Eli is such a great character from the Big Bad Wolf series and I love that he’s getting his own. He comes off so prickly and aloof but at the same time wanting some serious affection. I love how Julien recognizes this and helps Eli let go. Their banter and the overall story is so engaging to read.

I both love and hate that this is a first in a series because I immediately want to read the next and the next.

Thank you Carina Press and NetGalley for the ARC!

Charlie Adhara brings the sass in Pack of Lies. Eli's back, and he's as irreverent, loveable, and secretly vulnerable as ever while he tries to save the Maudit Falls retreat, keep from letting Cooper and Park down, and hold onto his life as he knows it. Meanwhile newcomer Julien is searching for answers to his brother's mysterious death, keeping secrets of his own, and the sparks that fly between them are impossible to deny. With lives at stake and worse, their squishy heart feelings causing problems, can they get it together to solve the mystery?
