WOW! This is a stellar mystery/thriller! It grabbed me from the first word and made me yell “NO!” at the last. Summer camp, missing girls, ghosts, multiple suspects, insanity. Fifteen years later, repeat. Two truths and one lie.

I only post my best reviews on my blog and this one has recently gained that title!

-If you are reading this, which fictional Disney animal would you most like to have as your sidekick?
I'd probably choose Pegasus or Mushu!

Riley Sager has a way of really drawing you into his works. Once I started reading this I could not stop. The story instantly draws you in and you can really relate with the main character Emma.

Emma returns to her childhood summer camp, Camp Nightingale, to uncover the truth about a tragedy that happened there fifteen years ago that involved the disappearance of three girls from her cabin. The girls played two truths and a lie a lot and a few times the game gets heated and real secrets start to emerge. When Emma returns she feels the sense of being followed and starts to notice ominous signs warning her and then the three young girls from her cabin go missing again.

The story is so good and you really start to get invested in the search for the truth. The ending will blow you mind.
