The eerie setting and unsettling tension in this thriller pulled me in from the start, and after a shocking turn of events, I was turning the pages so fast to uncover what happened! I had my theory on which way I thought this was going, then Jessie pulled the rug out from under me! This was a layered, complex YA thriller that you will gobble up. I enjoyed the depths of each character, too—so much doubt was cast! There is a storyline involving one character's health, in particular, that was used so excellently. Really enjoyed this one!

Thank you Melissa de la Cruz Studio and Netgalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. I finished this in one day, couldn’t put it down! Amanda is struggling, her sister has spent there years being charged and on trial for murder. Amanda is the one who turned her in. To handle the guilt and stress she created an anonymous TikTok documenting the trial. Six months ago Vince’s mom was arrested for murder, she had the weapon and was soaked in blood. Vince doesn’t believe she’s guilty. Now Amanda is returning to spend time with her Summer friends, she hasn’t seen them in three years. Vince hasn’t spoken to her in months. Now they’re going their friends Cole and Mal believe they have a way to prove Vince’s mom’s innocence. The problem is Vince doesn’t know if he wants to drag his family through things again. And Amanda would have to give up her anonymity. Is it worth it? But when Amanda wakes up at another murder scene with no memory of what happened they may not have a choice if they want to prove her innocence as well. The problem is Amanda doesn’t know if she’s innocent. And can Vince really trust her? A thrilling fast paced mystery that will have readers consuming it! I loved that it also involved multiple mysteries, who killed the current victim, who killed Royden Das (the man Vince’s mother is accused of murdering), and years ago did Mal’s ancestor really commit suicide? Everyone had something to hide and secrets they’re keeping! Perfect for mystery fans! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to read it again!

This one had so many twists and turns that kept me guessing until the last page - I couldn't put this one down! I felt it was relatable with the social media tie-in and that made it feel a lot like Good Girl's Guide to Murder but with TikTok instead of a podcast! The paranomal aspect wasn't really my thing, but I know so many of my 7th grade thriller lovers who would devour this one! Thanks so much for this ARC - Weaver's an author I have my eye on!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This book had plenty of twists and turns since it takes place in an old hotel that’s being renovated. Amanda, one of the main characters, is prone to seizures and with all the craziness going on; starts to second guess herself.

Lie Until it's True is a YA thriller with lots of twists and turns.
I enjoyed the setting: an old, creepy hotel where a murder has taken place 6 months earlier.
After 2 years, Amanda's sister is found not guilty of murder. But Amanda is immediately thrust back into the spotlight as her friends try to solve another crime.
This one kept me guessing.
Thanks to Netgalley and Disney Publishing for an early copy for review.
