The Lying Game by Sara Shepard


I had a life anyone would kill for.

Then someone did.

The worst part of being dead is that there’s nothing left to live for. No more kisses. No more secrets. No more gossip. It’s enough to kill a girl all over again. But I’m about to get something no one else does—an encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never even got to meet.

Now Emma’s desperate to know what happened to me. And the only way to figure it out is to be me—to slip into my old life and piece it all together. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend she’s the girl he fell in love with? Pretend to be a happy, carefree daughter when she hugs my parents good night? And can she keep up the charade, even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?


The Lying Game was completely addicting. I took it with me everywhere until I finished reading it. Despite me loving this book, I feel that Sara Shepard is kind of writing the same thing over again. She writes the whole murder-mystery thing well, but The Lying Game has a lot of resemblance to Pretty Little Liars. That being said, I think that Shepard has incredible abilities when it comes to building characters. All of her characters are so well developed that you feel that you are apart of their lives.
This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Every page was lined with a mystery.
I couldn’t put down this book. I recommend it to people who liked reading Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars series. Sara Shepard wrote a mysterious, amazing, addicting book that will thrill its readers! I can't wait for the next boo in this series!

  5. I'm just about finished with this one. I love it, but I want it to come to some type of conclusion in the end. However, I think this one may have a cliffhanger ending....
