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.

All in all I like this book. Good storyline, great characters. The plot was very interesting, however I felt the book was a bit long and dragged out. A man catches his wife having an affair, he is devised. She promises to mend her ways. Joe Lynch is a great husband and father. Happy with his life. He gets drawn into a messy, online game with people trying to destroy him. Thanks for my free copy. I would recommend this book.

I loved the pacing. The story stayed on the rails of u folding the mystery throughout without going in to something else less interesting just to fill pages. I really liked Joe and could really put myself in to his shoes. Nothing too outlandish here and could easily enough be done which adds a bit of scariness that has me looking at my phone twice beguiled with wonder. The ending unfolded thoughtfully and answered things perfectly not just wrapping it up in one page. Even added additional suspense the way they were revealed to the reader. I would definitely recommend and look forward to reading what comes next. Cheer!

Every time I thought I knew how it would end, there would be a new twist that would completely throw me off! I found myself bringing my Kindle with me and reading this every chance I had! The author kept this plot moving from beginning to end. It was a fast-paced thriller that did not disappoint! I will definitely be reading more by T. M. Logan!

This was the first title I've read from TM Logan, it was definitely a solid 4🌟 read for me. Lots of twists and turns, with a gripping story line. I thoroughly enjoyed it! While at first it feels a little predictable, by the end it threw me for loop-- which I absolutely love!


And the story goes...

Joe Lynch's life seems rather ordinary, but nonetheless quite perfect. A beautiful wife, Mel, who is driven and successful, a perfect son, and a great teaching job which allows him to spend time with son, life couldn't be better for joe. Until one day, while driving home, his son spots Mel's car turning into a hotel. Deciding to surprise her, Joe detours and follows her into the parking lot. Leaving his son in the back seat for moment, Joe runs in the hotel where he is shocked to find Mel with another man, none other than her best friend's husband, Ben. Needing to go back to his son but needing answers, he waits for her to come out. Instead Ben does. Not sure of what's going on and needing answers, Joe confronts Ben, who is already visibly agitated. Ben yells at Joe, essentially calling him a loser, and takes a swing at him, despite being at a height and weight disadvantage. Defending himself, Joe shoves Ben who falls backwards and is knocked unconscious and bleeding from his ears. At the same time, Joe notices his son having an asthma attack in the car. Deciding his son's life is more important, Joe rushes home to find his son's inhaler, leaving Ben lying on the ground, bleeding. But realizing his cellphone is missing (and he's always a good guy), Joe calls the hotel from his house, once his son is okay, and eventually goes back to check on Ben.


Now this is where it starts to get crazy... Ben is no where to be found. Neither is Joe's cell phone. Unnerved, Joe returns home to find his wife there, and the lies begin. At the same time, random and vague Facebook posts show up on Joe's account which he quickly deletes, but not before countless people have commented on it. Then taunting texts start to arrive... despite the fact that no one can find Ben.


Pick up this book now to discover all of the lies that unfold. It will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very surprising end!


Special thanks to #StMartinsPress and #NetGalley for the arc for my honest review!

With a title like Lies you know you're getting on a wild ride. Joe and his son William happen to see his wife's car and decide to follow her in order to surprise her in the middle of the day. Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING!, goes downhill from there.

Although the story has many twists and turns, the implausibility of it is sky high. As a protagonist, I found Joe to be too trusting, too naive and too weak of a character. I did not particularly like Mel or Beth's characters for different reasons, which made them difficult for me to relate to. I had most of the storyline figured out before the author slowly unraveled it. The storyline got rather slow and repetitive during the middle, so I wasn't reaching for it every chance I had.

This wild ride just didn't do it for me.

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This book had me from the very beginning. I love that it kept me engaged the entire time. I couldn't wait to see how it ended. I would highly recommend to all my fellow readers. Thank you for the chance to review this book!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book (from NetGalley). All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Holy crap!!! WOW! THIS IS A MUST READ. From the first page to the last--I was addicted. I read it in one sitting. I totally sympathized with Joe, who was a bit of a naive, doormat type, and NEEDED to know what happened in his life. I felt that the behavior of the "liar" was so unbelievably true to reality. Filled with anticipation and expectations, I was certainly not disappointed by the unforseen twists. I absolutely LOVED this book. Thank you, T.M. Logan and NetGalley!

This book has me totally guessing to the end.! I devoured it! I told my nonreading husband that he has to get the audio when it comes out! If you like thrillers, this one is fo you!

This book was the perfect type of thriller - I thought up many theories on what was happening as I read it but the ending was none of those I'd expected. Following along as the narrator tries to solve a mystery that involves him more than he realizes was quite the ride and will keep you guessing.

Thanks to the publisher for providing this ebook as an ARC through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Right from the start, “Lies” takes off at a fast clip, instantly pulling you into the story. Author T. M. Logan makes it easy to identify with the main character, Joe Lynch, and I found myself at his side as his world swiftly crashed all around him.

The characters are believable (for the most part…more on that later), heavily supported by the easy flow of the dialogue and the constant examination of everything via Joe’s thoughts. As each domino falls and Joe finds himself deeper and deeper in trouble, he must examine the world around him and search for answers. The larger issue, who can he trust and when, weaves itself in and out of the story. Every new revelation seems true, and might be true, but Joe can never be sure. As his support system of friends and family begins to fail and with the police considering him a prime suspect in a homicide, Joe must do his best to weed out the deceptions and discover the truth before it is too late.

Other characters are developed enough to give them life, thus helping to continually move the story forward. Even when the story slows a couple times in the middle, the dialogue is always pushing everything, and it is easy to feel the tension lurking underneath.

The only issue I had with the story was the inconsistency of one of the characters. There were a few instances when I felt this character didn’t react as I expected, based upon previous actions and descriptions in the story. Where I felt the author performed best was the intricate plot. Everything tied up neatly at the end and made sense, including the unexpected twist.

This is an extremely well-constructed tale that puts you on the edge of your seat and keeps you up until all hours of the morning. While Joe Lynch is not the strongest main character you will ever accompany, I felt he was a good presentation of “everyman,” thus making it easier for me to empathize with his experiences. Good writing, realistic dialogue, and a convincing plot. Four-and-a-half stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for a complimentary copy of this book.

I love this book! I could not put it down! Omg Joe’s seemingly perfect life comes crashing down on him in an instant. He sees something he shouldn’t and does something he shouldn’t and it’s all downhill from here! He’s an amazing dad and devoted husband. I really think readers should go into this blind! I did figure out the ending but it didn’t keep me from reading! I was completely enthralled and started and finished this in a day! I just had to know what was going to happen to Joe!
