A little bit of a slow burner but I enjoyed it. I loved the summer camp setting. I thought the story was all wrapped up but the final pages surprised me!

I was instantly drawn to idea of an adult returning to her summer camp after something terrible had happened there when we was young. The book started off slower for me, but I loved the back and forth between the past and present. I also enjoyed slowly getting to find out what happened instead of it all coming out at once. I got really worried that this thriller would end up the same way as so many but it completed surprised me. One of the twists I did see coming, but wow that final twist I never would have guessed!

I really loved the ending and thought it wrapped up everything nicely, although I still have one question (that I won't share as it is a spoiler). I liked the relationships and distrust between the adults at camp, it really made the story more dynamic and keep me guessing who really was to blame. The 3 new campers in Emma's cabin were fantastic, and very believable as young girls who looked up to their older counselor.

I defiantly need to go back and read Sager's first book and I can't wait for more from him.

Thank you to Netgalley, Dutton publishing, and Riley Sager for my copy.

The start of the book was slow and flipped from past to present a lot, to me that is distracting. But the middle of the book quickly grabbed my attention and the ending was a complete surprise. I love a book that keeps you guessing till the end and then you are completely wrong about who did it

What a tre,me Foy’s read, and what a sensational twist at the end. I was a huge fan of The Final Girls, but I just say, this book is much more so,I’d and astute. The psychology is bang on and the characters live and breathe. Really marvelous, and I thrilled to hand sell for sure.

I have mixed feelings about this book. The first part was to slow and drawn out., switching back and forth from past to present was a little confusing. Then the story picked up and was really good and I didn't want to put it down. The end I felt was rushed and choppy. All the questions were answered but it seemed like the author just wanted to get it over and done with.

Amazing, but will leave a much better review near deadline, in a large group and if possible change here as well. Highly, highly recommend!

Review: THE LAST TIME I LIED by Riley Sager

I leaped to read this psychological suspense novel because I had loved Riley Sager' s first pseudonymous novel, FINAL GIRLS. This one started a little slow for me, and I never really warmed up to the protagonist, whom I considered whiny and far too self-absorbed. However, it wasn't too long before I became engrossed in the story, and I thought both the denouement and the penultimate conclusion made the wait worth while. Then the final conclusion! Let me just add, this plot line is seriously twisty. Like the X-Files mantra, "Trust No One" is the order of the day here.
