*ARC provided by author for honest review***PLEASE NOTE** If you have NOT read Laced in Malice then my review WILL contain spoilers.4.5 HeartsLet me just say, as I have in many reviews recently, I absolutely LOVE getting things from the male POV. It totally puts a new spin on a story and makes you feel like you are reading a completely different book. So, needless to say, I loved Written in Malice!As stated in the summary, this is basically Laced in Malice retold from Oliver's POV. We get an insight here that we didn't get in that book though. Like why he so willingly goes along with Lizzie's plan to bring down Principal Smart and his daughter, Zara. Seeing things through Oliver's eyes brings a new perspective to how little regard the twins have for others. But at the same time, it made me see a little clearer why Oliver is at Lizzie's beck and call. The guilt he feels for the things that happen to her, though misplaced, is understandable. And Lizzie uses that guilt to her full advantage.And I knew Oliver was a man whore but this book sheds a whole new light on just how big of one. OMG! He seriously would screw anything with two legs! I still love him though. Especially after being able to get his side of the growing relationship between him and Zara. He really does care about her and my heart broke for him in the end even more than it did in the first book. I just hope she can forgive him on some level. Especially after reading his journals.One person who my opinion did not change on is Lizzie. I hate her just as much, if not more in this one. Even knowing her situation does not change my feelings for her. She is just pure evil. And that ending, well let's just say, it shows how little she cares for anyone but herself.This book is a must read especially for all those who have read Laced in Malice!! I am dying for the next book already.
