REVIEW: Lies




LIES
Web of Sin book 2
Author: Aleatha Romig
Release Day: Dec 4, 2018

The twisted and intriguing storytelling that you loved in Consequences and Infidelity continues with an all-new alpha anti-hero in the dark romance series Web of Sin, by New York Times bestselling author Aleatha Romig.

BLURB 

I am...

That’s no longer an easy statement.

Who am I?

Since Sterling Sparrow, a man so handsome he takes my breath away and so infuriating he pushes me in ways I’ve never known, came barreling into my life like a category five hurricane, I can’t even finish that simple statement.

In twenty-six years I’ve lived three lives—been three different people.

Renee. Kennedy. And now, Araneae.

They say that I was named after the spider to make me resilient.

Sparrow would then be a bird.

Birds eat spiders.

I prefer to consider myself a cat. It ups my chance of surviving the world I’m now living.

Maybe that’s only wishful thinking because according to Sterling, my number of lives is running out.

There are people who want to harm me, to learn the secrets they claim that I possess.

The only person to offer me protection is Sterling Sparrow.

Can I trust a man who willingly put me in the sight of danger?

What is real?

What are lies?

Have you been Aleatha’d?

Lies is book two of the Web of Sin trilogy to be read after Secrets

MY REVIEW 

Lies is the second book in the captivating Web of Sin Series.

Araneae has been brought into Sterling’s world and she is now acclimating herself. Or is she?

Sterling seems to want to keep Araneae ignorant to the ways of his world. He is adamant that she keep her rose-coloured glasses when it comes to him and the world she is now living. Is this because he truly cares for her, or, is he hiding something that could change Araneae’s mind about him and everything he stands for irrevocably?

This is a wonderful follow-up to the first book in the series, Secrets. It has all the intrigue but I find, like most second books in a series, the plot is in a type of stasis. Lies is full of explanation, details and build-up for the final book in the series. That is not to say there is no intrigue or twists and turns because this is Aleatha after all. More that, they are subtle until the cliff-hanger ending. THAT, has me tied in knots and wondering where this story is headed.

Sterling in this book is absolutely perfect! His commanding ways and the way he concedes to Araneae to make her happy, endears him to my heart. But, I’m now wondering, if I’ve been seeing him through rose-coloured glasses too. I have a feeling there are still secrets that he’s holding close to the chest and that as result, the next instalment will be explosive!

Araneae is finally getting a foothold in Sterling’s world and is definitely searing her way into his heart. She is not afraid to make demands and no longer does she bend to commands. This leaves the interactions between her and Sterling absolutely electric! She is proving herself to be a queen capable of standing at his side.

I’m without a doubt invested in this intoxicating series. I cannot wait for the next book, Promises.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
