Every dark wish,
Costs a lie to make reality.
“Punish me.”
Just two words sealed my fate.
Eli took me and made me his.
I didn’t know the submission he’d demand from me.
Or the secrets I kept buried deep inside.
But there was more beyond this dark wish of mine.
More hidden behind those perfect dark lies of his.
Because it wasn’t just my soul that craved redemption.
And when a powerful man becomes obsessed with a woman …
He’ll do whatever it takes to twist her…
Keep her…
And own her.
Dark Lies is the follow up to the exciting Dark Romance novel Dark Wish by New York Times & USA Today Bestselling Author Clarissa Wild. This is the conclusion to Amelia & Eli's story.

EXCERPT
“Doing some light reading I see.”
His voice makes me spin on my heels, but it’s his form that makes me drop the book entirely. And with form, I mean well-shaped body like Adonis standing naked right in front of me.
My eyes widen, saliva building in my mouth while my eyes drape over his aptly sculpted torso, the rugged abs underneath, and that V-line that leads to an oh-so-delicious…
No, I can’t think about that. Stop it, Amelia.
“Cat got your tongue?” he muses, his brow rising flirtatiously.
I avert my eyes and put a hand in front of my eye. “My God …”
“God is kind of busy right now,” he says, stepping towards me. “But I’m here if you need something.”
I roll my eyes but force myself to look the other way. Too bad my hand has fingers and they can’t help split apart to catch a glimpse of that handsome body and that—Oh my god did I really have that inside me—thing.
He grabs a black turtleneck draped over his chair and throws it on, which is a curious thing to do if you ask me when you don’t even have underwear on. But I don’t think that’s a coincidence. In fact, I’m more inclined to believe he’s giving me a piece of my own medicine.
“It’s not forbidden to look, you know,” he says with a smug smile on his face. “You’ve done it plenty of times before.”
Now I really can’t stop the redness from overtaking my face.
“Principles,” I mutter. “And would you please put something on?”
He suddenly grabs my hand and lowers it. I hadn’t realized he was already this close to me. “Now why would I do that?”
“Because it’s cold,” I hiss. I don’t care if it’s cold, I just know that I’m getting way too hot and that needs to stop.
“Oh, I’m not cold … far from it, in fact,” he jokes, but the rolling sound his voice makes at the end pushes all my buttons. “I think it’s because you can’t stop looking.”
The dirty, full-on smirk that follows makes me want to slap it off his face.

My Review
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book picks up right where the other left off.
We get to learn some of Eli's history growing up in the house of sin. That there are many different ways in which they punish the sinners they keep there. More about the night and events that lead up to Eli taking Amelia to the house.
Dark and angsty this book was hard to put down. After the action of the beginning, it does slow down a bit as Eli does what he feels is his best to win her over. And all she wants is her freedom. All he wants is to convince her to stay with him forever. There are rules that must be followed regarding the house and he decides to tell the secrets he's been keeping, hoping it will finally get her to see how much he needs her in his life.
