Perfect Lies was all-in-all a pretty good book. I liked it more than the first book, Mind Games, so I'm glad I decided to continue the series. I really enjoyed the last bit of the story; it was completely captivating. Especially considering what Annie saw and it had me wanting to know how it was all going to go down. Kiersten White provided a great transition from Mind Games. She didn't overload the reader with information so that you feel like you are re-reading the first book, which seems to be much too common with sequels. Just enough information was provided to spark the memories.
Like the first book, Perfect Lies is told in non-linear fashion. There is no present time in this novel, which I found kind of odd. I'm not sure exactly why that was. I mean, I kind of get it, because it's all leading up to something. And I get why Annie's chapters are the way they are, because she's in the past and seeing things that will happen in the future. But, why weren't Fia's chapters in the present? They definitely could have been. I don't know. It was a bit odd, but I guess it doesn't really matter. It still made sense. There was no present time, just before and after a certain event.
I found that I liked Annie a lot better in this one. I didn't really care for her in Mind Games. But, something was different with her character in this one. She seemed more likable or something. I also liked Annie's relationship. It was way more believable and much easier to get into than Fia and James. I DO NOT like James! And I think Fia is stupid for loving him. She's supposed to have perfect instincts but she chooses to love that jerk? I don't get it.
