Twisty and imaginative this book kept my attention! When I read the summary I knew I had to obtain an early copy and I'm so glad I did! Domestic suspense with some psychological thriller thrown in and populated with interesting and well fleshed characters equals an unputdownable book! Infidelity is a trigger for some but in this book it was a necessary part of the story. And yes I agree with most of the other reviewers, Matt was the most likeable character but in some ways I found myself cheering for Cat even though she really wasn't the most likable. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC I look forward to more from this author in this genre.

Even tho i had read the synopsis before requesting this title, still i couldn't carry on with it after reading 45 percent of it.
Unfortunately social climbers like Neena are not rare in today's society but reading her story and how she builds her life not by working honestly but by being a mischievous cheating wife and betraying her husband and also people who consider her their "friend", just made my blood boil!
I couldn't finish it, although the story and characters were beautifully created, as much so that i felt like killing Neena!😂 so you can guess, this book is a good one, just not for me!

Fantastic! I absolutely devoured this book. The storyline kept me engaged at every turn, and the characters are three-dimensional and well-developed. An opulent, monied existence opens them up to unique difficulties and drama that give life to the admonition "money can't buy happiness."

I don't want to say too much about individual characters for fear of spoiling anything for new readers. However, the layered and precise descriptions--from deep-seated motivations and relationship dynamics, to physical depictions, facial expressions, and gestures--brought each fictional being to life as if they were people I've met and interacted with.

As every excellent book should, EVERY LAST SECRET left me wanting to more. It doesn't end on a cliffhanger or remain "unfinished"; it leaves off like one would expect of a psychological thriller. Still, I'd love to know what happens next for both families. **shameless plea for a sequel**

It only took a few paragraphs before this story shocked me into speed reading so that I could find out what happens next - always a sign of another highly entertaining domestic thriller.

While this was reminiscent of Liane Moriarty and Joshilyn Jackson, and the time jumps, plot twists, big reveals, and shocking revelations all satisfied, it was the ending that really got me. These characters were beautifully flawed, cold & calculating, while also hurting and fiercely loving. I appreciated the author's care in showing these different dimensions to humanity while still weaving together a fantastical story of money, murder and betrayal. The author's note at the end tied it together nicely and left me feeling pleasantly positive.

I did see some of the major twists coming which at first was a disappointment, but by the time I reached the last page (and author's note) I was mollified by her objectives. This book just made sense.

WOW! I've read Alessandra Torre's romance books but not any of her thrillers. This book was so much more than I was expecting and I loved it! This book should be on everyone's radar this fall!

I finished Every Last Secret about a week ago and honestly I am still trying to wrap my head around everything. Neena and Matt have just moved to the brand new hoity toity neighborhood of Atherton CA. Neena, the new motivational coach for Winthorpe working for her new neighbor, William. William's wife Cat immediately takes a disliking to Neena but on the surface appears to befriend her. Throughout the story, both women surface as master manipulators. Neena of William and Cat of Neena. Neena works tirelessly to seduce William and attempt to steal him away from Cat. She wants not only his money, but lusts after his extremely good looks. She feels her husband Matt to be not good enough for her with his pudgy stature and not so great job. Cat secretly knows something is going on with Neena and her husband, but she is all about his money and will not leave him. Neena on the other hand is desperate to leave Matt. As the story goes on, multiple odd things start happening that put Matt's life in jeopardy and of course the police are first to point fingers at Neena. To me though this is where it all becomes a little confusing and I still can't fully get who did what...was Neena behind the whole ordeal or was something more sinister going on? How well do you know YOUR neighbors?

Solid 4 stars. While this was predictable by 60% or so, I enjoyed the cat and mouse of it all; the alternate perspectives were also equally compelling. Well developed characters, interesting plot. I'll definitely check out more from this author.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oo y’all this was so great! Such a good suspense and thriller. The writing was excellent and the characters were top notch. Go read it!

Torre thrills and chills in this highly stylized psychological thriller!

A.R. Torre is packed with talent. She knows how to grab your attention, lure you in, and never stop until the very last page. She writes the most addicting pageturners - particularly Every Last Secret. It was like a rich, creamy, dessert. I devoured it in one sitting!

Cat and Neena's friendship is at its face completely normal - but delve a little deeper and something unseemly lurks beneath the surface.

I love books about toxic friendships. This was so good! I gladly give this one five, bright, shiny stars!

Thanks to Netgalley and Thomas and Mercer for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Cat is married to William. He owns a business and they are super rich. Matt and Neena move into the long ago foreclosed house next door after Neena takes a job as life coach at Matt’s company. Cat and Neena become sort of frenemies as Cat senses Neena is after William, who is much richer and better looking than Matt.

3.5 stars.

This had a real housewives feel to me. Both of the women were awful. Cat had worked for nothing but loved parading her wealth around. Neena had a complex about not being as rich as Cat. I liked this book to some extent and read it quickly, but ultimately I don’t feel like there was much to this book except a lot of fluff about wealth and jealousy. There was an element of mystery regarding who had been up to what, but I don’t know that I really felt it was a mystery/thriller. Overall it was a quick escape type of read.

This was my first time hearing of author A.R. Torre, and I am so glad I did. I absolutely loved this book!

In a rich community, Cat and her husband, William, are living the dream. William owns a large business, and hires Neena as a “life coach” to boost morale in the office. Neena and her husband, Matt, also end up buying the house next door. Even though Cat initially does her best to welcome them to the community, she determines early on that Neena is not someone she wants anywhere near her...or her husband...or town.

Hell hath no fury...This is an unputdownable, delicious read. The way the two women treat each other and the way they go about their vendettas is extremely entertaining. The fact is, neither of them are someone you’d personally want in your circle of friends, but I have to say there is one I was clearly rooting for in their “war” against each other. While not necessarily groundbreaking, this managed to entertain me for the whole ride, and I could hardly contain myself while racing to the conclusion...which is a particularly satisfying one that manages to fit quite a few emotions in. I would highly recommend and have ZERO complaints about this fantastic read.

Thank you to Thomas & Mercer, A.R. Torre, and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This devious book takes the crown for the two most hateful, remarkably readable, society women fighting for the husband of one, who everybody envies and wants it seems. Successful men and women go to their despicably evil inner depths to keep their status quo Intact and although I wouldn’t normally be invested in rich privedged white women fighting over a man I wouldn’t want to be married to or work with (as these two charmers do) but with Torre’s exceptional writing I was totally invested and loved every last secret and what each and every chapter revealed. Totally a five star review for a five star story.

Normally a book about the rich just isn't my biscuits and gravy. I'm usually so far away from the characters that I can not relate. Plus I'm totally a jealous heifer.


But this book.....
It features super rich Cat Winthrope. Even her name sounds rich doesn't it? She is happily married to a rich guy and doesn't do anything for herself. She has staff for that piddly little stuff.


Then her husband decides to hire a "life coach" named Neena. Neena has had all the plastic surgeries and the old heifer married too. Does that stop her?


The two women have to sorta be friends since Neena and her husband moved next door. But that works out real well and then the cat claws come out.


And it's wonderful. Move over Housewhores...there is some new bitches in town.
Booksource: Netgalley in exchange for review

Whoofta, A.R. Torre offers an unbelievable, fast-paced domestic drama with Every Last Secret. Every Last Secret offers readers and insight into the lives of the rich and powerful and those who want to climb the social ladder. One would think that the lives of the wealthy and elite would be easy, fun and predictable but A.R. Torre proves that is not the case in this novel. Enter Cat and Neena. Cat is a well established socialite who lives the "dream" life in a wealthy San Fransico suburb with a powerful, devoted husband. Cat's life is seemingly perfect until her new next door neighbor, Neena, movies in with her eyes set on Cat's husband. Will Cat's husband remain devoted or will her life crumble to the ground? Remember, all is not what it seems in suburbia. Every Last Secret gets a strong 5/5 from me!!

3.5 - 4 Stars

Silicon Valley.
Cat and William seem to have it all. The perfect marriage. The perfect California castle. The über successful tech company. The perfect social standing - they're the envy of all their neighbors.

Neena and Matt. They don't have much of anything. Matt loves Neena with everything he has. But that is and never will be enough for Neena. She wants Cat's life. She wants the billionaire husband. The house. The company. She wants to be queen of Palo Alto. She thinks she deserves it so much more than everybody else.

But Cat is not as easy a victim as Neena had hoped she'd be.

Let the games begin!

══════════════════

Phew.
I don't know what to say. I usually don't like those kinds of books. The ones where we don't know if there'll be a happy end - of if there even is someone we want that happy end for.

Most people won't want to read this book, because cheating is a hard limit for most readers. And it is for me too. At least in a romance. But this is not a romance. Yes, it's about two couples and there's a lot of love and affection. But it's more of a SOCIOPATHIC-SUBURBIAN-MILLIONAIRES-ROMANTIC-PSYHCO-THRILLER ... or something like that. ☺

We have Cat and William - who we are kind of rooting for. But I guess some will love the other couple more. But it's basically Cat's story. Neena and Matt are the new neighbors and Neena wants William and all that comes with him. Money, social standing. Everything.

But she didn't really count on his clueless-housewifey Cat to be such a strong opponent.

This was a really interestinig story. A beautifully written story really. And I kinda hated reading it. LOL! I wanted to DNF several times. I swore to myself that I would delete the book as soon as William even so much as leaned toward Neena for a cheating kiss. And I almost did. But I didn't. I had to find out how this all would end - and I'm not one of those idiots who reads the end of a book first. And now that I'm done with it - I'm really happy that I read it all.

I'm still not a fan of cheating - there's really no justification for cheating in my mind. If you want out of a relationship - do it. Leave. Cheating just doesn't make any sense at all. And if you're such a weak idiot that you can't resist such a b*tch, then I don't need you anyway.
BUT - William was kind of a great guy - even though we hate him sometimes. And we hate Neena. And we love poor Matt. But we also hate them all for being idiots and crazy. But we still love them all. Ugh - I don't make any sense - read this book. Don't give up - don't delete if from your kindle once you encounter a part that you don't like - keep on reading!

I really loved it in the end. The end was good. Still not a life I would want to be in, but still good!
This was a really great story. I so need to see this on Netflix one day!

Uhm, about the cover? This scene doesn't happen - but while I was reading I was sure that it would come! That it would be a scene where they all travel to Hawaii together!!! Was this scene cut? Or was it never in the book? Because I was prepared to throw my kindle out the window if William had asked Neene to join them on their trip! LOL!!!

I enjoyed every page of Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre!

Welcome to the neighborhood. Watch your husband, watch your friends, and watch your back.

Cat Winthorpe has worked hard to get what she has: a gorgeous home; social standing; and William, her successful, handsome husband. Then a friendly new couple moves into the estate next door. While cautious, a good neighbor like Cat greets them with open arms and warm hospitality.

Neena Ryder isn’t a fellow lady of leisure. A life coach with off-the-rack dresses, personal issues, and a husband who hasn’t delivered, she’s anxious to move up in the world. This beautiful new town is a step in the right direction. It’s also making Neena aware of what she doesn’t have. Namely, William. When Neena’s infatuation escalates into obsession, it’s just a matter of eliminating a few obstacles to get the life she wants. The life next door.

As Neena’s secret fixation grows, so does her friendship with Cat. But beneath their cordial interactions is a wealth of temptations, secrets, and toxic jealousy. For both women, the desire for a perfect life can turn perfectly dangerous.

This was a fun, twisty story of two women. They hate each other but pretend to be friends for the sake of their wealthy neighborhood and husbands. There’s Neena who is married to dumpy, boring Matt. And then Cat, married to Neena’s boss, William who is smart and gorgeous.

Neena is hell-bent on having an affair with William and she always gets what she wants! The chapters alternate between Neena and Cat’s point of view and they are both so deliciously evil. This is suspense but there’s humor too and it’s such a smooth read that kept my attention from beginning to end.

I cannot wait to read more from this author!

This one comes out on October 13, it will only be $3.99! That’s a great deal for such a fantastic book. Pre-order here!

Cat Winthorpe is definitely woman goals. She is the type of wife that I hope I would be if I was rich and my husband had an affair. I absolutely flew through this book, I was hooked. This author will definitely be a go to for me from now on.

Well, I raise my glass to Alessandra Torre after read ultra-dangerous, bat shit serial killer woman killer character who locked herself into her apartment not to harm the people in “Girl In 6E” series! I realized she may waltz between steamy smart and twisty romances (Black Lies truly blew my mind) and sneaky thrillers
(Ghostwriter is one of my favorite work of hers.) So when I found out she turned back to the dark side one more time, I heard “Imperial March” played in my ear, I clicked request button without thinking a second to see what kind batshit, mind blowing characters she created and what kind of absurdly complicated situations she put them into.

Welcome to the lovely neighborhood with two so called friends Neena and Cat who are ready to carve each other’s eyes and their fake friendship slowly blows up because they declare war after they start their fight for gorgeous and charming William who is also Cat’s husband and Neena’s boss.
Neena is already getting sick of being married with ordinary and ultra-boring Matt (I started yawning at each part I saw his name on the page!) Neena always gets what she wants but now she has a tough competitor.

Trust me! Both of the characters are so unlikable, dangerous, evil and when you say: “No, she can do that! It’s extreme! It’s ridiculous!” But a few minutes later you realized: Well, she did, didn’t she?

You think those woman cannot be more disgusting, despicable or nastier but at each chapter they exceed those limits and makes you shock with their rottenness! Shame on them! Their catfight for a guy who doesn’t truly deserve their attention made me shocked several times! I think they desire not a charming, hot guy: they desire the throne! Both of them want to see the other one’s give up and surrender. This is just the game for them and they want to win by bending the rules.

Overall: Normally I give 3 stars to the books with unlikable characters! (I wanted to puke on their heads at several times and sing at them till they die from ear bleeding. -That’s why I am banned from entire karaoke bars in the US!-) But this book was extremely funny, entertaining and it was like watching a box match between Cruella de Vil and Nurse Ratched. The writing is fascinatingly riveting and I couldn’t put it down! So I’m giving extra half stars for the brilliant writing and smart mind of the author that I always admire and I’m rounding up 3.5 stars to 4!

It was humorous, fast pacing, extremely evil reading with the worst villanelle characters you may truly love to hate!

Special thanks to NetGalley and Thomas& Mercer for sharing this page turner ARC with me in exchange my honest review.

Thoroughly enjoyed every page! The author moves back and forth from points of view in short chapter breaks which allowed the plot to have a layered effect and remain intriguing. The plot moves quickly and I finished the book in a day, not wanting to put it down. Another, recommendation to add the you TBR if you enjoy a good thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley and Thomas & Mercer for the opportunity to review this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Every Last Secret by A.R. Torre is an incredibly twisted and seductive thriller. It left me speechless as I could not put the book down. I loved the well developed characters and the story being told from different POVs. There are lots of secrets, manipulation, jealousy, and fake friendships. Excellent thriller!!!
