“Lies that Bind” is THE book that braids together lust, power, love, and control all together. This was a phenomenal read. The “main” character, Adele is plagued by a dark secret that she cannot even tell to her partner, Lorelei. When a stranger comes to visit Adele, the stranger dips into Adele’s darkish secrets and lures Adele with secret promises and riches. Adele and Lorelei must contend with this newcomer, and dive into every dark corner of their mirrored pasts.
