Friday Review - April 17, 2015

The Lie by C.L. Taylor
Pub Date - April 23, 2015
4 stars



When four friends in their mid-twenties start to feel stressed out by jobs and relationships, they decide to visit a retreat in Nepal to refresh.  Thus starts an entirely creepy and compulsively readable tale about lies, twisted friendships and scary vacations.  The story is told from Emma's point of view, maybe the most sane of the four friends (which isn't saying much), and alternates between the vacation five years ago and present day.   In the present, Emma has tried to start over with a new identity but someone keeps bringing up the past in terrifying ways.  I truly enjoyed the suspense and the unlikable characters.  Sometimes the dialogue and character's actions seemed a little bit unbelievable but that almost made it more fun to read.  I received an Egalley of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
