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.

Rezension von DiosymarSuspenseful, don’t read it unless you’re a camp counselor and that’ll keep it more interesting lol
Rezension von lizzie2,5 * While it was very readable, the twists and turns were quite unconvincing / ridiculous and I didn't care for any of the characters. There were too many of them, anyway.
Rezension von Danielle BergThis is my 3rd book by this author and it does not disappoint. The story is well told and flows well without a lot of annoying filler. The ending was somewhat predictable but it didn't detract from the overall book or make me feel like I wasted my time. I will definitely read more by this author, great storyteller.
Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“Everything is a game, Em. Whether you know it or not. Which means that sometimes a lie is more than just a lie. Sometimes it's the only way to win.”</i></b></blockquote> This was much more thrilling than Final Girls. I was way more invested, and found myself more intrigued by what was going on than in that other novel - and I think most of it has to do with the fact that Em is a much more likable character than Quincy. I pitied her, I wanted to protect her and wanted her to succeed in getting her life together. I also liked the overall solution here way better than I did Final Girls. BUT, till the final chapter, it was still a 3-3.5 star book for me. What REALLY made this book for me, with a cherry on top, was the epilogue. That was a master's touch if there ever was one. I was completely windblown and I kept thinking about what happened after weeks. A good thriller/mystery novel, with a sensational ending!
