Juniper started to laugh. It was the cold, brittle kind of laughter, like twigs snapping underfoot. Of course Ruby hadn’t submitted her for the scholarship. Of course Ruby wasn’t looking out for her from behind the scenes. Their friendship was over. It had been over for a long time.

Niamh is a great character, brave and feisty and determined to solve the horrific mystery she has become embroiled in. The other characters in the book are all well written and the author makes the reader distrust each of them so that we do not know until the end of the book who is truly on Niamh's side. I especially liked Jess, who becomes a real ally to Niamh. The ending of the book is a tour-de force of horror, with open coffins, bundles of bones and Niamh in deadly danger from a vengeful ghost. I didn’t submit you, Ruby wrote, but I’m going to the party. Maybe we can solve the mystery together? Your review is hilarious! I just finished reading it and just hated the characters especially Parker. Junebug, she’s my kid.” Her mother disappeared into the hallway, and Juniper followed close behind, plotting to retrieve the invitation. “Believe it or not, I like spending time with my kids.” From the perspectives shared in this book I think the one that remained of the most interest to me was Ruby Valentine bad I looked forward to the sections from her perspective.This was good. This is the kind of book I would love to see Netflix adapt into a series. It's enigmatic, thrilling, enjoyable and detailed. I knew nothing about this other than it was a murder mystery that promised to have great twists and turns Well, I’m still waiting for all of that to happen because they sure were not in this book. Five teens are invited to a murder-mystery evening at an old house. The prize for the one who solves the puzzle is a valuable scholarship. They all want it, but none of them expects to have to contend with the mysterious Ringmaster. I can’t even properly put my finger on what exactly I disliked about this! The storyline was basically all over the place, I couldn’t care less about any of the characters, everything felt so unbelievably unrealistic, it was totally obvious who the bad guy was, the writing at the start was beautiful and lyrical but went downhill pretty fast...

Post moderation is undertaken full-time 9am-6pm on weekdays, and on a part-time basis outwith those hours. 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. 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.

Sometimes teachers submit you. Guidance counselors. You’re such a good student, and you were going to be valedictorian.” A special mention should go to Gavin, who was there for exactly zero (0) reason. Maybe he just had to provide some diversity in the form of a walking East Asian stereotype, but we could have done without.

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. Everyone keeps comparing this to the infamous I Know What You Did Last Summer movie but this read more like a really bad generic C-list movie rip off of. Last One to Die is suspenseful from the very beginning, because Niamh knows that she’s in danger. She just doesn’t know what/who the danger is. Trusting people is hard and so is making new friends again. And as the book goes on, the intensity increases and the stakes get higher.

Format

This Lie Will Kill You reminded me of Pretty Little Liars, Scream, and I Know What You Did Last Summer. If I were to be honest, it felt like I was reading a screenplay or a story written for the screen instead of a book. Well, I read this as an audiobook, so it actually served a similar purpose.

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. Part high school drama, part suspense, the fast pace will keep readers on edge from start to finish.Pretty Little Lairs و Riverdale افتادم. قصه دقیقا در همون سبک و سیاق روایت می شه. روابط احساسی ضربدری بین یسری همکلاسی. تنفر و عشق. رفاقت و دشمنی. و یسری خاله زنک بازی و انتقام گیری و لج و لجبازی که بین بچه های مدرسه می تونه پیش بیاد و رفته رفته، به چیزی بزرگتر تبدیل بشه. به یک قتل!
