A review by courtsbooknook
Fables & Other Lies by Claire Contreras

dark tense fast-paced

3.0

This had a lot of potential, but I just wanted the story to be developed a bit more. I thought the idea of making deals with the devil was fun and interesting and I liked that the story took place on an island. I wasn't prepared for the book to be so heavy at times which kind of threw me off. I liked River and thought he made an good contrast to Penelope. The Carnival and party setting also pulled me in. Overall, this was paced quickly, but it wasn't something I would pick normally. *I did receive this as part of a book box that I'm posting about.*
