This Lie Will Kill You

Product Information

It was fun, I enjoyed the premise a lot but it ended up being super predictable and a lot of the characters were just awful people lmao.

Also Ruby’s first interactions with her love interests were shown via flashback and they were some of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen with my own eyes. Looking at past reviews, I can see that I'm a rarity for enjoying this book, each reader to their own, but I thought the prose was engaging and mysterious, sucking me in to the dark void where five teenagers need to face the consequences of their past. And even with weaker characters, books can still be a good read provided a strong storyline makes up for it. There are holes in the characters' stories and while the timeline moves forward at the right pacing it doesn't have nearly the suspense and surprise one would expect. The concept of a group of teens being invited to a Murder Mystery Dinner Theater type event was a great idea but the execution was just not there.Then a mysterious letter arrives, inviting Juniper to a murder-mystery dinner along with a group of her classmates. I was left with the feeling that the author/publisher should just have held this one back for a little longer and worked out the finer points and they could have had an enjoyable murder mystery book on their hands.

He’s just the guy that doesn’t fit in so naturally at this type of gathering there has to be someone in the group that isn’t really part of the group.About halfway through the book it’s easy to see she had at least something to do with them all being at the house together, so I imagined everyone else who has read it would think the same. He shares the video to everyone at their school, feeding the rumour that Shane had forced himself on Ruby. That was all it took to get them together in a creepy house where a murder/death takes place and everyone had a specific role to play as a participant.

But he’s also jealous and controlling, and obsessed with Ruby, even though she doesn’t want him as a boyfriend again. His father was once a professional boxer, but now his hopes for a bright future have faded and it’s down to Brett to succeed where his father failed. The fear is palpable, and the surprise is real as readers gradually unravel the tangled web of lies. out of 5 stars because I thought the start was a bit slow, but would still recommend this to fans of 'One of us is Lying'. Teenagers really should learn to trust their instincts when given a ticket to a mysterious house and the only other people invited are linked to the murder of a boy.The characters are brought in under the premise of winning a college scholarship and each one has need for that money for their future, but our host wants answers and everyone has a secret that could unravel their entire world.

I allowed myself to be pulled into the murder mystery evening and enjoyed the various ideas Chelsea Pitcher borrowed from similar movies, television shows, and games. Her fingers danced over advertisements, brushing the edges of a coupon packet, and then she was pulling the envelope out of the darkness. The universe was speaking to Juniper directly, lighting a fire in her veins and making her heartbeat thrum.The constant switching between characters was a complete miss for me because I guessed who the culprit was very early on and that just ruined all the fun. Another instance is when they see a porcelain doll and go on and on and on saying how it looked human and they could almost see it moving and it gave them such a feeling as going back in time and getting lost and OMG PLEASE it really was so anticlimactic and made the whole book, which was supposed to be eerie, very boring.
