We Lie Here by Rachel Howzell Hall
4.0
dark medium-paced

This is my second Rachel book. The issue I had with the first one was the pacing. This book was faster pace. I was excited that I kept rethinking who I thought did the murder. I was so focused on my hatred and uncomfortableness with one of the characters that I missed it. Touché Rachel, touché! 

Typically bad parents are too much for me to read. However, I felt like this book had just enough of it without making me (the reader) annoyed with the constant reminder that the MC had an unsupportive mom. I think that’s why I had so much trouble with Violin Conspiracy because it was tooo much. 

This is a story of NOTHING and I mean NOTHING is what it seems. When you think something is surface level it is much deeper than that. You second guess yourself just like the MC. I thought that was chef kiss! I’ve never read a book where I was feel the same emotion as the MC while reading.
