Dangerous Lies
By Becca Fitzpatrick
Genre: Young Adult Thriller
Personal Rating: 10/10

I have been waiting to read this book for so long! Becca Fitzpatrick is one of my all time favorite authors and this is her newest novel that actually came out mid November, but I haven't been able to get my hands on a copy until now. I love Becca Fitzpatrick's books because they are exciting, fun, scary, intense, and pretty much anything else you could want in a young adult novel. This one did not disappoint.

Stella Gordan is in the Witness Protection Program. Stella isn't even her real name, it's a name the government gave her, along with a completely new identity. Stella witnessed a terrible crime and is forced to relocate to a terrifyingly small down in the middle of Nebraska. Stella doesn't want to be there, but in order to remain safe he has to completely give up her old life. She doesn't plan on being in Nebraska long, nor dose she plan on caring for any of the locals. But then their's Chet--the
neighbor who becomes the closest friend she's ever had. And Carminia--her course but loving guardian. But as Stella grows for comfortable in the small down, the danger from her past begins to catch up with her.

Overall, I adored this book. The main character bugged me to no end at the start of the novel but she grew and changed so much by the end--exactly what I like to see in a character. The author did an amazing job painting the picture of small town life in a place like Thunder Basin, Nebraska. The plot isn't as scary or mysterious as her previous work--like Black Ice--but I overall was not disappointed in the story, the setting, the characters, or the overall writing. It was a wonderfully entertaining read.
