Lies by TM Logan is a fast paced psychological thriller that had me hooked from the first page. Logan didn't waste any time jumping right into the action and grabbing my attention with the deception and mystery surrounding Ben, Mel, and Joe. I flew through this book in one afternoon, needing to know how things would end. The plot kept me jumping from theory to theory with each new detail that was revealed. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I was only partially right in the end. I think fans of The Wife Between Us or The Marriage Pact will devour this new thriller.

I voluntarily received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

What a twisty story. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I was thwarted by another twist. The main character just couldn’t seem to catch a break. The writing kept the tension high throughout. I loved it. One of my favorite books of the year.

This was an immensely satisfying book for me. The lies are everywhere, and I believed most of them. When all was revealed i was completely blindsided!

This book had a great premise and I couldn’t resist snatching this one up on NetGalley. A husband witnessing his wife go into a hotel to meet a mutual friend of theirs and it leads to a disappearance? I mean, how more scandalous can it get?

There were a few things that I did enjoy about this novel. It was very fast paced which I LOVE! When I’m reading a thriller, I want it to leave my heart pounding and not going at a turtle’s pace. This book accomplished that feat! It was hard to put down and despite it being just under 400 pages it reads very quickly and before you know it you’ve blown through half the book!

So...why my 2 star rating?

Well, the writing had a bit of an amateur feel to it. There are a lot of emotional scenes occurring throughout the book, but the writing left a lot to be desired. There wasn’t much of a buildup to the climax because there were small minor quick resolutions that would impede that progress. There was an emotional disconnect with the characters where I really didn’t care for them all that much or what happened to them.

The main character was probably the most frustrating of them all. He is such a moron. I don’t think I have ever read about a character who couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag. For instance, someone confronts his wife of cheating with that woman’s husband and she even shows him proof in the form of texts and over 100 nude photos from his wife and still - STILL - he says that there has to be a rational explanation and asks his wife if it’s true. I mean, big fat DUH!

He was such an infuriating character who missed so many warning flags and things that anyone with a half a brain would’ve noticed that it was nearly impossible to root for him. He was easy to manipulate and easy to fool so most of the time I was shouting at him through my kindle.

I was still hoping that the ending would redeem itself and there’d be some shocking twist, but unfortunately it ended up being pretty predictable.

Special thanks to the author and publisher for approving my request to read this book through NetGalley.

Thanks to Netgalley for an advanced copy! This book won’t come out until September. I’m sorry all of you have to wait!
This book was fast pace from the beginning. Kept me reading through till the end!
Lots of twists and what the heck’s! I did question a few things when they were investigating.
I never put two and two together. Ending has you saying no way!
Great read, I’d recommend!

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley. It was a very good mystery about lies that are told between married couples, friends and acquaintances. You are really not sure who the villain is until the very end. There are many twists and turns along the way. A man disappears and his friend is charged with his murder even though there is no body. The police are too eager to blame an innocent man for the murder.

Joe Lynch has it all. A wife he is crazy about, a young son, and a job he enjoys. The perfect life. However, that all changes when he sees his wife's car drive into a hotel parking garage on a random Thursday. From that moment on life as he knew changes forever.

Joe was a very likable character. However, his constant need for the truth and trying to figure out what happened all on his own, made me what to hit him over the head with something. I completely understand trying to prove you are innocent, but the more he did the more guilty he looked.

I have to say this book kept me guessing until the very end. I did not know how it was all going to work out. I was pretty sure that it was going to be an ending that made me cringe.

This was the first book I have read by T.M. Logan, but it won't be the last. The story kept me interested until the very end and kept me on my toes.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and St. Martin's Press. Thank you so much for this advance copy!!

was interested in the book cover as soon as my eyes fell on it, What if your whole life was based on lies? That’s the question! And I love thinking about it. What would you do?

Im eager to dive into Lies by T.M. Logan.

Here’s the plot:

Six days ago, Joe Lynch was a happily married man, a devoted father, and a respected teacher living in a well-to-do London suburb. But that was before he spotted his wife’s car entering a hotel parking garage. Before he saw her in a heated argument with her best friend’s husband. Before Joe confronted the other man in an altercation where he left him for dead, bleeding and unconscious.

Now, Joe’s life is unraveling. His wife has lied to him. Her deception has put their entire family in jeopardy. The man she met at the hotel has vanished. And as the police investigate his disappearance, suspicion falls on Joe.

Unable to trust the woman he loves, Joe finds himself at the mercy of her revelations and deceits, unsure of who or what to believe. All he knows is that her actions have brought someone dangerous into their lives—someone obsessed with her and determined to tear Joe’s world apart.

What if your whole life was based on LIES?

There is nothing better than a domestic thriller with lots of untruths, twists, turns, people you can’t trust. This book is getting GLOWING reviews. I guess I won’t getting much sleep!

Lies by T.M. Logan grabbed hold of me so that I could hardly put the book down. On an ordinary Thursday afternoon Joe is driving his 4 year old son home when his son spits his mommy’s car. Joe follows her so they can say hello but this leads to a string of events that will change his life forever. I had some inkling of what the real story was, but did not see the twist in the end coming. I really enjoyed the excitement of this book and would love to read another book by this author.

I was captivated by this novel and couldn't put it down. T.M. Logan took me deeper and deeper into a mystery that messed with my head. Lies upon lies, as the title implies. Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced ebook in exchange for an honest review.

This book had me going up and down. It had some amazing mysterious vibes going on, but at the same time it was very predictable.
I was kinda hoping the ending wouldn't be what I was expecting it to be, but it was. And I was really disappointed that a book with that many mysteries still was so predictable in the end.

It was a very fast read, it has been a long time since I've finished a book in about 3 hours, so that could either be a good or a bad thing.

I do have to say that I wasn't a big fan of the writing style. The emails, facebook messages and text in between the story was kinda annoying and frankly just messy. I didn't think it read very nice and I just didn't look like pretty story. Perhaps this will be different in the original book and it's just like this cause of the e-book style.

What i did like very much was the way you get swept into the lives of these people. I really felt sympathy for Joe. I wanted to punch those police officers in the face for not taking him seriously. And i adored little William!

In the end it was an OK read, nice book to read between 2 books. So I give it 3 and a half stars.

This is a book that I highly recommend. The story is fast paced, engaging and keeps you guessing right up until the very end. Surprise after surprise awaits the reader.

Joe has a typical life. A life that rarely changes from day to day. Until one chance siting of his wife where she shouldn't be turns everything upside down.

Now afraid for his future and that of his son, Joe embarks on a quest to not only keep his name clear, but to keep his family safe as well.

What he doesn't know is that everything he has thought to be true can no longer be trusted. Those close to him are the ones keeping the most dangerous secrets. Secrets that the keepers will do anything to keep.

This book had me hooked from the first chapter. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and leaves you guessing the entire book. It is very unpredictable and I truly did not know what the ending would be until the last few pages. Full of twists and turns and keeps you wondering who to trust. Great thriller of a book. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced reader copy of Lies!

Before I even requested this book, I heard fantastic reviews on it by everyone in my book club! This just made me want to devour this book even faster than I normally can read a book. I was so intrigued by the details in this psychological thriller of a novel, and I am so incredibly glad that I was lucky enough to be able to read an advanced copy. I could not imagine going through what Joe had to during this book! I could go on and on about how great this book was, it definitely gets five stars from me!

I was hyped about reading this book The story premise is interesting. The concept of "if I could go back and change one thing" hits really close to home. One event can destroy lives and I have been to that dark place and spent way too much time wondering " if only." Unfortunately, the book failed to elicit any emotion within me. I couldn't like the characters so I couldn't empathize. It was written fine and I cannot pinpoint exactly what was missing for me. The author does a good job of introducing enough elements to keep the reader wondering just who is behind the deceit. I usually have figured out whodunit early on in the book. I found that I kept changing my mind (not trusting anyone) until the end of the book. I appreciated that aspect.

The novel is slightly better than ok. It did pick up for me about 75% in - when Joe stopped being so naïve and stupid. For that, I rounded up my 2.5 rating to a 3 star. I am sure that there will be many people who enjoy Lies.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received this in exchange for an honest review.

This is a real page turner, full of suspense and at times I could feel myself getting caught up in the action and have to remember it's a book I am reading.

While this is an uncorrected digital proof, I found only two words that needed a space. There may have been more, but I did not notice as the story is that good.

Lots of twists and turns, and just when Joe thought he had everything figured out with his wife Mel, he was all along on the wrong track. This is a good suspense read that will keep you up and worrying along with everyone in the story.

I hope to read another as good in story line

Thank you Netgalley for this advanced copy.

I wasn't thrilled with this at all. The writing style wasn't great. The story got bland after a while. I didn't see the twist at the end. It was one of those books you've read so much you have to follow it through.

I enjoyed this book, did find some of the premise a stretch however. I enjoyed the writing and would recommend it. Honestly, not my favorite from the Net.

This was a fast passed, gripping psychological thriller. My favorite kind of book.. It had me so interesting in finding out the end that I did not want to put it down. It kept me guessing up to the end. Everyone was a suspect to me. It had a real Wow of an ending. I did not see that coming. Thank you Netgalley for the advanced copy for my honest opinion. I will be looking for more books from T.M. Logan.

WOW! I did not see the ending coming. Excellent writing with twists given. You will experience betrayal, devious, calculating and conniving scenes. Total unscrupulous manipulation. My heart went out to both children involved. I received this book in return for an honest review.
