I really enjoyed 'Home before dark', so after finishing that, I jumped directly into 'Last time I lied'. I don't know what happened, over saturation or enlightenment.. but I did not enjoy this one. It dragged for a long time and what started as an interesting premise, ended up lost in too much back and forth, talking, accusing and some kinda unbelievable turns. No character was likeable, and it became a bit too annoying reading that portrayal of female characters. In times also overly dramatic in my eyes. The twist in the end was at least something happening, at this point I mainly finished it for the sake of finishing... but it was not surprising at all, because the explanation for the happenings before, made not a lot of sense. I really dreaded the main character towards the end.
For a, I think long while, probably my last Sager book.

Emma Davis attended Camp Nightingale when she was 13 years old and three of her older roommates disappeared under mysterious circumstances which eventually caused the camp to shut down .Now Emma is back after 15 years at the Camp Nightingale’s reopening to finally figure out what happened to her friends all those years ago.

The Last Time I Lied is a fast paced gripping psychological thriller . After reading Final Girls by Riley Sager I was real excited to get a copy of this book and it did not disappoint. The setting of the book was creepy and eerie which fit very well with the story.An intriguing read which I would recommend to all mystery lovers

I would like to thank Edelweiss+ and the publishers for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

This was too long for the plot. I wasn't disappointed by the ending and did like what came about. It's another one of those that feelings were blown up (they were kids and Emma was crushing on Theo) but trauma stays with you type of story. Chet was getting back at Emma for putting Theo as a suspect. Though Theo never slept with Vivian and it was the groundskeeper. Vivian killed Natalie and Allison for not saving her sister. Emma paints Vivian to put out a clue for the actual murderer. I don't know if I love that her and Theo get a fresh start but it's open ended enough that I can see it as they are n ot cordial but won't get together because Theo deserves to move on.
