So by now, you have likely had the chance to read the synopsis of the book, and even better, may have already read the book. Immediately my response for the book, upon finishing it, I was blown away, and couldn’t even write my review as soon as I had finished. I was speechless, and I then uttered a few curse words because Sager has written yet another bloody brilliant book.

In FINAL GIRLS, Sager blew us out of the water with a thriller that focused mainly on two girls, and the very concept that they were the final girls left from slasher killings (even without the book revolving around the killings themselves) was enough to get into the readers psyche and make us terrified. In THE LAST TIME I LIED, he manages yet again to take the reader to a very vulnerable place, alongside the main character Emma, this time back to when she was a teenager, self-conscious and needing to be accepted, but how could it be worse than back then? Going back to the same camp as an adult where your friends went missing and you were accused of being responsible for it, that’s how. But Emma is going to figure out what really happened at Camp Nightingale all those years ago (Jason Voorhes had nothing to do with it).
The book is absolute brilliance, in terms of pacing, use of different timelines (and we see this as a writing device a lot, but not always done well), depth of characters, and ultimately, the story has the best plot twist I could (never) have imagined. One of my best (sorry, Sir Sager) compliments is that I could swear Riley is a female author because he writes female voices so well. I don't know how he does it. But I know he will do it again when he writes another book!

The Last Time I Lied A Novel edition by Riley Sager Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I thought the book had promise at first, but the story line was ill conceived, with a very contrived plot, and an ending so ridiculous all I could think about was the few hours I wasted reading this book! There are so many good mystery stories out there, so I will choose more carefully the next time I want to read one.
Om-GEEEE. If there’s a perfect ending to any book, “Riley Sager” wrote it when he penned the final pages of The Last Time I Lied. On the heels of enjoying Final Girls, I worried that a second Sager novel might not live up to my high expectations. I am glad to say I was so wrong. The Last Time I Lied occupies a lofty place among my absolute favorite novels Megan Miranda’s All the Missing Girls and Mindy Mejia’s Everything You Want Me to Be to name the top two.

Fifteen years ago, Emma attended the prestigious Camp Nightingale, a summer camp for privileged children. Younger than her bunkmates and immature by comparison, Emma ingratiated herself to the “group leader,” Vivian, a kind of bitchy older sister who, rather than tormenting Emma, took her under her wing as a prodigy. The two shared a dramatic love-hate relationship until Vivian and the other two girls went missing, a loss that has followed Emma into adulthood.

Fifteen years later, Emma is back at Camp Nightingale as it reopens at the behest of owner and philanthropist Franny, a woman about whom Emma has mixed feelings. Emma accused her son of having a hand in her friends’ disappearances and is suspicious about why she’s been invited back to teach art to a new group of less privileged campers. Still, Vivian knew something all those years ago and Emma’s obsession with her disappearance, and to a lesser degree her guilt over it, drives her deep into an old mystery. When her three new cabinmates go missing, she has no choice but to go right to the edge to find out what happened then and what is happening now.

I can’t say enough good about this book or about how talented an author “Riley Sager,” whose real name is actually Todd Ritter, is. I pay him the highest compliment when I say there is no way I’d have believed either book, which are female protagonist-centric and resoundingly accurate, could have been written by a man. He writes with authenticity about the insecurities and coming of age problems that women experience in a way that is so endearing and engaging. I have a hard time ever putting his books down while simultaneously never wanting them to end. I sympathized with Emma’s plight while feeling her need for closure and the immense distrust that came with being outcast and suspect in a place she was reluctant to return to. He never gives away too much of the mystery too early, instead pushing the reader toward the next page. He is a master craftsman and an inspiration. Kudos, man. I nearly cried at the end of The Last Time I Lied. Damn, that was one good book. I’m only sad that it’s over and that I can’t erase my memory to read it again for the first time.

Emma is an artist that just had her first big art showing. To patrons of this art world Emma seems to be a great talent and is making it big with her Forest Series. But hidden deep inside these paintings is a secret, a secret that is enveloped in guilt. Emma will return to the origin of this guilt once more to attempt to reconcile her feelings and find out what really happened on that 4th of July night.

First of all I have to say that I was truly excited to read this book. I completely enjoyed his first book Final Girls so the anticipation for this book was very high.
I have read so many novels that I have become very picky about what I read and, honestly, if a book doesn’t keep my attention within the first couple of chapters I will bail on it. This book had me from the very first page. I could not put this book down because I had to know what was causing Emma to feel this deep guilt. The imagery is clear and easy to visualize without being overwhelmed by wordy and ranty descriptions. The story is told in both past and present and gives you a feeling that no one can be trusted and every character is on your suspects list. There are more twists than a circus contortionist and the ending literally sent chills up my spine. Its unpredictable, tense, visual and there is never a dull moment. The story flows naturally and is so easy to read that I finished it in just under 2 days. Just like Final Girls I loved this book and highly recommend it if you like being drawn into a book and shutting the real world out for a little while. I give this book 5 stars for not once letting the idea of setting this book down cross my mind.
