Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard

Never Have I Ever (Lying Game #2) by Sara Shepard

MY PERFECT LIFE WAS A LIE.
NOW I'D DO ANYTHING TO
UNCOVER THE TRUTH.

Not long ago, I had everything a girl could wish for: amazing friends, an adorable boyfriend, a loving family. But none of them know that I'm gone--that I'm dead. To solve my murder, my long-lost twin sister, Emma, has taken my place. She sleeps in my room, wears my clothes, and calls my parents Mom and Dad.

And my killer is watching her every move.

I remember little from my life, just flashes and flickers, so all I can do is follow along as Emma tries to solve the mystery of my disappearance. But the deeper she digs, the more suspects she uncovers. It turns out my friends and I played a lot of games--games that ruined people's lives. Anyone could want revenge...anyone could want me--and now Emma--dead.

==This book was alot more action packed. More anxiety. I actually thought we could finally come away with some real answers. I do admit that my heart was pumping when Emma was stuck in that cave. I almost wanted to cover my eyes, with fingers spread, like at a tense moment watching a movie. =)

I was bummed out that we have to go back to square one. But will eagerly look for the next book.==

The Lying Game by Sara Shepard

Pretty girls don't
play by the rules.
They make them.

Abandoned by her mother at age five, Emma Paxton has had a rough life in foster care, always longing for a familyu of her own. When she discovers Sutton Mercer, the wealthy twin she never knew she had, she leaps at the chance to meet her. But then Sutton disappears...

Mistaking Emma for her sister, Sutton's friends whisk her away. At first Emma plays along, eager to peek into her twin's life. Sutton seems to have everything Emma never got--an adoring boyfriend, fiercely loyal friends, and a close-knit family--but as Emma is drawn further into Sutton's world, she find that everyone is hiding dark secrets. Worst of all, Sutton may not be coming back--ever.

Now, to find out what happened to her, Emma must kepp up the charade. But one wrong move and she could end up missing as well.

Let the Lying Game begin.

==I liked the story. It was nice to move away from the occult books. The style of writing the author has to offer is very refreshing. Who doesn't love a good mystery? I, of course, love Ethan. The voiolence in this book is just enough to get the point across. I was actually shocked at first that they would add something like this in a YA book. The author makes you actually feel the necklace around her throat. Every episode of fear is so real with this character.

The only bad thing, is that after I read this book, I watched the TV version of this book series. I didn't like it, and now it messed up my memory of the book. I need to remember to write the review of the book BEFORE seeing any other version, movie or TV. =(
