The Secrets of Lily Graves by Sarah Strohmeyer
Publication Date: May 13, 2014
Summary: With the intrigue of Pretty Little Liars and plenty of romance, bestselling author Sarah Strohmeyer weaves a story of secrets and lies - set in a funeral parlor.
Growing up in a house of female morticians, Lily Graves knows all about buried secrets. She knows that perfect senior-class president Erin Donohue isn't what she seems. She knows why Erin's ex-boyfriend, hot football player Matt Houser, broke up with her. And she also knows that, even though she says she and Matt are just friends, there is something brewing between them - something Erin definitely did not like.
But secrets, even ones that are long buried, have a way of returning to haunt their keeper.
So when Erin is found dead the day after attacking Lily in a jealous rage, Lily and Matt's safe little lives, and the lives of everyone in their town of Potsdam, begin to unravel. And their relationship - which grew from innocent after-school tutoring sessions to late-night clandestine rendezvous - makes them both suspects.
As her world crumbles around her, Lily must figure out the difference between truth and deception, genuine love and a web of lies. And she must do it quickly, before the killer claims another victim.
My Rating: 5/5 Stars
My Review: I loved this book. It was actually pretty slow in the beginning for me and I really thought I was going to end up hating it, but it really delivered. About halfway through the book, I had a serious suspicion about who the killer actually was and I was right! There is a giant twist at the end, which I of course won't spoil, but it is well worth the read. There is mystery, romance, drama, and humor. It was a pretty fast read for me but I enjoyed every second of it and would highly recommend this book to anyone, especially those interested in mysteries.
