The Hennessy Lie is a wonderful YA Thriller that me feel as though I was in a Lifetime movie. I made it through this book in one sitting. I really enjoyed how easy of a read this book was. Annette took us on a roller coaster of emotions following where Pipers unexpected past and future tangled into a treasure hunt of everything she thought she ever wanted. We went with her when she found out the deep secretes behind her up bringing. We started with the confusion of learning about her father and the secrets behind her strained relationship with her "mother". We went along as we crush stalked our neighbor/ best friends boyfriends random roomie and found that sometimes people aren't who they appear to be. We learned a few life lessons like being less selfish and accepting our "family" isn't always a birth right. Sometimes, its those closest to us who choose to be apart of us. We learned sometimes those we trust most cant be trusted at all. Piper learned how to fight for herself and a place she never knew she needed with the help of another name sake to stand by her side through the thick of it.

I highly recommend this book and look forward to ready more from Annette Masters

The Hennessy Lie is a fun, though chaotic, book. It's a fast read with lots of twists, well-written characters, and great reveals. There were times I skipped over scenes because the dialogue felt a bit rambling and young (even for YA), and I wish certain plot points could have been tighter. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and am curious to see what the author publishes next.

The book is twisted and full of unexpected twists. Eighteen years old Piper gets a devastating news of her father’s death from a stranger. While her mother always told her that her father died before she was born. She is in such a dilemma, If she should believe the version of story her mother told or she should believe the stranger? She not only gets to know about her father but also about her inheritance and everything her father left her. But she must figure out the truth and solve the mystery before it’s too late. It all seems to be a deceiving web of secrets, mystery, lies and twisted truth. Piper must find her way out of it.
