The third book in Michael Grant's New York Times bestselling Gone series, Lies is another heart-in-your-throat page-turner, both chilling and thought-provoking.It's been seven months since all the adults disappeared. Gone.It happens in one night. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach, and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. But Drake is dead. Sam and Caine defeated him along with the Darkness—or so they thought.As Perdido Beach burns, battles rage: Astrid against the Town Council; the Human Crew versus the mutants; and Sam against Drake, who is back from the dead and ready to finish where he and Sam left off. And all the while deadly rumors are raging like the fire itself, spread by the prophetess Orsay and her companion, Nerezza. They say that death is a way to escape the FAYZ. Conditions are worse than ever and kids are desperate to get out. But are they desperate enough to believe that death will set them free?“Disturbing, brilliantly plotted, and boasting a balanced mix of action and scheming.” —ALA BooklistRead the entire series:GoneHungerLiesPlagueFearLightMonsterVillainHero

"So far this is my least favorite in the Gone series. There are too many perspectives. There are at least 5 different POV. There are still too many characters. I think Justin could have at least been dropped then get the information from different characters. <br/><br/>I still really like the other characters. The new characters on the island were enjoyable. I also liked seeing how events from the previous book affected the characters<br/><br/>Astrid is a bit annoying in the book though."

"The characters are so well developed, yet sick, sinister, charming, and lovable all the same!"

"A Review of the Series: I cannot comprehend how it is even possible for me to have loved this series but against my better judgement, I do. Getting to this last book was both horrifically terrifying and engagingly easy. Had I no need for food, keeping up with my classes, and to pee, I’d have sat down and read this entire series cover to cover. Confusing, enlightening, dangerous, scary, terrifying, beautiful, crazy, maddening, and intricate, this series has had it all. It is yet undecided if it has changed me for the better but it has definitely changed me for good. As a reader, I am blown away by the intricacies of the characters and Michael Grant’s ability to turn one story into many that stretch across 6 books. As a writer, I am fascinated by the overwhelming amount of deep detail and thought he has put into these books. This complicated world full of mayhem and chaos is absolutely stunning from a writing perspective. It’s beautifully written and deeply organized. From the details in the characters to the presence, suppression, and exploitation of their flaws, these books are well done. To Michael Grant himself I say farewell, good riddance, and many thank yous. As much as I very much wish I hadn’t dove so deeply into this series, I am grateful for the experience to read such a one of a kind masterpiece. With great caution, I recommend experiencing the Gone series."
