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.

"Your Little Lies" was published on September 6, 2024.</i>

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.

Your Little Lies by Sue Fortin is a gripping psychological thriller that takes you on a tense journey with the main character, Hannah. Hannah is a woman trying to keep her life together after past trauma, and as events unfold, she becomes suspicious of her new neighbor, believing he might be hiding something sinister. The story is told from Hannah’s perspective, allowing readers to experience her inner turmoil and growing paranoia firsthand. Fortin did a great job providing enough background on the characters to help us understand their thoughts and motivations, which made the twists feel more impactful.

Although some of the story’s events felt a bit far-fetched, the characters and their development kept me fully engaged. The ending wraps everything up nicely, which I appreciated, with no lingering loose ends.

The audiobook is narrated by the brilliant Imogene Church, and as always, her performance is supreme. She brings Hannah’s character to life, adding a layer of intensity to the already suspenseful plot.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sue Fortin, and Storm Publishing for the opportunity to review the audiobook. This is a solid, enjoyable read for fans of psychological thrillers, especially if you like books filled with twists and turns that keep you guessing.

Your Little Lies
An Addictive and Gripping Domestic Thriller
By: Sue Fortin
Narrated by: Imogen Church
Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins
Release date: 09-06-24
Publisher: Storm Publishing

Omg this was such an unbelievable story. Lots of twists and shocking moments but it was also beautiful too. There were some heavy topics like suicide and death discussed but also just so cleaver how it all unfolded and we learned new twists. I will say it does leave one question hanging but overall loved how it all came together. Highly recommend this one for all my thriller lovers.

Thanks to NetGalley for the audio version!!

Your Little Lies, a novel by Sue Fortin, narrated by Imogen Church was enjoyable because the author is a beautiful writer and Church is an absolutely stellar narrator- one of my favorites. I definitely rooted for Laurel/Hannah the whole time–she is a likable and sympathetic protagonist, if a bit slow on the uptake. (I was willing to chalk it up to shock and sadness, but when she was oblivious to being farmed even after the person doing it had literally spelled out her intension just a few chapters before... sigh. I might have shouted a bit in my car.) All the twists were visible from miles away, every clue so blatant it was impossible to miss. Readers who prefer mysteries where they know exactly what's coming will absolutely love this book. Personally, I like to be surprised, if not by every twist, then at least one or two. Giving 4 stars because Your Little Lies is so well written and narrated. Taking off 1 star for the lack of suspense and the frustratingly oblivious protagonist.

I really enjoyed this book. Really really did. A mystery, wrapped in an upscale gated community with a side of intriguing neighbors including a mysterious man. Parents Hannah and Jasper begin their new life in this enclave and all is well.....until Hannah catches the eye of someone from her past she should never have seen again.

Sue Fortin is a new, to me, author, and she managed to create compelling characters, a past and present timeline which flowed, lots to guess and the publisher smartly chose accomplished narrator Imogen Church to deliver the story.

So, why not a 5 star? Oh my gosh it was too long. When I thought this one was done and the mystery told I happened to look at my ipod and saw there was STILL 3 more hours to go. I was shocked. It was just too much at nearly 12 hours. The story would have been so much more enjoyable had it been tightened up.

I read this as a book and loved it so I was overjoyed to have the opportunity to listen to it. A good book with my absolute favorite narrator! Sign me right up. Oh I loved it so much! It was even better as an audiobook.
I was not surprised about the "bad guy" but I was surprised by the wonderful ending. I love the way the author revealed little bits of Hannah's past. It was the best!
