What if someone killed
your twin sister?

What if that someone
wanted to hurt you, too?

Would you hide?
Or would you seek revenge?

Mrs. Shepard has done it again, she has blown me speechless. She always seems to though, even with her other series Pretty Little Liars, but this time my praise is for her newer series The Lying Game


Hide and Seek continues following, Emma Paxton a foster child who was forced to take her twin sister, that she had never even met before place. In this installment of the series we learn more about that night at the canyon, as Emma comes closer to solving her sister's murder.

Along the way though she continues to fill Sutton's shoes. Emma goes to school as Sutton, hangs with Sutton's best friends, and even reluctantly continues in participating in The Lying game. The only person who knows about Emma is Ethan, Her current boyfriend. But they are both in the spotlight now as the Hollier High's new IT couple.

Emma is still on the search of Sutton's killer. She cleared her best friends Madeline and Charlotte, and Madeline's brother Thayer. Her newest suspects are Sutton's adoptive sister Laurel and her Father, Mr. Mercer.

Along the way Emma finds out some shocking secrets and though certain people seem to be a good person, that isn't always the case.

Hide and Seek is told from Sutton's point of view. After her death she was tethered to Emma, with no record of her previous life and going through a account of what is happening. As Emma uncovers major turning points in the murder investigation Sutton is throw into flash backs of the night she died. But they always end just in time to keep the killer a secret for a little while longer.

Mrs. Shepard certainly put me in suspense and craving more. 2013 can't come soon enough.

Next installment in the series: Coming out in 2012

I am not going to lie. I had to drag myself through the last one hundred pages of Reboot. I heard such great things that when I saw it at the book store I picked it up and figured it would get around to reading it eventually. I had really high hopes for it too and I was disappointed.

I liked the idea of the book. It was really cool. But I just moved slow in my opinion. The book really didn't start until I was three quarters of the way in.

From reading my other reviews it is probably easy to see that I am a sucker for romance, but Reboot just made me roll my eyes and bite through it. Don't get my wrong, I found Wren and Callum really adorable but it was cheesy. I especially how it started that Wren didn't need anyone but in the end she was clearly depending on Callum.

The idea behind Reboot is what really had me getting through it. I wanted to know what was going to happen, though I didn't like the overall plot I liked the setting.

I will read on in the series, because I am curious on how it is going to end. But I am not going to go into Rebel with as high as hopes as I did for Reboot.

Richelle really knows howto leave someone hanging
