    About this ebook

    Jennifer Shaw Wolf keeps readers on their toes in another dark, romantic story of murder and secrets.

    Jaycee and Rachel were best friends. But that was before. Before that terrible night at the old house. Before Rachel shut Jaycee out. Before Jaycee chose Skyler over Rachel. Then Rachel is found dead. The police blame a growing gang problem in their small town, but Jaycee is sure it has to do with that night at the old house. Rachel's text is the first clue--starting Jaycee on a search that leads to a shocking secret. Rachel's death was no random crime, and Jaycee must figure out who to trust before she can expose the truth.

      Yes, the heroine was a bit annoying in the beginning and yes, it dragged a little toward the end, but overall Dead Girls Don't Lie was an amazing, entertaining read. I enjoyed it.
    • 5/5
      Held my interest throughout.
    • 3/5
      I love a good mystery and I think that's one genre that is severely lacking in YA lit so I was excited to read this one. While it was somewhat entertaining, it just didn't have the level of suspense or mystery that I was hoping for. It wasn't a bad book. It just wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be.

      As far as the mystery itself goes, I didn't really know where things were going in the beginning but I had it all figured out by the halfway point. There were still some details that were surprising and I think some people may find the villain(s?) to be a surprise as well.

      I think this book really tried to be more suspenseful than it actually was. There were some genuinely creepy scenes and situations for Jaycee but I never really felt that ramp up of danger and excitement that I feel with really great mysteries.

      Jaycee herself was one of my least favorite parts of this book. She was indecisive and insecure and annoyed me throughout the book. I get that she was put in situations where she didn't know what the right thing to do was, but I had to read her whine about it over and over. I just didn't really like Jaycee all that much. I also really questioned her judgement when it came to people and who to trust. There seemed to be red flags waving all over the place that she just never saw and that was frustrating to me as a reader.

      I did like that there were issues of race and economic disparity between the residents of the town and the Mexican migrant workers hired to work the local farms. I think that could have been explored a little bit more. I liked the idea that people should be judged on who they are and their motivations rather than only on where they're from or what they've done in the past.

      Overall, this one was just so-so for me. I enjoyed it but it wasn't as great as I was hoping it would be. If you're looking for the next great mystery, this probably isn't it. This will be an enjoyable read as long as your expectations aren't too high.
    • 1/5
      I figured it out way too early . . .
    • 5/5
      great book and love how it's so mysterious. one of my favorites.....??
    • 5/5
      Wow. That's all I can't mumble to say. This book is perfect. A piece of perfection. With equal amounts of pleasure, and pain. I found something about life through this piece of writing, to always form your own opinions.
    • 4/5
      Right before Rachel was killed she sent her best friend Jaycee a text asking her for help, and she ignored it. Now Jaycee must figure out what happened to Rachel or she will never be able to live with herself. Who would have wanted Rachel dead? There is handsome Eric who has been Jaycee's crush forever, but Rachel spent New Year's Eve with him. What about Skylar, Eric's quiet younger brother who was with Jaycee on the night Rachel died and is the reason she ignored her text. Then there are the Hispanic migrant workers in town that nobody seems to trust including the enigmatic Eduardo who seemed to have some connection to Rachel and has a huge chip on his shoulder. Why did Rachel change so much in the months before her death? Piercings, dyed hair, and revealing clothing had never been a part of Rachel's life before their visit to the abandoned house where Rachel had seen something that made her scream and come away covered in blood.

      This is a good thriller about guilt and the lengths that it can make us go to find the truth - a good but sad story.
