My favourite book this year!!
Another book that deserves more than 5 stars. I loved this - a book that I thought about constantly, even when I wasn't reading it. The story of Cyril Avery's life, from the moment his mother is ejected from the village church and the village itself, up until near his death. An absolutely wonderful story. I laughed (a lot), I cried.
Highly recommended!!!

If I could give this more than 5 stars I would.
This is a story about learning who you truly are, fighting the system, and overcoming death even if it is temporary. Add in a slow build romance that feels real and you have rosemarked.
Zivah and Dineas's story is told from alternating points of view. The author does a fantastic job of portraying each view point.

I wish I could give this book more than 5 stars. I started it and couldn't put it down. I read the entire thing in a day and was brought to tears multiple times. This is a gut wrenching read that I recommend to anyone who wants to get a better emotional feel for so much of what is going on in our political climate right now.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This is a wonderful addition to this series that I've already told tons of people about! It's such a refreshing idea, and it just keeps getting better and better throughout the story. I can't wait to read more, and I'm looking forward to new and exciting things from this author!

5 stars =)

Huh

I'm crying right now with that ending. The Cavars covering them as they went in the pool. If that's not love...

I really didn't get the Kyon thing. You had Trey, girl! WTF is wrong with you! I am still 100% Team Trey so that whole Kricket and Kyon thing really didn't gel with me, hence it only getting 4 instead of 5 stars.

‏I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

After reading Christina McDonald's The Night Olivia Fell, I was eager to read her latest, Behind Every Lie.

Behind Every Lie has an interesting premise - how can you prove you did not do something if you cannot remember it. Eva Hansen wakes up in a hospital after being struck by lightning. She discovers her mother was murdered and Eva was found just down the street from the murder. She cannot remember what happened but the police doubt her and her convenient memory loss. What follows is a two continent race to solve the mystery before the police arrest her. Did Eva kill her mother? If not, who did?

Both of Christina McDonald's books grabbed me right at the beginning and kept me there throughout the whole story. I was worried because I rarely believe a book is 5 stars. It has to blow me away. I gave The Night Olivia Fell 5 stars. I was hoping Christina McDonald was not a "one and done" author. Behind Every Lie proves she is not. While I did not give Behind Every Lie 5 stars, it did earn a well-deserved 4 and ensured Christina McDonald is an author I will continue to read.
