Lana Granger lives a life of lies. She has told so many lies about where she comes from and who she is that the truth is like a cloudy nightmare she can't quite recall. About to graduate from college and with her trust fund almost tapped out, she takes a job babysitting a troubled boy named Luke. Expelled from schools all over the country, the manipulative young Luke is accustomed to controlling the people in his life. But, in Lana, he may have met his match. Or has Lana met hers? When Lana's closest friend, Beck, mysteriously disappears, Lana resumes her lying ways - to friends, to the police, to herself. The police have a lot of questions for Lana when the story about her whereabouts the night Beck disappeared doesn't jibe with eyewitness accounts. Lana will do anything to hide the truth, but it might not be enough to keep her ominous secrets buried: someone else knows about Lana's lies. And he's dying to tell.… (meer)

Great book. Sort of had it figured out on disc 7 (of 9) and then the ending blew me away! ( )

In the Blood by Lisa Unger is a 2014 Gallery Books publication.

Riveting! Gripping! Unputdownable!!

Lana has a closet full of secrets- secrets that she tells lies to cover-up- and she’s pretty good at keeping her lies straight and her secrets guarded…

Until she takes a job babysitting an eleven-year-old who is too unnervingly clever for his own good. It is quite possible that Lana has finally met her match!

At the same time, Lana’s friend, Beck, has disappeared. Because Lana's statements to the police aren't exactly truthful, and because this is not the first time Lana has been closely associated with a missing person, she might be a prime suspect... Again.

I really like this author, so I always make to sure to get a copy of her latest releases- then, for some reason, I tend to hoard them. I have no idea why I do that, but as a result, I have found several of her books on my reading list that have been languishing on my Kindle for years.

This summer I’m still working through all my various reading lists and Kindle devices, doing a major purge so I can be a more organized reader. Anything by Lisa Unger is obviously going to make the cut, but when I came to this book and had to decide how far up on the list it should go, I noticed it received all kinds of accolades back in 2014.

I was so intrigued, I got to work on this one right away!!

I know this is only June, and I know this book is seven/eight years old- but it might be one of my favorite reads, in the 'Thriller' category, of the year so far.

This is one of those books where the less one says the better. But, if you want a highly unsettling, tightly plotted thriller, with one whale of a twist, this is one you don’t want to miss!!

One word of caution though- you might want to clear your schedule before once you start reading this one, because it is impossible to put down!

I turned the last page long after midnight… well past my bedtime- a very rare occurrence for me.

I rarely enjoy a book featuring an unreliable narrator but this was actually really good. Layna was not always likable but was definitely a character that inspired the reader to be empathetic. The exploration of nature vs nurture regarding what creates a psychopath was an interesting bonus to the dark and twisty story. It was a good read, I definitely recommend it and I'll be checking out more of Lisa Unger's books. ( )

Tiger, tiger, burning bright

In the forests of the night, 

What immortal hand or eye

Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies

Burnt the fire of thine eyes?

On what wings dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art

Could twist the sinews of thy heart?

-- William Blake, "The Tiger"
