Imagine waking up in a strange bed, completely disoriented. You don’t know where you are, who you are, or why you’re hooked up to tubes and needles. But one thing is clear—you’re not in a hospital. That’s exactly how Jen’s story begins. Then, a woman named Rachel enters the room and claims to be her sister.

Jen learns she’s been in a coma for six months after a car accident, and Rachel, along with a nurse named Bryce, has been caring for her. But something feels off. Jen has flashes of memories—a husband, a child—yet Rachel insists she’s never been married, never had kids. As Jen pieces together fragments of her past, doubt creeps in. Why does Rachel lock her in the house? Why isn’t she in a real hospital? And why does everything unravel even more when she meets her neighbor, Cathy?

One thing is certain—someone isn’t telling the truth.



So many thrillers follow a predictable formula, but this book? Nope! Holly Down masterfully kept me guessing from start to finish. Just when I thought I had it figured out—BAM! Another twist knocked me sideways. It’s packed with suspense, manipulation, and secrets that had me flipping pages like my life depended on it.

This book is fast, gripping, and totally unputdownable. If you love thrillers that mess with your head in the best way, this one’s for you. Add it to your TBR now.

Big thanks to NetGalley, Holly Down, and Bookouture for the ebook! This thriller was a whirlwind—fast-paced, full of twists, and completely gripping. It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, leaving me frustrated, drained, bewildered, and ultimately satisfied. Such a fantastic read!

A fascinating psychological domestic thriller. There are many twists and turns that will keep you reading all day. There are many end surprised me.

This was such an intense read throughout, I felt pulled into the danger and suspense and felt unsure of who to trust.

Jen wakes up in a bed not remembering why she is there. She knows her name is Jen but nothing else. She is very weak and doesn’t know what has happened to her. A woman comes in the room and seeing her eyes open, says she is her sister Rachel. Jen asks if she has a husband and child, but Rachel says she is single. She is told that she was in a bad car accident 6 months ago when her car went off the road and hit a tree. She has been in a coma ever since.

Rachel works and Bryce is her caregiver during the day helping to feed and bathe her. One day she insists that he take her outside in the yard for some fresh air. There she meets a neighbor who starts her on the road to not believing what Rachel has been telling her. What is going on?

This book is so very twisty with the truth slowly revealed that is both scary and cruel. The characters are all flawed to a certain extent but revenge is always a dish served cold as had been said numerous times before. It certainly fits here. Enjoy this mesmerizing thriller.

Thanks Netgalley and Holly Down for giving me the chance to read your book.
This is what I'm looking for.
Twists, unreliable characters and an effortless read.
I absolutely enjoyed devouring this book and I didn't want it to be over.
The climax, the reveal, the ending, everything about this book was just amazing.
Nothing short of beautifully written.

The Other Woman was my first book by this author, so I had an idea of what was to come from her writing style.

I couldn't put it down! I was gripped from the start and the twists, turns and compelling plot had me totally addicted.

Narrated from Jen's POV throughout its a pretty immersive read and I found myself going through every emotion with her as she tried to discover what was truth and who was lying.

Great plot, unexpected ending and a cast of clever characters.

If you like a good suspense novel with an amnesiac after an accident, this is perfect! Unreliable characters throughout, I was trying to put the pieces together, but I hadn’t prepared myself for the multi-twist ending! This is a fast-paced read that I loved!

Enjoyed this one a lot- had my attention and held it consistently throughout. Little twists and turns were perfect and the right amount of surprise!

This book was absolutely unputdownable! From the very first page, the twists and secrets kept me hooked, making it impossible to stop reading. Holly Down masterfully weaves a suspenseful, fast-paced story filled with deception, unexpected turns, and compelling characters. Just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist would throw me off. If you love thrillers that keep you guessing until the very end, this one is a must-read!

Wow! What a superb story! Original and brilliantly written. Fast paced and tense., this was a wonderful read. which I very highly recommend.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the book #EveryoneIsLying by #HollyDown. This book is crazy good and full of manipulation and lies. Jen has just woke up from a six month coma after a horrible car accident. She cannot remember anything and is very confused as to why she is at home instead of in the hospital. The only people she see is a girl named Rachel, who says she is her sister and Bryce who is her nurse. Why does she feel like a prisoner and keeps seeing visions of a man and a little girl. Can she figure out what is going on and why it feels like she had a family?

It is a very interesting and intriguing thriller from the very beginning. Jen had woken up after six months, and she doesn't remember anything except her name. Everything spirals out of control, as Rachel, her sister, tells Jen a totally different story from the one her instincts are telling. Everyone seems suspicious and as if hiding truth and misleading her. A little slow up to the middle but picked up pace soon after. It's only unexpected twists and turns from then, with secrets, betrayal, and twisted mindset from the very own people she called family. When the whole truth about her accident came into light, I was shocked. The climax is jaw-dropping and sinister. Recommended for the twisted thrillers fan. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

Everyone Is Lying by Holly Down is another gripping thriller.
This was a quick, fast paced thriller and I wasn’t surprised at how quick I finished this book.
It was a rollercoaster of a read, and kept me at the edge of my seat the whole way through. I literally couldn’t have guessed where we ended up at no matter how much I thought I had it figured out. The characters were well written, and the plot was insanely articulate.

Everyone is Lying takes us on a recover journey with the main character Jen who wakes up and can't remember anything about herself initially. Jen is able to remember her first name not too long after waking up. She is then greeted by her sister and she slowly starts to feed Jen information to fill her in. Jen founds out she has been unconscious for 6 months. We then follow Jen along as she is attempting to connect the pieces of a life she wants to remember and understand. Turn after turn twist after twist this book keeps them coming consistently. This book keep me on the edge of my seat and wanting more details. I had multiple jaw dropping moments in this read and I loved each one. The most satisfying part for me is the ending was perfect for the story and did not leave me disappointed at all! From the waves of feeling this book gave me ranging from sadness, surprise, anger, more surprise, and joy this book earned a 5 star rating from me!

I’d be lying if I lied to you that there wasn’t an overload of lying laying in this book!! It don’t take that lying down!
What a massive conspiracy there is in this book and a major coverup!!
The master manipulator behind the scenes did a stellar job but many of the characters were spineless too.
The ending was a tad shocking but not completely warranted.
Beware of the woman who regains her memory!!

When Jen wakes up from a coma after being in a car accident, she finds she can't remember anything or anyone. Being looked after at home by a male nurse and someone named Rachel who says she is her sister, Jen tries to recover from her accident and also tries to recall anything she can about her life before the accident. When she starts to get fragments and memories back they are of a husband and daughter. But according to Rachel, Jen isn't married and doesn't have any children. So who exactly can Jen trust? Especially if she can't even trust her own mind?

This was a fast-paced but clever take on the amnesia trope. Plenty of red herrings and twists will ramp up the suspense and have you flipping the pages as fast as you can. The characters were well written even if they were shady sometimes. Overall a quick thriller read that is perfect for fans of Freida McFadden and Daniel Hurst.

Thank you to NetGalley, Holly Down, and Bookouture for this ARC. Expected publication date is February 26th 2025.

“She tells me I'm her sister - that there was an accident and I've been in a coma. But as she skilfully evades my questions, I know something is wrong. Because when I ask her about my husband and baby, she gently tells me they never existed. I know she's lying.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5/5

This is a fast read, I think I finished in 3 days, mainly because I had to know who was telling the truth. Is the woman really her sister? Is her nurse good or bad? Is the neighbor telling the truth or is she also lying?

There wasn’t a character I liked, but you slowly understand why. This book did have some nice twists at the end, but it almost left me with more questions!
