Kayli Winchester can finally let go of her thieving past and for once walk on the right side of the law. She’s had enough of the hustle and is determined to become the good girl. But her brother, Wil, is still missing. On the hunt for him, she discovers something worse than a missing sibling: Marc, Raven, Axel, Corey and Brandon. These aren’t just scoundrels with hearts of gold. They’re flat out criminals. But they’re criminals who need her. In a ruse to draw them away from her brother and learn more about this so-called Academy, Kayli joins them on a mission to Florida in search of a missing little girl. Kayli will do anything to make sure her brother is safe. She’ll find their leader. She’ll discover their intentions. She’ll infiltrate their ranks. And if they try to threaten her brother or herself, she’ll burn them all. But when these five hot Academy teammates all contend for her heart, her resistance starts to crumble. Maybe she wasn’t meant to be the good girl, anyway. Review: Wonderful! - I love C. L. Stone. She is my favorite author. 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 | #4,596,109 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #58,042 in New Adult & College Romance (Books) #110,555 in Contemporary Romance (Books) #729,450 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,349 Reviews | ## 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.

Stone is becoming one of my favorite authors. I love the Scarab Beetle Series! I have also read her Ghost Bird Series. It is very easy to fall into the Academy fantasy land! How can I join?? I feel that I'm enjoying the Scarab Beetle Series the most. Kayli is a strong lead female character, whereas, Sang (Ghost Bird) is a damsel in distress. I love how Kayli hekpos the Academy boys in their missions. She solves problems... she doesn't just wait to be rescued. Scarab Beetle is also a bit more adult....right up my alley! These books have love, adventure, sexual situations, dysfunctional families and intrigue! The concept of the "Academy" itself is awesome. I recommend ALL of the Academy books! --- ## 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.kg/products/15038865-the-academy-liar-the-scarab-beetle-series](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/15038865-the-academy-liar-the-scarab-beetle-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
