There is something truly edgy and exciting about the way Tarryn writes, and I can’t wait to read more from her. Whilst I found the present day POV much slower and unexciting as the past-POV, I still ate up every twist and turn that the book took. Honestly, at the beginning, I found myself feeling disconnected from the story for a good chunk of the start and I almost hesitated reading more, but I am so, so glad I didn’t put it down. Overall, An Honest Lie took me on a wild ride. Rainy gets a text, and suddenly her world is tipped upside down once more, because she knows exactly what’s going to happen-and who they really want. One of her friends, Braithe, doesn’t come back to the hotel room. And after an eventful night there, it suddenly becomes clear that something bad is happening. But one thing after another leads her to going, pulling herself through loads of uncomfortable scenarios that she’d rather not be having, but finds herself going along with. Her past lays dormant there, and she knows that going back would be dangerous, we just don’t know how treacherous it can be. Only, once the group invite her on a girl’s trip to Vegas, she wants nothing to do with it. But Rainy is reluctant to get close to some of the Tiger Mountain women that are far from her cup of tea. Keen to fit in and take on the advice of her boyfriend, she begins adapting to a new friend group. Although, not everything about Tiger Mountain is a blessing. But escaping to live there was what she needed-what she had to do-in order to survive her past.
Rainy, our lead character, lives in a remote, off-the-grid place called Tiger Mountain. Looking for more great reads by Tarryn Fisher? Don’t miss The Wives and The Wrong Family.

But after a wild night, her friend Braithe doesn’t come back to the hotel room.Īnd then Rainy gets the text message, sent from Braithe’s phone: someone has her.
