{my thoughts} - I have to admit that after watching the tv series this was not what I had expected. I did enjoy reading it though, I apologize for it taking me so long to complete, I think I fell into some kind of a funk.

This books is about two identical twin sisters that are separated as young children. One is raised by an adoptive family and the other is raised by their biological mother up until the mother drops off the radar and she ends up in foster care. They locate each other and correspond over the computer and through the phone and then decide to meet. The problem however is that they aren’t able to meet because the twin that had been adopted is dead and the story is written from her point of view from beyond the grave – or so to speak. That leaves it the job and obligation of the other twin to discover who killed her, why and what happened to her with little to no help. It’s got a good plot, nice mystery and its full of surprises. It is interesting to watch the one girl mold herself into her twin or attempt to in order to become her twin in a sense so that no one will discover that the other girl is missing. However, it leads her down a path that she isn’t ready to travel and it makes her rethink why she is there taking part in such a disaster, but then she remembers that she was cheated out of getting to know her sister so now she wants to do what she can in order to find out what happened. She learns that she has no real allies in this quest and those that she didn’t think she could trust she can and those that she thought she should trust she can’t. Its a huge web of lying, deceit and misconception that in the end will hopefully lead to some answers and the truth of what happened to her sister.

{reason for reading} – I read it because I likes the {pretty little liars} series. I like how when books are turned into shows or movies how they are changed so much that it gives you a different take on the story and so far I like the take on this story as it makes sense and it is entertaining to read. It seems to be bringing back my passion to reading mysteries. ( )

I understand now why everyone was telling me to read the book and not just watch the show. So I will tell all of you now...The show is TOTALLY different from the book!!
Sutton Mercer is the narrator in the book, and as you will find out from the beginning; she's dead. So there is the first major difference from the show. We still get that Emma is in foster care and her foster brother is a jerk. Emma finds out that she has a twin due to a video showed to her and her foster mother by her foster brother. Emma then finds her on face book of all places and sends her a message.
After a little while Emma receives a reply from who she believes is Sutton and then heads to Arizona, to meet the twin she never knew. Emma arrives and goes to the designated meeting spot, but there is no Sutton. Emma is instead found by Sutton's friends. Emma is dragged to a party where she steps into pretending to be Sutton.
Emma continues the "game" as Sutton, going so far as to go to her house and take up being Sutton. Emma goes to school as Sutton, plays tennis as Sutton and pretty much just takes over her life. A little bit into the book ( I believe a few chapters) you learn the truth that Yes, Sutton is dead, and who ever killed her knows that Emma is there and wants Emma to continue to play Sutton.
As I said, Sutton is narrating the story, so when Emma is going through the days as her, you get little flashes of Sutton's death as flashbacks from Sutton, but since she can't remember anything specific you never do find out who it was.
With the book being narrated by the dead twin, I found myself lost more than once. And really, I understand being dead and not really remembering anything, but you would think that Sutton would remember a lot of more thing than she does. Like really, how could she not know why she is friends with the girls that are her BFFs? All you get from Sutton is feelings and that she knows that she should know such and such about this person. I found the whole thing a little hard to believe, how would a sister, parents, best friends and even a boyfriend not know that the person they are talking to isn't who it should be? I like to believe that even if I had a twin, my family and friends would know if it was actually me or not.
While I wasn't too thrilled with the book in itself, I will be getting the 2nd and 3rd one in the series just so i can find out exactly who killed Sutton, and if anyone ever figures out that Emma isn't really Sutton. ( )

I enjoyed the tv show better but still a good book. ( )

Don't really know what I think. I liked it and want to see how this is going to go. But saw the first season of the tv-series first, and it feels like the basic story is different even though it's the same series. Shouldn't it be the same? ( )

Katie liked that she was kept wondering what happened throughout the book.

Emma's mother, Becky, left her at a friend's house one day for a sleepover and she never came back. She was abandoned at a young age age and she didn't really need to look too far for why. She still wonders where she is and if she is still alive but she wasn't really what you would call a stable mother. She would have these moments where she would be greatly depressed and start crying uncontrollably. She would wonder away while Emma had to grow anxious with worry because she doesn't know where her mother is. And for a five year old that's a lot to take in.

Emma has lived in foster homes after foster homes because of her mom. She wishes so much for the perfect family. For a mom, a dad, and siblings who love her. Unfortunately that wish comes with a price. She sees a video online, a disturbing video, of someone who looks exactly like her that looks like she was strangled to death. She finds out that her name is Sutton and she is pretty well to do. This is girl, however impossible as it can be is her twin sister... her family. So she journeys to find her but she gets quite the shock that her dear old sister is dead. She must find out who killed her sister before they do the same to her.

Sutton doesn't really remember who she is. She knows she goes where Emma goes and sees what Emma sees. She knows she's dead. She can see her life through Emma's and it doesn't look pretty. Her friend's play awful pranks on everyone and she seems to be the worse one of them all. There are so many possibilities with who killed her. The book keeps you guessing all the time. "It's got to be him. But, wait! she looks suspicious." It's reveal is oh so satisfying. It's a pure evil ending. The person who seems least suspect looks like the killer. But then there are also like 5 other possibilities. Love that.

Now being Sutton is not all it's cracked up to be as you could tell. She's a witch for lack of a better word. She's the leader in a little gang that plays the lying game. They dare each other and scare each other thinking that there is something wrong with them. It's pretty messed up and Emma's just this nice girl who wants a family! *cue aw's* Sutton's friends are exactly like her. Laurel her sister wants to be her. She has a boyfriend that she so doesn't want to kiss because kissing your sister's boyfriend especially since she's dead is creepy.

Oh! Most important thing that I forgot to say was that she switched places with her. Well Sutton is still dead but Emma has to become Sutton. Freaky I know. Back to the boyfriend... she doesn't want to kiss him because she rather have Ethan Landry kissing her! He is the brooding, loner type and she and Sutton must of had a thing going on or maybe it's just because he's not the type to hang out with her. There are so many things that come up that make you question everything. Such a great book. Job well done Shepard for a great mystery although the first chapter is not that great and I hear this is a television show but Sutton is actually alive. Don't want to watch it now. I never want to read a book that becomes a television show because I know that spells trouble. (I'll probably do it anyway when I read Pretty Little Liars. I know I'm hypocritical). I think this series has so much possibility. It was worth the wait from the library. Need the second book now!!!

http://shesgotbooksonhermind.blogspot.com/ ( )

It was a good read, I give it 3.5 stars. I am going to read the next one now. ( )

Pretty decent. Not the worst series... I can see the appeal. ( )

A fun read. Lots of similarities between this and Pretty Little Liars. This was a bit slow but a good start to the series. I'm looking forward to the next one. ( )

A reader might think that Sutton Mercer and Emma are alter egos of the same person in the first couple of pages of the book. But it becomes quickly apparent that both of them are or were real, because in fact Sutton, one of the identical twins, is dead, but hangs around as a ghostly entity watching Emma’s attempts to solve the crime. At least in book 1, Sutton does not have physical powers to help Emma. When Emma shows up, much to the surprise of the killer or killers of identical twin Sutton, Emma’s life is also in danger.

This is a “cool” young adult novel I will recommend to my 13-year-old son. The language can be more direct that some parents would like, the acts hinted at objectionable, but it is close to reality.

My problem with the book was one of my own making. I saw a blurb about the book and immediately downloaded a Kindle sample. I decide to buy based on my reading of the book without looking at more information about the book. So I was surprised at the non-ending. Because this is a book in a series and I was not paying attention. I sort of feel trapped into buying the rest of the books in the series. On the positive side for the author, I feel trapped by Shepard’s interesting writing style.

So, read the book descriptions before buying. ( )

I thought this would be a great little crime story as it is a popular book in our library. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver. The concept was intriguing and the book started fairly well, but it really lagged in the middle as the reader became bogged down in Sutton's frivolous life-style. It was only at the end of the book that the murder was revisited in any depth but the crime wasn't solved. Obviously, this was the first book in a series but I'm not interested in reading any more. I can see the plot being strung out to suit a teenage audience. ( )

I loved The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. Sara Shepard is the bestselling author of the Pretty Little Liars books and knows how to captivate her audience. This novel is about a girl named Sutton who uses her twin sister Emma to catch her killer. Emma leaves her foster home and travels to Arizona so she pretend to be her dead sister and learn who murdered her. This tale is perfect for anyone who loves mystery and suspense. This book is also full of Drama as Emma tries to keep up the charade and navigate through all the secrets and lies. Emma is a likable character who is sweet and carrying and who has to try and keep up with Sutton's rich friends while she pretends too be like them. One problem i had with this book is that it is the first in the series and Emma doesn't make much headway on finding her killer. You have to read the other books to find out what happened to Sutton. This book is 307 pages and is a fast paced and enjoyable read! I would recommend it to any teen girl! ( )

I tried hard to get into this book but the genre I think is just not my thing. Considering I couldn't read 'The Lovely Bones' or 'PLL' (which the back-flap describes this book sort of as) I expected this. I just felt like everything was over explained and I just couldn't get into it. Cover is gorgeous though. ( )

https://birdslovewords.wordpress.com/2015/06/18/review-the-lying-game-by-sara-sh...

Okay – so I might have not been the best at reading the blurb – when I finished the book I immediately thought that it read like an episode of Pretty Little Liars – and lo and behold the book was by the same author. I found the book frustrating – the story seemed intriguing and I was excited to see where it was going but was left disappointed. I didn’t feel there was enough information revealed to keep me intrigued in the story.

In an interesting dynamic we follow the life of foster kid Emma who after seeing a disturbing online video showing a girl who looks just like her, realises she has a long lost identical twin sister. Emma contacts her twin Sutton and travels cross-country to meet her only to discover that Sutton is missing. Readers know that Sutton has been murdered – the book is narrated from Sutton’s point of view as a ghost as she follows Emma around unable to communicate with her.

Sutton’s friends and family misplace Emma for Sutton, and Emma is forced to pretend to be Sutton while she uncovers the truth of what happened to her lost sister. However, unlike Emma, Sutton is the queen of mean – the leader of a notorious clique of girls known for their cruel pranks. Emma finds it hard to slip into Sutton’s role as Queenbee and starts to suspect that one of Sutton’s close friends might be behind Sutton’s disappearance.

I struggled to believe some of the plotlines in the story – I would want to believe that if one of my closest friends were replaced with an identical twin with a completely different personality I would know the difference. I find it hard that Sutton’s family and friends wouldn’t notice subtle differences between Emma and Sutton. I also struggled with the lack of parental concern and involvement throughout the book. We learn that Sutton has been in trouble with the police before and is regularly in trouble at school, but her parents act naive to the ways of their oldest daughter and let her run wild. The book’s plotline read something out of an episode of ‘Days of Lives’ and was completely unrealistic – for good characters we can suspend some belief but this book had neither good characters nor plot.

Emma was a really likeable character. She is kind, considerate and appreciative of her life as she uncovers information about Sutton. She struggles learning about Sutton’s cruelty, choices and actions and has difficulty pretending to act like her. Some of Sutton’s friends seem genuine – especially Madeline who was clearly closest to Sutton before her murder, while others just followed Sutton waiting for her to slip up so they could take her spot as Queenbee. I found the characters clichéd and lacking depth – I would have liked to see a little more development with some of the characters Emma meets – especially Sutton’s (now Emma’s) boyfriend.

I was highly disappointed when the book ended – it spent a lot of time talking about Emma’s fears and highlighting interactions with Sutton’s friends and then bam – glosses over Emma revealing a major secret. I felt we didn’t learn anything along the way either – It felt as though the first few chapters revealed the most clues about Sutton’s death and the rest of the book just follows Emma as she flaps around pretending to fit into Sutton’s life. I wouldn’t add this book to your read pile. ( )

Short Review: Well since i finished PLL i figured i should tackle another series by Sara. This has a different feel to it than PLL. I like the storyline. The twist at the end nailed it thou. I would like to see a bit more of Sutton's before death life, maybe that'll happen in book 2. This is a it easily to follow than PLL too since there really is only 1 POV.

Review In GIF Form


( )

The prologue pulled me in. It's from the point of view of one of the twins, who is dead. I love the way [a:Sara Shepard|93970|Sara Shepard|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1229580414p2/93970.jpg] has Emma almost slipping up at every turn. Very realistic of the situation. The whole book is just and introduction to the main characters from a vague- kinda learning as you go type way. Which keeps the reading only seeing from Emma's perspective. The mystery of who strangled Emma in Charlotte's house is the only one that hasn't been solved (with the exception of who killed Sutton) and will ultimately lead to the killer. I guess my only real problem with the book is that it is number one of seven in the series and is just the beginning. There really isn't that much information being shared with the reader as of yet. I do really like that every once and a while Sutton's 'ghost' speaks up for us to hear. ( )

This book is not a typical long-lost twin sisters find each other after a lifetime apart kind of story. Emma Paxton, a foster child since age 5, discovers she had a twin sister she never knew about. She travels to Arizona to meet her, Sutton Mercer, only to find out that she is dead, and no one knows. Emma must assume the role of her sister and find out who killed her. Shepard writes the book with 2 different points of view: Emma and ghost Sutton. I liked the idea of 2 narratives and getting to hear the thoughts of both twins, but at some times it can be confusing as to who is speaking. Another thing, I found it strange that ghost Sutton remembers her whole life except how she died. I don't really see the point of this, because even if Sutton knew who killed her, it's not like she could tell Emma or anything. I did like how as the story progressed, Emma discovered new information and secrets of every character. It seemed like everyone had secrets, even agendas, of their own. From Sutton, her friends, to her own sister and parents, everyone had things to hide.

One thing that bothered me was that Emma did not seem affected much by Sutton's death. Yeah, she didn't really know her, but Sutton was her twin sister. You would think she would be a little more affected. Emma just stepped into Sutton's life and began to uncover the identity of the killer, not concerned about her dead sister. One story that really intrigued me was Thayer, Madeline's brother, who is missing. The author hints of Sutton's possible connection with him throughout the book. It makes me very interested to what Sutton did to him, considering she didn't seem like the nicest or most caring person.

I give this book a 3.5 because it has a good concept and good characters, but I felt that the story didn't develop enough by the end of the book. It left me hanging and set up to read the next book, which I will probably do. I just felt like Emma didn't do much to narrow down the list of possible killers, and by the end of the book, you were lead to suspect everyone, even Sutton's close friends and family. ( )

It's been a long time since I've read an entire book in one sitting. I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed this. ( )

I am a fan of the television series The Lying Game but reading the novel is based off made me realized how much the series really deviated from the book. I really wish that the series could have followed the book much more closely than it has.

The Lying Game begins with Emma Paxton being shown a snuff video on YouTube by her her foster brother, Travis. It's of a blindfolded young girl, tied to a chair, being strangled with her silver necklace. The video ends just as a figure takes of the blindfold from the dead girl's face. On closer inspection, Emma realizes that the girl bears an uncanny resemblance to...her.

Emma decides to use Facebook to investigate and finds Sutton Mercer: her twin sister. She Facebook messages Sutton and gets the response back that she wants to see Emma to begin the long awaited bonding process. Emma takes off to Arizona but Sutton doesn't show. But Emma meets up with one of her friends who cannot tell the difference between the two and Emma, having no choice, pretends to be Sutton.

However, Emma receives a note saying that Sutton is dead and she needs to keep on pretending to be Sutton or else, she'll follow her sister. Have I mentioned that Sutton's spirit is narrating this story?

First of all, Sutton's dead. Her spirit is the narrator. There is re-coning that if you tried. I like that. It shocked me when I first started reading. Then, this little conspiracy that quietly emerge from the book. All of the people closest to Sutton, including her sister Laurel, had a reason to want her dead. It was so intense. I can't wait for the next one! ( )
