First Chapter First Paragraph - The Last Time I Lied

I am linking up with Vicki @ I’d Rather Be At The Beach who hosts a meme every Tuesday to share the First Chapter First Paragraph or two of the book you are currently reading or plan to read soon.

Last year, I very much enjoyed reading Final Girls and talked about it here.  I mentioned this week's book as Riley Sager's next venture into the thriller realm.  I'm going to do a read/listen for this one as well - it begins at a summer camp...

 

The Last Time I Lied

by Riley Sager

First Paragraph(s):

This is how it begins.
     You wake to sunlight whispering through the trees just outside the window.  It's a faint light, weak and gray at the edges.  Dawn still shedding the skin of night.  Yet it's bright enough to make you roll over and face the wall, the mattress creaking beneath you.  Within that roll is a moment of disorientation, a split second when you don't know where you are.  It happens sometimes after a deep, dreamless slumber.  A temporary amnesia.  You see the fine grains of the pine-plank wall, smell the traces of campfire smoke in your hair, and know exactly where you are.
     Camp Nightingale.

Blurb:

Two Truths and a Lie. The girls played it all the time in their cabin at Camp Nightingale. Vivian, Natalie, Allison, and first-time camper Emma Davis, the youngest of the group. But the games ended the night Emma sleepily watched the others sneak out of the cabin into the darkness. The last she--or anyone--saw of them was Vivian closing the cabin door behind her, hushing Emma with a finger pressed to her lips.

Now a rising star in the New York art scene, Emma turns her past into paintings--massive canvases filled with dark leaves and gnarled branches that cover ghostly shapes in white dresses. When the paintings catch the attention of Francesca Harris-White, the wealthy owner of Camp Nightingale, she implores Emma to return to the newly reopened camp as a painting instructor. Seeing an opportunity to find out what really happened to her friends all those years ago, Emma agrees.

Familiar faces, unchanged cabins, and the same dark lake haunt Nightingale, even though the camp is opening its doors for the first time since the disappearances. Emma is even assigned to the same cabin she slept in as a teenager, but soon discovers a security camera--the only one on the property--pointed directly at its door. Then cryptic clues that Vivian left behind about the camp's twisted origins begin surfacing. As she digs deeper, Emma finds herself sorting through lies from the past while facing mysterious threats in the present. And the closer she gets to the truth about Camp Nightingale and what really happened to those girls, the more she realizes that closure could come at a deadly price.

I went to summer camp as a teen - only for a week each year, but since it was in Central Texas, our main purpose was to not burn up in the summer heat.  Did you 'do' camp?  Would you keep reading?
