A review by mcgbreads
Mistress of Lies by K.M. Enright

Did not finish book. Stopped at 16%.
I was very excited about this one, especially because of that stunning cover. However, it didn't work for me. A lot of the things I would've found interesting happen off-page, so there's a lot of telling instead of showing. I can't really say I understand that choice; I don't get why you would leave out the most engaging parts of character development and just expect the audience to connect to the characters that way. I liked the idea of Blood Workers and how they worked, it's an interesting take on vampire-adjacent characters, but we don't get much worldbuilding or plot around that. I don't know, I guess I expected more.
