Fables & Other Lies by Claire Contreras
5.0
Wow! What an experience! I was completely blown away by this enchanting and unique romance. Claire Contreras does a phenomenal job weaving a fantastic forbidden romance with Caribbean folklore and a touch of dark magic. It's effortless and captivating and I loved every second of it. I'm absolutely addicted to the mystery and the mystics. There's an eerie ambience brought to you by the unknown and it creates the most amazing tension. I can't stress enough how good Fables & Other Lies was. I did not want it to end.
Penelope and River come from feuding families so right away you know you're going to get that delicious back and forth that only a rivals romance can provide. They didn't disappoint. These two radiate heat and sexual tension. As the story gets deeper and deeper you see how entwined their lives were and how intensely the feelings for one other run.
Side note, I should admit, I'm pretty sure I fell for River long before I read this book - when we were given a short teaser. *dreamy sigh*
I'm gonna be honest Fables & Other Lies is so outside what I would typically read but I'm obsessed. I loved that this introduced me to a whole new book world. You don't want to miss out on this amazing gothic read!
