This Lie Will Kill You by Chelsea Pitcher

5.0

It's downright amazing, and I can't stress that enough.

The plot is fast paced enough that it keeps you on your toes but slow enough that you can keep track of all the developments.
The book often flips back between the present and the stories of the 5 main characters and what happened to them when Shane Ferrik died.

My only problem with the book is that the end of the book seems kind of rushed, which resulted in quite an abrupt end, however this wouldn't put me of recommending it to pretty much anyone.
