Eva Hansen wakes in the hospital after being struck by lightning and discovers her mother, Kat, has been murdered. Eva was found unconscious down the street. She can’t remember what happened but the police are highly suspicious of her. Determined to clear her name, Eva heads from Seattle to London—Kat’s former home—for answers. But as she unravels her mother’s carefully held secrets, Eva soon realizes that someone doesn’t want her to know the truth. And with violent memories beginning to emerge, Eva doesn’t know who to trust. Least of all herself.
review: Behind Every Lie is told in alternating perspectives between Eva’s search for answers and Kat’s mysterious past. This book kept me on my toes guessing what actually happened that fateful night and the ending wrapped everything up nicely, although a bit predictably. I do think the characters lacked a bit of emotion, given everything that was happening to them, but otherwise it was an enjoyable book. If you’re looking for a twisty, suspenseful book pick up this one soon! rating: 3.5 out of 5 ⭐️
