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.
