Book Synopsis

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
 
From the author of Survive the Night and Final Girls comes a tense and twisty thriller about a summer camp that’s impossible to forget—no matter how hard you try.

Two Truths and a Lie. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and Emma played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out into the darkness. The last she—or anyone—saw of the teenagers was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips....

Fifteen years later, Emma is a rising star in the New York art scene, turning her past into paintings—massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches over ghostly shapes in white dresses. When the paintings catch the attention of the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to come back to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor.

Despite her guilt and anxiety—or maybe because of them—Emma agrees to revisit her past. Nightingale looks the same as it did all those years ago, haunted by a midnight-dark lake and familiar faces. Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, although the security camera pointed at her door is a disturbing new addition.
 
As cryptic clues about the camp's origins begin to surface, Emma attempts to find out what really happened to her friends. But her closure could come at a deadly price.

    I didn’t hate it? But I didn’t love it? It was very slow at the start and about halfway through it picked up, then it kind of ended with a “eh ok” ending.
  • Crazy good!

    I was captivated by this mystery thriller from the start with its vague references to the past and teasing reveals that would emanate a lot of conjure and imagination but I’d always be taken down a wilder twisted dark path where the truth would be thrust upon me with such shock and awe I’d actually gasped aloud a few times. Excellent work!
  • Would recommend

    This book was really good! I would recommend this book for other people but I would warn them that the beginning can be kind of slow! But once the action happens! You can’t put it down!
  • Curious but also disappointed

    I really enjoyed Sager’s book “Home Before Dark” so I was excited to read another book by the author. I was sucked in at the beginning but as I kept turning the pages it was pretty repetitive and somewhat confusing. To me, the information was sporadic and didn’t flow well. In regards to the ending - not sure how that could be possible without anyone noticing over the years?! Willing to give Sager another shot but had higher hopes for “The Last Time I Lied”.

    This was a good story. It was really slow at first and some of the reveals were a little disappointing (except for the last reveal). As a whole, it wasn’t as intriguing as I thought it could be. Given that, once we got to the 75% mark things really picked up and I was really sucked into the story. The last chapter was the best part of the entire book. I loved that twist! Overall, solid story but I can’t give more than 3 stars considering the majority of the book was slow and I only truly enjoyed the ending.
  • I couldn’t put this book down!
