Daughter of Lies by Kenley Davidson
5.0
“I realize it’s not quite the thing for gentlemen to find out that we have ankles, but should they also not be permitted to discover that we have thoughts?”
DAUGHTER OF LIES
Daughter of Lies by Kenley Davidson is book five of the Andari Chronicles and a retelling of Snow White! We met Brenna in book 3 and while we only got a glimpse of her, she definitely gave off some sassy vibes. But now she gets the spotlight and she hates it! She misses being a spy now that she has taken over as Countess. She reluctantly accepts an invitation to go visit her mother whom she barely knows. Being stripped of a normal family, she has a little hope that this could be the time to begin anew. However, that hope disappears when her mother reveals herself to be vain and critical. Not only that, someone is trying to kill her. The neighbor nobleman, Rom, seems a little dim-witted, but Brenna will have to work with him to find out who is trying to kill her.
Despite the fact that someone is trying to kill Brenna, this book is surprisingly light-hearted. In fact, Brenna is overjoyed that someone is trying to kill her because it brings some excitement to her newly dull life. She is far from a typical countess and I loved her candor! In fact, there were many moments where I laughed out loud. Rom is actually perfect for her. I was worried in book 3 that the author would try to force a romantic relationship with Alexei when they had absolutely zero chemistry. So I am glad Alexei had his own story and now Brenna gets to shine.
Another wonderful aspect of this book is the wonderful twists and turns. Even Quinn makes an appearance and now I desperately want him to have his own story. PLEASE. It would definitely be a unique story to be sure. Again, Esther Wane is the narrator and as always she is perfect. Another 5 out of 5 stars.
