Fool Me Thrice by Lizzie Morton was just released. This romantic suspense book will have you on the edge of your seat at all the best moments. Put on your detective hats, it's time to figure out who is under that hoodie, and causing all the chaos for the Becket family.
Fool Me Thrice is the third, and final, book in the Fool Me trilogy. In the first two books we were following Michael Becket, and seeing how the hooded figure affected his life. That person also was affecting the life of his mom and sister. It was what caused them to be separated. Now in Fool Me Thrice, we are checking in with Josie. Because if you read Fool Me Twice, then you know how that book ended. It was intense. That scene will appear in this book as well, but first we need backstory. Not only that but we need to see how Josie and Evan meet, and all that ensues until the big suspenseful moment occurs. As this is an ongoing story, I can't say much more than what I have.
Let's dive into my thoughts...
Simply put, Josie and Evan are amazing.
Josie is simply trying to live her life and make it as real as possible. Which being hid away, and having to use a fake identity, makes it a bit more difficult. She has her eyes set on college though, and she's going to do amazing things. Yet you can always see her holding herself back a little bit. She's guarded herself, and that is to be expected. It's hard to form attachments when you might have to run again.
Evan is 100% devoted to his job. This Becket case that he's been working on has taken a lot of his energy, but he's determined to see it through to the end. Yet once he meets Josie, he finds himself drawn to her. Which he should be avoiding at all costs! First she's his job (forbidden!), and second she's a decade younger than him (age gap!). Not to mention that his job can be dangerous, so it makes relationships tricky.
Their introduction though once the hooded figure make an appearance begins to change everything though. I loved how their connection built throughout the story. You could see Evan fighting this the best he could. Yet there was Josie fighting back, and going after what she wanted. I also loved how Evan would listen to everything Josie said. It was as though he was soaking it all in for his memories while trying not to fall.
I kept waiting for the "cat" to appear and make their presence known. Once they did, I kept looking for signs another appearance was about to happen. I was trying to figure out who it was, and how they always knew where Josie was. How was she always found?
How everything played out in the cat and mouse game was intense. It is romantic suspense perfection. I honestly did not figure out who was behind it all until closer to the end. There were plenty of candidates swirling around in my mind though.
Go start this series with Fool Me Once, and be prepared to fall for Lizzie Morton's writing, and her characters. Absolutely fabulous!

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts about Fool Me Thrice. This was a 5 star read for me, and the story absolutely captivated me. If you enjoy romantic suspense books that feature an age gap with a little bit of a forbidden relationship as well, then you need to check this one out.
Happy Reading,

Run, Josie, Run. Those are the words he wrote to me and that's exactly what I'm doing.
I thought I was saving all of us, I thought I'd fooled him thrice. The only person I fooled was myself. Trapped in the darkness, I wondered if losing would be the easy way out.
Until Evan.
Off limits. Dangerous. Everything I should stay away from.
The end was coming, I could feel it. But just when the odds were in my favour, the tables turned, taking me right back to where it all began, wondering who I could trust.
If any one.
Only one thing is certain in this game of cat and mouse: there can only be one winner.
I'm determined to make sure it's me.
