About this item

Newlyweds Tricia and Ethan are searching for the house of their dreams.

But when they visit the remote manor that once belonged to Dr. Adrienne Hale, a renowned psychiatrist who vanished without a trace four years earlier, a violent winter storm traps them at the estate… with no chance of escape until the blizzard comes to an end.

In search of a book to keep her entertained until the snow abates, Tricia happens upon a secret room. One that contains audio transcripts from every single patient Dr. Hale has ever interviewed. As Tricia listens to the cassette tapes, she learns about the terrifying chain of events leading up to Dr. Hale’s mysterious disappearance.

Tricia plays the tapes one by one, late into the night. With each one, another shocking piece of the puzzle falls into place, and Dr. Adrienne Hale’s web of lies slowly unravels.

And then Tricia reaches the final cassette.

The one that reveals the entire horrifying truth.

Freida McFadden’s “Never Lie” is a psychological thriller that ensnares the reader in an intricate web of suspense and unexpected turns.

A good twist, but no Twister

I read this book in 2 sittings. I'm not the fastest reader but above average. It has a great flow and is definitely as addictive as it claims. Granted, I have insomnia and lie to my boyfriend that "reading helps me fall asleep." I'm just glad to have some me time to escape the daily grind.

About halfway, you start to question the authors abilities, but it's a pleasant surprise that it's not as elementary as it seemed. The writing is great to keep me entrapped, even after I thought I had it made. I just had to know if I was right. I wasn't, fortunately.
The character building was an 8/10. A lot of the same adjectives repeated, but the landscaping painted a beautiful mental picture. I would imagine the author is partial to nature vs. the city. It's wonderful when a book makes you feel closer to an author, even if it's only in your imagination.

I would never include a spoiler so instead I'll give some insight into my tastes. I only recently got into thriller/suspense. It's one of the first I've read and I'm encouraged to read more, not only in this genre, but from Freida McFadden. I got a nice welcome into the world of suspense when I'm typically partial to fantasy, motivational/self help, and educational.

Just when you think you've got it figured out... Absolutely AWESOME read.

I don't know how Freida manages to create such fascinating, suspenseful, and shocking masterpieces with each released book!
This is at least the tenth book I've read by her and I was sure I had this one figured out and it blew me away. I love her style. Creative genius!
I stumbled onto one of her books when my Kindle Unlimited recommended it to me and I was a teensy bit irritated because psychological thrillers aren't my thing and I couldn't understand why it was recommended to me. Then I noticed the rating... Then I read the reviews. Intrigued, I started it and couldn't put it down. I've been hooked on her books since. And after each one I always think "that was her best book yet!" Then I read the next one... She gets better and better. How does someone have unlimited fuel for creating brilliant pieces of art the way she does?!

5 star reading. One of the fast reading books kept my full attention through the book. If you love thrillers and are unexpected to know what the ending would be, this is a might read book.

I'm rating this book a 4.5 star. This was a phenomenal story, well at least the first half of the story but some of the plot twist werea little disappointing. The author is very good at character development a Nad know how to tell a story to draw the reader into her books. I'm looking forward to reading more books by her.

4 ⭐️ I did not see that one coming!

Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I loved this book! Good plot, good story.
Let me preface this by saying that I’m typically a dark romance reader… I like my books dark & spicy! However, every once in a while I need a palate cleanser. I read & loved The Inmate by Freida McFadden so I knew I wouldn’t be disappointed with another one of her books. I’ve seen Never Lie recommended in a couple book groups because of the “jaw dropping twist” so when I needed something different, I decided to jump right in. I can honestly say that the twist was very unexpected for me. Right from the beginning, I thought I’d had it all figured out. Based on other reviews and recommendations, I figured I was probably wrong. The twist was unexpected and really fit well with the story. Freida’s writing has a way of pulling me in and her books are generally fast-paced and make for an easy read. I really enjoyed this book & I definitely recommend it. I love a good, twisty read! This was easily a 4 ⭐️ read for me. In my opinion, it was more of a quick, enjoyable read rather than a story that becomes an obsession. This is why I chose 4⭐️ instead of 5⭐️!
‼️POSSIBLE SPOILERS BELOW!‼️

I loved the revelation about Ethan’s history! My dark romance heart was so excited about their HEA ????
