Tereesa Valenzuela,

I finished this book in 24 hours。 The twist made my jaw drop and I had to sit there for a good 3 minutes with my mouth open reflecting on the book。 A MUST READ。

Well, this one sure got me! Never Lie is the perfect example of why I don't like to DNF books。 I truly thought I had this one figured out and was SO sick of one of the main characters that I honestly didn't think I was going to be able to tolerate listening to her anymore (audiobook, of course)。 Happy that I didn't quit because the ending was worth the wait。 I was sick at home today, and laying in bed listening to this book helped me forget how bad I felt and get over the worst of it。 (The narra Well, this one sure got me!

Adriana Nicole,
This book keeps you on your toes the whole time! The twist at the end was not expected。 It definitely was more scary than other books I have read but worth a read!
Kate,
What an amazing story。 I was on the edge of my seat for the entire thing。 The ending。 Wow not at all what I expected。 Thank you for that thrill ride!
Corinne,
thought i knew what the twist was going to be but freida always proves me wrong
Megann Nafus,
The twist at the ending was a little weird, but I liked it overall
Paul Andersen,
excellent Another great read。 Love her books。 Always keeps me guessing until the end。 Can’t wait to read the next one。
Tracey Light,
I was so annoyed thinking I had it all figured out。 But I was way off and it made the book so much better。

I’d give this a 3。5。 Didn’t see that coming at all。 Thought I had it all figured out。

Okay, 3 1/2?

hannah moisao,
i suppose it was okay because i literally read it in one day and i just don’t do that
hamna,
UHHHH 。
Esme,
The book kept me interested throughout the whole thing。 It wasn't the most plausible or well-written book, but it was entertaining and required low focus, which I appreciated。 The book kept me interested throughout the whole thing。 It wasn't the most plausible or well-written book, but it was entertaining and required low focus, which I appreciated。 。。。more
Magdalie Mexile,
The writing style itself was bad and I didn’t really get interested until the second half but I definitely didn’t catch the plot twist so I gave it an extra star
Kailee,
Too many plot holes and repetitive writing。
Sofia,
What a masterpiece! Freida did it again。 This is my third thriller written by her that I’ve read and is at the top of my list。 Just freaking perfect!!!So many plot twists! I honestly thought I figured it out when I was about halfway through it。。 but nope, it ended in a whole other way and it was just so damn good。 In the beginning it really leads you to think the bad guy was the obvious character, when instead it’s so much better that than。Loved the short chapters, loved the characters, loved th What a masterpiece!

Madeline,
4。4 stars。 Wonderful easy read, plot twists were amazing and unexpected
Brianna,
This was not great。 It's quick and easy so that's a positive。 But there are a lot of redundancies and although it didn't shake out the way I predicted, it didn't feel like it made sense。 The characters all pretty much suck。 It doesn't make sense how "strategic" or "highly intelligent" some of them are claimed to be based on their actions and conversations。 I got through it quickly and was willing to wait it out to see if my predictions were correct。 But it's good it wasn't any longer。 This was not great。 It's quick and easy so that's a positive。 But there are a lot of redundancies and although it didn't shake out the way I predicted, it didn't feel like it made sense。 The characters all pretty much suck。 It doesn't make sense how "strategic" or "highly intelligent" some of them are claimed to be based on their actions and conversations。 I got through it quickly and was willing to wait it out to see if my predictions were correct。 But it's good it wasn't any longer。 。。。more
Janelle Lagmay,
This was my second book by Freida McFadden and I realize that I must not be a fan of her/her writing style。 I really wanted to give her a second chance since her books are so highly rated, but I just don’t understand the hype。 The twist was “meh”, I don’t think it really added anything to the storyline and I don’t really find her characters likeable。 The book was easy to read, but I just don’t think Freida McFadden is for me。
