In the Blood

By Lisa Unger
In the Blood by Lisa Unger digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

The New York Times bestselling author and International Thriller Writers “Best Novel” finalist Lisa Unger returns to the dark psychological suspense that made Beautiful Lies a bestseller around the world.

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.

Lisa Unger’s writing has been hailed as “sensational” (Publishers Weekly) and “sophisticated” (New York Daily News), with “gripping narrative and evocative, muscular prose” (Associated Press). Masterfully suspenseful, finely crafted, and written with a no-holds-barred raw power, In the Blood is Unger at her best.

“This was my first book by Lisa Unger, and I absolutely loved it! The novel was well-paced, reflective, and chilling. I would rate this a very high 4 stars (almost a full 5 stars for me). Unger's storytelling and narration were compelling. All her characters, although arguably all screwed up, played off of each other perfectly. Personally, there was not one character that made this novel unenjoyable as they all added an element of complexity to the story. The only thing that made this book not 5 stars was the predictability. I read a lot of thrillers (especially psychological), and I found the "twists" to be quite foreseeable. By halfway into the book, I was able to guess the character's relations, the true antagonists, and (generally) how the book would climax. However, this did not spectacularly detract from the book. The pace and unsettling events that frequently took place held my attention. The tone that In the Blood took on was ominous and elevated the actual book. Overall, I do not have much criticism for this book. I loved it, and will definitely read on to find more Lisa Unger novels!”
