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.

RELEASE: Your Sound




Your Sound
(Sherbrooke Station, #3)
Author: Katia Rose
Pub Date: Dec 1, 2018 
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance 


Molly Myers is just your average groupie next door.

Literally.

The rock star whose posters cover her bedroom wall is banging her roommate right on the other side of it. Even for Molly, reigning queen of embarrassing moments, the situation is epically awkward. Every thump of the headboard is just one more reminder that the lead singers of famous bands don’t date bumbling shy girls too anxious to leave their own rooms.

JP Bouchard-Guindon wasn’t looking for Molly’s room when he accidentally burst through the door, but the wild-haired girl lying there in her underwear was certainly worth the detour.

As the keyboardist for Montreal’s latest indie rock sensation, JP has met his fair share of fangirls. He’s always ready to throw up some finger guns for a photo. What he’s not ready for is the way skittish, wide-eyed Molly Myers gets stuck inside his head.

A practical joker and a social recluse are the last people anyone expects a connection between. She’s silence aching for a voice, and he’s sound with a craving for quiet. Their differences will either pull them together, or fracture their worlds when they push them apart.

EXCERPT

You know what they say: if you don’t have a weird roommate, you are the weird roommate.

I tip the contents of my laundry basket out on my bed and reach to turn up the volume on my speakers. My ‘Putting Clothes Away’ playlist—which features a lot of Adam Levine—is currently blasting out of the surround system. Along with my vintage record player, the speaker set is probably the only thing of value in my tiny, stuffy, and currently sweltering bedroom.

“Try to tell you no, ‘cause I’m busy folding up this dress. Try to tell you stop, ‘cause my laundry is all still a mess.”

The towel starts slipping off my head as I nod along to the beat of my improvised lyrics. I straighten it back in place and glance at the rest of my outfit—a ribbed green tank top, faded pink I’m-Down-To-My-Last-Pair-And-Desperate granny panties, and a Korean cloth face mask complete with nostril holes that makes me look like Voldemort had drunk sex with a mannequin.

Yeah, no way I’m the weird roommate.

AUTHOR BIO

A habit of jetting off to distant countries means she’s rarely in one place for very long, but she calls the frigid northland that is Canada home.

MY REVIEW

This prequel is a whirlwind from start to finish. I need to catch my breath. It is a gritty, violent and dark read right from the get-go. It is not for everyone and will have triggers.

Dani Rene has started off this series with a BANG! It is downright explosive and sets the scene and the bar for her upcoming books in this series.

The cliff-hanger ending can only be called cruel because I’m now desperate to continue this series!

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