If You Lie by Caleb Stephens Book Review

Book Synopsis: A buried past. A new-age cult. A floating prison with no way off. 
Seven years ago, Olivia woke up in the trunk of a stranger’s car—and barely escaped with her life. She’s been looking over her shoulder ever since.

Now, Olivia is a true-crime podcaster on a mission to help other women avoid her fate. But years spent covering violence and crime have left her burned out. So when Olivia’s estranged sister Quinn invites her to reconnect on an exclusive cruise, she jumps at the chance for a break…only this trip won’t be the relaxing vacation she’s hoping for.

The ship is elegant, the meals are divine, and the people are friendly—maybe too friendly. But Quinn isn’t the sister Olivia remembers. And strange things are starting to happen that echo Olivia’s past in unsettling ways.

When someone on the ship goes missing, Olivia realizes she’s playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse. Only this time, she might not survive.

💭 Review: “While I really enjoyed this book, I for some reason, thought it would be even better! However, I didn’t see some of the twists coming and having the trapped setting PLUS cult aspect was such a thrilling pair! 

The narrator was very intriguing and I listened to hours at once which is not always easy to do! 

If you’re up for a quick thrill – this one is for you!”
