Two Truths and a Lie by April Henry
4.0

A group of theater kids on their way to a competition have to pull off into a creepy motel due to a worsening snow storm. Soon, another group of teens joins them followed by a few adult stragglers. As the teens set up in the common room to get to know each other, the janitor Travis, reveals that 20 years ago there was a double murder in the motel. As this puts the teens on edge, a few more creepy instances further unsettle them. Is the killer back or is it imaginations running wild?
So I will admit I am picky about YA novels, but this one was sooo fun! The dynamic of the kids together in the common room was so great; of course they all immediately pair off and start flirting with each other, which is truly exactly what would happen. There was a really great twist that I did not see coming, then there was one that I did. I gave 4 stars because I kept getting confused with who all of the adults were, and I felt like they were added as red herrings just to confuse me. Overall, I really like April Henry’s ability to write how teenagers are feeling, I was enthralled and read this book in 2 days.
