TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE by April Henry

*Thank you to Goodreads giveaway for my copy.

I always look forward to books by April Henry. TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE did not disappoint. Filled with twists and turns, there's something for everyone.

A group of teens on their way to a drama contest are forced to stop at an out of the way motel because of a nasty snowstorm. The place is surprisingly large with space as a conference venue, but it is rundown and virtually deserted. Shortly after registering for rooms, another group of high school students arrives. They are headed to a robotics competition.

As the guests get to know one another, they learn there were once two murders in the motel. At first it seems fascinating, but with the loss of cell phone service and eventually power and heat, news of the long-ago murders increases tension among the guests.

The two groups of teens gather in a common room to play board games. Since the game selection doesn't look appealing, someone suggests playing Two Truths and a Lie. After a few rounds the clues start sounding a bit strange and even frightening. A Ouiji board attracts some attention, but the questions asked result in even more disturbing answers. The group abandons the game and decides to head to their rooms.

What follows is a series of terrifying events. One of the girls is found hung in a conference room area. She is dead and speculation begins about suicide or murder. There appears to be another victim when one of the girls' rooms is discovered filled with blood spatter but no body. The motel's owner sets off through the snow to get the police while everyone else hunkers down as they try to determine who the killer could be. 

TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE is trademark April Henry with suspense and drama guaranteed to keep the pages turning.
