It''''s Senior Party Week, that magical in-between time after classes have ended but before graduation, chock-full of gimmicky theme parties, last-minute bonding, and family traditions. Olivia couldn''''t be more ready. Class salutatorian and confident in her future at LSU, she''''s poised to sail through to the next phase of her life. But when the tiny hiccup of an unsigned off-campus P.E. form puts Olivia in danger of not graduating at all, she has one week to set things straight without tipping off her very big and very nosy extended family.

Sure, Olivia''''s sudden "passion" for golf is met with some suspicion. And sure, her grasp of the rules is a little shaky.

Gelukkig kunnen haar vrienden Sophie, Charlie en Wes haar helpen dit geheim te bewaren. Nu kan er niets meer misgaan, toch?

Sie ist klug, sie ist taff – und sie muss besser lügen als ihr Boss: »Wer zuerst lügt« ist ein rasanter Thriller mit hohem Spaß-Faktor um eine Trickbetrügerin, deren neuer Auftrag aus dem Ruder läuft. Evie Porter lebt scheinbar das perfekte Leben mit ihrem attraktiven, liebevollen Freund Ryan, in dessen säulengeschmückte Südstaaten-Villa sie bald einziehen wird. Die Sache hat nur einen Haken: Evie Porter existiert gar nicht! Alles, was sie dem schwer verliebten Ryan bislang über sich erzählt hat, war eine Lüge. In Wahrheit ist er ihr neuer Auftrag. Und Trickbetrügerin Evie weiß, dass sie sich diesmal keinen Fehler mehr erlauben darf, wenn ihr ihr Leben lieb ist. Deshalb rechnet sie mit praktisch allem – nur nicht mit der Frau, die sich auf einer von Ryans Partys als Lucca Marino vorstellt. Denn Lucca Marino ist Evies richtiger Name, den sie seit Jahren nicht mehr benutzt hat. Eine Warnung? Einen Tag später ist die falsche Lucca tot, und für Evie stellt sich nur eine Frage: Wer wird die nächste sein? Mit Evie / Lucca hat die amerikanische Autorin Ashley Elston eine clevere, hochsympathische Heldin geschaffen, mit der man gerne mitfiebert. »Wer zuerst lügt« ist der perfekte Thriller für Leser*innen, die rasante Spannung mit überraschenden Twists, etwas Romance und nicht zu viel Blut suchen.

Evie Porterová má všechno, co by si milá jižanská dívka mohla přát: dokonalého, starostlivého přítele, dům s bílým plotem a zahradou, přátele. Má to jediný háček: Evie Porterová neexistuje. Jako první se dozví novou identitu: Evie Porterová. K tomu jí její tajemný šéf pan Smith přidělí místo a Evie si o městě a lidech, kteří tu žijí, zjistí všechno, co potřebuje. Pak přijde na řadu cílová osoba: Ryan Sumner. Posledním dílkem skládačky je úkol. Evie nezná skutečnou identitu pana Smithe, ale ví, že tenhle úkol bude jiný. Ryan se jí dostal pod kůži a ona si začíná představovat jiný život. Jenže zrovna teď nesmí udělat žádnou chybu – zvlášť po tom, co se stalo minule. Ale hlavně proto, že se ve městě objevila její dvojnice s identitou, kterou Evie moc dobře zná – s jedinou identitou, kterou celý život pečlivě střežila. Jako by stála tváří v tvář sama sobě. Evie musí zůstat o krok napřed před svou minulostí a zároveň zajistit, aby před sebou vůbec ještě měla budoucnost. V sázce už nemůže být víc – ale Evie měla vždycky ráda výzvy...

Det är ett alias hon har blivit tilldelad av sin gåtfulla chef, och hennes uppdrag är att närma sig Ryan Sumner, en till synes vanlig man i en småstad i Louisiana. Allt hon har är ett namn, en adress, och en måltavla. Men det här uppdraget blir annorlunda.

När en kvinna med ett allt för välbekant namn oväntat dyker upp i den lilla staden ställs allt på sin spets.

In werkelijkheid is hij haar nieuwe opdracht. En oplichtster Evie weet dat ze het zich deze keer niet kan veroorloven nog een fout te maken als ze in leven wil blijven. Daarom houdt ze met bijna alles rekening – behalve met de vrouw die zich op een van Ryans feestjes voorstelt als Lucca Marino. Want Lucca Marino is Evies echte naam, die ze al jaren niet meer gebruikt. Een waarschuwing? Een dag later is de valse Lucca dood, en voor Evie is er maar één vraag: wie is de volgende?
