About this ebook

New York Times bestselling series!

The first book in the New York Times bestselling series The Lying Game, by the author of the bestselling Pretty Little Liars series, Sara Shepard.

Shortly before her seventeenth birthday, Emma discovers she has a long-lost twin named Sutton Mercer. She contacts Sutton, who agrees to a rendezvous but never shows up.

Curious at first, Emma slips into Sutton’s ultra-glamorous life, assuming her identity. When it becomes clear that Sutton is not coming back, that someone made sure she never could, Emma plunges in to investigate who could have wanted her sister gone (a fairly long list, she discovers).

Unfortunately, taking over Sutton’s life means innocent little Emma has inherited all that bad blood—and then some.

Perfect for fans of Sara Shepard’s #1 New York Times bestselling series Pretty Little Liars, The Lying Game has all the juicy plot lines, to-die-for lifestyles, and compelling secrets that fans love.

Ratings and reviews

The Lying Game has been the first book that I have read that kept me on the edge of my seat. It was very surprising that she managed to squeeze comedy into the cracks of suspense. It was filled with "oh my god did that just happen" moments. Every chapter was filled with information that you didn't even realize you needed to solve the mystery. I'm still trying to get at least one suspect in mind. I don't mean that in a bad way, rather in a good way. I also love that Sara Shepard used Sutton's point of view, not caring that she was dead. Whenever I have to write in class, I always think about this story. I would recommend that every teenager/adult should read this 155 paged story.

I read all the Pretty Little Liars series and decided to try this series too. I had a hard time putting it down. I read the whole first book in one day. Now on to the second one... :-)

Great series should read the digital novellas last. Better than PPL
