WHOA!! This book was so good! I was pulled in from the very beginning, and the fast pace, twists, and drama kept me entertained until the very end. This was my first book by this author, and I plan to read more.
This was such a powerful thriller. There were moments that made me sad and moments that made me gasp out loud. It was such a compelling story that kept me captivated the more the plot revealed itself. There were twists that I definitely didn't predict. The character development was top notch as I felt like I really knew these characters. I was on the edge of my seat the entire ride.
Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This is one of the best books I have read!!
It had me chasing my tail backwards and forwards trying to figure out what would happen next, it certainly gave my mind a work out.. when. Hannah, Jasper and their daughter Pia move to an up market gated property with views of the beach, they have it all or do they?? One of them is hiding a deep dark secret, who ? And what? As I made my way through the book, it was intense....... I have never read anything by this author before, but if all her other books are this good, she has a new fan. Definitely recommend, if your looking for a physcological thriller.

This book was a major step up from the last one I read by Sue Fortin . This domestic thriller was absolutely fantastic—full of emotions, tension, and unexpected twists. It grabbed me right from the start and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through. The characters felt so real and had great depth, each one stirring different emotions as the story unfolded. The tension in certain scenes was super intense, and the pacing was spot-on. Sue Fortin has definitely become one of my go-to authors. If you're after a fast-paced domestic thriller, this is one you won't want to miss!
Thank you @netgalley and @stormbooks_co for the ARC 😍

Firstly thank you to the publishers for my early access in exchange for a review..
I spent the afternoon reading this and loved it .
Packed with suspense and unpredictable this is a fast paced thriller that will have you trusting no one .
All is not what is seems with anyone living in an idyllic neighbourhood and it was fascinating as the secrets were unravelled .
A great book that is perfect escapism !

This was a nice twisty thriller. I didn't see the twists coming and I was unable to put this down. Nice one!

Your Little Lies is a gently paced thriller with small town vibes.
It wasn’t entirely my cup of tea - I felt that a lot of the complication could have been resolved more easily, Hannah could have shared her ‘big secret’ with her partner much earlier without concern, and some aspects felt too implausible to be coincidental.
However on the whole it was an enjoyable read, with an interesting premise. The small town setting made for a cosy and intriguing location, and I really loved Jasper - he was a breath of fresh air in this town full of deadly secrets! 3.5 stars rounded up.
Thank you Storm Publishing, Dreamscape Select and NetGalley for a copy of this book. Opinions expressed are my own.

YOUR LITTLE LIES by Sue Fortin kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
When Hannah, Jasper and seven year old Pia Gunderson move to the English town of Silverbanks and into an exclusive gated community, Hannah believes she may finally be safe from her past. That is, until she meets her neighbour Brian Chamberton. He is part of the history that she has tried so long to outrun. She finds some solace in neighbour Annabelle, a shoulder to cry on, escape for a few hours and a good bottle of wine. As she gets closer to Annabelle, strange things begin happening around the home. And then a murder rocks the small community and Hannah is left wondering if she is really safe or merely locked in a gilded cage.
Meanwhile interior designer Laurel Jordan and husband Matt are both trying to launch their businesses into the stratosphere with Daniel Sully, who takes a shine to Laurel, almost to the point of stalking her. When Daniel hires both Laurel and Matt, she is thrust into close contact with Daniel. Does he have interior motives? Is she leading him on?
These carefully constructed lives are on a collision course and Hannah is forced to reach out to get help from a most unlikely source. The final confrontation blew me away.
I have enjoyed Sue Fortin’s previous novels for their domestic suspense. This one did not disappoint. Her writing is clear and concise which leads to a very enjoyable read that kept me up. I will continue to follow along for her next psychological thrill ride.
Thank you to NetGalley and storm publishing for this ARC opportunity. All opinions are my own and given voluntarily.

Hannah and her partner, Jasper, just moved to the luxury community of their dreams. What are the odds they move right next door to the person who knows Hannah’s secret and can turn her life upside down?
This story is primarily told in the present with flashbacks to 10 years into the past. The flashbacks were my favorite part and really captured my attention to see how Hannah got to where she was. It was impossible not to sympathize with all she endured and overcame, however the past sometimes has a way of catching up with you.
There were times where I felt like some of the plot was rushed through and would have been more enjoyable if it was dragged out a little more, but otherwise I thought this was an entertaining read!
Thank you to netgalley and storm publishing for the opportunity to read this arc!

There are sinister vibes from the onset of this emotional, pacy, psychological suspense. Hannah, Jasper, her partner and Pia have moved into an elite coastal resort with many rules. Hannah has secrets, and you realise that, drawn into her complex web of lies, they could detrimentally affect her new life. I like the intensity which builds with every twist. I also like how the author draws your empathy for Hannah and the situation she finds herself in, even though she is flawed in some respects. It's a compelling domestic suspense.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher.

*4.5 Stars*
Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.
An intriguing read. What Hannah went through for so many years because of the things she'd heard and seen. After meeting Daniel her life changed. So many secrets and lies.
Hannah had a good life with Jasper, Pia and Luna but would her past catch up to her?

Page turning thriller! I was up all night reading this and did it one sitting!!!! Edge of the seat and unpredictable.

This one was just Okay for me, the pacing was a little off, it was truly slow in some parts and I lost interest. It was an interesting story with a surprising twist, but I just wanted a little more from it !

An entertaining read.
We meet Hannah as she is about to move into a new home with her partner and daughter. A new start that doesn’t go exactly to plan.
The reader gradually finds out about Hannah’s past but does this have any impact on her life now?
A few twists and turns and unexpected happenings keeps the reader engaged.

In "Your Little Lies" by Sue Fortin, the family of Hannah, Jasper, and their daughter Pia relocates to the opulent gated community of Silverbanks, with aspirations of finding security and contentment in their new environment. The residence boasts exquisite amenities, including direct access to the beach, and the community presents itself as supportive and tightly-knit. However, Hannah's perception of safety is upended upon encountering their neighbor, Bryan, who is connected to a traumatic history she has concealed from Jasper. As minor yet disturbing incidents begin to occur, Hannah comes to the realization that her previously secure refuge may, in fact, conceal latent threats to her family's well-being.
The narrative oscillates between the present and a decade earlier, gradually revealing the intricate history of Hannah, formerly known as Laurel. As the plot unfolds, Hannah wrestles with her past and the ramifications of long-buried secrets that emerge, culminating in a murder investigation that calls her innocence into question. The story is characterized by profound character development, suspenseful plot twists, and emotional richness, establishing it as a compelling psychological thriller. Although the length of the novel may occasionally seem excessive, it sustains a vigorous pace and culminates in unforeseen revelations that engage readers until the final pages.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the advance review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Sue Fortin's Your Little Lies is a gripping psychological thriller that plays with the unsettling contrast between idyllic surroundings and the dark secrets that lurk beneath the surface. With its atmospheric tension and layered characters, this novel keeps readers hooked as it explores the fragile boundary between safety and danger, trust and deception.
The novel introduces us to Hannah and Jasper, a seemingly happy couple who have just moved into their dream home in Silverbanks—a luxurious gated community that promises security and serenity. With stunning views and direct access to the beach, it seems like the perfect place for their family, especially for raising their beloved daughter, Pia. However, the peace and calm Hannah craves quickly unravels when she meets her new next-door neighbor. The flicker of recognition in his eyes sends Hannah’s world into a tailspin, transforming her dream home into a place of anxiety and suspicion.
Hannah is a well-crafted character whose past haunts her present. Fortin expertly weaves in subtle hints about Hannah's troubled history, slowly building suspense as her sense of paranoia escalates. Hannah's inner turmoil is relatable and palpable, as the author carefully walks the line between whether her fears are justified or a product of her own mind. Her interactions with her neighbor are tense and filled with an undercurrent of danger, leaving readers questioning his true intentions at every turn.
What sets Your Little Lies apart from many thrillers is Fortin’s ability to create a claustrophobic atmosphere within the seemingly perfect setting of Silverbanks. The gated neighborhood, with its pristine image and close-knit residents, becomes an unsettling backdrop for the psychological warfare that plays out. The contrast between the beautiful surroundings and Hannah’s increasing unease adds to the suspense, making the reader feel as though danger could strike at any moment.
Jasper, Hannah’s husband, plays an interesting role in the novel. His protectiveness and apparent care for Hannah initially seem comforting, but as the story progresses, his character takes on more ambiguous qualities. The dynamics between Hannah and Jasper add to the tension, as their relationship begins to feel strained under the weight of Hannah’s suspicions and fear.
The pacing of the novel is steady, with Fortin dropping small, unnerving details that build toward a climactic revelation. While some elements of the plot may feel familiar to fans of domestic thrillers—such as the tension between neighbors and the secrets hidden behind closed doors—Fortin keeps the story fresh by delving deep into Hannah’s psychological state. The twists and turns are effective, with the final reveal providing a satisfying resolution to the suspense that’s been building throughout the novel.
However, while the story is engaging and tense, some readers may feel that certain aspects of the plot could have been developed further, particularly regarding Hannah's past and the motivations of secondary characters. Nonetheless, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise well-constructed and gripping read.
Final Thoughts:
Your Little Lies is a compelling psychological thriller that draws readers into a seemingly perfect world filled with hidden dangers. Sue Fortin skillfully builds suspense through her well-drawn characters, atmospheric setting, and unsettling twists. Fans of domestic thrillers and slow-burning suspense will find much to enjoy in this dark and tense exploration of trust, fear, and secrets. A solid 4-star read that will leave readers questioning the true meaning of safety and the lies we tell ourselves to maintain it.

WOW WOW WOW!! This book was phenomenal and I could not put it down! Gripping, suspenseful and keeps you guessing until the end. First book I’ve read by this author - I’m definitely a new fan.

Thank you for being chosen to read this advance copy of Your Little Lies on my kindle. It was a riveting story of a woman in witness protection in the UK. Told through Hannah/Lauren's viewpoint in the present and the past.
I was unprepared by the twists and turns that developed in the plot. It was a quick and mesmerizing read for sure. Would be a great choice for book clubs.

This was another good thriller by Sue Fortin. A bit slow at first, but full of many surprises. I did not see the end coming. I enjoyed this mystery thriller.
