Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the free copy! <3

It's been a while I've read a lovely paranormal book, and this one was really good! There's mystery, paranormal elements, humor and romance! The mix of all those aspects create a lovely reading you can enjoy to relax yourself.
I can't wait to see what's next! I'm super ready to know more about all those characters, secondary ones included!

I don’t read Sci-fi at all but knowing the author and knowing how fun she can be, I had to give it a try.
It’s funny, beautiful written with great characters and an unexpected Romance. I loved the heroine and while I felt like some of the scenes were a bit over the top, I really enjoyed it.

Very grateful to the publisher for my review copy

Thank you to NetGalley and Oliver Heber Books for the chance to read and review Love Lies. I am sharing this review voluntarily. I requested this ARC because I was intrigued by the synopsis and I quickly realized that sci-fi is not a genre for me. Despite that I can absolutely recognize that this was an intriguing plot, it was super well written and the characters were awesome. I just had a hard time suspending belief in order to fully get into it which is not the issue of the author. If it’s your genre, go for it, it’s incredibly fun.

This has been a humorous entertaining series and this book was no different. The characters are quirky and full of big personalities. The storyline is well written and a lot of fun to read.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.

Great story with lots of awesome paranormal characters. Some laughs, some typos or omitted words, but still a great read. Normally I don't enjoy paranormal but this was good. It is part of a series but can be read as a standalone.

2.5 stars!
Compare to the first two books in the series , this one was a disappointment for me. Not enough Abernathy (and why suddenly he lost his all charm...?) and Hanna making a stupid decisions.
I wanted a different story for these two...

In Cynthias St. Aubin's 'Love Lies' Hanna is finding headless vampires around every corner and now she has a very important decision to make.

Tails From The Alpha Art Gallery is the series that reignited my love of paranormal! Comedy hits the spot for me in paranormal romance books and this is exactly the kind of humor I love. The ending of this book was so atmospheric, a very dreamlike quality and I loved it. If it had ended with this book I would have been happy with this as an ending to a trilogy, but I see there is more to come and I am very excited to read more from these characters, especially Detective Morrison.

I enjoyed this book for 4 reasons,
1) Werewolves
2) werewolves
3) Werewolves
4) the story.
I love everything about werewolves, and to top it off you give me a feud between vampires and werewolves. I m sold!!
I went into this blindly and loved every bit of the story، the characters and the twists and turns. Honestly do yourselves a favor, dive into this yummy treat and thank me later.

I love paranormal romances as much as the next girl, but I really wish I had read the previous book(s) in this series. Love Lies is about gallery assistant Hanna Harvey and her quirky adventures with vampires and werewolves--oh my! I love that the storyline is unique and interesting enough to keep me reading, even though I hadn't read the previous books. I liked the Alpha males more than I really liked Hanna, but that's ok! Some of the timing was a bit weird but it was still a fun read and was cozy for winter.

What a great way to wrap up the series. It had me guessing u til the very end. I couldn't put it down. Would definitely recommend.

I don’t normally read this genre, but I did enjoy it.
It was a mixture of romance, steamy romance, and yet it had great comedic moments. I found myself overall enjoying this book.

I love a good paranormal romance, and even though I haven't read books one and two I found this story full of snark and sarcasm and steamy romance. This is definitely a book where you should read books one and two first. Hanna is an heir to a supernatural werewolf line and she has a choice to make about whether to fully dive into that world. The pros are great, and will allow her to be with the man she loves, but the con is actually becoming a werewolf and she's not sure she's ready.

Love Lies is a fast-paced story about a werewolf heir named Hanna. She’s very relatable in a hyper, snarky, wanna jump your boss’s bones kind a way. I liked her a lot. Back to the jumping her boss… apparently part of her being an heir is that if she has sex with an alpha werewolf, she will transform into a werewolf. Being a werewolf is part of her DNA, but if she doesn’t have sex with an alpha werewolf, she will live as a mundane human. There are also vampires, and of course looming war.

I didn’t realize this was part of a series when I started reading it. The book can be read as a stand-alone. Even though parts of the previous story were explained, there were times I felt like I was missing out on the whole thing. I was happy to find out there were previous books, and I would be able to learn more about the past that was hinted at in this book.

This book is described through Hanna’s point of view. She’s blunt, snarky, and sometimes too willing to share some information. I liked Hanna from the start. She has great spirit and sarcasm. There wasn’t much I didn’t like about Love Lies. There is violence, sex and swearing, but it wasn’t distracting from the story. I’m definitely going to read the first two books in the series.

I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley and am leaving my honest review voluntarily. I will be adding this review to my website EveHallows.com.

I didn't read the previous books in this series, and I wished I had. There was a lot that I wanted explained, but that's on me.

This was an enjoyable paranormal romance, hinged with a good mystery. Overall, I had fun despite not reading the first two.

This book was provided to me by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I made the mistake of reading this book without reading the previews two, however, I personally didnt feel as lost as I though I would. <b> However, I do highly highly recommend to read the other two because this is a conclusion so it has a lot lot of spoilers </b>

I really enjoyed the writting style, it was kinda reading/talking with your friend Hanna and her crazy crazy life.
Adored the famous people that make their apperance in this novels, it was so much fun!

Hanna's humor is so dry and Mark is sooo alpha malish!! their chemistry was on point and the sparks ... uufff!!! 10/10
This is one of the first reads where the woman does not jump eagerly to become a supernatural but actually has questions and worries and clearly wants to make an informed decision.

Overall it was a fun read, I will go back and read the whole series.

If you are looking for something that has everykind of supernatural and its light and fun --> look no further.

I wish I had read the previous two books before reading this one, it would have helped with understanding the set up and the entire background of the series.

I enjoyed the paranormal romance aspect of the book and how they were involved in a contemporary life. It had a perfect blend of mystery and humour that kept the reader engaged with the entire book.

I really wanna go back and read the other books in the series as I feel like it would build up more with the entire story

*I received a free copy of this novel in exchange for my honest opinion.

Before this book, I was very unfamiliar with the paranormal romance genre, so I didn't have many expectations for this book going in. But WOW. This was such a fun read. It was funny, engrossing, and sexy in all my favorite ways. Despite not having read the two preceding books, I didn't feel as though I was missing too much information. This book had me laughing all the way through and kept me up late to finish reading. I'm hooked on this series and will definitely read any future books.

The perfect ending to a great series. With everything you've come to expect from a Cynthia St Aubin book - giggles, glitter, great romance mixed with comedy. Oh, and a giraffe- that I must admit was a new one!

Hanna is going to have to make a decision about her future and place in the world and she'd best di it quickly. Cos' someone may or may not have it in for her - going by the vampire head found in her car!

Brilliantly witty, snarky banter, love tangles, and absolute mayhem. Great read and I'm sad to see the cast go if I'm honest. But hopefully, we'll get to catch up with them in the future. I'm a sucker for everyone having a HEA and that's why I'm not too fond of love triangles, someone always ends up heart hurt.
