Book - Never Lie - Freida McFadden

Never Lie by Freida McFadden, was quite a surprise. I started reading expecting a light suspense, and ended up completely hooked by a story that keeps the tension and curiosity alive from beginning to end. The author has an impressive ability to keep readers on edge, every chapter brings a new detail, a new question, a new reason to keep going.

The pacing is fast, the chapters are short and intense, and the book masterfully plays with the idea that no one is exactly who they seem to be. You’re always one step away from uncovering something, yet never fully sure what’s true. And just when you think you’ve figured it out, the plot twist hits and it truly catches you off guard.

I have mixed feelings about the ending. On one hand, I loved how unpredictable and bold it was, Freida avoids the cliché and takes the story somewhere unexpected. On the other hand, it felt a bit disjointed, like some of the puzzle pieces didn’t quite fit together. Still, it’s the kind of book that leaves you thinking for a while after finishing it.

It’s definitely worth reading, especially if you enjoy thrillers that play with perception and explore the psychological side of their characters. Never Lie might not be flawless, but it perfectly shows why Freida McFadden has become such a popular name in the genre, she knows exactly how to build tension and keep you guessing.

A gripping, fast-paced thriller full of twists that make you question everything, even what you thought you knew.
