The Secrets of Lily Graves starting on the 13th January 2015

[Amy]

With the intrigue of Pretty Little Liars and plenty of romance, bestselling author Sarah Strohmeyer weaves a story of secrets and lies—set in a funeral parlor.

Growing up in a house of female morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn’t what she seems. She knows why Erin’s ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them—something Erin definitely did not like.

But secrets, even ones that are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.

So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily's and Matt’s safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam, begin to unravel. And their relationship—which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous—makes them both suspects.

As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.

Up to chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ I don't like the way they talk to Lily. Just because she wears black and her family are funeral directors doesn't make her a freak. Besides, if Matt is friends with her then they should at least try to be nice. (hide spoiler)] Promising start.

End of 3 (view spoiler)[ I don't think that Matt killed Erin. It was someone else. (hide spoiler)]

End of 6 (view spoiler)[ interesting. So that's how Matt and her became friends. She helped him with school and he taught her how to drive. (hide spoiler)]

End of 7 (view spoiler)[ yikes. That turned fast. I knew the other kids would think it's her fault but those girls are cruel.

At least Matt cares. (hide spoiler)]

End of 8 (view spoiler)[ these are the worst cops! They are pretty much saying she killed Erin. That's not how cops work. (hide spoiler)]

End of Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Oh dear, I have this bad feeling that Matt befriended Lily to make up this façade. He stole her necklace to put at the crime scene, he knew she would get blamed because her family knows how to cut people up. Or maybe it wasn't Matt, maybe Erin convinced him to do it. Ugh, what is happening. (hide spoiler)]

End of 14 (view spoiler)[ I think it was Sara who called the cops since she does not like Matt.

And I think Mr. Bone was with Zabriskie that night. (hide spoiler)]

End of 16 (view spoiler)[ I don't like Bob. I have a feeling he had a part in this. He switches way to fast in naming her as a suspect. These cops are not the best at their job. (hide spoiler)]

End of 18 (view spoiler)[ go Matt!! Hit the guy!! (hide spoiler)]

Done (view spoiler)[ wow turn of events. I knew Sara was bad but I did not see that happening. Yikes. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Finished! (view spoiler)[ Wow, the end went by really fast! I didn't see any of it coming although I did think it was weird that Sara was being shipped off to India so soon after Erin's death. I didn't suspect that there would be such a shocking ending. (hide spoiler)]
