I had a life anyone would kill for.
Then someone did.
The worst part of being dead is that there's nothing left to live for. No more kisses. No more secrets. No more gossip. It's enough to kill a girl all over again. But I'm about to get something no one else does -- an encore performance, thanks to Emma, the long-lost twin sister I never even got to meet.
Now Emma's desperate to know what happened to me. And the only way to figure it out is to be me--to slip into my old life and piece it all together. But can she laugh at inside jokes with my best friends? Convince my boyfriend she's the girl he fell in love with? Pretend to be a happy, care-free daughter when she hugs my parents goodnight? And can she keep up the charade, even after she realizes my murderer is watching her every move?
From Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars books, comes a riveting new series about secrets, lies, and killer consequences.
Let the lying game begin.
This series is about a girl named Sutton Mercer who discovered that she had a long-lost twin sister, named Emma Paxton, right after her death. Somehow, her soul attached to Emma's while Emma not long after that found out about her twin sister. The excited foster kid Emma planning to go all the way from Vegas to Tucson to meet her sister, but then she forced to live Sutton's life by her sister's murderer. Honestly, at first I didn't really interested to read this book at all, seeing the ongoing Pretty Little Liars series which still haven't finish yet, so I decided to watch the TV show and then disappointed about the cancellation after one and half season.
If you watched the TV show, or at least saw the clips, there's a HUGE differences between the TV show and the books. We can saw the alive Sutton Mercer in the TV show while in the book her soul attached to her sister. I figured the differences on the characters names too. In the TV show we got Emma Becker, Ethan Whitehorse, Thayer Rybak while in the books we got Emma Paxton, Ethan Landry and Thayer Vega and a lot more including the plot twists.
When I read the first book, I am really excited. First, it was very easy for me to get into, because I already watched the TV show, and I love how Sara Shepard create the 'all of the characters could be the suspect' kind of mystery. Every single person had something to do with Sutton on the day she died. So, we got Emma and her acting to solve her sister murderer. So, obviously I gave the first book 5 out of 5 stars. But, I was little disappointed about the second (Never Have I Ever) and the third (Two Truths and a Lie) book. I feel we going through the same pace between those two. I know it is six books series, but I couldn't just waste my time reading similar things back to back. If I didn't have the fourth book by the time I finished the third book, I'm pretty sure I won't finish this series ever. So, I gave the second book 4 out of 5 stars, and the third book 3 out of 5 stars.
But then, I read the fourth book (Hide and Seek), I was surprised. I cannot talk about this book anymore without giving any spoilers away. I gave the fourth book 5 out of 5 stars. Interesting things kept happening in the fifth book (Cross My Heart, Hope to Die), but not quite surprising as the fourth book. So, I gave this book 4 out of 5 stars. Aaaaannnddd here we are in the sixth and final book (Seven Minutes in Heaven) in this series, for me, I was satisfied with the ending, even though it was predictable for me. I gave this final book 4 out of 5 stars, because this book made me sobs for the last 50 pages. Hahahaha :D
Overall, I gave this series 4 out of 5 stars. It was pretty good. I recommended this book for you who seeks light murder mystery kind of book. I literally read one book per day. So it was pretty fast read.
Happy reading! :)
