Cate Holahan easily created a thrilling book that begged not to be put down. She created two separate stories being told on alternating tracks but still find their way to connecting to one another in a way you don’t see coming. She definitely took the idea of putting some interesting twists into her plot seriously so you will walk away with this on your mind for a while. It’s one of those you won’t want to put down as your skin will be crawling with the “heebie-jeebies” and you’ll be jumping at the sound of silence thanks to her sanity bending story line. It was such a compelling and psychologically twisted book, the kind that burrows into your brain to give you weird dreams only an episode of The Popples on Netflix will cure so your mind can calm down and return to simpler, more peaceful times.

If you go in knowing that you will be presented with separate stories being told by separate voices it should help keep things clear until the rollercoaster starts throwing you around one bend after another.

I love books that screw with your mental focus especially in a suspenseful and thrilling way.

Fast paced suspense with many twists. The characters are developed and the plot is ambitious. Lies She Told is executed perfectly.

Ahhhhhh! This was so fantastic! I was on the edge of my seat, and started to dislike my real life friends that would call and interrupt my time with this book. Tremendous story that had me guessing and full of questions until the end. Five stars!

ARC provided by Net Galley and Crooked Lane Books in exchange for an honest review. Thank you! This was a really great read...initially you have to pay attention, because the narrator and focus switches back and forth between the character in the novel being written by the main character, and the main character's voice. There are so many twists and turns, and then when I thought we had all the answers...yet another twist. I highly recommend this book...

An excellent psychological thriller with many twists and turns. I loved the back and forth between Liza and the character Beth in her novel. It was interesting to see how their lives intertwined and the similarities between the two.

A five star winner from this author. Superb plot, kept me gripped from start to finish. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

This book is a serious mind f&%* that you won’t soon forget
