What a rollercoaster of a ride this book took me . This book was a real thriller and kept me guessing right up to the end. It is exactly what I want from a thriller. Well written characters and plot. All around a great book.

Thank you NetGalley and Storm for the ARC and also Ms. Fortin for a well written book. Look forward to reading more from her. 4.5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the arc.
Jasper puts his arm around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head. ‘Happy new home, darling.’ A shiver runs through me. Will I be happy here? Will I finally be safe?
When Hannah and Jasper move to Silverbanks, a luxury gated neighbourhood, it’s a dream come true. Or is it.
This book was well crafted with so many twists and the end plot twist was one I didn't see coming.
Hannah has a past and one that reveals in the book over time, the reason she's taken on a new identity came as a brilliant surprise it wasn't at what I thought It'd be.
Sue Fortin has a brilliant mind that is pronounced in this extremely clever crime fiction read, honestly I devoured this book and the ending didn't disappoint. I cannot wait to read more of this Author. I love it when an author has me glued to the book and heavily invested in the characters which with Hannah I was.
I can't recommend this book highly enough, from start to finish an absolute page turner.

Hannah Towers and her partner Jasper Gunderson have relocated from busy, noisy London to the idyllic Silverbanks area on the south coast. Thanks to a substantial inheritance from Jasper’s grandmother, plus the sale of their property in the city, they are now the owners of a beautiful house in a very desirable area. Not one of the area’s mansions, but still a forever home for them and their daughter Pia. The only fly in the ointment is the residents association Chairperson, Elizabeth Rooke, with interfering and bossy ways that take some getting used to.

Whilst Jasper is outgoing and makes friends easily, Hannah is quite different. Very reserved, with no friends, she welcomes the move to somewhere less sociable than London, somewhere she can keep her secrets close to her chest. Or maybe not!

I liked this book, it was a very easy garden read on a perfect summer’s day. The plot was interesting and quickly became a page turner. It did wander about a bit after the initial captivating start, but the ending was good, though no real surprises.

The only problem I have is that some of the mawkish narrative and dialogue was overbearing, too much M and B for my taste (with apologies to M and B fans), it needed something grittier.

3.5*

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing.

While I love the author’s historical fiction books the best, I’ll still always reach for her psychological thrillers!

In examining the deception of appearances and fresh starts, Fortin whisks us away to the south coast of England and introduces us to a community that will both intrigue and shock us. Silverbanks is no Twickenham, that’s for sure!

Be forewarned, once you visit 9 First Avenue and the Silverbanks community, you’ll find it difficult to leave. Like unwanted and uncontrollable ivy, they have a way of wrapping their lives around you and squeezing out all your hidden secrets.

Readers become aware that Jasper Gunderson, Hannah Towers and their 7-year-old daughter Pia have come to the south looking for a fresh start. It soon becomes apparent that something that happened 11 years ago has Hannah on edge. Sit back and allow Fortin to slowly unravel Operation Camelot and show you that even the best of secrets can’t stay hidden for long!

I was immediately hooked, read looking for clues and snickered at the Resident’s Association and its far reach!

Fortin is an auto-read author for me!

I was gifted this copy by Storm Publishing and NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.

Your Little Lies by new to me author S. Fortin, published by Storm Publishing is an absolute gripping thriller. A story that had me right from the start. Twisty and fast paced, complex and complicated in the best way.
Blurb: When Hannah and Jasper move to Silverbanks, a luxury gated neighbourhood, it’s a dream come true. This house, with its floor-to-ceiling glass doors, direct access to the sandy beach, and close-knit, caring community, will be the perfect place to raise their precious daughter, Pia.
And then Hannah meets her next-door neighbour. The flicker of recognition in his eyes only lasts for a second, but it’s enough. Suddenly, her safe haven has become the most dangerous place she could be. Unless she does something about it…

Thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this Advanced Reader’s Copy of Your Little Lies by Sue Fortin due to be published September 6, 2024.
When Hannah and Jasper move to Silverbanks, they are ecstatic! What’s not to love about a huge house with floor-to-ceiling windows near a beach? But when Hannah meets her next-door neighbor from her past, she is afraid all her happiness will start unraveling. Will she be safe here or will her past catch up with her?
This was a true thriller – alternating between Hannah’s present life and her past life as another person with another family. Both her past and her present lives are connected by a few people – one she knows, one she doesn’t, and one she has no clue about is even a factor. It all comes together in a very satisfying way!
You should definitely put this on your TBR list!
