I love the Lying Game series and was eagerly awaiting this book. I like how the story unfolds here and we get to see even further into Sutton's memories. Although I'd wish the next books brings even more answers and flashbacks. What I really like is how dimensional all these characters are, specially Thayer. This is by far my favorite Lying Game book till now. However, in this book I feel there was something really off about Ethan. I know how it's being shown towards the end that Laurel might've

Emma is still trying to figure out who killed her twin sister, Sutton. It's also getting increasingly difficult to continue to pretend to be Sutton, especially without anyone figuring out what's going on. But if she doesn't do a good job of being Sutton, she knows she's going to be the next to die. So who's behind it? She's already pretty sure it's not Sutton's sister, Laurel, or one of their friends. The current suspect is Madeline's brother, Thayer. He's been missing for a while and it t

How does this book have such a high average rating? Who the hell is reviewing these things? This wasn't even good in a "this is such a guilty pleasure" sort of way. The action was totally contrived; it wasn't exciting at all; compared to the show, the characters just fall so flat. It's ridiculous. Sara Shepard is obviously running out of exciting plot twists, judging by the way this series is going, as well as the latest Pretty Little Liars offering.

For my theories about this book, check out: http://unforgetablebooks.blogspot.com/
I did not enjoy this book as much as the second one, Never Have I Ever, but I still enjoyed it. This book seemed to repeat many of the events from the second book just with a different story. The date that Emma have in the middle of the book seems similar to the photography date from the second book. In the second book Emma struggles with deciding to date Ethan or not and in this book decides if she wan More...

As I noted previously, it is difficult to review books in a series and come up with something new to say if the books continue to be similar to one another in quality and content. That said, I read this book even faster than the last two, and it's probably my favorite so far.
Matters are becoming increasingly more complicated and confusing for both Emma and her deceased twin Sutton. All the light shed on alibis and motives has really come to amount More...

What I Liked: 1) I like how we are seeing everything from Sutton's perspective. She's this ghost who is traveling alongside Emma, who is living Sutton's life. So many times Sutton will remember something that would help Emma out as she's trying to pass herself off as Sutton and find her killer, and I'm just like, ah! Just tell her. And I have to remind myself that Sutton is a ghost. 2) I love how all of the books are named after games. The Lying Game, Never Have I Ever, Two Truths and A Lie...an

As much as I adore Sara Shepard, it saddens me to say that it seems she has too much on her plate lately and it shows in her books. Her last two books in the PLL series were OKish but Two Truths And A Lie was boring in my opinion, even though it was an one-sitting read for me.
Nothing really interesting happens in TTAAL. Apart from Sutton's memories (2 chapters), everything else was about Emma's new life as Sutton and how she's adjusting. How she gets along with Ethan while trying to More...

I should have known the killer is never who you think it is. Actually the last book said Thayer was back and this book spent most of the book making you think Thayer did it which is why I was not shocked to find out it was not him.
My thoughts at this point is obviously Laurel but that is also expected so I don't think it can be her. Ethan however seems a little guilty to me! He left when Thayer showed up and did many things in the book that makes me think that. They played A Lying Gam More...

ugh, this story is really putting me on edge. i couldn't put it away for one second. one moment i was so sure who sutton's murderer was then something new came up and i was back to square one again. Can't wait for the next book, i really wanna know what's the reason behind Mr. Mercer's huge dislike towards Thayer. And something is really off about Ethan too. Its like he's hiding something and he's acting really weird when he saw Thayer and just walked away.

i ABSOLUTELY love the lying game series.. though i cannot find this one online free or in any public libraries... or in my local walmart... i guess ill just have to check the bookstore when i get another paycheck.... GAH!! Cant wait for the next episode either even though its hardly anything like the book.... but i still love it(: CANT wait to read this book and the other newer one

I had this book on preorder forever and finished it in less than two days. I was impressed, but I'm a little disappointed that the next book won't be out until the end of July. They space the book releases out just enough that specific details can get foggy or mixed with the details of the TV series. Excellent series, if not for the poorly timed release dates.

OMGGGGGG!!!! This is like seriously the best book series ever!! I had my doubts about Thayer in the beggining, but I ended up loving him at the end of the book. Laurel was so mean in the book and oh my she might be Sutton's killer, I don't think so though, because I still have my suspesions about Mad's and Thayer's dad, Mr. Vega. Really can't wait until Hide and Seek!!

- - - -I didn't like the 3rd book of the Lying Game series at all :( What a disappointment! I thought that Thayer's story was boring, the one prank that was played was lame, and the word 'trilled' was used one too many times whenever one of the girls said something. I hated the ending, and I don't think the person they mention in the epilogue is the killer (hadn't Emma ruled this person out before??). Eh, not so sure the 4th one is going to be good either.

I really loved the first book, i then decided to push through the second book even though i found it slightly boring. this third book for me was a bunch of waffle that got you no where in the plot. It is just a way to stretch out the books to make more money, the book had no substance what so ever.

OHMY! I absolutely loved The Lying Game and Never Have I Ever. I don't know but I noticed that this series is just like Pretty Little Liars. Someone was killed, Suspects, Secrets and stuffs...
So far I liked what I read so I'd like to watch this series (if it even becomes one (; )....

This book is really good but the way it just cut off after revealing that *insert character name* was not the murderer was really irritating. I have suspected Ethan since the start, and am starting to feel a little more confident that he knows something about the murder...

Did someone say Thayer Vega? THAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYERTHAYER...oooooooooo. </hormone-induced-teenage-girl-outburst> (I have a long history with Shepard boys). Some of you may be right up the front of the cheer squad, screaming, "Thayer!" while others may be recoiling in the bleachers, wondering, "Thayer?" I support both sides. See, I imagine book Thayer to look a lot different than TV Thayer (no offense, Christian Alexander. You're cute and

I did really enjoy this book, but I did feel that perhaps the series should have been wound up at the end of this book. I worry that the author is dragging it out a bit too long and that it might lose its edge. Of course, I'll be more than pleased to be proved wrong, because books 2 & 3 especially were really gripping and I'd love book 4 to be as good, or preferably better! :)

OH.MY.GOSH. I couldn't put it down (well except when I had to). I had it read in just about twenty four hours making it almost a record me! I know one thing, I still haven't got the killer figured out yet, but I know one thing, I think I may have it all wrong. It normally happens that way and I can't wait for some more clues when Hide and Seek comes out this summer!

This book was also good. I mean i really liked how emma and ethan finally hooked up. the prank at the end was freaking scary and the whole train thing was scary too, and i just wonder how sutton could think that was funny...

(Official rating: 4.5 stars)
Wow, shocking sequel!! It was thrilling! Definitely a lot of suspense, mystery, and bone-chilling moments! I was kept on my toes the whole time; it was that good! I love how the author can make you change your suspects with just a couple of words. I had about 5 top suspects throughout the book!
The romance developed more than the last two books which is good! Emma and Ethan are so adorable together.

So I will say it's definitely not my favorite book of the series so far, but it still kept me on my toes and still kept me reading wondering what was going to happen next and wanting more when the book ended. I don't like how they're thinking someone they already ruled out as the killer, is again the killer. I do think there's a lot of secrets between Sutton and this person, and I do think this person may know or think they know something.. but as the killer? No. And this whole Thayer thing has

You can always count on a Sara Shepard series book when you need to read, but have not a brain cell to spare.

Good sequel, lots of plot twists and turns. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait for Hide and Seek!
Feb 08, 2012
This was better than the last one, but just as frustrating! All it does is make me wonder who killed Sutton. At first I did think it was Thayer, but I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. And now I'm thinking Mr. Mercer (for some odd reason) or Mr. Vega. But there is no indication to tell me that;s who it is, just a feeling that I have. The book did not really give anything new, just crossed of some people and revisted some old suspects WHICH WE ALREADY KNOW DID NOT KILL SUTTON!!! This book just left me fr
