Review: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston

You meet a stranger at a party.

She looks like you. Even has your name...

She's here to take something you have.

So how far will you go to protect it?

Evie Porter has everything a girl could want: a doting boyfriend, a house with a picket fence, a fun group of friends.

The only catch: Evie Porter doesn't exist.

First comes the identity. Once she's given a name and location by her employer, she learns everything there is to know about the town and the people in it.

Then the mark: Ryan Sumner.

The last piece of the puzzle is the job. For Evie, this job feels different. Ryan has gotten under her skin and she's started to picture another kind of life for herself - one where her boss doesn't pull the strings.

But Evie can't make any mistakes. Because the one thing she's worked her entire life to keep clean, the one identity she could always go back to - her real identity - just walked right into this town. A woman, who looks just like her, has stolen her name - and she wants more. As Evie's past begins to catch up with her, can she stay one step ahead to save her future?

I loved this book!! I could't put it down! You could tell from the beginning that Evie was up to no good, quite what the no good was was to be revealed - and the reveal was SO good!

Just to put it out there - I am awful at actually reading blurbs so usually have no idea what the books about! This was brilliant, as I was reading I gathered that Evie should not have been getting as attached to Ryan as it seemed that she was.

I really found that I liked Evie as we were discovering more about her 'actual' life and loved the relationship that she had with Devon. Ryan seemed to be a good guy but there was times that we saw different sides to him which made me seem to dislike him.

I loved how the storyine developed and it seemed as though we were going in one direction - however it was going completely in another direction which was brilliant!! It kept me guessing along the way as to what this 'job' was actually about. Even Evie wasn't 100% sure what her boss's endgame was.

To say that this is a debut - it is an incredible debut and I'm excited to read more from Ashley Elston.
