Much like Riverdale, the story is exaggerated in a way that makes some parts completely unrealistic, but that doesn’t bother me as it is a fiction book. All the more reason to go,” her mother said, swooping in with the old, chipped coffeepot. “Just think about it, okay? It wouldn’t kill you to go to a party.” Now the plot. The start was alright, and it was intriguing enough to keep me reading. But towards the middle of the book, the story started to drag, and almost left the book as a DNF. I feel that the author really needed to add more layered or suspicious characters to her story, because the introduction and consequent arrest of Will was too strongly a red herring. Because of the intense suspicion thrown onto his character and the obvious dislike all the characters hold for him, I automatically dismissed him as the killer. And honestly, his sudden support and protectiveness for Niamh seemed to come out of nowhere. It was never explained why he felt it necessary to go to her apartment, or get so involved with chasing after Tommy. Him and Jess were never really shown as close in any way, so it also didn't make much sense for them all to be suddenly be working together. . All in all, with the exception of the magic appearance of the little sister in the end, I really enjoyed this book. It was creepy and spooky and unputdownable. I would recommend it and I look forward to the author’s next book, because this is my second book by her that I rate this high. This Lie Will Kill You is a fiction mystery thriller where 5 teens are lured to a mansion with the promise of winning a scholarship.Part high school drama, part suspense, the fast pace will keep readers on edge from start to finish. If magic is thrown into a story, it has to either be a defining role or weaved well into the world-building so that there is a sense of believability of its place in the mystery. Otherwise, the resolution just feels lazy and unfinished. A brilliant mix of YA and the supernatural, seamlessly weaved together to create a fast paced story that will have you thinking OMG more than once. I am sorry but I don’t think this was really publishable. The publisher probably saw how other YA mysteries such as One of Us is Lying were selling well and thought they should jump in on this trend, but they could only get their hands on a Wattpad fanfiction. There was so much wrong with it that I don’t know where to start. You were right, it is on Saturday,” Mrs. Torres said. Her voice was breathy, and Juniper hated the thought of disappointing her. “They must’ve had a last-minute opening—”

My name is THE INVISIBLE MAN. 2. I am secretly in love with THE UNDERWATER ACROBAT. 3. My weapon is a CAMERA because I WILL EXPOSE EACH ONE OF YOU. 4. My greatest secret is I WOULD KILL TO BE POPULAR.” The author wanted me to believe that a this group of highly intelligent whip-smart teens fell for weak lies and a flimsy promise of scholarship money if they attend this event. 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. Could one of them be the murderer? It was obvious the author tired way too hard to make this a complex who-dun-it but it was not complex, it was just confusing. Everything was over-complicated to the point of being uninteresting. I often zoned out and my thoughts drifted to what else I could be reading instead of this weak attempt at a thriller.The winners of The Farshore Reading for Pleasure Teacher Awards 2023, highlighting the work schools are doing to encourage a love of reading, have... Given the type of novel that “This Lie Will Kill You” is, if the writing were its only issue it could pass with a 2.5/5 star review for me. A solid “meh”. It’s fine. It served its purpose. Unfortunately, the rest of the book is kind of a mess as well. Lexile ® HL690L The Lexile reading levels have been certified by the Lexile developer, MetaMetrics® At other times, the voice sounded as though the teenagers themselves were narrating - we followed their thoughts, and there were expletives used as modifiers. An example is the insertion of the phrase 'nope, that wouldn't do' into the narration, which is vastly different in tone from the lyrical, poetic prologue.

Except this book is neither of those things. Even if you stripped “Clue” of it’s brilliant mystery and memorable characters, “This Lie Will Kill You” wouldn’t even come close. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots. Now the humans need his... He was so bad he could be easily put in jail if Ruby had just gone to the police. But I think this is a parallel world where the police is not an actual institution, because there is no way they would not know he was the one who killed the dead guy.One of Us is Lying meets This Lie Will Kill You but with a chilling supernatural twist that will keep you guessing until the very end . . . I miss her too. Juniper’s vision blurred as she thought of Ruby’s smile, Ruby’s laugh, Ruby’s touch. She pushed off from the table, her chair screeching behind her. Too bad she doesn’t miss me. Disclosure: This book was provided to me by Edelweiss free of charge in return for an honest and unbiased review. This book is scheduled to be released on December 11, 2018 by Margaret K. McElderry Books.

This is the start of a story that will keep you guessing. I really loved the writing style. It flowed easily for me. Characters were believable and I grew to care about what happened to them. She raced from her room. Down the hallway she went, past her baby sister’s nursery, and the bedroom where her parents slept, their limbs entwined like the branches of neighboring trees. Soon the family would wake, and she wouldn’t be able to scour the mailbox in secret. But if she was very quiet (avoiding this floorboard, and that creaky step), she could slip outside without anyone noticing. The writing was very bad. But just the second half, because it was filled with the ugliest, most absurd and incomprehensible metaphors, which I swear made me want to carve my eyes out and smash my Kindle. I know.” Juniper glanced at his empty chair. After fifteen years of teaching music at Fallen Oaks Elementary, a recent round of budget cuts had left Mr. Torres jobless. Now Juniper could hear him milling around upstairs, choosing the perfect tie for another set of dehumanizing interviews.I hated how he was portrayed as bad. Very bad. Take the worst guy in the world, Parker was worse than that. He was almost a rapist, was obsessive and violent, jealous. A good villain often has some redeeming qualities that make it not so easy to hate him, you have to kind of understand his reasoning, and usually his cruel steak is subtle, and not so in your face.
