The Last Time I Lied Tour Stop & Giveaway!

Hello! It’s another blog tour and a giveaway!

15 years ago Emma Davis watched her cabin mates Vivian, Natalie and Allison slip out in the middle of the night. They hushed her and told her she was to young to go with them only to never been seen again.

Now an up and coming artist in New York Emma, who paints the girls into all her work, is asked to return to Camp Nightingale as a painting instructor. The wealthy family that owns the camp thinks it will make the reopening look better that she’s involved since the disappearances became a media storm. Emma on the other hand wants to face her past and just maybe find out what happened to her friends.

Almost immediately things take a turn. Emma believes she’s being watched and not only does she find clues Vivian left behind years ago- she begins to see Vivian herself wandering about the camp. The family begins to distrust her. There’s a camera pointed only at her cabin. A fireside tale of the camps origin that may prove true and mounting memories begin to tear at the thought of who she can or can’t trust.

The Last Time I Lied

By: Riley Sager

Publisher: Dutton Press

Release Date: July 3, 2018

Genre: Adult, Mystery, Suspense, Thriller

Grade: A

A twisty thriller with a questionable narrator and a creepy setting I really enjoyed this one. (Okay, okay. If you like camping and such you might not find the setting creepy at first- but the story of the camp certainly helps!)

The two timelines work really well here and while all of the characters might not be that in-depth Emma and Vivian are and those are the two that count. (I also liked Theo a lot.) Most impressively for a mystery it kept me guessing until the end. I also think it came together nicely. The big reveals worked and it all made sense. Love to see a follow-up on that ending though!

I also think I just generally like unreliable narrators better when the narrator is unsure as well. When memory and the world and quiet possibly mental health is turning against them. Not characters who straight up tell you that you can’t trust them. Although if I had a fault with this one I thought Emma behaved a little too stupidly here and there but considering the stress she was under I suppose you could give her a pass.

Recommend: Yes. The Last Time I Lied is definitely a fun enjoyable read. (Considering the camp setting especially for summer.) I’ll be checking out Final Girl’s and whatever else Riley Sager writes in the future.
