“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.
Tarryn Fisher has a wicked and brilliant mind. Her writing is captivating and compelling—Fisher wields words, they are definitely her weapon. She is an incredible champion of women and this is what the premise of the book is supposed to be, but the story is not believable enough (especially the ending) and the dual storylines are far too disjointed.
Although there were parts that were excellent and well-written, most of the story felt like an afterthought in order to connect the dots and right a few plot holes.
An Honest Lie is a miss. Where Fisher excels is when she is writing about angsty relationships that are tinged with her signature darkness.
TARRYN FISHER is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Wives.
Born a sun hater, she currently makes her home in Seattle, Washington with her children, husband, and psychotic husky.
Tarryn writes about villains.
