Review: Tell Me Lies: A Dark Bully Anthology
I recently had the pleasure of diving into an ARC of Tell Me Lies: A Dark Bully Anthology, a hefty collection of short stories spanning 842 pages and penned by 13 different authors. I devoured this book in just one day, and overall, it was a fantastic read!
Two standout stories for me were Love/Hate Games by Sofia Aves and Rage’s Claim by Winter Sloan. These stories were gripping and kept me hooked from start to finish.
However, I must mention that I wasn’t a fan of the first story, Pretty Little Deceiver by Lacee Hightower. No offense to the author, but I found it overly descriptive and repetitive, which almost made me put the book down. I believe this story would have been better placed somewhere in the middle of the anthology rather than at the beginning.
Additionally, there were several typos and punctuation errors throughout the book, which was a bit distracting. Despite these issues, I still gave the book a 4-star rating because the other stories were so compelling.
It’s important to note that this book does contain sexual content and some violence, so be aware of that going in.
One of the reasons I love anthologies is discovering new authors, and this book did not disappoint in that regard. I’ve definitely found new authors that I will be purchasing books from in the future.
If you’re into enemies-to-lovers stories, I would definitely recommend this anthology. While I wouldn’t classify it as dark romance, it has a lot of enjoyable “fluff” that makes it a great read.
