This was a quick-paced easy read. I enjoyed reading this story line. Characters are on point! Recommend if you like this type of book!

This was fine- quick and easy read. I think this is marketed as a thriller, but it’s definitely more of a domestic drama with a sprinkling of suspense. A messy story of privilege and infidelity, with a little bit of a twist. Not quite my go-to genre, but would recommend if that’s what you’re looking for.

Neena, a married woman who thinks she knows how to use her feminine ways to earn a higher payday and maybe a new and better husband this time. Then there is Cat, she has a wonderful husband and lots of money and prestige and she’s not going to give any of it up without a fight. I really enjoyed this very highly entertaining and devious domestic drama.

Every Last Secret was such a fun thriller that dug deep into the lives of the unattainably wealthy. This is definitely over the top and dramatic. All of the characters are very unlikeable, but i think that makes it even more fun to read. Would recommend if youre looking for a thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley & the Publisher for allowing me to read Every Last Secret.

This was an easy read and kept you wondering what the twist was going to be. It's crazy what obsession and revenge will make you do! You will love and hate some of the characters all at the same time.

I'm on a real streak when it comes to domestic thrillers. Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre is another one that is just solid all around. It took me maybe 10-20 pages to really get into it, but when I did I was hooked. It was a medium-paced thriller chocked full of just absolute insanity. It totally gave me Single White Female kind of vibes to it (and don't I feel old using that reference).

Cat has everything, and Neena will do anything to get it. Seriously, these two give new meaning to the word 'frenemies'. Everything about their relationship is like the extreme of very toxic female relationships. Like watching endless episodes of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, but with murderous intentions. In Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre you really have to keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer.

Who doesn’t love a good story about obsession? Neena is someone you’ll love to hate. Jealousy is a toxic trait and when written well, fun to be apart of! Definitely going to reading more from this author!

Meet Dr Ryder - motivational coach, new wife on the block.

Meet Neena - the epitome of a perfect Atherton Housewife.

When Dr Ryder takes a position at Neena's husband's company and then moves in next door, lines are quickly blurred. Colleague. Boss. Neighbour. Friend?

You know what they say - keep your friends close and your neighbors closer.

Cat Winthorpe is married to William, and has perfected their life together. They have money, multiple homes, a full staff, and prestige within their community. But Cat's natural grace has not come easy, and she has worked to fit into this life seamlessly. So when William hires a new employee, Neena, things begin to change. Neena and her husband buy the property next door, and suddenly Neena is a part of the Winthorpe's life. A little too enmeshed in their life, according to Cat.

I love this kind of story. The characters are not likeable, but it totally works. Their actions feel more authentic, because they are so complicated. The writing feels very refreshing, and is as light as it is complex. It will draw you in for sure. This would be a great lake or beach book.

I had high hopes for this one, but it just was not for me. I will not be finishing this book for a complete review.

*3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

This book was kinda all over for me. I really liked it at some points and some other points it kind of started to lose me. I really liked that we didn’t find out the whole story until the very end, but I like that it was teased throughout the book, so I felt like I wasn’t being teased too much by it.

But I absolutely love A.R. Torre and will read anything she writes.

This domestic thriller is full of twists, some that are easier to see coming than others. Readers that need a likable character should probably stay away from this one, but those that enjoy characters with a bit of darkness and turmoil will definitely enjoy this one!

Cat Winthrope. Neena Ryder. Two very different women who are similar in one startling way: they will do anything to get what they want. And they want the same thing. May the better woman win... Every Last Secret is a twisty, gripping thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. If you're looking for a story about conniving characters who will lower themselves to sabotage, seduction, and attempted murder, this one is definitely for you.

Did not finish, dnf. I did not connect with the writing or plot and decided to not read this one. Thank you, publisher and NetGalley for the early copy!

Could not put this book down. This author has yet to disappoint me but her writing took a turn for the better after The Ghostwriter. Another fantastic book

Cat. Neena. Two women who ultimately want the same thing and will do ANYTHING to get it. But who will ultimately come out on top?

I absolutely flew through this book. The back and forth chapters kept me racing to the finish. Who ARE these ladies and what won't they do to get ahead? I loved it through the very last page.

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you so much to net galley for sending me a copy of this book. I read the girl in 6e when it came out and loved it. This book was so dull compared to that. It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t the kind of book I thought it would be. And there was Essentially not mystery

I found this to be an enjoyable read, keeping me on my toes throughout. The storyline was written well and flowed seamlessly. I look forward to reading more by this author!

If you are up for a bit of malarkey (okay, so a lot of malarkey), I think you might love this book – I know I did. Now, for a little atmospheric music – close your eyes and “hear” or hum to yourself the opening instrumental theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and jump in for some fun…

Catherine and William Winthorpe are the center of the universe in their exclusive community. William is the handsomest, richest, and most influential man in Atherton. He adores his wife, Catherine (Cat), who owns 50% of their business holdings, sits on the Board of the most important philanthropic organizations, and wields 100% control over William’s heart and soul (or does she?). Cat and William are a team. Enter new employee Neena and husband Matt Ryder and the formula starts to bubble. Neena has her eye on the prize, she wants everything that Cat has, and she knows the Cat is no match for her!

Apparently, women need to have it all. Rich is not rich enough, perfect boobs are not perfect enough, adoring husband is not as adoring as the neighbor’s adoring husband – you get it don’t you? Every poor girl’s dream is to be beautiful and to catch the eye of a prince or in this case, capture the eye and heart of a handsome gazillionaire (WW). Perish the poor fool who attempts to stand in her way.

Now, as any woman will explain, in order to get it all, you have to be cunning, and in order to keep it all, you have to be more cunning still. From Chapter One you will rubbing your hands together and smacking your lips observing the hilarious and less than hilarious antics of Cat and Neena, and they set about besting each other with greater and greater intensity. Who will end up with the prize gazillionaire (William Winthorpe)?

These two highly talented women deftly ply their skills at subterfuge, poison, seduction, attempted murder, forgery, you name it... Apparently, men can’t keep their pants zipped, so they are easy prey for conniving women

I usually steer clear of books with this theme but every now and then, an author pitches it to perfection. Such is the case with Torre’s Every Last Secret. I found the book hugely entertaining and amusing.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for an ARC of this book which took me way too long to finally read and review. I loved it!
