Within Obsession and Lies by Harper Wylde, Stacy Jones

4.0

3.75⭐️

People were drawn to her like moths to a flame, and the longer she was in their presence, the deeper their infatuation grew.


Let’s start with the fact that I might be bias with this review, because I’m in the mood of reverse harem and insta-lust moments.

Within Obsession and Lies tells us a story about Arawyn, a twenty six years old woman, who had a great deal of power, but had no idea how to control them. She lived in solitary because anyone who spent their time with her ended up being obsessed and tried to harm her.

Her hair lost its color until it was nearly white. Her eyes, once a normal, soft green, were now a green so pale they were nearly silver.



There were moments when I couldn’t help but snicker. One of those moments was the fact she named her cat Asshole. Come on, it’s funny.

While I enjoyed reading this book, there are some plot holes in this story. For example; Where did she get the money in the first place to forge the weapon? How did she hide from her parents since she ran away at the age of 16?

To summarize, we got:
Reverse Harem
Fae
Insta-lust
Strong FMC
Smut

In short, I had an enjoyable time reading Within Obsession and Lies. If you’re looking for smut and fantasy (but mostly smut), you might enjoy this book.
