I really enjoyed this book! I enjoyed the dual timelines from Hannah and the past. I enjoyed seeing the relationship between Jasper and Hannah, and also their daughter Pia, and the stark contrast between the past where you see her marriage crumbling around her, although she does not see it yet. One thing that was really unique about this book was that no matter what timeline I was in I was always looking forward to what was going to happen. I didn't enjoy one storyline more than the other but equally enjoyed them both which is so rare!

Both the present day and the past kept me entertained and guessing what was going to happen. For the plot twists, I found one of them a little obvious, BUT the way that it spiraled from there I did not see coming! This book left me guessing, and intrigued by Hannah's story, both past and present.

I think the only thing that I didn't understand is how everyone ended up in the same area. Especially Bryan and Hannah, I feel like there had to be some way that Bryan knew she would be there. But I don't think that pulled from my enjoyment of the book.

This is a book I would recommend to anyone that likes a good psychological thriller, that like a dual timeline, and that want to be left guessing.

Jasper and Hannah have just moved with their daughter Pia, when the neighbours meet them, Hannah knows the ex cop and is terrified he shares her past life. One person, but two different identities.

This is a page turner, read it in one sitting. It’s a fast paced thriller that has great characters and a great location. I liked how the chapters shared the two indentities and how they came together. A really great 4.5 star read.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy.

A jaw dropping thriller that I couldn’t put down. When Hannah and Jasper move to a new home in a close knit development it seems like it will be the perfect home and community. That’s until Hannah’s former life catches up to her and people from her past are now present in her new life. There are so many twists and turns that will keep you reading and wondering until the very end.

Thank you Storm Publishing and NetGalley for my ARC.

This was such a thrilling read overall, it had me hooked especially as the danger started, this is when it got more exciting for me.

Your Little Lies by Sue Fortin is a highly recommended novel of domestic psychological suspense.

Hannah, Jasper, and their seven-year-old daughter Pia moved to the exclusive gated neighborhood of Silverbanks. Their new home has direct access to the beach and is part of a community and all of the activities it provides. After she meets an outgoing neighbor on the beach, Annabelle, she is sure she has made a friend in the area. Hannah had some trauma in her background that she refuses to talk about with anyone, including Jasper, but her past comes back when at a neighborhood barbecue she realizes that their next door neighbor, Bryan, was a part of her secret past. He later privately acknowledges their past connection, when she was known as Laurel, but he assures her that he will not reveal her secret. Soon it becomes clear that someone else knows her secret and is going to make her pay for it.

After readers learn early on that Hannah used to be called Laurel, the chapters alternate between the point-of-view of Hannah in the present and Laurel from ten years ago. The present day story moves faster than that of the past which is providing background information. This information serves to develop Hannah as a complex character and does eventually lead up to a huge reveal that will make her present day concerns understandable. You don't learn about her neighbors connection to her until much later in the novel but at that point there are more prevalent concerns.

The writing is good and pace is even as several disquieting events occur. All the action unfolds through Hannah's point-of-view and things left unspoken serve to increase the suspense and tension. You'll be questioning what is going on until a more serious event happens, followed by an increase of information being disclosed closer to the end. Admittedly, you have to set disbelief aside several times and parts are a bit too predictable, but it is still a satisfying story. Thanks to Storm Publishing for providing me with an advance reader's copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary and expresses my honest opinion.

The review will be published on Barnes & Noble and Amazon.

Your Little Lies kept me guessing until the very end! Although the two identities of the main character confused me at the beginning, I couldn’t stop reading once I picked this book up! I wish there would have been more of an explanation at the end of the book on the reasoning, but nonetheless this was a good read!

When Hannah, Jasper and their young daughter Pia move to their dream house in the idyllic exclusive Silverbanks community, life should be perfect…
One of Hannah’s new neighbours is a face from her past who’s appearance threatens to disrupt Hannah’s whole life and drag out secrets and lies from her past.

Told mainly from Hannah’s POV this thriller was well plotted and tense at times with the family under threat. I enjoy Sue Fortin’s novels and loved this one. It shows what happens when an ordinary family woman is thrown into an extraordinary situation and we get to see the lengths she will go to to protect her own.

BookTok/Tube has fully corrupted me because why was I rooting for the main character and Daniel???

The plot of this book is that Hannah moves into a rich community with her boyfriend/partner but her past comes back to haunt her. The book is written in both the current timeline where Hannah is dealing with the past and a past timeline where Hannah's history is slowly explained.

It's really hard to talk about this book without giving spoilers so this will be a shorter review. I found the slow exposition interesting and it kept me reading to try to find the past timeline chapters. The mystery/thriller aspect was pretty easy to guess but it was still super fast-paced and really fun to read.

Mini spoilers but why was the chemistry between Hannah and Daniel so much better than Hannah and her partner(s)??? I was so rooting for her and Daniel when I know that defeats the purpose of the entire book. Yes Jasper was a much better person overall but still

Fun, quick domestic thriller and an easy read for any thriller readers

*thank you SO MUCH to net galley, the author and the publisher for the ARC <3*

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 stars

OH. MY. GOD. I- I just, oh my god, this book is my new favourite. I just finished this book and I am MIND BLOWN! I LOVE this book soo much!

It is about a woman named Hannah Towers who lives with her partner and her 7-year old daughter. They have just bought a beachside house and shifted to Silverbanks, a place where only the rich live, one full safety. However, would shifting her house be enough for Hannah to forget her past she so desperately wants to escape? Or would her past hunt her down and make more appearances?

I literally couldn’t stop read this one! It has a super compelling hook that sucked me right into the story from the start. The writing is reallyy good and the emotions and thoughts are portrayed so well. At first I was a bit confused about who is Hannah and who is Lauren but that was just like another twist for me. Talking about twists and turns, THE LAST 70 % OF THIS BOOK. I genuinely don’t have words. The last 70% made me feel ALL sorts of emotions from sadness, anger, sympathy and at last genuine happiness for Hannah. (the ending was a little bit rushed (could have been better if a little more explanation was given in the end) but the rest of the book made up for it)

I would for sure recommend this to everyone. If you enjoy thrillers and mysteries this one is definitely for you!

I had a hard time getting through this one. I am not sure if it was the writing style or maybe there were just too many details for me to get lost in. I found myself flipping back and forth trying to piece together what was going on.

Jasper and Hannah, along with their small daughter Pia, moved to Silverbanks, a gated community with beautiful homes and a good safety record. Hannah was desperate for safety and thought she could find it in Silverbanks. Until, not long after their move, Hannah saw a face she recognised; a face from her dreadful, traumatic past. But he had been a good person, surely that wouldn't have changed?

Jasper had once saved Hannah's life; she loved him dearly and he, her. And Pia was surrounded by love. So Hannah knew that once again those memories needed to be shut away. Gradually though, small, unexplainable things started happening. And someone was murdered. Hannah was questioned but she wouldn't be arrested, surely? As the small incidents slowly turned into big ones, Hannah felt threatened, and Jasper couldn't understand what was happening. Would Hannah's life spiral out of control once again? Would she lose everything for the second time?

Your Little Lies is a psychological thriller with a bevy of twists and turns by Sue Fortin which I thoroughly enjoyed. Hannah was an incredibly strong woman, determined to keep her family safe. But the secrets and lies rippled through the pages and threatened to undo everything. Plenty of bad guys - but also, plenty of good! Highly recommended.

With thanks to NetGalley & Storm Publishing for my digital ARC to read and review.

This story took quite awhile to really grab my attention and then once things started unraveling it seemed a bit far fetched. Honestly, what happened between Laurel & Daniel and what resulted from that seemed to be turned into something way bigger than it really should have been and it felt so fake to me for some reason. I don’t know, the twists didn’t seem that crazy and still in the end somethings were still not resolved. I mean some answers and what really happened were hinted at but not really answered straight forward, it almost left it up to interpretation which I didn’t care for. Overall, this was an interesting story but I could have gone without it honestly. It was good just not great and felt slow in a lot of areas.

5⭐️ Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an advanced copy of Your Little Lies.

Hannah, Jasper, and their daughter Pia move to the idyllic community of Silverbanks. Hannah is hoping that she can be truly happy in this safe gated community but when she is introduced to her neighbor she is reminded that she can never fully escape her former life. It has been over a decade since she lived her life as Laurel Jordan and now someone from her old life is coming back to try to ruin her new life. Can she put the pieces together to stop them before it’s too late?

This book was so good! I could not put it down! It was the perfect length for a thriller and the plot twist I did not see coming!

Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC copy of this book!

This is an absolutely unputdownable read from the first page. The book begins with Hannah and Jasper moving to an idyllic, if not too perfect, estate in the south of England and the reader is thrown straight into the mystery from the get go. We find out Hannah has a huge secret and moving to this area now poses a huge threat to that.

The characters felt relatable and the author made it so easy to empathise with Hannah’s actions. Given that this is a psychological thriller/mystery, there was the very occasional action which left me frustrated with Hannah, but the story would not progress if the characters were perfect.

I loved how the author revealed bits of the mystery gradually without feeling predictable or ruining the end. This meant I was hooked throughout, desperate for the next crumb of a revelation.

I finished this book in only a few long sittings and between these I found myself desperate to pick up my kindle and find out more. I would definitely recommend this book and am excited to find more by this author.

What an electrifying heart pounding book! If you're a fan of psychological domestic thrillers you will love "Your Little Lies!" It is filled with suspense, mystery, intrigue and terror! I loved the main characters, it has a great plot with an ending I did not see coming! I highly recommend this 5 star book!

Synopsis: 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?

Many thanks to #YourLittleLies #NetGalley & #StormPublishing for providing me with an E-ARC of this book.

Looking for the next great thriller?? Pick up Your Little Lies. This book was awesome and kept me guessing until the very end!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Sue Fortin for providing me with a complimentary digital ARC for Your Little Lies coming out September 6, 2024. The honest opinions expressed in this review are my own.

This is the first book I’ve read by this author. Psychological thrillers can really fun for me. I really loved the cover and the setting near the beach was perfect. I liked the first half of the book and I thought it was really interesting. I lost some interest in the second half and I didn’t really care for the ending. There were just too many things going on and I wasn’t into it. I liked the story, but wasn’t obsessed. I would check out other books by this author.

Your Little Lies was absolutely fabulous. I am a thriller addict and this one hit the SPOT! Will be purchasing for my libraries.

Your Little Lies is told by Hannah Tower and Laurel Jordan, women with not so little lies. Hannah, her husband Jasper and daughter Pia have just moved in to the exclusive gated community of Silverbanks. At a welcoming barbecue, Hannah meets someone from her past, a past she is desperate to keep secret. A past that threatens both her life and her family’s.

Laurel Jordan is a decorator, married to Matt and mother of toddler Declan. Matt’s construction business is in trouble and he has been looking for funding. Wealthy Daniel Sullivan is an investor but after several meetings and dinners, he seems to have more interest in Laurel than in her husband’s business.

As this deliberately slow paced plot moves between Hannah and Laurel, you will keep turning the pages as fast as you can to understand what is happening in Silverbanks. Hannah wonders who she can trust (Laurel already knows who she can’t). One surprise after another will draw you in deeper. You’ll never see the final shocking surprise coming in this impossible to put down thriller. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and Sue Fortin for this ARC.

Thanks netgalley for giving me an early copy of this great book, little lies or big lies they are all the same and the truth is very hard to hide.
Hannah her husband Jasper, Pia there daughter and the cockapoo luna had just signed the papers for their amazing new house at Silverbanks, an amazing estate of the most beautiful houses it was Hannah’s dream to own a house like this and safe was over joyed.
But on moving in Hannah recognised her next door neighbour, he came from a different life when she was someone else. Hannah was terrified her little lies woykd be found out and her new life would crumble around her.
This was a great story another hit from Sue Fortin have read many of her books and thus one did not dissapount.
