Story4 out of 5 stars 12
In this offering from Morris Award finalist Stephanie Oakes, three riveting points of view are woven together in a story that's part historical mystery, part contemporary coming-of-age, and completely unputdownable. When Molly gets a package leading her to Pepper, they're tasked with solving a decades-old mystery: find out who killed Ava back in 1989. Using Ava's diary for clues, Molly and Pepper realize there's more to her life - and death - than meets the eye. Someone is lying to them. And someone out there is guiding them along, desperate for answers.

Although Scott Carey doesn’t look any different, he’s been steadily losing weight. There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn’t want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. In the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King’s most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low-grade - but escalating - battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott’s lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice.

In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice - save the woman he loves, or everyone else? - while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.
Publisher's Summary
An emotionally raw debut about the dangers of blind faith - and the power of having faith in oneself.
The cult known as the Community has taken everything from 17-year-old Minnow: 12 years of her life, her family, her ability to trust. And when she rebelled, they took away her hands, too. Now their Prophet has been murdered and their camp set aflame, and it's clear that Minnow knows something - but she's not talking. As she languishes in juvenile detention, she struggles to un-learn everything she has been taught to believe, adjusting to a life behind bars and recounting the events that led up to her incarceration. But when an FBI detective approaches her about making a deal, Minnow sees she can have the freedom she always dreamed of - if she's willing to part with the terrible secrets of her past. With a harrowing poetic voice, this gripping story is perfect for listeners who like their novels dark and smart.

Great performance! Needed me my Sacred Lies fix ✅ (after complete long the 10th episode on Facebook watch
I half-listened to the first half of the book, due to an unexpected event that happened, and I just could not bring myself to pause the book I was so eager to listen to. The, spent a whole day really listening to the last half but I finished and I am going to re-listen now. I loved it. The performance was good, I bought this immediately after I finished watching the last chapter of the webisode series, it took a very short time to adjust to the new Minnow’s new voice. In no time, I was wrapped up in the story imagining Minnow and Angel acting out the conversations with their face expressions and great chemistry I felt they had on the show. The story has many differences and my imagination did such a good job portraying the scenarios while I was listening that I have to pause and sort out which parts were actual things watched on the show and which were from the book that I pictured vividly. I was fully absorbed! And so glad to get my Sacred Lies fix that I so desperately wanted, after complete long the series! Thanks audible

this was a good book and it was a nice distraction. the reader had a nice voice and it was pretty evenly paced. the ending left a bit to be desired, as it didn't really wrap anything up or give me a concrete feeling as to where the future of the characters would lie.

Intriguing, nevertheless....
A+ for the narrator, but the story was only better than mediocre, I liked the irony of the prophet meeting his end at hands of one of his own lies, however I feel like to many things were left unexplained, like Jude and her mother and even some more information about her father and what his thought process was when he cut minnows hands off. These could have been a start for a second book but the way that it ended implies that minnow will move on and live a somewhat happily ever after.
