So many twists and turns and goodness and lies and deceit abound in this book. Chloe is a car accident and awakes in the hospital after being in a coma. Now she is surrounded by people who claim to be her family but she has no memory of them or of her life. When she is released from the hospital she goes home with them and even though they give her snippets of her so-called life. She is definitely uncomfortable and knows there are lies and darkness but does not know why. Twists and turns kept me on the edge and turning the pages faster than I thought possible. Definitely a recommendation from me! **Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Okay I admit it, I read some of the other reviews before writing mine. I really wanted to know how others felt about this book because was conflicted and flustered and all a flutter. The book?? Man I loved it I haven't read this author before so I was quite surprised when she came into my world with this story. I love me some action and suspense, throw in the amnesia victim who doesn't remember anything but someone is dead and I am in like flynn!! Chloe wakes up from said crash with no memory. Her family?? Truth?? Okay forget all of that and focus on this key fact that author's forget, when they tell us it's a suspense. . . we want suspense and MAN does this author provide it. This author gives us characters that don't sit on their morals and wait for the police to do the work, not Ms Cloe. Nope no siree she went and found her won answers. Love her strength, desperation and determination. Mostly I like that this author brought a true suspense to the table and kept us twisting and turning until the very end. This story is well written and has you jumping from one person to the next as the culprit and enjoying this author's ability to string you along and you read between the lies to get to the truth.

Between the Lies starts with a terrifying idea and builds from there into a fast paced thriller that kept me guessing. Chloe wakes from a coma with no memory of what happened to her or even who she is. As if that's not bad enough, the more time that passes, the more she's convinced that those she should trust most are lying to her. Unreliable narrators can be quite effective in psychological thrillers and Chloe is certainly unreliable with her lack of memory and strange dreams, but she's not the only one. It seems that everyone around her is keeping some secret or other from her, and their reasons may or may not be in her best interest. I did figure it out before the big reveal, at least in part, but the thing is I thought I had the answer more than once only to be led in another direction, so getting the answer ahead of time didn't diminish my enjoyment. In fact, it made me want to keep going to see if I had it right. All in all, the story held my interest with its many secrets and twisted journey to the truth. Then we get one final twist that definitely had me sitting up and taking notice. The whole thing comes together perfectly and I recommend this one to fans of the genre.
