Welcome to Teaser Tuesday hosted by Ambrosia @ The Purple Booker.
My Teaser for this week is from
This Story Is A Lie
by Tom Pollock
Genre: YA Mystery / Thriller
Teaser from page 76 in the hardcover.
She stops dead in the middle, and the expression on her face… it’s horror and recognition and desolation and despair. It’s the look of confronting your worst fear and knowing it’s finally come for you, and that you aren’t ready , and you never could be.
This sounds so exictiing and I love the genre. Have you read this one? What did you think?

Synopsis
A YA thriller described as The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time meets John le Carré, about a teen math prodigy with an extreme anxiety disorder who finds himself caught in a web of lies and conspiracies after an assassination attempt on his mother.
Seventeen-year-old Peter Blankman is a math genius. He also suffers from devastating panic attacks. Pete gets through each day with the help of his mother—a famous scientist—and his beloved twin sister, Bel.
But when his mom is nearly assassinated in front of his eyes and Bel disappears, Pete finds himself on the run. Dragged into a world where state and family secrets intertwine, Pete must use his extraordinary analytical skills to find his missing sister and track down the people who attacked his mother. But his greatest battle will be with the enemy inside: the constant terror that threatens to overwhelm him.
Weaving between Pete’s past and present, This Story Is a Lie is a testimony from a protagonist who is brilliant, broken and trying to be brave.

Ooo, you picked a great teaser! I like all the covers but especially the Dutch(?) cover.
I love the synopsis and been wanting to read this. The cover you are referring to is published by Gottmer. Not sure if that is Dutch.
This does sound good. I’m curious to learn more about it😁
I plan to try and fit in in for this weekend.
I’m intrigued! Thanks for sharing, and enjoy! Here’s mine: “THE LIAR’S CHILD”
It sure does sound good:)
Interesting teaser. Mine is from sort of a light spy thriller, Fields’ Guide to Voodoo My Teaser
I can’t wait to get further into this one:)
I have not read anything by Tom Pollock before and you have me super intrigued! Love the cover with the wolf on it. 🙂
I’m excited to try his books and this one sounds really good.
Oh wow Laura! I really love the writing and the intensity of this excerpt!
I hope to find time to really get into this one over the weekend.
