Today I’m delighted to share with you my review for Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager. Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me and providing me with my review copy of the book.

About this book…

Have you ever played two truths and a lie?

It was Emma’s first summer away from home. She made friends. She played games. And she learned how to lie.

Then three of her new friends went into the woods and never returned. . .

Now, years later, Emma has been asked to go back to the newly re-opened Camp Nightingale. She thinks she’s laying old ghosts to rest but really she’s returning to the scene of a crime.

Because Emma’s innocence might be the biggest lie of all. . .

My review…

I adored The Final Girls by Riley Sager so was absolutely thrilled to get an ARC of Last Time I…

The Party by Lisa Hall @HQDigitalUK @LisaHallAuthor

Sarah Hardy's avatarbytheletterbookreviews

513NBv9OBTLBook Description:

It was just a party. But it turned into a nightmare.

When Rachel wakes up in a strange room, the morning after a neighbour’s party, she has no memory of what happened the night before. Why did her husband leave her alone at the party? Did they row? Why are Rachel’s arms so bruised? And why are her neighbours and friends so vague about what really happened?

Little by little, Rachel pieces together the devastating events that took place in a friend’s house, at a party where she should have been safe. Everyone remembers what happened that night differently, and everyone has something to hide. But someone knows the truth about what happened to Rachel. And she’s determined to find them.

The Party is the gripping new novel from bestseller Lisa Hall.

My Thoughts:

The Party is the authors third book and another dark and gripping read.

Rachel…

Who Lives Here? – Guest Post by Emily Gmitter…

Who Lives Here?

Image from Pixabay, Title: Broken

Who lives here? Everywhere I look, I see boxes. Boxes piled one on the other, against every wall. Boxes delivered but never opened. Things bought but never used. Magazines and mail, unopened, sit in unsteady piles on the coffee table, alongside odds and ends that also did not belong there, but which had no choice but to make that table their home. On every chair sit empty food containers and soda cans … guests who have long since outworn their welcome. 

Who lives here? I wondered, as my teary eyes took in the disarray, as my feet wandered cautiously through the cluttered rooms. Pain ripped my heart. I thought I knew who lived here. I did know the name. I even knew the face. But I didn’t know … this.

Her home is full of things old and new…

Is Your Book on the Taste Test Table?

christineplouvier's avatarIRISH FIREBRANDS: A Novel ~ and Other Works by Christine Plouvier, Indie Author

Some Indie Authors believe that readers’ ability to borrow books from public libraries reduces writers’ income, but there is really nothing to fear: Libraries do like to have book donations to stretch their budgets, but they will also buyIndie-authored books, especially from local writers. Also, if you’ve written a great story that a library patron enjoyed, that reader’s satisfaction can be the spur for later sales. Finally, be sure to register your copyright for your works of written art: CIP information provided by institutions like the British Library or the Library of Congress for registered works makes local librarians’ jobs easier when it comes to shelving your books (and it benefits booksellers, too, which can help get your works into their shops).
