BOOK REVIEW :

What begins as a school story set in the misty hills of Sikkim soon unravels into a psychological thriller that keeps you second-guessing every shadow. The Liar Among Us is one of those rare books that blend cozy fantasy vibes, old boarding schools, rain-drenched nights, mysterious lake houses; with the slow-burn tension of a psychological mystery.

At Valorhouse International, truth is a dangerous thing. A boy goes missing. A ghostly confession echoes through the school’s underground radio. And a freshman named Angad Sandhu; curious, ambitious, a little reckless; decides to dig into secrets best left buried. But Valorhouse has a way of swallowing its own history, and as Angad’s investigation deepens, the line between myth and madness begins to blur.

Bishhal Paull’s writing is cinematic; lush, eerie, and atmospheric. The prologue itself grips you by the throat: rain, panic, the taste of fear in the air. Each chapter peels back another layer of deception, each revelation more haunting than the last. The story thrives on its psychological depth; how fear distorts memory, how guilt corrodes truth, and how every lie leaves a shadow behind.

What I especially loved is how the author fuses cozy familiarity; dorm rooms, radio clubs, late-night whispers, with the unsettling unknown. It’s like Dead Poets Society met The Haunting of Hill House.

By the time you reach the final pages, The Liar Among Us leaves you with that rare, delicious chill, the kind that makes you glance at the window twice before sleeping.

🎬 And here’s the exciting part: this darkly gripping tale is soon to be adapted into a major motion series; and honestly, it deserves every frame.
