I seriously didn't think this series could get any better than this! This book was filled with suspense throughout, a book I simply could not put down. As Emma continues to unravel the mystery that led to her sisters death, she eliminates each person by one until she is certain who the people she can trust in her life are. Her killer is watching her every move, if Emma makes one move that does not go by the 'game', she will be next! But how can you truly leave things buried when it involves maki ...more

In the excitement for the next book in the Lying Game series, I decided to re-read this book. Someone pretending to be someone else is pretty much a plot devise that makes me want to buy a book. During the last year, I read many other books with this type of plot turner. But this is for sure the best! I will read any books that contains this plot turner because I always love discovering how the characters in these books try to act like someone else. I lov http://unforgetablebooks.blogspot.com...

During the last year, I read many other books with this type of plot turner. But this is for sure the best! I will read any books that contains this plot turner because I always love discovering how the characters in these books try to act like someone else. I love reading their funny mistakes and struggling with them to discover who they are playing really is in this type of plot.

Emma and Sutton are dimensional and intriguing characters. Emma is so lovable, funny and creative. What she accomplishes in this book is amazing. I highly doubt I would be able to pretend to be someone else as well as she. She is very caring and smart. I love how much Sutton has changed since she was alive and how well she is learning.

At first, the narrative style of this novel was confusing, but after reading two books I am starting to get use to it. This book is in the first person point of view of the dead girl, Sutton, and the third person view of Emma. Sara Shepard is a fabulous writer. She obviously has been writing for years because her writing is intelligent and cohesive. I love how each chapter only shows the important events and skips through gratuitous chatter. This book is a page turner that I enjoy because the story is constantly changing while new mysterious are unearthed and old ones are solved. I can't wait to find out what really happened between Thayer and Sutton before he ran away.

There is only one reason why this book is not perfect. The side characters are pretty flat. Madeline, Charlotte and the Twitter Twins do have intriguing and influential back stories but have no personality besides fitting stereotypes so far. Hopefully that will change in the next few books.

Overall, I am excited for the next book, Two Truths and A Lie, coming out on Tuesday. I can't wait to find out more about Sutton's and Thayer's history. ...more

Very impressed with the sequel. Same characters we come to love from the first... with some new characters introduced too. The story is a lot more enjoyable. And best of all... i did not find myself dragging through bits in the book as i did from the first...! Massive improvement. 4/5
