Really good suspense. Lauren has to change identity and 11 years later after she’s rebuilt her life, her past is uncovered. Good suspense about how someone found out about her previous life. Has a good ending.

wow, a great book, i could not put this one down,
right up my street with great characters and
plot, well paced, i would recommend highly

I was unable to get into this book. I understand that there are going to be mistakes, but there were so many in the first ten pages, that I was lost and confused about what I was reading! Sorry could not finish.

These aren't little lies, they are pretty substantial ones!
The question is: when is the right time to come clean about a secret that you might need to keep to protect yourself and your family?
Who is your friend, who is just pretending to be? Is the past catching up with you? Or are you just being paranoid?
I enjoyed it, even if some of the dialogue was a bit stilted (who, other than a policeman or medic, talks about "a substantial headwound"?), and I didn't see the twist at the end coming at all!

I very thoroughly enjoyed this thriller! The book was fast paced and had plenty of tension and surprises. It went back and forth between past and present which I'm a fan of. The need to find out the main characters dirty little secret was strong!

The characters are mostly quite likeable. Sometimes thrillers have a really whiny or dimwitted woman for the main character and Hannah was not. Her husband, Jasper, is the first thriller/mystery husband that I've liked in a LONG while.

The plot ended up being something I haven't encountered in a thriller before. It felt fresh, exciting, and truly suspenseful. The ending tied up nicely. Altogether, Your Little Lies was captivating and really scratched the itch for an entertaining book in this genre.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for providing me with a copy of this ARC!

This book hooked me from the beginning and was such an easy read. I loved the writing, the past and present POV’s and the characters were well developed. There were so many twists and turns that kept me hooked. The only reason it’s not a 5⭐️ for me is because I found some things a bit OTT and the ending felt too rushed!

A fabulous book that I really enjoyed. The beginning was excellent, leaving me thinking ‘What on earth has happened?’. It was a well written, fast paced, page turner and the only reason I have given it 4 stars instead of 5 is that there was just one too many unrealistic coincidences for me! A gripping and emotional read with an unexpected twist towards the end and a lovely epilogue. Highly recommended by me, and thanks to Storm and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review.

Thank you to Sue Fortin, Storm Publishing, and NetGalley for an arc of this novel in exchange for my honest review.

Your Little Lies was such an incredible read. I initially had picked it up just to read a few chapters to get an idea of the writing style and found myself unable to stop! Jasper's grandmother leaves him an inheritance that allows him and Hannah to buy a beautiful new home in a luxurious gated neighborhood. It's absolutely perfect with its floor-to-ceiling glass doors, direct access to the sandy beach, and close-knit, caring community, which will provide their daughter, Pia, a safe place to grow up and their dog, Luna, with a spacious land to roam. 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? But the saying is true, the past always come back to haunt you and this is true for Hannah, who has some past skeletons that not even Jasper knows. After meeting some of the new neighbors, one name in particular is mentioned and then Hannah actually meets her next-door neighbor. The flicker of recognition in his eyes only lasts for a second, but it’s enough. It's the one person she hoped to never see again, from her past secret life. Suddenly, her safe haven has become the most dangerous place she could be. Unless she does something about it…

This story is told from Hannah’s point of view past and present, but also with chapters form Laurel. It takes a while to figure out who Laurel is and her connection to Hannah. Hannah's life begins to completely unravel. Items go missing in her home, her beautiful new home is vandalized, and she always feels like someone is watching her, especially when she's home alone while Jasper is out of town on business. Oh...and now we have a murder on our hands. Who killed Bryan? Hannah gets too comfortable and confides in her friend and neighbor Annabelle, but Hannah is seeing that Annabelle is not who she says she is.

This is a perfectly executed domestic thriller. There were so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming, which constantly left me needing more. It had me guess up until the very end and I was shocked. I absolutely recommend this book which releases September 6, 2024.

Thank you #Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Hannah and Jasper recently moved to a small private beach community. Quickly Hannah becomes uneasy when her new neighbor is someone from her past. Little things begin to happen reminding her of her previous life that she keeps extremely private, was it all a coincidence? Who can she really trust? Is she being set up for something she didn't do? Finished this in one sitting!

Your Little Lies is an exciting, page-turning thriller with excellent characters and plenty of twists. Hannah and Jasper move into their perfect new home in a swanky English neighborhood. Hannah believes all her troubles are behind her. She is truly starting afresh. Then, she meets her new neighbors whom she happens to know from her past life; a life that Jasper knows nothing about. Now, Hannah may be in more danger than she ever was before.

Your Little Lies is fast-paced and excellently written. The story is unique, and the main character is well-developed and extremely interesting. There are plenty of twists and surprises, and the end is quite satisfying. Overall, I found this to be a thoroughly enjoyable read and will be recommending to all my friends who love a good thriller!

This was good, really, really good. You know those books you pick up intending to just read a few pages before you have something else planned and then next thing you know you are halfway through; well, this is one of them.

Hannah and Jasper are madly in love and thanks to an inheritance from Jasper’s grandmother they are able to by a beautiful property in a gated community. They have a nine-year-old daughter Pia and a gorgeous pup Luna; life seems like it could not get any better.

But Hannah has a past, one that not even Jasper is aware of and after meeting some of the new neighbours, one name mentioned is about to blow Hannah’s world apart, she cannot believe out of all the places they could have purchased her new neighbour is the one person she was hoping to never meet again.

The book alternates between Hannah’s past and present life and soon the action and suspense ramp up with the pace moving at an ever-increasing pace. Secrets and lies can take over our lives when we least expect it and is a daily struggle trying to keep up with things we are trying to hide. I became totally captivated by Hannah’s story, well written with characters you could identify with and relate to. Highly enjoyable.

Thank you to Netgalley the author and publisher for an ARC, all opinions are my own.

Your Little Lies is a page-turner. The author does a good job building suspense and the authors story telling made me feel like I was right alongside the characters. Several twists throughout kept me guessing what the outcome would be. An enjoyable read for fans of psychological thrillers.

Hannah, Jasper, and their daughter Pia move into a new home in an affluent community when Hannah realizes someone from her past lives there too. When their home is vandalized, Hannah thinks her past is coming back to haunt her and worries her secrets will soon come out. Hannah will do anything to keep her past hidden, but do her new neighbors have secrets of their own?

This book started off fast paced from the get go and had me hooked right from the first chapter. Every time I finished a chapter I found myself thinking ‘just one more and then I’ll put it down’, which I think is the sign of a very good book.

The plot followed the life of Hannah and Jasper who move to a new area to start a new life, however when Hannah meets someone who has ties to her old secret life, she realises that maybe the past can’t stay in the past. There were so many twists and turns which constantly left me eager to find out what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed the writing style that the author used, the book was written from Hannah’s POV, combined with switching between past and present. This writing style created mystery and added a lot of depth to the book and I think that the author using this approach really helped me to connect with the characters better and become more invested in their lives.

At no point did I feel underwhelmed reading this book, I felt it was an excellent read from start to finish and right until the end it managed to shock me. It was full of suspense and I would highly recommend, well deserving of 5* in my opinion! Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for my ARC of this book.

Two reasons it's 4 ⭐️ and not 5 from me;
There is one glaringly obvious overlooked relevant piece of information that in reality would have revealed a previous life and I felt that the ending didn't need an additional final twist.

Otherwise, I read this book in a day. Granted, circumstances meant I was able to pick up my phone and read it on several occasions but it is an intruiging read that leaves the reader wondering what it going to happen to next.

This book will be purchased for my book shelf! I LOVED this book! This had all of it, thrills, gripping suspense, shocks, and surprises! This was a fast paced read and I did not put it down until I was finished! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

Oh my, ''an addictive and gripping domestic thriller'' indeed. This is the second book that I read by this author, and boy, she just knows how to keep you hooked from the beginning to the end. Each piece of the story is so well connected that, at the story moves forward, it all clicks. It has all the ingredients you want in a thriller, plus a beautiful English setting and a very moving ending. Thank you so much to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for this wonderful ARC, and Big Congratulations to Sue Fortin. Can't wait for her next book!

Wow, this was one hell of a thriller. Couldn't put it down so I read it in almost one day. Good thing it was too warm to do anything else ;-)

We meet Hanna and her husband Jasper when they are moving into their new house at Silverbanks, a gated community where the rich live in luxury. Their new home comes complete with a local neighbourhood watch, an activity commission that organises swimathons and off-course the local busybody Elizabeth. The day after they moved Hannah and Jasper meet their neighbours at the annual BBQ and to her horror Hannah sees a flicker of recognition in her next door neighbour's eyes. Pretty soon we discover that Hannah has a lot to hide, even from her husband.
Her life seems to improve when she meets a new friend in Annabel but pretty soon things start to unravel and the luxury gated community is plagued by violent deaths.
Slowly we discover Hannah's past live and the things she has kept a secret.

It's easy to identify with Hannah and the things she had gone through and the plot is great. Interesting characters too and a couple of very clever plot twists.

Full 5 stars for this great thriller and many thanks too Storm Publishing and Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Hannah has a secret that her husband doesn’t know about. They have just moved into an exclusive area where she starts to let her guard down a little and make a friend. One murder later and her secret is exposed. But who is the murderer?
This book grabbed me from the beginning and kept me hooked until the last page. Very well written with a nice twist. Excellent storyline.

🇬🇧 Thank you to NetGalley and Sue Fortin for granting me early access to this book in exchange for an honest review.

"Your Little Lies" by Sue Fortin was the first book I read from this author, and I had a very good experience! The story was very addictive and captivating. I really liked the short and intense chapters, which kept me hooked throughout the book.

But even though I enjoyed the book, I can’t give it more than 3.5 stars because I felt that the whole setting of the story was too unrealistic. The story is built on too many coincidental reunions, which undermines its credibility. I never thought I would say this about a thriller, but sometimes, I wished some chapters had more explanation or development instead of always jumping straight to major twists. That said, despite these less positive points, I highly recommend reading this book if you’re in the mood for a fast-paced thriller with lots of excitement.

I can't wait to read more books by Sue Fortin!

I just finished reading "Your Little Lies" by Sue Fortin. Thanks to Net Galley and Storm Publishing for the Advanced Copy in exchange for an honest review. This book I would consider to be a psychological or mystery thriller revolving around a young woman who moves with her husband and daughter to a posh neighbourhood in what I can only describe as a gated community.
From the beginning we know that the main character Hannah is hiding something from everyone, including Jasper her husband, and the story switches narratives from Hannah to another woman named Laurel. Laurel is also married with a baby and she and her husband and trying to secure an investment from a somewhat shady man who has the hots for Laurel. What could possible go wrong? Well it turns out that Laurel has to make a sacriifice and restart her life as Hannah.
The problem is once whe moves into her new neighbourhood, her past meets her present...and secrets and lies are exposed in an explosive and deathly way.
What I liked about this book was the way the story unfolded step by step. I loved learning about Hannah's past and how it was impacting her future. She was a very interesting character although sometimes I wanted to strangle her. The secrets were juicy and the author did a great job of maintaing my interest.
What I didn't like was some of the over-the-top lines and actions of the characters. There were some characters that were written in a strange way. To further explain would mean giving away the plot so I won't. There were also some questions that I had that went unanswered. I felt like I missed a page in some parts, especially at the end.
Nevertheless, a good read, that is entertaining and easy to follow. A recommendation from me for the lovers of this genre.

Happy Reading
