Liar City pulls you into a gritty, empath-haunted Seattle where Reece, a deeply compassionate empath, and Evan Grayson, the ruthless agent known as the Dead Man, must team up to catch a killer—and maybe each other. Therin weaves mystery, moral tension, and forbidden attraction together so smoothly that the threat feels as emotional as it is physical. The slow-burn romance simmers with perfect frustration, vulnerability and relearning how to trust, even when they’re on opposite sides of a brutal empathic division. It’s an electric, emotionally rich opener that promises danger, growth, and real stakes.
