's review

it was amazing
bookshelves: thriller

This book is full of puppies, kittens, and unicorns. True of false? Well, false of course. Why? Because the FIRST LIE WINS. Here are some truths. I have read a couple of Ashley Elston's YA titles. They were amusing, but nothing compared to her first adult release. This book is a riveting thrill ride. Set aside some time. Once you open up this book you will not want to put it down. Here is one more truth: Evie Porter lives in Lake Forbing, Louisiana in the Present Day parts of the book. That's all I'm going to tell you. Enjoy discovering the rest for yourself.

Thank you to Pamela Dorman Books and NetGalley for a DRC in exchange for an honest review.
