Aimée Gray asked Caroline Cusanelli:

Hey, I loved your book, A Liar's Twisted Tongue, and wanted to ask if another book inspired it and, if so, by which one? Thank you

Caroline Cusanelli Gosh, honestly I think a lot of my childhood favs inspired this. The first that comes to mind is the Mortal Instruments series! I loved those in my pre teens/early teens, and I think there are a lot of little similarities in The Fated Blood Trilogy. A Liar's Twisted Tongue is definitely a culmination of all my fav things--romance, fantastical politics, and rich lore. I think another thing that inspired me was Delena (LOL). The amount of times I was writing Lucian and thinking of Damon's facial expressions makes me laugh sometimes. I'm also a sucker for all things John Green, and think that a bit of him may have snuck in here, in some way--even though the genres are so different.
