Anxious and stressed, Josephine a tightly wound helicopter mum. And then there are the lies. But Joe is determined to keep her family together no matter what. An interesting and engaging psychological thriller!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC!

So many secrets. So many lies. Alot more than three! This books is about so much more than the blurb..and ultimately for me about what a mother's love does,can do, and will do to protect those she loves.
I loved this one. The author did a great job of ramping of the intensity, intrigue and angst for what was to come next.
Jo was at the centre of this and she came across as both beleiavaand flawed. But really a mum, and how she navigates a shitty husband!
Things come into her life which end uo causing more rifts to.come undone.
A brilliant read.

I could not put this one down. It was an amazing read! So many twists and lies. This one will have you reading through the night. A gripping psychological thriller. Loved it! Realistic plot line and charecters.

I absolutely loved this fast paced thriller!

Jo, a mum of two is struggling, with her husband hardly around, her son's severe allergies and her tween daughters attitude, she agrees to take on an exchange student in the hope it might repair her relationship with her daughter and she's got experience managing a child with allergies so feels she is the best foot for a teenage girl to stay with for 6 weeks.
I've read a lot of thrillers and kinda thought I knew where this one was heading but I was totally wrong. This is a wild ride and the secrets and twists keep coming!
I read this in one sitting as couldn't put it down, I absolutely needed to know what came next!
I loved how the main character was relatable but also flawed and unreliable! But her husband....ergh don't get me started!
I want to share more but I really think it's best to go in knowing as little as possible. This is an amazing thriller, not to be missed!

had high hopes for this psychological thriller releasing this month from Danielle Stewart but I found that the description didn’t really match how the book was written. It was still a good read in my eyes and was fast paced, the progression of the story made sense and the underlying tension from the main characters was palpable. The main idea’s were definitely clear and some of the twists were interesting to say the least. One of which I didn’t see coming and actually had to back track a chapter because I had missed a certain part. A theme that shone through in this book was also a mother's love/care for what she would do to protect her children even if it made her come across a certain way. I found the last chapter didn’t add to the story at all even though some of the context was sprinkled throughout the book but it didn’t add anything to the main idea of the book.

ARC from @ and releasing on 13/03
Thank you for the opportunity to read this pre-release.

Three Little Lies is an engaging and emotional novel that centers around the complexities of family dynamics, trust, and secrets. The story follows Jo, who opens her home to an exchange student, only to find that welcoming a stranger into their lives brings unexpected challenges. As Jo, her two children and husband navigate their new family arrangement, they begin to uncover hidden truths that test their relationships and force them to confront their own secrets.

Danielle Stewart does a fantastic job of creating tension and suspense, with each character’s emotional journey unfolding in unexpected ways. I loved the depth of the family relationships and the complexities of navigating trust and change within a household. The pacing was just right, keeping me hooked without feeling rushed, and the twists were cleverly done - I honestly didn’t see some of them coming!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the chance to read this ARC, I’ll definitely be checking out more by this author.

Is there a perfect mother? The perfect housewife?
Can one say trying to be perfect can get a bit out of hand?
And, lets add in so many lies and secrets…..
Perfect storm for a gripping psychological thriller that will have you reading way late into the night.
This was one crazy story!

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture and the author for the opportunity to read this book for my honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book grabs you from the first page—no slow burn, no buildup, just straight into the drama. While that makes for a quick, compulsive read, I think it loses something by not letting the tension and darkness build more gradually. The atmosphere had so much potential but never quite reached the level of suspense I was hoping for.

The twist with Eden? Fantastic. Easily my favorite part of the book. But the mother’s “big secret” felt... underwhelming. After all the setup, I expected something way more shocking, and when it was finally revealed, I actually groaned out loud. Still, the fast pacing and constant twists kept me entertained, and I flew through it. Solid read, but I wanted more.

3.5 ⭐️

Thank you netgally for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was very different from what I was expecting. I expected the book to start at the date night and the three lies that were talked about on the back of the book. I did like to get to know everybody and what the situation was with Eden there. It just didn’t really feel like a thriller to me.

In my opinion they did the plot twist too early. It came around 70 procent of the book which kinda made me loose the tention for the rest of the book. The plot twist was very good tho! I was not expecting that. I also liked the multiple pov’s at the end, the first chapter where you can read Eden’s pov was *chefs kiss*

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

Three Little Lies was such a good book. It started out slow (my only dislike) but once it picked up, it was so good. I honestly thought it was similar to some other thrillers that I have read but then it turned out to be completely different. The twists and turns we something that I did not see coming, I already really appreciated how the ending wrapped everything up.

I will be checking out more books by Danielle Stewart as I really enjoyed this book.

Danielle Stewart did not disappoint in this thriller. I've read my fair share of thrillers and felt like this one was starting out the same at the others but I was incredibly wrong.

The beginning does start at a slower pace but it picks up and keeps you second guessing until the end

This book keeps you on your toes. Initially you think’Oh I know where this is going’ but then … change of thought and be taken down another thought track. Thisis masterful writing which I so admire. Who is telling the truth? Whose truth is more understandable? The characters, who at times you love or dislike, are real and totally believable. This book had me hooked from the get go and I felt quite sad when it ended.

Thank you Bookouture, Danielle Stewart, and NetGalley for the copy of Three Little Lies.

This book had me hooked from the beginning! I thought it was going to be similar to some other books I’ve read, but boy was I surprised. Definitely a good read!!

This novel is a fast-paced thrill ride filled with unexpected twists and turns.
I read once, "Parents can choose and mould their children as they want, but children can't choose their parents; they have to learn to adjust and live with it."

The story highlights and delves into the struggles of parenthood. There are no perfect parents in the world, but many do put in the effort to be better for their children while trying to keep their relationships intact. Parenting is a complex journey, and I believe there's no clear right or wrong when it comes to parents worrying about their kids, but we must also consider our children's lives, thoughts and opinions.

It was a good ride, and the book discusses what a mum would do for her kids, presenting a compelling contrast between two different mums. When you thought you had figured it out, the plot takes you by surprise—it's refreshingly unpredictable. but the majority of the revelations caught me completely off guard. It's not as gobsmacked as you expected, but it's certainly enough to keep you engaged and thinking, "Wow, I didn't see that coming!"


I struggled a bit with the slower pace at the beginning, and the main character, Jo, really got under my skin for acting what she's been acting the whole time. The overwhelming grip on her kids. I felt a sense of suffocation, as if I were in Megan's shoes, trapped in her world. However, as the story unfolded, I began to understand Jo and everyone involved a bit better. I am pleased that the ending doesn't feel rushed, and it provides a satisfying explanation for how the characters ended up where they are. However, something is missing. Maybe I just wanted more from the experience, and I wanted to dig deeper into the characters' lives.

Hats off to the author for crafting an engaging read!

Jo tries to be the very best mother she can be. Sometimes that may mean she is a bit overprotective of her 2 kids. When she is approached about taking a foreign exchange student with severe allergies like her youngest child she decides this is something her family can do. Jo has felt like things with her husband haven’t been great and her preteen daughter has been pulling away. She is hopeful that welcoming Eden into their home could be the thing that pulls them all together. What she could have never see is that her presence could be the very thing that implodes her family,

This was a wild roller coaster. I thought I had things figured out several times, but I was so wrong. This was definitely a book that kept me guessing!

Jo is accosted on the school run and ends up agreeing to take in an exchange student. Jo agrees as like her son, Ashton, seventeen-year-old Eden has allergies.

She also thinks that Eden might be able to help her with her daughter, Megan, who is heading towards her teens, and mother and daughter are not getting on right now.

With her husband, Everett, mainly away working, Jo decides that she wants to do the exchange … but will she come to regret it?

This is a well written story and I found it to be different to anything I have read.

The characters were believable and I could not take to Jo’s character, there just wasn’t really anything likeable about her.

An intriguing story that did make my jaw drop with some of the reveals.

My thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

a captivating psychological thriller that will keep you hooked from the first page. The author skillfully weaves a tale of suspense, secrets, and betrayal that keeps you guessing throughout. The characters are intricately developed, each with their own complex motivations and hidden truths, which adds depth to the narrative.

The story revolves around a series of lies that threaten to unravel the lives of those involved, creating a tense and gripping atmosphere. The twists and turns in the plot are cleverly executed, and Stewart does an excellent job of maintaining suspense while revealing just enough to keep readers on edge.

What stands out about this book is its emotional complexity. The exploration of trust, deception, and the consequences of keeping secrets makes for a truly thought-provoking experience.

A captivating and fast-paced novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. It's a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers!

I was so impressed with this book! Loved the different character used, it added a different layer to the story. This was such a tangled web and I honestly couldn't put it down.

WOW! Thanks Netgalley for this ARC book. This book had be hooked from the very beginning. It kept me involved the whole time. I just kept saying one more chapter and next thing I know I had read 10! I didn't want to stop reading. I did not see any of the twists and turns they were so surprising! I can't wait to read another book by Danielle Stewart!

A fun quick read- kept me on the edge of my seat and excited as the lies and deceit unfolded. Jo was a phenomenal FMC in my opinion and the story was well written. A solid, good book for sure and worth the read if you enjoy thrillers and suspense stories!
