The Lying Game

     Happy New Year's Eve!!! I wish you the best in 2011. I recently read The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. It was pretty intense! My heart was always racing, and I wouldn't put it down. I read from start to finish. I loved it! I'm not usually into the whole murder mystery genre, but this book was an exception.

     Sutton Mercer is dead, but no one knows. Why? Because Emma Paxton, her long lost twin, shows up right after the murder. Someone threatens her into pretending to be Sutton, so she changes her identity. Emma is stuck with Sutton's life, which includes mysterious threats, mean girls, and THE LYING GAME. Emma doesn't know who to trust. Everyone is a suspect.

      Emma makes it her job to figure out who killed her sister, but that's kind of hard to do when her friends are pulling dangerous pranks all the time. Once life starts to get really scary for Emma, she tries to leave, but she changes her mind and stays to solve the mystery. Emma is finding pieces of the puzzle, but nothing makes sense. It could have been anyone. She needs more information, but she can't find any.

     When Emma finally knows part of what happened the night of her sister's murder, it doesn't solve anything. She finds that the people she suspected most, might not have had anything to do with Sutton's death. Someone is watching. Someone knows the truth. Someone murdered Sutton, but who was it? Will Emma every find out the answer, or will her meddling cost her her own life? *Phae Phae*
