Why read it?
1 author picked Mistress of Lies as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
From the very first page, I fell in love with this book and the female lead, Shan. Mistress opens strong with willful, unrepentant patricide as Shan ascends to her place at the head of her family, prepared to kill and claw her way to the top of an empire that quite literally runs on blood.
In this house, I support women’s rights and women’s wrongs. I love an unrepentant spymaster, and this one more than delivers with its magnificent web of blood, politics, and amorous entanglements that will either topple an empire or ruin the character’s lives, maybe both.
