The Last Time I Lied
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the author of Survive the Night and Final Girls comes a tense and twisty thriller about a summer camp that’s impossible to forget—no matter how hard you try.
Two Truths and a Lie. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and Emma played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out into the darkness. The last she—or anyone—saw of the teenagers was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips....
Fifteen years later, Emma is a rising star in the New York art scene, turning her past into paintings—massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches over ghostly shapes in white dresses. When the paintings catch the attention of the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to come back to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor.
Despite her guilt and anxiety—or maybe because of them—Emma agrees to revisit her past. Nightingale looks the same as it did all those years ago, haunted by a midnight-dark lake and familiar faces. Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, although the security camera pointed at her door is a disturbing new addition.
As cryptic clues about the camp's origins begin to surface, Emma attempts to find out what really happened to her friends. But her closure could come at a deadly price.

I came across this book on Tik Tok. Reading it there were definitely slower parts I feel could have been removed . Definitely had to get to the end for the suspense.Appreciate the plot twist at the end though !

I loved the story and writing and voice up until the beginning of the end. Unrealistic

I didn’t hate it? But I didn’t love it? It was very slow at the start and about halfway through it picked up, then it kind of ended with a “eh ok” ending.

I was captivated by this mystery thriller from the start with its vague references to the past and teasing reveals that would emanate a lot of conjure and imagination but I’d always be taken down a wilder twisted dark path where the truth would be thrust upon me with such shock and awe I’d actually gasped aloud a few times. Excellent work!
