Your Little Lies by Sue Fortin is a domestic thriller that grabbed me immediately and did not let go.

Hannah and her family have moved into the luxurious community of Silverbanks. It is the fresh start that they needed, and they are optimistic that this will be a place that they can enjoy for years to come. But a chance meeting at a welcome to the neighbourhood party will have Hannah more fearful than ever of a past that she has tried desperately to escape.

This is a story that kept me glued to the pages as I tried to assemble all of the pieces to a complex and tension-fuelled puzzle. Told from the alternating viewpoints of the past and present, you too will be desperate to see how it all connects and unfolds.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for an ARC.

OMG... This was so good!
A domestic thriller that had me gripped from the start. Full of tension, suspense, and intrigue. Sue Fortin certainly got my emotions flowing with this one. It had some gut-wrenching moments, and I had to fight back the tears a few times. Fast-paced and compelling, I flew through this book. There were moments when I gasped out loud ( the hubby had to check if i was ok) and twists I did not see coming. With a great plot and well written characters, I don't often give 5 stars, but this book deserves them.

An anxiety induced read that had me holding my breath throughout. I recommend this to anyone who loves reading domestic thrillers.

Synopsis
When Hannah and Jasper move into Silverbanks, a place where the rich live in luxury, a gated community, one of safety. That is until Hannah sees someone from her past...

Thank you, Storm Publishing and Netgalley, for my ARC.

Immersive Suspense..
The luxury gated community of Silverbanks seems a dream delivered for Hannah and Jasper - yet it is soon to become just as far from that as it is possible to be. A pacy and propulsive domestic suspense with a plot populated by a credible and well crafted cast, edgy narratives, twists aplenty and a well imagined backdrop. Compelling and immersive.

Hannah has lived a totally different life, as Laurel, before she met Jasper. Though he has always known that she had a secret, she was too afraid to tell him what the secret is. When they move to a new seaside neighborhood, strange happenings, and a body on the beach, threaten to expose Hannah's previous life. And she's afraid that if the worst happens, Jasper will leave her and take their daughter, Pia. Will Jasper continue to stand beside Hannah after she is charged with murder?

I loved everything about this book. The characters are well depicted and readers will root for Hannah to regain her life and her joy. Jasper is a refreshing character -- a rare, and much appreciated, depiction of a man who honors his commitment, not one who bails at the first hint of trouble, nor one who is seeking only what he can get out of a relationship. The ending was unexpected, but reasonable and satisfying. I hope to read more by this author.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

I read this one at break-neck speed as it caught my attention immediately and wouldn't let me go until the end! Happy couple Hannah and Jasper have just bought a new house in a great development and move in with seven-year-old daughter, Pia and dog, Luna. Hannah is elated until she meets new neighbors, Bryan and Annabelle whom she recognizes from her "former" life--that of course no one else in her family knows about! And we're off! Then the novel vacillates between her old and new life as we see the terror, the stalking, the murders, and just how she survived. It's an excellent cat-and-mouse game that will leave you with your mouth hanging open!
Thanks to NetGalley for this ARC!

Everybody lies once in a while, but often they are about something rather trivial. You don't want to hurt someone's feelings or you feel a bit ashamed about something.

And then there are times you lie, because of a far more important reason: your aim is to potect.

This is my first book by this author and if all her thrillers are like this one, they are must reads without any doubt. 

I was captivated by Hannah's story and was anxious to find out her secrets. 

This author is a born storyteller and I liked the setting of this book. I liked the fluent writing style and she created very good characters.

There was nothing I didn't like and it had everything I do like. In short, an amazing read. 5 stars

Thank you

When Hannah moves into her new home with her husband Jasper and daughter Pia, she is overwhelmed by the beauty that surrounds her. A lovely home with floor-to-ceiling glass doors overlooking the ocean and what appears to be a friendly community—what more can she ask for?
Everything soon comes crashing down around her when her past, which she has been hiding from her husband, may suddenly be revealed. She comes face to face with her next-door neighbor – who was a part of that past. Hannah's world slowly crumbles around her when, in her frantic attempt to hide her past, she suddenly finds herself being arrested for murder.

Sue Fortin has written a corker here! Hannah and Jasper move to Silverbanks. Jasper has been Hannahs rock for the last few years but he doesn't know about her secret past. The intrigue begins when Hannah recognises their next door neighbour from her previous life and she is sent into a spiral of panic.
This story is truly gripping and has some suprising twists. Some great characters and you are always keen to read 'just one more chapter'. It has definitely helped me through this heatwave when it has been too hot to sleep!! I thoroughly recommend this book!

Hannah and Jasper move to what is described the perfect new house and location for a new start. Hannah befriends Annabelle who moved into the community a few weeks beforehand. Hannah also learns her new neighbor Bryan is from her past which she is desperately trying to keep secret from everyone around her including Jasper. Her secret can't stay hidden to long.

One of the best books I've read in a long time. Your Little Lies had me asking so many questions throughout the book. Every plot twist and turn had me guessing what was next only to be completely wrong. The story is made up of lies, murder, mystery and a secret know one should have to live with.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Hannah and her partner Jasper, daughter Pia and dog Luna, move into a new home right on the beach. It is a gated community with lots of rules and a welcoming committee. Soon Hannah makes friends with Annabelle, another newcomer. Both ladies are hiding something, and strange things begin to happen.

Told from Hannah’s point of view but also with chapters form Laurel. We don’t know who Laurel is or the connection to Hannah. It’s not revealed until later on in the book, but I had an inkling of where the story was going. The final who dunnit was a complete surprise though. I enjoyed how things were built up in the story. As soon as a reveal was on the cusp, the narrative switched to the other character. I would recommend!

This was such a twisty domestic thriller. I’d think I understood what was going on and then it would suddenly turn and I’m surprised by what happened. This happened many times. My heart went out to Hannah. She lost and endured so much trying to do the right thing. I loved Jasper. He is the sweetest man. Such a good and kind soul. This had me rapidly turning pages. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced free copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

Hannah and Jasper move to a new housing complex, along with their daughter Pia.
Hannah, an introvert, meets Annabelle, who she instantly likes.
Their neighbour, Bryan, a retired police officer, knows Hannah from the past, and soon, there are odd things happening in the complex, and then Bryan is found deceased on the beach after sending Hannah a message to meet him.

I enjoyed this novel, it was twisty and fast paced. However, I fail to see why Hannah should have been ashamed of her past, she had done nothing wrong.
The book is suspenseful and emotional in places, especially at the end.

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.
