Lie to Me

J.T. Ellison

3.62 AVERAGE


This was an fast/easy book to read. Had a Gone Girl vibe. There were a few too many "reveals" for me, making the story less believable.

The book was told from three PoV and it’s not specified which one you are reading. In general, I enjoyed the characters and storyline. It was a little predictable at times and got a little boring and seemed to drag some. The ending was very odd and I’m not sure why it was added in at all.

Surprisingly entertaining if not a little far fetched.

Loved the twist of this book. I felt that some of it did lead me down a road to throw the reader off course a couple of times, but overall I loved the ending and how it surprised me. I had a sense of hope throughout the entire book without realizing it until the end.

This was a fun thriller! I feel like the plot was fun and flowed well without any real holes, the characters grew in personality in a way that you felt you were growing with them, all the side characters had a big enough story line you didn’t feel like you were overwhelmed by nobodies, the twists were random enough to shock you, and it was a quick read! I loved the Paris aspect and the descriptors used, made me feel like we were actually there while she was. While I kind of figured out the villain, I would have never guessed the potential reason for the villainy. I will definitely be checking out more by this author!
