BOOK REVIEW- THE LIAR CHARMS-Remy’s just graduated college and... been kidnapped! Sent to auction. And she doesn’t have the vaguest idea why. But intractable businessman Isaiah Grommet knows why, knows what he’s purchased, knows what Remy was bred for, knows what she is: a Liar Charm. After the requisite training from Pakken, Inc., Remy and her newfound little genetic talent will be invaluable to Isaiah’s billionaire empire –voluntary or not.
Awakening in a locked room in New York City with other bewildered young women Remy is thunderstruck when informed by Isaiah what her new future is: Pakken, Inc. will train her and then she’ll be working for him. Or, she can face the wrath (not to mention the executioner!) of Pakken itself, an old and powerful company of very patriarchal men siring very special daughters for very special remuneration they are NOT going to give up.
But one Pakken father has had enough –and he’s secretly doing something about it. Another one is too but in a decidedly lethal direction. And Remy? Remy has a whopping big secret herself, one Pakken sure hasn’t bargained for.
’Cause when it comes to being forced into enslaved servitude, hipster Remy has her own pretty intractable ideas, creatively inventive ones if you want to be charitable, brain-bleached hilarious ones if you want to be accurate. So if Remy can just turn her “screw yous” into “yessirs” instead of launching her barmiest blast of fake-the-funk evah, she MIGHT not only stay alive but even pull a Captain Sully and land the whole gigabucks Pakken lot of ’em smack in the Hudson!
Unfortunately Remy has never managed a “yessir” in her life.
THE LIAR CHARMS is a humorous urban fantasy suspense novel. AMAZON
WOW! Just WOW! What a story. A whole world, "Business" World really well built. Not a very nice world true but such an enjoyable, well written story of good & evil. And Remy? What a brash, tell it like it is heroine. She may be held captive, but she still has her kick butt, take no prisoners, don't cave in attitude. Some of her ways of putting things were hilarious. It costs her but she still keeps fighting with everything she has. She is always catching her owner" Isaiah Grommet off guard. Mainly because she doesn't respond to "punishment "the ways that he is expecting or used to. Yeah, I know: Owner, punishments. So not good. After I agreed to read and review this book, I thought, "Oh boy, I hope I didn't make a mistake on this one, hope I don't hate it". That would be "no" and "no", as you can see from my earlier words. I like how the "why" of Remy's kidnapping comes out. Not dragging it out but really building it up as it goes. Of course "we" know why from the blurb but nice how it unfolds to Remy. Oh and yes there will be swearing (sorry about that) because Remy is one ANGRY girl about her life being not hers anymore. She is basically a "slave," when it comes to what she wants, it doesn't mean a thing to Isaiah or the corporation. Pakken is one greedy, ruthless corporation but its also well organized. But she's not going down without a fight, not going quietly into the night. I sooo wanted to punch Isaiah not only because of what he did to her but also because he had such a smooth "you should be so honored" attitude. It was almost , why are you fighting this? You'll get used to this, and then you'll thank me. Oh, they are SO going to regret this!!!
Just to let you know there were plenty of secondary characters to enjoy as well. Yep, enjoyed every minute of this one. Have fun sorting out the truly evil from the partly evil and the hidden"good guys".
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
