5.0 out of 5 stars A psychological thriller you can’t guess
Such a good book! The plot twist will have your head spinning! Beautifully written. I was oblivious until the last 5 chapters.
4.0 out of 5 stars It’s a twisty one
This book kept me hooked from start to finish! The twists and turns were phenomenal, making it an addictive, quick read that I couldn’t put down. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, McFadden threw in another curveball, leaving me completely stunned. (my guess was incorrect… per usual)The story follows newlyweds Tricia and Ethan, who find themselves stranded in a remote, snowed-in home once owned by a famous psychiatrist, Dr. Adrienne Hale. As Tricia stumbles across Hale’s old patient transcripts, she uncovers dark secrets that blur the lines between truth and lies. It’s a dual POV thriller that left me wanting to trust absolutely no one and honestly, these characters reinforced that lesson in every possible way.While I loved the suspense and the unraveling of the mystery, the characters themselves felt a little flat for me. I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them, but maybe that was intentional given the dark and unsettling tone of the book.Overall, Never Lie is perfect for fans of twisty psychological thrillers. If you enjoy being kept on the edge of your seat and love the feeling of having your mind blown, add this one to your tbr. Just don’t forget to question everything - because per usual, nothing is as it seems.
5.0 out of 5 stars shock
I would have never thought how two people who killed shared the same interest and fall in love each other. The suspense was intense and the twist was great.
3.0 out of 5 stars Dark and Disturbing
I liked McFadden’s book in the beginning. Intriguing premise: Newly-married Tricia and Ethan have a realtor appointment to see a well-priced stately manor that just might be their dream house. It’s huge, beautiful and filled with hidden rooms and secret spaces. So far, I’m in.A significant snowstorm develops and the realtor is a no-show. Forced to seek shelter, Tricia and Ethan decide to stay at the house overnight until the blizzard subsides. Tricia becomes increasingly alarmed and dislikes the foreboding atmosphere of the house, but Ethan is instantly charmed by it. They find unexpected food in the fridge and inexplicably decide to wear clothing belonging to the previous occupants.The previous owner, Dr. Adrienne Hale, was a renowned psychiatrist, who disappeared and is presumed dead under mysterious circumstances. Throughout this portion of the book I was thoroughly engaged. The missing clinician was dedicated and intelligent, treating troubled clients in her home. The remote and solitary setting is the perfect backdrop for this taut psychological thriller. The story moves back and forth between Dr. Hale’s life and her recorded sessions with her patients and present day with Tricia and Ethan temporarily staying in Dr. Hale’s home. Up to this point, I was completely invested in the story, so McFadden succeeded on that front.Then, a seemingly-innocuous event sets off a string of retaliatory acts, and the narrative veers off into an entirely different direction. The tone of the story suddenly takes a much darker turn. The reader soon realizes that nothing is as it seems and there is no one to root for in the tale. The big reveal is a shocking twist, that delivers genuine surprise, but I also found it to be deeply sad. I feared for Luke’s fate, and shook my head when good people were casually discarded and killed for simply being in the way. No empathy or heroism in these pages, just callous people trying to justify their malevolence. Not sure what McFadden’s intended message is. Everyone is capable diabolical deeds? I hope not. If there is anything redemptive to be found, it is the innocence of toddler Delilah presenting daisies to her mother with eager expectancy. The innocence is heartbreaking, especially considering that the last portion of the book seems to showcase darkness as if it was a competition to determine which character could be the most abhorrent.McFadden’s book is well-written, and was initially compelling, but when it ventured into disturbing territory with some particularly unsettling scenes, it was just off-putting.I’m holding out hope for Delilah, but was ultimately disappointed by the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read!
Great read!!! Read it in two days! A fun little mystery to indulge in! You think you have it figured out and then a big twist happens!
4.0 out of 5 stars A good read
Not as good as the housemaid series but still enjoyable . I thought I had figured out the plot twist early on, but I was definitely wrong. I only had a couple issues with this book. First of all I think the ending was unsatisfying . The characters were rewarded for their disturbing behaviors. I also did not like how Tricia was telling the story in first person. I really could not believe this was the same character from start to finish. This created a lot of holes and inconsistency for me. I still really enjoyed the book and found it entertaining.
5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book with unexpected twists!
Amazing book with unexpected twists! A very good read!
4.0 out of 5 stars Super easy read
So far I have enjoyed the twists in Freida McFadden as stories. They are not the most elaborate but I enjoy an easy read and this definitely has been one. Great story to get back I to reading. Was the twist at the end believable? No. But did I enjoy the journey? Absolutely!!!
If you love dark, twisty thrillers that keep u questioning everyone. This book is definitely for u.
Being snowed in at a stranger’s mansion sounds eerie enough… but what if that mansion belonged to a missing psychiatrist with secrets hidden in every corner? 👀📖 Plot SummaryPsychiatrist Tricia and her fiancé Ethan are house-hunting when they stumble upon a secluded mansion belonging to missing psychiatrist Dr. Adrienne Hale.Despite its eerie atmosphere, they become stranded there during a snowstorm. With no way to leave, Tricia begins exploring the house and discovers Dr. Hale’s old therapy tapes.As Tricia listens to them, she uncovers disturbing secrets about Adrienne’s life, her patients, and her mysterious disappearance. The deeper she digs, the more unsettling truths come to light — not only about Adrienne but also about Ethan, forcing Tricia to question the man she’s about to marry.The story twists and unravels in chilling ways, leading to shocking revelations about deception, hidden pasts, and survival.👥 Character BreakdownTricia – The protagonist. Newly married, cautious, and slightly anxious, but also resourceful. She’s determined to uncover the truth behind the tapes she finds in the abandoned mansion. Her perspective shapes most of the story.Ethan – Tricia’s husband, initially supportive and protective, but as secrets are uncovered, his character becomes increasingly suspicious and layered with hidden motives.Dr. Adrienne Hale – A brilliant but controversial psychiatrist who mysteriously disappeared. Though absent, she is central to the story through her therapy recordings and the dark history of her house.Supporting Patients (on tapes) – Adrienne’s former patients whose confessions reveal disturbing insights into her practice, her life, and eventually connect back to the central mystery.🎭 Themes of the BookDeception & Secrets – The novel thrives on lies — between couples, within families, and even professional boundaries. Every character harbors truths waiting to be exposed.Trust & Betrayal – A major theme is how fragile trust is, especially between partners. Tricia’s journey is as much about unraveling Adrienne’s mystery as it is about reassessing her own relationship.Isolation & Survival – The storm and the locked mansion amplify feelings of entrapment, forcing characters into confrontations with themselves and each other.Psychological Manipulation – Both Adrienne’s therapy sessions and Ethan’s behavior highlight the dangers of control, gaslighting, and psychological power.Identity & Hidden Pasts – The narrative examines how people conceal parts of their identity, sometimes to protect, sometimes to manipulate, and how those hidden pasts always resurface.📌 Quotes from the BookSome houses remember the people who lived in them.It’s the lies we tell ourselves that are the hardest to escape.The silence in the house is so heavy it feels like it’s pressing against my chest.Every locked door has a reason for being locked.Sometimes the people closest to us are the ones we should fear the most.📝 In ConclusionNever Lie by Freida McFadden is a chilling psychological thriller that blends isolation, deception, and shocking revelations into a story you won’t forget.With its snow-covered mansion setting, unreliable relationships, and jaw-dropping twists, it’s the perfect pick for fans who love being kept on edge until the very last page.This book reminds us that sometimes the greatest danger isn’t the storm outside — but the secrets hidden behind closed doors.Rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

I'm seldom surprised by a Twist in a book, as I read many of these types of stories. But Freedom McFadden did it again. She surprised me. This book was so good I couldn't put it down, meet Tricia newly married and her husband ethan. When they head out to look at a beautiful house, they get stuck there in a blizzard. The house happens to have been owned formerly by a woman who disappeared 3 years before. And Tricia is hoping to figure out what the police couldn't, where the missing woman went and who did it.
Exciting & unexpected!
Breathtaking... Read it in 3-4 days but you can actually read it way sooner... Could barely put it down 😄😍I just bought the Maid series as my next reads from her!Enjoy! ;)
