This book was a fast, suspenseful read. I read it in one day. The twists were unexpected and the story gripped you from the start. I was enjoying this book so much by just 25% finished, and I was already looking for other books by Danielle Stewart. I hope she releases more of her incredible writing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy.

Great mystery/thriller to start off the new year!

While I'll admit, this book was a little slow to start, after about a quarter in it really took off!

The author shares small lies throughout the book, which keeps you guessing which one is leading to the "main event". The multiple story lines really keep the twists & turns going through this book, keeping you hooked until the very end! Days later, I'm still thinking about the main characters and the web of lies told.

Thanks Netgalley for the early read on this book!

oooo this book was very intriguing. the start was quite slow but once it picked up, I couldn’t stop.

The story follows the drama and shocking revelations that the Hargrove family faces as the story unfolds. It’s primarily told from Jo’s perspective, a mother who has spent years managing her anxieties while trying to meet the needs of her family. Her husband, Everrett, is constantly working and often absent from their lives. Despite this, they live a relatively comfortable life. However, everything begins to absolutely change when Jo and Everrett welcome an exchange student into their home.

Jo's anxiety gave me anxiety. It was so well portrayed. Her internal struggle to balance her fears with her parental duties was depicted clearly. I feel a bit conflicted about her due to her helicopter-parenting style, but I can't help but admire her deep love for her children.

There are lies upon lies throughout the story, and I honestly had no idea where it would lead or how it would end. It kept me guessing, which is why it was such an excellent and quick read.

Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for allowing me to get this e-arc.

This book was gripping! Mother Jo is a stay at home mom to her son Ashton who has severe allergies and her daughter Megan who is in the thick of puberty. She’s petrified that something bad will happen to her children one day which is exacerbated by the fact that her husband spends most of his time away from home. The tension builds when she begins to receive threatening letters in the mail and the reader doesn’t know why. After welcoming an exchange student into their home, things begin to spiral out of control and no one is prepared for what happens next! The second half of this was so twisty and unpredictable.

I could never have guessed where this book was going to go….I absolutely loved it. I had my suspicions about certain characters I thought were lying but I don’t think my imagination could have come up with what actually happened in this book. It was so clever, there was suspense, drama and also heartwarming family moments after plenty of conflict.

I could not put this down. This book kept surprising me when I thought I had it figured out. This was a brilliant and captivating read and I loved the resolution in the end. Megan and Eden’s relationship really takes a journey throughout the book and I love where they ended up. I enjoyed all the crazy theories the police drum up during the investigation. I would highly recommend this book. I went in blind and I enjoyed this so very much.

Thank you so much to @bookoutore @dstewartauthor and @netgalley for the arc in exchange for my honest review

This was effortlessly one of my best reads in 2025. Being an avid thriller reader, this book questioned my second-guessing ability. This was my first story where I couldn't trust anyone ,even the narration.

The storyline had a depth which I could feel within my soul. The extend to which a mother would go when it concerns her children was portrayed in an passionate psychopathic questionable way. Looking for fairness and perfectness in a thriller book is a foolish thought because without a confused and stupid protagonist or deranged disintegrated antagonist or grey and selfish deuteragonist there would no spice. This book had all the three which I think added to the drama.

It seems like a short book of 278 pages but it is a slow burn. Betrayal hits harder when the betrayer is an excellent actor and believer is a delusional nurturer. Half way into the book and I already wished I could whack the protagonist for her stupidity, but that's the sign of good writing.

Each twist hit me harder than I imagined since the author was so convincing about the narration. The book highlights the importance of good parenting and the impacts of bad upbringing.

Overall, it's a dramatic thriller best sided with a coffee☕️

that was WILD!!! I had no idea what direction the book was going, and boy did Danielle keep it interesting and engaging. This is a must read!!! Just when you think you know what’s happening, here comes another twist.

4.25⭐️
This book is definitely a well written page turner! There were so many twists, different storylines, and unexpected details that kept you hooked from the beginning until the end, trying to figure out what was happening and what was actually the truth. I also felt like the main character was relatable in her anxieties about motherhood and stressing about her children’s safety. Overall, this was very creative and original and I really enjoyed it. Thank you to Danielle Stewart, Bookouture, and NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

Dark thriller with many twists and turns. Secrets and lies torment and turn upside down a traditional family.

Three Little Lies by Lisa Pape is a gripping psychological thriller that had me hooked from the very first page. As a reader who loves a dark, twisty story, I can confidently say this one delivers on every level—intense emotion, shocking revelations, and a heart-racing plot that kept me on the edge of my seat until the final page.

In short, Three Little Lies is a superb, edge-of-your-seat thriller that will keep you up long past your bedtime. Highly recommend!

What a captivating, nerve wrenching emotional rollercoaster! I could not put “Three little lies” down if I wanted to! From the very first pages it kept me on my toes and kept me guessing what is going to happen next. I will absolutely check other books by Danielle Stewart as this book has opened something in me, unlocked emotions I didn’t know were humanly possible!

I rate my thrillers solely on if I figured out the plot twist and the vibes/pacing so keep that in mind.

I feel like the last few years have been let downs for thrillers but this gave me all the feelings I love about a domestic thriller- super fast pacing (I read this in one sitting), a rollercoaster of emotions, plot twists and the concept was so interesting.

Thankyou NetGalley & bookatoure for this arc copy.

At first I didn’t like the main character I felt like she was a lil over bearing and I think the deception of that worked so well
In this book, even though this book is fiction it highlights a lot of very factual talking topics throughout the book which I loved, it’s not your generic thriller book the twists was good, I would recommend this easy page turner book

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advanced reader copy. All opinions are my own:

I’d like to know how much time was spent on building this story line, because everything connects and by the end, every random little detail is addressed well.

My only slight drawback is that the twist starts pretty early at about halfway through, which I really enjoyed, BUT with the prologue being a big foreshadowing chapter, I assumed that part of the story would come later and got confused as to where the prologue fit into the story for a bit. I think this could’ve been addressed just by adding in a small portion of the prologue into the appropriate space in the story, rather than skipping past it for the reader to fill in. I did figure this out pretty quickly, so not a huge downside.

Very well-written thriller that you probably don’t want to read as you’re trying to go to sleep, because you won’t be able to put it down. I think every character in the book played a pretty major role in the story, so character development was very well written. The setting felt like it was painted really well and I could picture where we were in my mind.

The story forced angst on the reader from the start with the letters that Jo receives and also just the peculiar behaviors of a couple of the kids. It locks you in early so that you’re forced to keep reading to see what’s going on.

wow this book kept me hooked the whole time. it was such a good read and i highly recommend this book

I LOVED this book! Every chapter kept me guessing and then when I thought I had it figured out near the end! Bam! A twist I didn’t think about! Right after I finished this book I went and download another book by this author!

ARC BOOK REVIEW 📖

Name:Three little lies by Danielle Stewart
Publishing Date: March 13, 2025
Favorite Quote: "It's bothersome to me that my brain requires this much emotional extinguishing to the fires I set in there. I am the arson and the firefighter when it comes to the ebbs and flows of anxiety. Some days I can let that controlled burn do it's job and other days, I die in the smoke."

A must read! It is very rare for me to have a 'cant put down book' but wow was this one of them! First book I think I finished in a day.

Super well written and a plot I didn't see coming!

Original I was getting The Orphan vibes especially with the 'little incidents' but as I was nearing the end I was completely caught off guard!

Read this in one sitting! Surprise ending that did not disappoint.

Worth reading.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to read and honestly review this book.

Thank you Netgalley and Publisher for providing me e-ARC of "Three Little Lies" in exchange for an honest review.
also Thank you Danielle for writing this mindblowing and addictive book.

two words only: PAGE TURNER
The moment I started reading this I was hooked, it was gripping since the first chapter, and especially the first half of the book was literally so addictive that if I had a physical copy of this I would be devouring it tbh. The chapters were short, the writing was easy (not too complicated to focus on), characters were interesting. Everyone has their own story despite being a single POV, which I usually dislike, this was way too good.
.
I got kind of distracted after the first half cause of personal reasons but i enjoyed it sm and it felt like such a great way to start the year. I would be highly recommending this on my social media platforms and looking forward to more of Danielle's writing.

Action packed, quick moving domestic thriller. Quick afternoon read. Kept me interested from beginning to end, even if I didn’t agree with the ending. I had a roller coaster of emotions reading this!

Jo, the seemingly perfect wife and mother, volunteers to take in teenage exchange student, Eden. Her daughter forms a bond with Eden, and problems soon arise. With tension mounting in the household, Eden goes missing. Jo’s husband Everett declares his innocence in her disappearance, but as the investigate progresses, Jo learns everyone has secrets.

Wow!! That was a great read!! A slow build up for the first bit but then I couldn’t put it down for the second half of the book! Fantastic, twisty read and I’ll definitely try more books by this author.
