There are more plot twists, secret motives, murders, and lying liars who lie than ever in this gripping conclusion to Annie and Fia’s nightmare. Each time designation is in reference to the climactic event of the book, and it is spectacular – you will not be disappointed. Just like Mind Games, each chapter opens with a point of view designation (Annie or Fia) and a time designation. Keane’s secretary who may or may not be on Fia’s side. We are treated to the introduction of the marvelous ‘Pixie’ (as Fia refers to her) – a reader who is working as Mr. Much of her point of view in the novel illustrates her growing distrust of her own instincts as she begins to doubt James’ motives and her own abilities. Fia returns to James and the Keane Foundation in order to bring down the organization from the inside. While Annie believes that Fia is going to join her, Fia again has plans that she cannot see. And she expertly manipulates the situation to engineer her sister’s protection, leaving her in the capable hands of the Learner Group.

She orchestrates Annie’s ‘murder’ to eliminate her use as a bargaining chip by the Keane Foundation. Because she loves her sister, she goes willingly to what she believes will be her death (and what everyone from the evil Keane Foundation sees and believes to actually be her death.) Fia, however, who is ‘gifted’ with perfect instincts, has other plans that Annie didn’t see in her vision. Annie, who is ‘gifted’ with visions of future events, walks into the situation at the end of Mind Games believing that Fia will kill her.

Perfect Lies picks up directly after the ending of Mind Games, with Annie lying on the ground pretending to be dead after Fia has faked murdering her.

Annie and Fia are back in this excellent sequel to Mind Games! ( You can read our review of it here.) If you haven’t read Mind Games you should go do that now and stop reading this review, since there is literally no way to do Perfect Lies justice without giving excessive spoilers for Mind Games.
