Cover Reveal: Two Truths and a Lie by April Henry
Ooohh!! I love isolation thrillers! For those of you less familiar or embedded in the horror genre, and isolation thriller is a thriller where the would-be victims are… isolated. Complex, I know. But still, it’s one of my favorite types of thrillers because there’s never that question of “Why don’t you just call the police?” or “Why don’t you just leave?” Spoiler alert, its because you can’t! And really, is there anything more terrifying than being trapped with a killer? Now throw in a creepy hotel, a stranded troupe of teen actors, and a group of strangers from another school and you’ve got yourself the recipe for terror – and Two Truths and a Lie from Christy Ottaviano Books! But enough of my yammering, let’s get to that cover!

In this chilling mystery from a New York Times bestselling author, a storm strands a group of teens in a creepy motel—leaving them trapped with a killer.
Nell has always wanted to be an actor, but she doubts her ability. As a member of her school’s theater program, she prefers working backstage. On the way to a contest, an unexpected blizzard strands her acting troupe in a creepy motel. Soon they meet a group of strangers from another high school—including the mysterious and handsome Knox, who insists they play the game Two Truths and a Lie. When it’s Nell’s turn, she draws a slip of paper written in unfamiliar handwriting:
I like to watch people die.
I’ve lost count of how many people I’ve killed.
Suddenly, a night of harmless fun turns into a matter of life and death. As guests start to go missing, it becomes clear that a murderer is hiding in their midst ready to strike again. In a room full of liars and performers, the truth is never quite what it seems. Nell is going to have to act like her life depends on it—because it does.
