Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 21st Oct. Wow, another suspenseful, fast-paced and impossible to put down book by A J McDine. I love this authors writing style and she never writes a bad book each one just keeps on getting better! I was hooked from the first line!

This was a great plot exploring the complex relationship between mother and son. My favourite character was Eve as at times I wondered how far she would go to find out the truth.

I’d highly recommend this book if you don’t read this on publication day you are really missing out! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Eve lives the perfect life in a small countryside village, with her perfect family and friends. When suddenly one night, something happens to turn her perfect life upside down. Soon Eve’s life is spiralling out of control and she is determined to find out what really happened that night. What secrets will she discover along the way?

This is my third book by this author and my third 5 star rating. I knew I had to read this straight away as soon as I saw it! Although this story seemed to follow a more traditional plot than the previous books I have read, it still managed to keep me enthralled and needing to keep turning the pages. I really enjoy the author’s writing style and she has proved that whatever she writes, it will stand out and capture attention. What I really liked about this one was that, although primarily a domestic thriller, there were some real emotional moments that evoked a range of emotions from me. I think when an author can do this it proves what a talented author they are.

The story is told by Eve, and although sometimes her personality traits were irritating, I could relate to parts of her and she felt authentic. The side characters were also done well. I really enjoyed discovering the secrets and the pacing was good; I kept telling myself one more chapter and before I knew it I had read the lot.

This is definitely another immensely entertaining read, full of drama and a surprising but satisfying epilogue. Please hurry up with the next one! Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in return for an honest review.

A teenage son and a teenage daughter…friends and family…secrets…mayhem…intrigue …red herrings…the recipe for a mystery. This talented author has written a page turner. This story reads like nonfiction. What could happen. What did happen. What might happen. This is thought provoking. Thanks Netgalley

Everyone Has Secrets starts with a bang when Annie, Lisa's teenage daughter is found on Lisa's best friend Eve's kitchen floor struggling to breathe. Eve's teenage son knows what happened to Annie, but it seems that so does Lisa, and even Eve's husband, Noah. Why is everyone keeping secrets from Eve?

This novel was completely different from what I was expecting based on the blurb. I am not sure why Annie's 'thing' was left out as it's part of the main theme and happens in the first few chapters. That being said, once I got into the story, I loved it.

The epilogue was incredible, and made me gasp out loud.

Everyone Has Secrets was an intriguing thriller mystery. Eve is a mostly likeable protagonist whose desire to protect her son while helping persuade the reader to look away did also drive suspicious towards him. I found the base of the mystery to be interesting enough however I feel like there were some possible storylines that could have been more interesting to follow. The twist in the epilogue while entertaining would have been a fun mystery to include through out the whole book- I think the story would have been more engaging without the character of Caleb and instead Jenny was the drug pin the whole time with the clear goal of getting Joe in trouble. I really loved the relationship between Lisa and Ece even though I found their temporary break to be a little unnecessary. Overall it's a fun read that is a great way to dive into the genre.

I found this book hard to put down and read it from start to finish without stopping.

It is a psychological thriller that is immensely well written with characters that give the story loads of drama.

Secrets, family drama and so much intrigue adds to the suspense. This is everything a reader wants in a book.

I loved how the whole neighbourhood seem to get invloved with the goings on. Lives are not as they seem on the outside and as the story unfolds we see the real side to those we think we know..

Wow! I have read most of the books by this author and this one has to be my favourite so far.. it had me gripped instantly and I could not put it down..

It really pulls you into the family.. and has you questioning what you know about them is right..

You think you know exactly where the story is going but you don’t.. and when the twist is revealed and it all falls into place.. it’s still not over.

I loved the characters.. although she isn’t in it much Billie-Jo is the sweetest little girl. She captures your heart..

It shows what a families love can do, and how strong friendships can be.. at all ages..

Great short chapters which end wanting you to carry on reading.. I feel this has been left where you could possibly add a sequel.. but I think it’s best left to the imagination…

Brilliant

Everyone has secrets... I could not agree more. It's not a bad thing though as long as you don't hurt anyone or don't endanger anybody.

It's also less distinctive when you talk about people you don't see very often. After all people do not have to share every tidbit of their life with you if they don't want too. It's a different matter when it concerns people you live under the same roof with and who you see every day.

Adults can be very good actors and when teenagers have mood swings, it's easy to blame the hormones although some of them would win an Oscar too. 

If I have to name a favorite character it would be Bobbi-Jo. She is lovely and cute and she stole my heart. 

This is a very enjoyable psychological thriller with lots of emotions involved. It really pulled my heartstrings for some of them and where others are concerned, I really do hope they will get what they deserve rather sooner than later.

I am a huge fan of this author's writing style and storytelling. I can'wt wait until the next books lands on my lap. 5 big stars from me.

Thank you

This is the second book I have read by this author. It stsrts out a little slow but then picks up the pace. A great read for a rainy night with a surprise ending.
