First Lie Wins: Reese's Book Club: A Novel

Just wow. This story is a spinetingling, suspenseful romance with lots of intrigue and twists and turns, and I really enjoyed it. It not only left me with a book hangover, but I found myself going back over a couple of chapters. I also enjoyed the way the author unveiled backstory a little at a time. We read this novel for our book club and we all enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Very entarteining read. Fast paced, engaging. Plot well structured and easy to follow, even in the flashbacks.Lovable morally grey characters.Satisfying ending.

I loved this book. This is my first read from this author and I can’t wait for her next book to release. I enjoyed the Evie and Devon’s relationship, and the love story for Evie and Ryan. The plot twists! I was surprised by the Mr. Smith reveal. Definitely a share.

I'd give 4 stars to the book iteslf. Is it a book spending money on? I'd give that a 1/2. So 3 it is.I wanted to check this out from the library, but my situation was time sensitive and there was a very long wait. It was a fun book. Worth the read, but definitely not worth buying and owning a copy. I'm picky about books that are worth spending actual money on though. If buying books is your thing.....This is a rather entertaining book. You do need a suspension of disbelief, but if you can get to that it's a really fun read. There are so many improbable/questionable things, but somehow the aurhor made me not care about them and want to take the ride.Characters are developed nicely enough. There are lots of twists, some cleverly moving the story in an interesting direction. Beyond plot, there is just something about the way this book is layed out that makes it fun. I love the timing of this book. The author managed to give me exactly the right information at exactly the right time. I figured things out just before I read it. So it was fun figuring it out but not so early that it became tiring and dull. This happened at several points throughout the book. It was actually pretty impressive how the author was able to work everything through the plot in the way she did.

Kept me interested. It was a quick read but enjoyable enough to keep reading. Great twisted story plot and summer read.

Don't do many reviews on books besides the great ones. This was a fantastic read and time spent every flip of the page just keeps you ineaged. First time with this writer and it's been a wonderful change. Thoroughly enjoyed this read!

This is an exciting story that I couldn’t put down. From the first few pages, I was hooked. The characters are well developed and relatable. The author does an excellent job of keeping the intrigue and weaving several stories together. I’m planning on reading again just to enjoy it in a new light now I know how it ends. This book is why I love to read.

Evie Porter is a woman of many personas who completes covert tasks for her mysterious employer, Mr. Smith. . Her latest assignment targets Ryan Sumner, a man who is keeping his own secrets. But this job is different for Evie, and her most dangerous one to date because she is being closely watched by her employer and is developing feelings for Ryan. Despite her growing attachment, Evie knows that to stay alive and ultimately have the "normal" life she's been craving, she must stay one step ahead of the devious game that unfolds while keeping her feeling for Ryan at bay. Balancing the demands of her current task with the shadows of her past, Evie must outsmart everyone to stay alive and secure a promising future.I would have given this a 3 but added a star because the writing is really really good. The author does a great job of brining the action to life and creating a 3-D story for us. This was a fast read; great writing with good characters. I wasn't bored and kept wanting to go back to the book after taking a break (more out of morbid curiosity about what happens than attachment to the characters and plot) , but the plot was a little strange and it took a lot for me to wrap my brain around it. Also the flashbacks were utterly confusing - too many characters and subplots for me to keep track of. Also, there was a lot of explaining that needed to be done at the end to wrap it up neatly.
