This book was good, the beginning was a bit slow but other than that it kept me hooked. There were a lot of twists and turns in this book which I quite enjoyed.

I had high expectations for this book and it surpassed them by miles. I didn’t want to stop reading, it never lost my attention. The plot was amazing, captivating, and only gets better the more you read and the characters are some of the best written I’ve seen in the way that aren’t surface level at all. They’re complex and explored in such an interesting way that goes along with and furthers the plot so nicely. Both the plot and the characters were executed so well I can’t find faults in it. If you’re thinking of reading the book absolutely do, definitely one of my top reads.

This Lie Will Kill You by Chelsea Pitcher sounded like the perfect book for me... Pretty Little Liars meets Riverdale.... 2 of my favourite shows. Unfortunately it just did not live up to this at all for me. It was creepy but totally unrealistic and I really did struggle with it. I was enjoying it in the beginning but it went downhill for me once the kids got to the scary house. I loved the idea of this story but it fell flat for me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster UK Children's for the advanced copy of this book to read. All opinions are my own and are in no way biased
