I thought I was a smart ass & had figured everything out, wrong!! Really good twist and turns that kept me engaged. The last paragraph bugged me a little, turns out Trisha has no loyalty to anyone, i hated to think of her as a mother. It also made me think, how you never really know who you’re dating/marrying. Everyone has a past & secrets they keep to themselves, just like, everyone has two sides to themselves.

Overall, quick, easy and a fast paced read. I can see why Freida McFadden has become such a popular author, this is the second book of hers I’ve read. Both have left a strong impression on me. Great for book club choices.

I have never read a book that gave me so many trust issues.

As the first Frieda McFadden book that I’ve ever read, I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into for.

I spent the first 150 pages strongly disliking the fmc. It bugged me to high heaven that she hadn’t figured out that EJ was her husband, and I purely did not understand how she hadn’t run for the hills when she heard everything happening in this deserted house she had found herself in.

I strongly disliked her husband for deceiving her and putting her through hell, not to mention very quickly using and abusing the facilities in the house of a suspected dead woman. Like, are you crazy?!

I had heard that McFadden was known for her plot twists. I had conjured up the storyline and how I thought the plot twists would go.

I was certain of 3 things: 1. Dr Adrienne Hale was either alive in the house/in hiding. 2. If she wasn’t alive, Ethan had killed her. 3. Tricia (fmc) was the dumbest, most naive girl I had ever read.

Frieda McFadden’s plot twists made me sit straighter, place the book down and stare into a space in front of me. I had to take a break to process the twist.

The fact that all three of the things I was certain of, were all completely wrong, proves how much I enjoyed this book.

The final 150 or so pages I sat in disbelief and shock and placing the book down after I had finished actually gave me a satisfied feeling.

Incredible writing. I was unable to put the book down and found myself thinking about the storyline went I wasn’t reading.

4⭐️ and a new author obsession. The first Freida McFadden book I have read, but definitely not the last.

After “The Housemaid”, “Never Lie”. I gave it a couple of chances, but the axe fell: Freida McFadden is not for me.

I rather enjoyed the first part; I was expecting a straightforward thriller with a bit of subtlety. Halfway through, I realize that this is probably not going to be the case. Well, I managed to be surprised by the ending, which was even more distressing than I'd expected!

Goodbye Freida!
