Lies That Sinners Tell

Anne Malcom — 2021

Darkness asked her to dance.It started with a cold stare.An arrangement.A deal with a devil in a bespoke suit.He was wicked. Cruel. No sane person would fall in love with him.But sanity abandoned her the second she agreed to be his.She chose to take his hand.It started with a white dress.With ocean eyes.With a woman he had to have, even though he had no business touching her porcelain skin.She was never meant to enter his world.He dragged her in anyway.It was meant to be about his twisted, selfish desires.She gave him a glimpse of the man he could've been had the world not turned him into a monster.He led her into the abyss.There, in the darkness, she learned wicked things.He knew he'd ruin her life, loving her. So he lied. Like the sinner he was, he broke her gentle, precious heart.Like only a devil could.But the dance had to end.

Obviously I think this book can be interpreted in many different ways- I think it’s up to the individual reader tbh. I personally liked it- as much as I hate superficial people in real life, I have to say I really liked Stella. While I resonated with her past and the issue concerning her mother, I’m not entirely sure how medically accurate it is? But, I’m also not a psychologist, but it’s interesting. Jay is alright. It was predictable in the sense that he said he would fall in love, he does, and then is an asshole at the end (actually throughout it). But I’m still dying to know what happens in the next one, so once the kindle app gets its stuff together, I can read it.
