Sure, this was a page-turner. Though you truthfully can’t actually like or admire any of the lead characters, their very flaws maintain you glued to the novel. There have been plot twists that wowed, and ones that I discovered to be fairly ridiculous. If you’re searching for an entertaining thriller that received’t tax your psychological schools, then this is perhaps a sensible choice for you.

For me, it was maybe one mislead far… The denouement didn’t fulfill, and actually let the guide down in my private opinion. When you love fast-paced, twisty thrillers, unreliable narrators, and weird interpersonal triangles, Depend My Lies will definitely entertain you. Simply heed my warning that the ending is so far-fetched that many readers would possibly deem it unacceptable.

This evaluation was written voluntarily and my ranking was by no means influenced by the truth that I obtained a complimentary digital copy of this novel from Gallery/Scout Press/Simon & Schuster by way of Edelweiss.
