Fool Me Once by Ariana Nash
5.0
[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
***REVIEW THE TRIGGER WARNINGS BEFORE READING THIS BOOK AS THE MATERIAL DISCUSSED IN THIS DARK ROMANCE CAN BE DIFFICULT***
Fool Me Once by Ariana Nash is the first book in the Court of Pain series. Lark plays the fool in the Court of Love, He works every room and learns every secret with devious intentions no one knows about. It isn’t until people start dying that all of the cards Lark has held are revealed showing that no court is safe.
Lark is a character with a dark past that leads him to constantly put on a show to prevent anyone from looking too close. Unfortunately and fortunately he catches the eye of the Prince of Love, Arin, and the two find themselves drawn to each other and revealing truths that would otherwise stay buried. Lark uses sexuality as a weapon but feels his armor cracking when Arin lets him in.
Beautiful lie… He thought me beautiful, and a liar, a thorn on the stem of a rose.
Arin is a mystery to Lark as the prince behind the door. It isn’t until Arin approaches Lark in secret that you learn that he has been pulling the strings for a lot longer than anyone has realized. When tragedy strikes Arin is torn between loyalty, shame and desire.
He was too damn good, too brilliant, and everything I’d ruin, spoil, destroy.
This is a review I am keeping brief because as the layers unfolded and secrets were revealed each character grew in depth and my love for them. Things are not simple in the Courts of Love, War, Justice and Pain but this doesn’t mean that these characters aren’t meant to find happiness. With a cliffhanger that left me needing the next book right this second I am thrilled to say you got me again Ariana Nash.
5 stars for a dark twisty tale of Lark and Arin finding if any truth is beneath the façade.
