Excellent novel! Great plot, thorough study of the main character and good relationship build up with lots of surprises that I did not see coming! Would highly recommend!

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC

This isn't an author I've heard of or read before but I believe this is a newer author.

I have to say I didn't love or hate the book. It was just a bit of a gentle read, it was a slow thriller. Nothing too shocking in terms of fearing for your life but definite underlying creepiness going on.

I feel like it was a bit too unbelievable in terms of the amount of lying these characters went through. Literally everyone was lying and the big romance in this book wasn't even a romance. just kinda odd

Jen wakes up with no idea of who she is nor does she remember what her life was like prior to suffering a tragic car accident. Her sister Rachel begins telling her bits and pieces of what Jen’s life used to be like. Jen begins to realize that nothing makes sense and that Rachel is hiding something big from her.

I started reading this before going to sleep but I stayed up until I finished reading this at 3 A.M because I wasn’t prepared for it to be this good! This book had so many excellent shocking twist and turns. I didn’t know who to trust and who was telling the truth. I really like how it ended. I wasn’t expecting Jen to do that thing at the very end.

Minus one star because I felt like the cause of the car accident and one other thing was predictable and the ending was a bit too rushed for my liking.

My favorite characters :
-Ian
-Noelle

My least favorite characters:
-Marc

“Everyone is Lying” by Holly Down Follows the story of a woman who is suffering from amnesia. Or so you think.

Holly gave me a sneak peek of this book, and let me tell you, it’s an absolute page-turner! The prologue is incredible. By the fifth paragraph, I was on the edge of my seat, and by the end, I couldn’t wait to find out what happens next. The way the author takes you on this journey with the main character, trying to figure out who she is, where she’s from, and what happened to her, is just so well-written that you feel like you’re right there with her. The bombshell dropped in Chapter 16, made my jaw drop. Chapter 20 & 21 had my heart shattered. And then, write when I think no more surprises, chapter 27, makes me gasp AGAIN. Oh my gosh, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time! I couldn’t predict what was going to happen next. There were so many twists and turns. But Bryce and maybe even Ian were my favorite characters.

“I don’t trust myself. It’s like I’m trying to walk on fragile glass over a ravine, and at any minute I’ll go crashing to the ground.” is one of the quotes that stuck out most for me from the beginning. Because if you can’t trust yourself, then who can you trust?

“Everybody is Lying” is a 5/5 for me!

Thank you @netgalley, @bookoutour, & @HollyDown for providing this book! I cannot wait for it to be released. I’d love to own a physical copy of this book!

Thank you Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this ARC
This isn't an author I've heard of or read before but anything involving memory loss is right up my street.
I have to say I didn't love or hate the book. It was just a bit of a gentle read (I know that's weird to say for a thriller).
I feel like it was a tad unbelievable too hence I felt like giving up.

3.5 stars rounded up. This started out kind of slow for me but when it picked up, I was on the edge of my seat. It just never kept up the momentum, I felt like it kept switching from slow to fast paced and back to slow. The twists I kept trying to guess, but I was almost never right and I had no clue how the story was actually going to end. I did figure out one of the twists but it was hinted at early on. The ending was super satisfying, although I do wish there was more to it. It just ended too abruptly for my liking. Overall, it was a fun thriller that took me on a roller-coaster of twists and turns.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Jen slowly awakes, struggling to remember who she is. Her name eventually comes to her, but she is struggling with where she is. Unable to move very much, Jen thinks maybe she is dead?

Someone comes into the room, no one Jen knows, but when they see that she is awake the shock causes them to drop the vase of flowers they are carrying.

How long has Jen been asleep and how come she is in this bed and not in hospital?

I really liked this book. The plot line and characters were well constructed and it certainly kept me interested, a just one more chapter read!

Some of the events were far fetched and unlikely, but it all added to the thrill of the story. Somewhat creepy at times and very frustrating, but in a good way. The ending was spot on!

This is one I definitely recommend.

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture.

Jen has been in a coma and when she wakens she doen't remeber much at all... and if she can't remember, how can she know what's real


This is a gripping read and a little creepy.. Can jen trust the people around her?

I ;oved this book, it has twists and drama and is a book I couldn't put down, i cannot wait to recommend it to people...

Thank you NetGally and publisher for this book!

Wow! WOW! Wow!! Boy was this book a great one! I enjoyed this writing style. All of the twist and turns. This thriller was definitely one I had a hard time putting down. I guessed wrong every time!! I will be picking up more books by this author ASAP!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Everyone is Lying was a creepy mystery, taking the reader through the mystery of why Jen, who has been in a coma for 6 months, remembers very little but can’t seem to trust those around to her to tell her the truth. Along with that Jen’s few glimmers of memory don’t seem to be real at all, causing her to wonder why she suspects that there is more to her than is being revealed.

This reminded me of another book I read recently with a similar main conflict (coma patient who has lost her memory) but this story went down a domestic suspense path that was fascinating and built up to a great ending. If you don’t mind some pretty big anger at the family at this story’s heart (and you shouldn’t, it pays off), pick this up

Holly Down's writing style is very similar to Freida Mcfadden's. I say that as a compliment. I thought I had everything figured out and Down blew my mind at the end! That is definitely my favorite kind of thriller. I loved this book so much I went and purchased her other two books on audible.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.

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

When Jen wakes up with no memory she is distressed. Her sister Rachel and nurse Bryce are the only people she had contact with. As tiny memories trickle through Jen doesn’t know what is real and Rachel suggests much is not real. How can she find out the truth?

This was hard to get into and very frustrating. However, the frustration I felt was mirroring Jen’s so I felt that a positive aspect. The truth is slowly trickled through until near the end where things move faster. I enjoyed the slow pace and all the reveals. The final sting in the tail was satisfying!

Wow what a book! Not once did I get anything right! Full of twist and turns to the very end! Defo worth a read if you love Freida McFadden!thanks Net galley

This was a fantastic psychological thriller novel, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed the way everything worked with this. The characters were everything that I wanted and was hooked from the way they were written. Holly Down wrote this perfectly and had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed from the genre. It had me on the edge of my seat and was glad I read this.

This was a real heart pounder!
Imagine waking up, not knowing where you are and who you are!!
Well written characters, each one had me swinging between are they good or are they evil?
There were times when i just couldn't read fast enough to find out what the hell was going on and i ended up sitting up far to late.
A fabulous drama that i highly recommend.
My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

They say I’m lucky to be alive. But the only thing I can remember are the faces of my husband and baby. The husband and baby they insist don’t exist…
Good book! This book definitely had some crazy twists!! It definitely went a different way than I thought it would! It also had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a sort of who done it, and some wild moments! The story was interesting! I would recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

This book is a real gem, a true rollercoaster of a ride!! Full of red herrings, and rewinds that I didn’t expect!! I enjoy this type of novel where it’s clear all is not what it seems, and it really isn’t in this book! Loved it!

This was a rollercoaster! I couldn’t put this book down and I had whiplash from the plot twists and new directions the author threw you in as soon as you started thinking you had it all figured out! A real edge of your seat thriller! Absolutely brilliant!
Thank you NetGalley and to the publishers for my ARC

I guess most people are guilty when it comes to telling a white lie. They did it either to protect themselves or to fit in a certain group or they used it not to hurt a loved one. They all can be understood and forgiven, but when the lies are about more serious matters or to hide a crime, that's when it's a totally different kettle of fish.

The liar might be convinced they have the upper hand, but when the liar does not seem to realise the glove can fit someone else too, they are doomed...

There were a lot of people to suspect here and I really did not have the faintest idea where the author would take me. This meant I constantly sat on the edge of my seat with my head spinning. 

Of course I had a scenario in my mind, but I can assure you it was not set in stone. 

In the end I was glad there was one thing i was right about. All the rest though... ;) :)

I was deeply immersed in this story and it seems like when you are pushed hard enough, the sky is the limit. 

Great characters, lots of confusion, perfect ending. Loved it. 5 stars

Thank you

This was an edge of your seat thriller book many twists blind- sighted me and left me eagerly turning the pages!

It kept me guessing and gripped to the very end. I read it in a day!

The characters were interesting and I enjoyed the dynamics! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
