A Lie for a Lie

By: Jane Buckingham

Narrated by: Lilia Buckingham

Don’t get mad. Get @Revenge. Sabrina Richards didn’t mean to hurt anyone.

But at Milford High, if you’ve got a problem, all you have to do is message @Revenge, and they will take care of it with an embarrassing public comeuppance.

When the school’s star basketball player falls victim to a dangerous prank orchestrated by Revenge, the consequences are life-threatening — and Sabrina is in line to take the fall.

Now Sabrina’s carefully orchestrated future is at risk, and there’s only one way out: Uunmask the mastermind behind the perilous pranks. But as Sabrina delves deeper into the secrets and lies surrounding Revenge, she quickly learns that even her closest allies may be hiding sinister truths. Then Sabrina discovers the enemy is close to home, and now it’s not just her future that’s at risk — but her very life.

Critic reviews

“A Lie for a Lie has twists you won't see coming and explores what really happens when you get back at someone . . . and when getting what you wish for comes with a high price. I couldn't put it down!”— Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Pretty Little Liars

It is a predictable yet enjoyable young adult book.

Had this been one of the first books I ever picked up, it likely would have earned a solid four or even five stars. After reading a few thrillers and suspense novels, I found the plot here quite familiar, and many of my hunches about the characters turned out to be spot on.
Superb narration from the narrator 👌🏾
I strongly encourage new readers and teenagers who enjoy thrillers and mysteries to check out this book.

Thrilling, juicy, fun! A must-read YA voice

Once you start you can’t stop, this book is really addictive and full of twists and turns that can keep you (and your friends) engaged. I listened with my friend and it was the perfect book to enjoy a long drive with — we were entertained and on the edge of our seat the whole time. We really enjoyed the narrator’s performance (who we learned is the author’s daughter Lilia Buckingham, which we thought was nice). Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for their next YA read, or who just wants some really engaging and well written fun!
