Story
Eve has a good life. She wakes up each day, kisses her husband Nate, and heads off to teach math at the local high school. All is as it should be. Except… Last year, Caseham High was rocked by a scandal involving a student-teacher affair, with one student, Addie, at its center. But Eve knows there is far more to these ugly rumors than meets the eye. Addie can’t be trusted. She lies. She hurts people. She destroys lives. At least, that’s what everyone says. But nobody knows the real Addie. Nobody knows the secrets that could destroy her. And Addie will do anything to keep it quiet…

Story
Simon and Vicky couldn’t seem more normal: a wealthy Chicago couple, he a respected law professor, she an advocate for domestic violence victims. A stable, if unexciting marriage. But one thing’s for sure: absolutely nothing is what it seems. The pair are far from normal, and one of them just may be a killer. When the body of a beautiful socialite is found hanging in a mansion in a nearby suburb, Simon and Vicky’s secrets begin to unravel. A secret whirlwind affair. A twenty-million-dollar trust fund about to come due.

Critic Reviews
"A gripping debut with a brilliant twist, I loved it." (BA Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors)
"For fans of twisty, dark thrillers, this is the one. Fabulously written voices and a plot that keeps you guessing until the very end." (Kate Hamer, author of The Girl in the Red Coat)
"Boldly plotted, tightly knotted - a provocative true-or-false thriller that deepens and darkens to its ink-black finale. Marvellous." (AJ Finn, author of The Woman in the Window)

True psychological thriller that messes with your
WTH have I just read????? My mind is still reeling! I love it when a book messes with my mind, and this must be one of the darkest, twistiest thrillers I have ever read. I am still trying to work out what just happened here!
Amongst the vast number of books that are marketed as psychological thrillers, Sometimes I Lie certainly lives up to its claim. Amber, the narrator of the story, tells us right from the start that she doesn’t always tell the truth – and with that the stage is set. What can you believe and what is a lie? That is the big question throughout the entire book, and I was quite often wrong in my assumptions. I will not go into the plot at all, since this is a book you should dive into blindly with all seat belts firmly fastened, as you will be in for some turbulence!
It is hard to believe that this is Feeney’s debut novel, as she employs just about every plot device the genre has to offer, and she does this very well. The story unfolds in three timelines – the now, as Amber Reynolds lies in a coma, able to hear those around her but unable to move or talk; the days leading up to the accident that put her in hospital; and diary entries from fifteen years ago. It doesn’t help that Amber is also experiencing strange dreams in her coma, which further blur the line between reality and lies. The frustration Amber feels as she is trapped in her own body and unable to reach out to anyone was well portrayed, as was the feeling of claustrophobia and fear as she slowly remembers the events of “before”. However, of all the timelines, I found the diary the most chilling, and if you read the book you will find out why. It was a very dark and disturbing thread that had me covered in goosebumps many times. The undercurrent of menace is always there, at one point culminating in a situation that had me truly terrified for all the people involved. Enough said.
I started out listening to the audiobook, but once things heated up I switched to the print version as I absolutely could not tear myself away and had to find out what would happen – and I read a lot faster than the narrator. My husband is still slightly miffed that I locked myself away in the bedroom with a Do Not Disturb sign, refusing to talk to anyone until I had found out the answers. Answers I could never have predicted, by the way, so cleverly had the author laid her traps. In fact, there are still things I am not sure I interpreted right, and I am just itching to discuss them with someone. Utterly brilliant!
In summary: there are three things you should know about Sometimes I Lie:
1) It is a dark and claustrophobic psychological thriller that firmly earns itself a place in the “twister hall of fame” for its many unpredictable twists that you will never be able to foresee.
2) It is totally addictive and will have you firmly hooked, so make sure you have lots of time to spare when you start reading it.
3) Don’t take anything for face value in this book, and don’t trust anyone!
Anyone looking for a true psychological thriller that messes with your mind – this is it, folks!

Hooked from the first paragraph!
What made the experience of listening to Sometimes I Lie the most enjoyable?
The narrator of this book really knows how to read a story! She has such a engaging manner about her, one that draws you one and leaves you wanting more and this, coupled with an incredible storyline, makes this book an absolute must read/listen!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sometimes I Lie?
I can't pinpoint just one. This story is gripping and full of twists that I didn't see coming. One of the best thrillers I have read in a very long time.
Which character – as performed by Stephanie Racine – was your favourite?
Definitely the main character
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
This was definitely a book I wanted to listen to in one sitting! I stayed up for hours listening to you, spell bound and waiting to see what the next twist would involve
Any additional comments?
Read it! I am definitely reading this one again.. I can not wait for Alice's next book

I found the novel, novel.
Any additional comments?
I found this work imaginative and fresh and not a simple rehash of something that I'd read before.
From almost page one my curiosity was ignited and was continually kept alive throughout the entire book, right up until the final page.
The Author allowed me to understand somethings before the protagonist did, while keeping others a secret to us both. This wasn't done 'artificially', but artfully.
Finally, the narrator was perfect for the voice of the novel.
