    Sutton Mercer is dead, but only a few people know it. Her long-lost twin, Emma, has stepped into her shoes—doing her best to flirt with Sutton’s boyfriend, hang with her friends, and live with her family all while tracking down Sutton’s murderer. But the killer wants Emma to keep playing the part of Sutton—after all, no missing person means no investigation—and will do anything to make sure Emma toes the line...or else.

    Perfect for fans of Sara Shepard’s #1 New York Times bestselling series Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game has all the juicy plot lines, to-die-for lifestyles, and compelling secrets that fans love.

      After spending a bit of time trying to decide whether I love or hate this series, I think I do like it. My biggest complaint is that it feels like the author drew out this series into more books than necessary to make more money. Although I'm on the second of four, it seems very probable that the whole series could easily have gone into one, or possibly two, books.The elements of these books are definitely teen pleasers. The "it crowd" along with all the bff, cattiness, boyfriend, etc., that entails. Sudden rise to popularity of a nobody girl. And, of course, the mystery. It's a fun concept. I just feel like there's a lot of fluff and nothingness.Judging from the first two books, it seems like each book has a suspect or group of suspects who are then ruled out in the end, except of course (hopefully!) the last book. My guess for a suspect is Ethan. Just putting it out there now.

      Amazing. Taking over your dead sisters life, telling no one shes dead, falling in love with some one your sister never would have, and keeping secrets from the family you wish you had.

      After a few weeks of swapping her worn-out foster life for her deceased twin’s former high life, Emma Paxton is still on the case. She is playing the part of her ex-sibling to solve the mysterious factors that landed said twin, Sutton, in a rather otherworldly position. And by “otherworldly”, I mean “dead”. Though the dilemma of mismatched identity is becoming old hat, the drama of the still unsolved disappearance has no hope of getting old any time soon.The relationships she thought she had built, during the first installment, shift and shatter, leaving her to both trust and question everything and nothing.This series is exactly why I love reading, yet ate reviewing, books in series. I feel like I cou;d do a seriously bang up review if I knew everyone had read the first book but I know that’s not true. It’s especially difficult, in this case, since the entire four book series explores the mystery. It’s not simply a series that answers a whodunit in a single volume.Though I can’t give much away, I can still tell you that I’m well addicted to this little adventure. Yes, it’s pretty young for my reading habits but it’s also incredibly fun. For a mystery, it’s certainly comprised of enough twists and turns. I’m sure that, as soon as I find out who the killer is, it will seem as though it was obvious from the beginning but, for right now, I can tell you that I’m totally in the dark. I’m dying, here, knowing that the third book is going to be done within a day and then I’ll have to wait until this summer for all of the answers. Eek!I also have to add a side note: I have no idea how they’ve made this into a t.v. series! I know that Shepard’s other mystery thriller series, Pretty Little Liars, has been given the same treatment but it’s a much longer series and it’s also, I think, complete. I might be tempted to investigate the show, later this summer, when the last book is out. No possible spoilers for me, thank you!

      Pro: Good pacing
      Con: Cliff hanger ending

      Pro: Characters are flushing out
      Con: Random parade of name brands continues

      Pro: Mysteries are solved at same/near rate to mysteries being introduced
      Con: No end in sight

      Lately, I have been reading a lot of second novels that simply fall flat. Happily, "Never Have I Ever" advancing the story line, rules out some of the more obvious possibilities, and introduces new mystery.

      I do think a lot of my enjoyment of these novels comes from the nostalgic feeling I get while reading.

      This is book 2 in a series. I bought the first book without paying attention to the fact that it was one book in a series, of six books no less! Unhappy with myself for not paying attention, I found the story too addicting to just let go. So, in book two, we continue.And at the end of book two, we still don’t know who killed Sutter. I am resigned to buying all books in the series, but I’ll do so as I read them. In this book, we examine several suspects. Emma, and the ghostly Sutton, examine and reflect on the motives of all her friends, and even her sister Laurel. Suspects are vetted, trusted, and suspected again. The half paranormal pair examine jealous rivals. All of this sleuth work takes place with a background of unusual, dangerous, and cruel pranks that all characters seem to feel comfortable playing on each other, friend and foe alike.And then, not a spoiler, at the end of book two yet another mysterious character appears. This is enjoyable reading, good writing, and I feel motivating for readers working with English as a second language.On to book three.
    • 4/5
      "Never Have I Ever" wasn't quite as unique, fun and twisted as the first book "The Lying Game" in the series of the same name. Still the book was enjoyable. I don't necessarily know if Emma has gotten any closer to finding her twin sister Sutton's murderer but along the way we find out more about the events that led up to the murder and by the end of this installment Emma is able to cross several suspects off the list. However, more questions seem to keep popping up. I liked the book just fine but it really did end up feeling like not enough happened. I still have more questions than answers at the moment and I don't mind this being a series but I hope it isn't completely drawn out through so many installments that it ends up getting boring or overly convoluted. Emma is a nice, strong character and I like reading about her but Sutton was just an unbelievable mess. Right now her friends haven't exactly won me over yet either. So, without giving much away, there was some action, and some small things revealed but it wasn't anything earth shattering. Still if you want to move on with the series, I do believe it will be very important not to miss one along the way.

      The second book in the Lying Game series picks up right where the first one leaves off and ends right where I'm guessing the third one starts back up. I find myself completely drawn into this story and can't wait to find out what's going to happen. After I'm done with this, I definitely plan on starting the Pretty Little Liars series also by Sara Shepard. I really enjoy her writing style.
    • 5/5
      Okay. After listening to book 2 in this series I will admit there are many, many similarities between this series and “Pretty Little Liars”. One could say that it’s even formulaic. Even so, there is enough new stuff here to keep Sara Shepard fans intrigued. I’m loving it. ?

      The narrator, with her very youngish sounding voice, is perfect for this series! I love her too. ?

      This series is WAY better than PPL. I Totally recommend
    • 3/5
      A fun, light book. It's basically more of the same as the first book. I guess that each book is going to have different murder suspects that prove false by the end of the book? I'd like some assurance that the murder will be solved at some point. I like it, but it's nothing particularly special.
