
I loved dirty red and then I started The Opportunist. The first thing that came to my mind after finishing the book was "This is not a Love story" yes the same line with which the "original Sin" started.
“Caleb had been my imperfection, with his slightly Americanized British accent, and the way he could play any sport and quote any philosopher. He was such a mix of class and jock, romance and jerk, it made me crazy.” -Olivia on Caleb
“For once, I understood the Caleb mania. He was like a jalapeno, bright and smooth, but dangerously hot. A small part of me wanted to bite him.” -Olivia on Caleb
“He was my crack. I could never get enough, and when I had him I was already thinking about when I could have him next.” – Olivia on Caleb
“Olivia, you can have any man you want. Why him ? Why is it always about Caleb ?” “Because…because I didn’t need anyone until I met him.”
“I take my first step and then my second, and right before the door closes, I look once more over my shoulder. Caleb is still under the tree, he winks at me, and I smile.” – Olivia
“Handsome, fictional men were so much easier to stomach than real life ones who smelled of Christmas and looked like a Calvin Klein model” -Olivia on Caleb
“And my personal favorite, your lips.” He smiled as a pink flush crept up my neck. “Full and sensual, puckered, and always turned down at the corners. They kind of make me want to kiss them until they smile.” – Caleb
“There hasn’t been a single hour in seven years that I haven’t thought of you.” – Caleb
“And then, all of a sudden I missed you again. I mean, I never stopped missing you, but this time it hit me hard. I couldn’t go to sleep for a single night without seeing you in my dreams. I compared everything Leah did to everything I remembered about you. It was like the old wound opened itself up again and I was bleeding out my feelings for you.” I close my eyes at his words. Words that I want to hear badly but that are making my heart ache so terribly I can barely breathe.” – Caleb
“Caleb was like a hurricane that swept through my life, stirring up things inside of me that I never knew existed. He is a longing I will never cure.” – Olivia
“A man is only as good as what he loves most, right?” – Caleb
“You will forever be loved first, nothing will change that.” -Caleb

THE
OPPORTUNIST
Can somebody like a Author for
writing a book in the POV of a Villain, Well I did... and I fell hard for
Tarryn Fisher with "Dirty Red"... Yes Silly me, that I didn't know
the book has prequel, to be very honest this is happening to me a lot last
couple of weeks, there's ridiculous amount of sequels lately.
Anyways by the end of Dirty Red I was a fan of Tarryn Fisher writing, the style is new and fresh, it keeps you engaging but also involves you so deep in the character, that you start finding the shade of the one you are reading in your real self.
I loved dirty red and then I started The Opportunist. The first thing that came to my mind after finishing the book was "This is not a Love story" yes the same line with which the "original Sin" started.
It is a story of passion, desire,
love, lies, betrayal, and obsession …… okay.. I am running out of dark words,
but the story will touch you, make you flinch and turn your guts around.
Olivia Kaspen the protagonist of the
book who is portrayed as the opportunist in the series, and yet you will realize
how she has missed all the life time opportunities of finding the true worth of
herself. She has childhood issues with which she has defined her entire life, which
affected everything decision of hers in the entire book. The love Story with Caleb
will choke you it is so pure and addictive and yet you would want to strangle
her on few stanza’s.
But she is strong, too strong for
her own good, focus, determined and yet lost and vulnerable. She will become
you and will take you to deep corners of your mind where you will find a shade
of her hidden within you, that will make you connect with her, hurt for her,
angry with and in the end all you would want for her is HEA.
It’s definitely worth a read. I am so glad I got
the "so not goody two shoes" characters as the main leads, that the
villain doesn't really feel like a villain anymore :)
