✨ Deep Liessss
✨ Twisted ending
✨ True Love





✨ Hannah is the main character in this story.
They were moving into a nice neighbourhood and met some nosey neighbours.
Until by coincidence , Hannah met an old friend from her past life. Which ended up dead all of a sudden.

This is the way Hannah’s old life coming back. What happen to Hannah’s past? Who is she really and why it hunted her?


✨ the narrator of this book is amazing! ( Imogen church) she did well execute the book. The drama, anger and even the cries. No wonder I just stop what I’m doing when she is in the moment. Well done.

✨ I love how supportive Hannah’s partner’ Jasper.
After what lies and hardship they encounter, he still supports her. Till the end. That gives me the plus points for this book.
Well worth it.




✨ Thankyou @dreamscape select for the opportunity to have this earc for a honest review.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC.

I wanted to love this book but I didn’t. I am going to give it another try reading it rather than the audiobook version. The narrator did a good job, but I personally didn’t love listening to them. At times it was a bit slow, and I also found the timeline shifts to be confusing in audiobook format. I had a hard time keeping up with the characters and names.
There’s a good premise here but I will need another attempt to see if I actually liked the story.

A gripping read! Hannah, Jasper and their young daughter, Pia, move into their dream home. When Hannah realises that she knows their neighbour, a retired policeman, she is terrified. It is apparent that Hannah has a secret, but it definitely wasn’t what I thought it would be.

The book switches back and forth between the present day and ten years previously and we gradually learn what led Hannah to be in the position she is today.

I liked Hannah and felt that all the characters were well developed, realistic and if not all likeable, then definitely relevant and believable. There were a few good twists, the last one though, was a jaw-dropper!

The audiobook narration by Imogen Church was fabulous - she is hands down my favourite narrator!

Hannah and her partner and daughter have moved into a beautiful gated community where Hannah can finely feel safe. Safe from her past, a past her partner knows nothing about. But soon she is recognized by a neighbor, a retired police officer and strange things begin to happen. When the neighbor is found dead Hannah is suspected and then her whole world begins to unravel in a most frightening way. The secrets Hannah has fashioned her life on are now out. This is a really fun surprising thriller that I could not stop listening to. If you like thick twisty plots that keep you guessing this domestic thriller is for you. The audio version was excellent with great narration. Highly recommended. 5 stars.
Many thanks to Net Galley Nd Dreamscape Select | Storm Publishing for a chance to listen/read an ARC version of this audio book. All opinions are my own.

Overall I enjoyed this thriller, even though in the back of my mind I kept thinking that Hannah's big secret wasn't something she couldn't have told her husband from the start. She would have still been in danger when they moved, but she would have had him on her side to begin with! That aside, the way the different characters played into the story was well done and not knowing where the threat really was kept that suspense going.

Thanks NetGalley for the ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review!

Title: Your Little Lies
Author: Sue Fortin
Format: 🎧
Narrator: Imogene Church
Publisher: Dreamscape Select/ Strom Publishing
Genre: Psychological Domestic Thriller
Publishing Release Date was: September 6, 2024
My Rating: 3.5
Pages 338

Jasper and Hannah, along with their seven-year-old daughter Pia and their dog, Luna moves to beautiful Silverbanks, a gated community with a good safety record.
Hannah has been desperate for safety and thought she could found it in Silverbanks; however, until she meets their next door neighbors Bryan and Sandra Chamberton. Hannah recognizes Bryan a former police detective from her "former" life— he remembers her as Laurel and helped her in a murder investigation.

Story alternates between Hannah present and eleven years ago her past life as Laurel;
It appears Hannah/Laurel’s past has caught up with her and she is fearful for her new life.

I enjoyed this book and although it kept me curious at times I found it to be a bit slow. I found myself liking and then thinking Hannah/Laurel sure can be unlikable with that foul language.

I believe the narrator performance of some characters was great however some not so much. It seems my like and/or dislike of the characters was based on her performance of them.
I did like the ending!
I want to thank NetGalley and Dreamscape Select/Storm Publishing for this audiobook.
Publishing Release Date scheduled for September 6, 2024.

Hannah, Jasper and daughter Pia have moved into a lovely new home in an exclusive community. Everything’s rosey until Hannah meets her new next door neighbor, a police officer, and possibly the one person who knows about the past she’s kept hidden from her family. A solid domestic thriller

Well, Sue Fortin has done it again! What a great book! I didn't see all the twists and turns. Would highly recommend.

What an incredible story! I can’t even begin to imagine the hardships Hannah endured and the dark, twisted thoughts that can lurk in people’s minds. It’s so well-written that I have a hard time believing it’s not someone’s real-life experience.

Your little lies by Sue Fortin, narrated by Imogen Church. There is way too much in this long book to give a brief summary so I will say Hannah and Jarvis move into a gated community with their daughter Pia when Mrs Rooke the head of the HMO comes over to introduce her self on the first day she tells Jasper all about their neighborhood but it’s when she mentions the neighbor next-door that Hannah is filled with many emotions fear nervousness and dread it seems he is someone from her past and it’s a past that of course she never shared with her new husband Japerr. In the other POV we meet Laurel Matt and their son Declan when The reason for these two POV‘s being connected comes out in the consequences of trying to hide it it may just change everything Hannah loves about her life. I want to say I thought this book was way too long but having said that I still thought it was really good it was well written and despite the ending not be the not down reveal thrillers usually are I was still happy with it, I just think it could’ve been cut down a little more so as not to be over 10 hours long. I don’t like long books on my birthday but by the time I figured out how long this book was I was already invested. It’s long books don’t bother you or if you really enjoy thrillers I would still recommend it as I said it really was a good book. I have read other books by this author and really like them as far as the narrator goes I mean it’s Imogen Church of course she did awesome.#NetGalley, #DreamscapeSelect, #SueFortin, #ImogenChurch, #YourLittleLies,

The premise of this book is super straight forward: a woman has a secret and she somehow ends up moving next door to one of the only people in the world who know that secret. It could have been predictable and boring, but it wasn't! I was really fast paced and I was genuinely surprised by most of the twists.

I loved the contract between then and now, with Matt being so god awful and Jasper being a wonderful angel. I never had a hard time with the alternating timelines and I loved the ending!

The only part I wasn't the biggest fan of was Daniel's character. He was weird and creepy and some of his storylines were so unrealistic.

As far as the audiobook goes, Imogen Church never misses! Loved her.

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.

I loved the twists and turns! Hannah was an incredibly strong woman, determined to keep her family safe. But the secrets and lies rippled through the pages and threatened to undo everything. Plenty of bad guys - but also, plenty of good! Highly recommended.

This is my first book by this author, and it won’t be my last! This psychological thriller alternated between two times/lives of the narrator. It was beautifully done so that the story was able to develop without any confusion. The book had twist turns and surprises throughout. And the narration was great as well. Thank you to NetGalley and the author and the publisher for this advanced copy.

Wow! This one gave me all the feels, but NOT in a good way! 😮😬

Hannah and Jasper are doing ok! Both work hard and are very happy raising their beautiful girl, Pia ! They have just moved into a new place, and are surprised at just how much the community is involved in the minutiae of what goes on in each townhome! But they are ok with it! They love their new place!

As time goes on, Hannah starts to get some disturbing notes…and, one night their yard is totally vandalized! And she’s starting to get worried…
You see, Hannah had a totally different life…before she met Jasper….

And, Jasper knows nothing about it…

Holy crap! I can’t even tell you how many times I was reading (listening)…with one eye open! And then I’m tapping my foot on the floor… Gasping out loud! (If I bit my nails, they’d be down to the quick!)

The last hour or so of the book, I WAS holding MY breath!

And. Although I had worked out my theories throughout the book, I was wrong on pretty much EVERY ONE of them!!

But…The Ending Was perfect!!! I could not have asked for a better outcome!

And, That’s. All. I’m. Giving. You!!
Please check it out if it sounds like something you’d like! It was very different!

4 1/2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 for me, round up to 5!

Phenomenal audiobook. This was so well written and full of so many twists and turns and surprises. Definitely a lot I didn’t expect. Also one of my favorite narrators too!

At the opening of "Your Little Lies", Hannah and her partner Jasper move to a luxurious community on the beach with their young daughter, Pia. But as soon as they start making themselves at home, Hannah crosses paths with someone she recognizes from her former life. Coincidence? Maybe - except pretty soon afterwards, there is a murder, and Hannah realizes that all her little lies have finally caught up with her.

The book was well-written and fast-paced, and managed to hold my attention even when it frustrated me, so I would definitely read another book by this author. But while I really wanted to love this book and thought it had an interesting premise and a strong opening, it fizzled fairly quickly, climaxed early, and was too obvious and rushed towards the end.

Specifically, when the (first, and not at all surprising) big reveal/climax happened, I was honestly confused as to why we saw that confrontation so early on and wasn't sure where the story would go from there. Then, once I realized where it was headed, it was very obvious very quickly what the final twist would be.

Now, I often figure out major twists, so this is not something I hold against any book. However, there were other aspects that bugged me. First off, things started going awry for me at the introduction of the would-be affair with Daniel, which felt completely inorganic and forced to me and never read like credible attraction.

Second, the whole family situation (which I will keep vague so as not to give anything away). It's clear that the setup was trying to imply something completely different had happened to them. When we finally find out what did, in fact, transpire, my lawyer brain immediately questioned everything. I am not a UK barrister, but I am fairly certain none of that would hold up in court! Which then ruined the book a fair bit for me, because it felt both like a cheap plot trick and because so much of Hannah's character arc is built on that.

Overall, the story was just absolutely implausible and also relied on too many coincidences for my liking (I guess I like the "evil mastermind orchestrating every detail" version more, though that's on me).

I listened to the audio book, and really enjoyed the audio production. The narrator did a truly excellent job.

Hannah and Jasper have just moved into their new home in Silverbanks. It is their dream home. But when Hannah meets her next door neighbor, she realizes her secret is not as safe as she thought.

This story is a bit wordy in places, but I was intrigued with Hannah’s story. I am going to try and not give anything away.

Hannah has a big secret and if it comes out several people will die, including her family. Then strange things start to happen and Hannah discovers another danger. Then there is the ending…oh boy!! What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

The narrator, Imogen Church, just did an ok job. There was one voice that got on my last nerve. Luckily it was a minor character.

Need a novel with so many twists and turns you are questioning yourself…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
