4/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a fantastic domestic suspense read. Good character development with sharp twists and turns. I did guess some of the “shockers” but it didn’t take away from the story at all.
The whole story could have done without the “letters”… I didn’t find it really added anything to the quality of the storyline, if anything it distracted from it.
A mother who strives for perfection, and exchange student, lies, secrets, and a rollercoaster ride that will keep you hooked until the end!

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for early access to this book!

Check it out when it’s released March 13 2025

This was my first novel by Danielle Stewart and it was AMAZING! What would you do to keep your family together when your perfect life is shattering before your eyes? This book was jaw-dropping and kept me on my toes! I would highly recommend.

Jo is a busy, concerned parent to her two kids, Megan is twelve and Ashton seven. When she is approached by another mother at the children’s ritzy private school to host a foreign exchange student, she initially balks at the request. Her brand of parenting is what some may call ‘helecoptoring,’ and she is very concerned about setting rules for someone else’s child to follow. She eventually agrees, mostly to improve her strained relationship with her preteen daughter.

When Eden arrives from the UK, things look like they are going to work out, but Jo begins to suspect Eden is hiding something. Then Eden disappears and Jo’s husband Everett becomes the main suspect, Jo knows she has to find the truth, no matter what.

I enjoyed this thriller, but it was slow in the beginning. Despite its sluggish start, Three Little Lies packs a bunch of twists, most of which I never saw coming. I am taking off a few stars for the beginning, but at 3.75 stars, it’s still an interesting thriller to pick up.

I received this advance copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review and feedback.

Wow. The twists kept coming . What a fab read. Hope to read more by this author soon. I was gripped till the end.

An enjoyable read with a good story plot, i just felt it lacked a little something. Good characters and easy to follow.

This book could have easily been a five-star read; it's riveting from start to finish. But, it has a lot of disruptive editing issues.

Unexpected twists and shocking turns. Clever mystery. Well written characters. Multiple POVs. A captivating tale

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this eARC!

This definitely had some surprises, but unfortunately, they were all held back by the worst main character that I’ve encountered in a long, long time.

Jo, a wife and mother of two, is approached with an opportunity to host a foreign student for 6 weeks. She decides to do this because the girl who needs to be placed has severe food allergies, just like her son. The issue with this is that Jo bases her whole existence on her son’s food allergies, and honestly, she’s really obnoxious about it. Anyways, Eden, a seventeen year old girl from England, starts rubbing off on Jo’s daughter. Of course Jo gets all bent out shape about everything. She’s just annoying and it really detracts from the first half of the book. Once the first big twist hits, she gets slightly less obnoxious, but the damage is done. I spent the whole book rooting against her.

Yea…the twists are good, but an irredeemable main character just ruins it. Maybe because I’m a male, with no kids, I don’t relate to her as much, but some of her reactions and decisions are just baffling and stupid.

This is a quick thriller that intrigued me from the start...just when I thought I figured out where the story was headed, it took a turn.
A well-off family welcomes an exchange student in to their home. And then things start to change - for the worse. Family tension, lies, a disappearance. All the while, you're left to wonder who is guilty.
Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for access to this eARC.

WOW!!!!! Absolutely brilliant.

I throughly enjoyed reading this book by Danielle.
The chapters weren’t too long, it made me want to read more even when I said “last chapter for today”
You got to Know the characters in detail and why Jo was so overprotective of her family. It makes you think what would you do in that situation.
The twists and turns were great, especially finding out who Eden is. I really did not expect that.
Thank you so much for the advanced copy of Three Little Lies. I wish Danielle every success when publication day arrives

What a fun read! I really enjoyed this book and thought it was very unpredictable. The twists at the end were shocking and I did not see those coming! I did feel like the beginning dragged on a bit and there seemed to be a little redundancy around Jo’s character with how she was a helicopter mom. Once the story picked up I couldn’t put it down.

Thank you NetGalley for the digital ARC. Definitely looking forward to more from this author!

This was a good psychological thriller where the lines of family become very blurred. Jo, the mom of the family, carries a secret that taunts her. When the family welcomes an exchange student, things go crazy!

Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for my advanced copy.

Well, you may think you have this figured out very early on, but trust me, you absolutely do not! It starts out a little slow and not all that exciting, even thought about maybe it being a DNF, but then about close to halfway through... totally did not see it coming!! There's some character building in that not so exciting part but wow, when it kicks in it kicks! You realize the slower character building part is important to better understand them. Mom Jo seems a little off her rocker but we all know you don't poke the bear, especially a momma bear! There are lots of twists in here and each one will drop your jaw! When the jaw drops, that's when you know what you're reading is a great book!

It's due out in March, do yourself a favor and get it and maybe even get one for a friend!

Honestly the first part of the book to me was very slow.
It took me a while to really commit to turn the page and continue the book. The story itself kind of seemed like I had it all figured out from the beginning and it was going to be the run of the mill thriller book that we all read.Jo is a loving wife and a mom of 2. One of these children who has a severe allergy and one who is just entering the beginning phases to puberty. As if that is not enough she decides to invite a foreign exchange student into her home.Jo captivated my attention once l reached the middle she was sucking me into the unease and craziness that was her life. The twist and turns for me shocked me and made me want to turn the page faster to unveil the truth. As the end of the story unfolded I was amazed at all the lies that were told and how it all truly unfolded. The ending truly surprised me which is why it's my first 5 star rating of 2025!
Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this!

Was an okay read! Great plot just not my favourite read. Had a hard time getting myself to keep reading starts very slow

Three little lies by Danielle Stewart

This book was a head spin of nausea and chaos for any mom. A teen ager in the home and a young child that has a food allergy. When Jo gets talked into allowing an exchange student live with them. She feels like all the problems she’s dealt with are slowing. But when other issues arise with her troubled marriage and the exchange student causing an uproar for her parenting style. This books gets sticky quick.

After the exchange student goes missing and the tension with her husband at an all time high. Everything points to Everett her husband.

What a whirlwind of crazy, it’s like a bad car accident you can’t look away! This book was riveting!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookoture!

THREE LITTLE LIES BY DANIELLE STEWART.
Release date set for the 13th of March 2025.
I loved this book.
Great premise and overall good story line/plot.
This book held my attention throughout and it was perfectly paced.
I couldn't wait to find out how it was going to wrap up as i honestly didn't have a clue where it was going to go.
I thought it was going to go one way but i was wrong.
Highly recommend this book when it comes out.

Jo and Everett have two beautiful children and when roped into having an exchange student from England, Jo hopes it might help build her relationship with her 12 year old daughter Megan. When Eden arrives things start off positive but soon little things start to change and then Eden disappears. With Everett being prime suspect and arrested the lies start to unfold.
The books starts off quite slow but brilliantly detailed leaving you desperate to know more. Once Eden disappears the twists start coming and even though you think you’ve sussed it out, another one comes at you. The secrets and lies that unfold are brilliantly thought through and the last half of the book had me desperately wanting to find out what happened.
4 stars from me.

This is a great beach read.

It's one of those reads where you absolutely think you know where it's going and you are absolutely wrong. I love that!!!

Everything I though I knew was incorrect and the book kept me guessing.

Thoroughly enjoyed this!

Overall good book! I did not see the twist coming and it didn't leave me on a cliffhanger. I felt like sometimes it lulled a little bit, but for a shorter read I enjoyed it.

Just finished an amazing mystery book, and wow, I couldn’t put it down! Twists, suspense, and a story that keeps you guessing until the very end—highly recommend it!
