A review by thewanderingbookcase
Fables & Other Lies by Claire Contreras
4.0
Short, sweet, and to the point. If you are looking for a quick, gothic romance this is the book for you! Love a story about curses, a mysterious manor, strange deaths/disappearances, an estranged daughter, and a devilishly handsome man? If the answer is “yes”, then I definitely recommend this book.
.
I loved that the author was inspired by her grandmother’s folklore retellings from the Dominican Republic(originating from Africa).
.
The only thing that I felt I missed out on was the background into the history of the curse and the families. I wish that part had been a little more in depth.
