This is a book that is hard to put down once you’ve started reading it. I was drawn into the story from the first chapter.
The story focuses on how harmful lies can be and how one lie will lead to another one. This focus really grabbed my attention. It made me think. The author illustrated how a lie can have lasting effects on people. We think that if we hide something it will not be found out but it will.
The book is a standalone novel but it would be best to read the first two books in the series first.
5 out 5 stars.
