As you can tell from the crossed out words I had a hard time getting the title straight because I feel like it misrepresents the book. There is more than one lie in this book so which lie is going to kill you? You is typically referred to as the reader in the writing world. It would have worked if the story was written in the second person, but that could just be me being picky.
My biggest annoyance with this book is there was not a lot of suspense hence the dine and dash. I knew who the killer was the moment I read that character's POV because the character reminded me so much of Judge from Melissa Marr's Made for You spoiler alert: Judge is a killer and a psychopath.
I loved Juniper and Gavin and was shipping them so hard, but I am still confused about this one tiny blip in the relationship if they even have one. I am still unclear about most things in that book.
I only have two criteria for murder mystery books: 1) it must be believable and 2) it has to have me on the edge of my seat and biting my nails to the quick.
Well, I knew who the killer was so there went the murder mystery. It is actually obvious who the killer is and it makes me so sad. The author actually does not do much to dissuade the audience from thinking it could be the other characters because one lives by guilt, one is "dead" before the party fully begins and I will not say much more because all you have to do is read it and you will see what I mean about it.
Also, the summary had me thinking people were going to die so I was waiting for people to die, but only three characters you meet die and two of them are not exactly the main characters.
I will give the author points for Doll Face though because I was totally wrong about that one on all counts, but right at the same time. Like I said it is complicated and you have to read it to understand what I mean.
It is a book I will buy when it comes out, but it is not the greatest murder mystery I have ever read.
