Two Truths and a Lie

By April Henry


First off, thank you to HBG Canada for sending me an earc for an honest review

The synopsis for this one sounded so good, a group of teens trapped in a creepy motel with a killer on the loose? Sign me up! However, this one was not able to meet my expectations.  First off, there were so many characters it was hard for me to remember who was in which "group". Secondly, when a new adult came to stay at the hotel, they would wander into the common room where the teens were playing two truths and a lie and say something weird and "leave them to their game" and walk out. I felt that we didn't really need to go through this 2-3 times for each person, it felt like it was just a way for us as the reader to get introduced to other characters. The prank was also not something I enjoyed and I don't know how the characters could just brush it off so quick. So many things happened but at the same time it felt like nothing was happening if that makes sense. The killer was predictable and the ending was too abrupt. I've read one other book by this author and I didn't enjoy that one either so it might be time to cut ties. 
Overall, not something I would want to read again, as I was pushing myself to finish.
