All of her books leave me on the edge of my seat, wanting more. The Academy Series, beautiful. C. L. Stone writes books that I can pretend that I am the main character. SPOILER!! : Alright so, the very first book I read of C. L. Stone was the first book in The Scarab Beetle Series, Thief. I loved the book, it was absolutely thrilling, funny, romantic, tempting, and HOT. This book, Liar, was exactly the same. I only have a few comments that I'd like to share. First of all Kayli, I wish she didn't seem so...stuck up her own butt, I mean, she is the main character, but she... I can't really explain it. She just needs more emotion and more love for the boys. Like Sang in the Academy Series, she is sooooo loving to everyone, her sister for example, I just wanted to smack her across her dang face she made me so mad by the way she was treating Sang, but after EVERYTHING she does to Sang, Sang still loves her and takes care of her the best that she can. The same with her mother and father. I guess I just got too used to Sang's character, maybe Kayli is supposed to be the way she is. I just wish that Kayli's relationship with the boys moved faster. She needs to tell the boys or at least hint to the boys of her affection towards them all! It makes me frustrated! I hope her character develops more in the next book, which I am definitely buying on the day is comes out!!! ANYWAY! : Overall! I love The Scarab Beetle Series, I hope it develops just as well as The Academy Series has. If you have not yet read The Academy Series by C. L. Stone, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO BUY IT ASAP! I Congratulations C. L. Stone, your books are my obsession and I'm addicted to all the characters. I soon hope you'll allow me to beta test a few. I don't know if I can wait much longer before I get to the end on the series. <3 ~Yours Truly, * Alyssa Erin Bryant * Review: good book 2 - Kayli is definitely a "new adult" series (unlike Ghost Bird, the other series about the Academy that has a more YA vibe since most of the characters are sophomores in high school) Not that there is sex, but the characters are mostly in their early 20s and more comfortable with their sexuality. I want Kayli to just trust her team, but it makes sense that her world is upside down, so she shouldn't just have immediate faith in men she’s known a week, when the men in her family both are keeping secrets from her. CL Stone is also really able to sell that Kayli is falling in love with all these young men at the same time. She just wants to have a reliable family the shows her affection & when her family becomes hot young men with whom she is not related that means there will be kissing. Looks like this series might start weaving into Ghost Bird some. It’s fun to see the little cameos from the other series (but not necessary to read the other series to follow along at all — though it is a good read). What works about this series for me is that it is the perfect balance of action & character development & the mysteries are well-plotted. It's such a good combo that I'm willing to follow a girl who's in love with 5 guys who are all interested in her back. (I wish she didn't have to not like female relationships for this to work, but I sort of understand that it would be hard if there was another girl there to talk out the weirdness with.) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,394,936 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #32,928 in New Adult & College Romance (Books) #52,706 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #293,082 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Book 2 of 6 | The Academy Scarab Beetle Series | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,347) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.88 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1500578592 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1500578596 | | Item Weight | 13.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 388 pages | | Publication date | August 18, 2014 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![The Academy - Liar (The Scarab Beetle Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6177mnH04xL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful! *by A***T on October 6, 2014* I love C.

I had to keep reminding myself that Kayli was new to everything and had to find her own way. Once I made it past that hurdle ( of my own making) everything started falling into place and I could not put the book down! What I love about C.L. Stone's writing is she takes the time to really develop the characters and give you their back story so you feel like you know everyone and understand why they do what they do. What I love specifically about this book: The guys! How could you not love these guys and the dynamic they create with each other. Kayli's journey! Her struggles are so natural and at times you want to say go ahead and just love these guys! The potential for this group and story! You have the adventures they will get into along the way and their journey as a group learning how to communicate and how they fit together. I don't know how she does it with each of her books coming up with her story development and personal development with such large groups. Another Hit and Must read! Start with book 1 and just keep reading! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15038865-the-academy-liar-the-scarab-beetle-series](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/15038865-the-academy-liar-the-scarab-beetle-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
