First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

4.0

While it didn’t blow me outta the water I had a lot of fun reading it. I was hoping for higher stakes, maybe more heart pumping moments and I feel like even though the beginning was slower it led to some reveals that really got me. I didn’t know anything going in. I haven’t even looked at the synopsis on the dust jacket, so I don’t know how much is revealed, but just know that the story is multi-layered, not to take everyone at face value and the timeline flashes back to other jobs Evie has worked to show the evolution of where she is now. There are some unrealistic moments for sure, but if you just go along for the ride you’ll have a good time. Which is what I did.
