Our Wicked Lies is one of the best domestic thrillers I have read to date. It grips you from the first page and does not let you go. It is one of the first books in a long time that when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it. Just when you think the big twist has been revealed, even more happens to keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. This novel is very well written! While there were many twists, the story still flowed nicely and nothing was forced or just thrown in for shock factor. Definitely recommend reading this if you love a great domestic thriller!

This was one “wicked” read! I wish I had found Glede Browne Kabongo sooner! I loved the mental roller coaster this book took me on as I read and could not put this down! I was instantly sucked into this perfect idyllic life of wealth and the lushness that comes with it. Everyone wonders how it must be to never worry right? Well nothing is ever as it seems and this book really examines that exact point perfectly. It takes one family and spins their lives completely three-sixty. I was constantly second guessing my conclusions and was still wrong throughout, which really is the best when it comes to reading a thriller novel. This was one of those books I couldn’t wait to finish because I had to know how it ended, but I was also devastated because I wanted to keep reading. Like a ride that you didn’t want to get off of. I will definitely be checking out Glede Browne Kabongo’s other works as soon as possible and will probably be re-reading this one soon! I am sure I missed some goodies along the way with all the twists and turns!

Our Wicked Lies by Gledè Browne Kabongoa suspenseful story that had me flipping the pages to discover how it all played out. I would class it as a bit of a psychological thriller- there’s also plenty of emotion, secrets, mystery, deception, intrigue, lies, betrayal, discovery, and tension. Although the story was a little slow in the beginning, it didn’t take too long before it had me devouring the pages and following along intently as everything unfolded.
Our Wicked Lies: A gripping psychological thriller by Glede Browne Kabongo this book is full of suspense and has a few twists and turns thrown in. I thought the story was well thought out and written in a way that kept your interest right from page one. I did at times find the characters just a little hard to relate to. I really wanted Alicia to have a little bit more backbone about her although for the most part she was likeable. Her husband I found very hard to connect with. Instead I found there was an instant dislike for him, which could well be exactly what the author intended. This is an overall enjoyable book and one I thoroughly enjoyed.
A brilliant piece of writing. The story draws you in from the start and immerses the reader in a world where everything is not what it appears. So many twists and turns had me drawing conclusions that ended up shattered in the next chapter. The author is a natural with imagery (plenty of ‘show, don’t tell’) and the characterisation was on point. A powerful storyline full of secrets, deceit and betrayal, had me turning the pages late into the night. I highly recommend this book.
Alicia Gray knows she’s a lucky woman. However, she’ll soon discover that an enviable marriage comes at a deadly cost. Alicia struggles under the weight of dark secrets from her own past, someone knows more than they’re saying. This novel was a wonderful read. I couldn’t put it down.
“Our Wicked Lies” by Glede Browne Kabongo is a gripping and suspenseful domestic thriller. Fans of Gillian Flynn, Ruth Ware and B.A Paris will find a kindred spirit in Kabongo!
Alicia Gray has the perfect family; her lawyer husband, Elliot, is devoted to her and their two teenage daughters. After a twentieth anniversary trip to Paris, Alicia feels that her relationship with Elliot couldn’t be any better, but as she soon finds out, having everything you ever wanted comes with a steep price. When Alicia discovers that her husband has been having a long-standing affair with a woman named Faith, her entire life is turned upside down. Just as shocking is when Alicia discovers the true identity of Faith, sending everything she knew into chaos, and when a tragic death occurs in their elite neighbourhood, more secrets are revealed that has everyone, Alicia included, questioning what they thought they knew.
The story is well-written and the characters are well-developed¬. I rooted for Alicia from page one (and cursed Elliot throughout the entire novel). Right from the beginning I felt an immediate connection to the characters, and I wanted to see justice served.
The novel is told mostly from Alicia’s perspective, although we do get a bit of Elliot and Faith’s story throughout. The short chapters kept me engaged, and I found myself breezing through this page-turning novel!
Each and every character was seemingly just as guilty as any other, which made guessing the ending all the more enjoyable! The ending itself was unexpected, although it definitely wasn’t uncommon in novels of this genre. I thoroughly enjoyed how Browne Kabongo kept the tension throughout the entire plot, not letting up until the very last page.
Browne Kabongo is a new author for me, but she has many novels (and awards) under her belt. After reading “Our Wicked Lies”, I can absolutely see why! This genre is one of my favourites, and to see it done so well and in such an engaging and entertaining way, Browne Kabongo will definitely be on my radar from now on!

They made the story feel realistic and gave life to the story. This is an engaging, fast paced story that I had a hard time putting down. This is a well written story that the author’s attention to details made the twists and turns exciting and the feeling of wanting to know what will happen next.

Glede Browne Kabongo probably turned into my favorite thriller author! This book took you to a level and then some. I was gibbing my chair and didn’t want to stop reading!
We have Abby who is the model student and human being. Top grades and on her track to Harvard until something in her past comes up. It was something she buried but no deep enough. Someone is calling her out on the events of her past but she has no idea who it is.
I loved reading this book. It kept me on the edge of my seat and it had me guessing who this person could be. I have fallen in love with this book and the author’s writing. The author became a one-click for me!

This book is not in my normal age group range for characters (high school). I just feel i don’t relate or they’re acting older than they should but this had a nice balance so it held me to the story. Abbie is destined to go far but someone is trying to blackmail her for the one wrong thing she ever did. I kind of figured it out early on but wasn’t 100% sure until closer to the end. Will read more from this author as it seems with the sneak peak at the end the story continues on for Abbie in college and another mystery.

I give Game of Fear – A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist (Fearless Series) by Glede Brown Kabongo, 4 stars.
This is a psychological thriller book for the young adult crowd. The main character is a senior at a very elite high school and it is centered around her and her friends. This book is well written and the story has you on edge the entire time. Someone is out to make her life hell and they seem to stop at nothing. What I liked most about this book was that you do not see many books in this genre for this age group. That in itself was refreshing. Not to pull away from the book, I was never a rich college kid who had to think of her family being disgraced if she did something wrong, so I couldn’t completely relate to this fear and this side of the book. However, I can understand and have read about the hidden secret you never want exposed. The author makes this very clear.
The cast of characters is good too — pretty much what you would expect from an elite high school for rich teens. There is a mixture of people too, not just all one type of person. I also like how the author integrated many different races, making the book have a different feel to it.
If you like YA Thriller that keep you guessing until the end, this book is for you.

This book is an amazing book full of twists and turns to keep you guessing and a ending that I never saw coming.
Abbie is a grade A student who has big plans which seem on track until the mysterious Avenger appears and threatens to reveal her secret which will ruin her life.
The only way to stop that happening is to play the game and follow the rules. But is the Avenger really real or not, only time will tell.

Game of Fear: The fearless series by Glede Browne Kabongo is a 5 star read. Abbie Cooper is a high school senior, she has big plans for her future until a note in her textbook from someone calling themselves “The Avenger” saying they know what she did brings back painful memories of 3 years previous when her mother was in jail waiting to be tried for murder and Abbie did something stupid that she fears is now coming back to haunt her. Abbie thinks she knows who the blackmailer is but finding the evidence is hard. I must admit I figured out pretty quickly who the blackmailer was but it in no way took any enjoyment I got from reading this book. This is the first in a series about Abbie at different points in her life, this author has created an amazing story with characters who keep you hooked. I would highly recommend this book.

Game of Fear by Glede Browne Kabongo is an interesting Young Adult book. Not murder and mayhem but blackmail and manipulation. A book about mistakes and how they come back to haunt us and a book about facing our prejudice and overcoming it. It’s a good clean story that is well suited to teenagers and older adults who like a good mystery to unravel. A really good, laid back read.

Game of Fear is the first intriguing instalment in the Fearless series by Gledè Browne Kabongo. I came into this series a little backwards, starting off on book three. It had me hooked right from the beginning, and so I wanted to go back to the beginning to discover more of the backstory, and see what had transpired in the first two books. I am really pleased that I did, because this book was not only a really great suspenseful read- it also gave me a bit of a bigger picture for the following books. But, having said that- the book/s can be read as a standalone, but be prepared to be intrigued enough to want to read the other books as well. This story was everything I expected it to be, gripping and suspenseful. Full of secrets, blackmail, deception, cyber spying, stalking, discovery, mystery, and psychological games. And as I had hoped, it pulled me in right from the start and had me devouring the story just to find out how everything unfolds. Definitely a series I want more of!

Game of Fear was a good 4 star read and book one in the Fearless series.
Abbie has been working hard at school and has set her sights on going to an exclusive Ivy League school after she graduates. Abbie happens to come across a letter that was left in her locker, she’s confused as to why it was left for her.
Things take a twist when she gets a photo, now she knows this is more serious than she originally thought. She is at risk of losing all that she has worked so hard for. Can Abbie figure out who is black mailing her before it’s too late?
Overall I enjoyed this read. It has mystery, suspense, love and so much more. I enjoy a book where I have to try and figure out who is behind everything and this one didn’t disappoint. Once I started, I couldn’t get it done fast enough, I had to see how things came together in the end. You get pulled in with the authors writing and you feel like your right there with Abbie. Can’t wait to start the next book in the series. 1-click an get started today.

Abbie knows what she wants out of her life and she knows that she has to work hard to accomplish those goals. For her, dating is a distraction, one she doesn’t want to toy with. She’s kept herself on the straight and narrow for so long. But even she is susceptible to mistakes. Someone out there knows of her mistake and is determined to make that moment be known to all. If this comes out, it ruins her dreams. Her family has already had to deal with her mother being framed for a murder and her father’s battle with cancer. To share the burden with them would cause more unnecessary hurt she feels. So she thinks she has no choice but to play the dangerous game the “avenger” wants to play.
Within all of the gameplay, Abbie lets down her guard, agreeing to date she finds out what it’s like to have the best of both worlds. She becomes closer to her friends, even opening up about what’s going on. Through them, she’s able to sort through the clues to reveal more and more dangerous levels the cruel avenger is willing to go to. In the end, who does it really end up being, a friend or a stranger?
I had read the 3rd book in the series by accident first and was determined to go back to the beginning. I’m so glad I did! I loved this book so much. It gives me so much insight into where Abbie ends up later in the series. Even though I thought the avenger was one person, the little bit of doubt was constantly there, messing with me. I felt like the answers were there, just out of reach! Through the whole book, I was sucked in and was ready to throw away my work for the day in order to just read more. I’ve already started book three and I plan on re-reading book 3! This was a fun thriller to read, and one that I’d love to go back to. It’s very well written and just fascinating!
