SUMMARY:

Sara Shepard, the author of the Pretty Little Liars novels, has followed up those top-selling fictions with an even more artfully knotted series. At its center is a murdered narrator whose long-lost identical twin sister Emma is serving as a stand-in detective to find the killer. In the second episode of their hunt, the pair discovers new clues, but they know that as they search for the killer, he or she is watching their every move, waiting for the right moment to end it all. Editor's recommendation.-Goodreads.com

REViEW:
This book was AH-MAZING! Ohmigosh it had everything I loved about the Pretty Little Liar series! This book was so much better than the first book in this series. There was so much suspense and anticipation for the ending that I could barely stand it! Halfway through the book it felt like it was the exact same passage from Pretty Little Liars, it kind of seemed repetitive. Then, like two seconds later, BAM! It was so shocking... I don't want to give too much away, but let me tell you, it was quite a thrilling ride.

The characters were a little bit easier to understand in this installment. I liked being able to get to know Mads and Char. The Twitter Twins... whoa, did not expect that. Crazy... Anywho, the characters were a lot more developed in this book. I did not even mind Sutton's point of view in this book. I love how Ms. Shepard leads you along through the entire book about "who did it?" and then on the last page is all "just kidding! *insert twist here*." Her storyline and her ability to keep you on the edge of your seat is reason enough to buy this book, preferably right this minute.

I did not expect that ending... wow... SHOCKING!!! Give me book 3 RIGHT NOW! I can not wait until the next book comes out. The ending was a total cliffhanger and makes me want to cry that I have to wait until February until the next book comes out. During my Lying Game review I said that I preferred the show over the book, not anymore. This book was so crazy suspenseful, I am now a full fledged Lying Game book lover.

My Favorite Part: Ooh... probably the twists in this one and the whole thing with the Twins. 

ALL iN ALL:
Do I recommend this book? Yes, please buy it right now!

Will I be reading the next book? DUH! I want it now. :(

Thank you for reading! I would love to hear your thoughts on The Lying Game show or book series.
