An Honest Lie
"An Honest Lie is riveting suspense, but it's also a scream of defiance, a howl of rage." --#1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover
"I'm going to kill her. You'd better come if you want to save her."
Lorraine-"Rainy"-lives at the top of Tiger Mountain. Remote, moody, cloistered in pine trees and fog, it's a sanctuary, a new life. She can hide from the disturbing past she wants to forget.
If she's allowed to.
When Rainy reluctantly agrees to a girls' weekend in Vegas, she's prepared for an exhausting parade of shots and slot machines. But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn't come back to the hotel room.
And then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe's phone: someone has her. But Rainy is who they really want, and Rainy knows why.
What follows is a twisted, shocking journey on the knife-edge of life and death. If she wants to save Braithe-and herself-the only way is to step back into the past.
This seething, gut-punch of a thriller can only have sprung from the fiendish brain of Tarryn Fisher, one of the most cunning writers of our time.

Cults and mysterious pasts? Yes please! Thanks to @netgalley and @harlequinbooks for an early copy of this. * Synopsis: Rainy Ives reluctantly agrees to go on a girls' weekend to Vegas with some women she met when she moved to Washington for her boyfriend. But it quickly becomes apparent that there may be some ulterior motives to the trip, and then one woman disappears and Rainy receives a text message from that woman's phone indicating that she is in trouble and whoever has her phone knows Rainy's real background. * I really liked this at first. Rainy is a fun, likeable character, and her interactions with some of the women are really entertaining. The flashbacks to her childhood are also fascinating and horrifying, and keep the book moving quickly. * Unfortunately the last 75 pages or so completely fell apart for me. Rainy makes some really stupid choices that have no logic behind them, there were a lot of plotholes, and red herrings brought up that didn't end up making any sense in retrospect. * I'm disappointed because I think it had a lot of potential, and I really enjoyed the characters and some of the twists, but it just didn't hold up.
I LOOOVE Tarryn Fisher. Literally anything she writes, and this was no exception. A twisted read that I just couldn’t put down.

An Honest Lie is my new favorite by the inimitable Tarryn Fisher. Loved the time jumps and the pacing and the creepiness and the splendid imagery. And most of all, Rainy. Don't sleep on this one. It will be your new favorite too.

….but it fell short for many different reasons… I feel like I’ve seen so much of this stunning book cover and promotion for the past year or maybe because I was just so excited to read a new book from the brilliant mind of Tarryn Fisher or for the simple fact that the writing itself felt shallow. The trauma wasn’t a gut punch, the characters actions were juvenile, and the ending was rushed.
