Truly a great read! One you can not put down!

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for this eCopy to review

Everyone Is Lying follows Alexandra, who seems to have the perfect life with a successful business, a loving husband, and two beautiful children. However, her seemingly idyllic life is shattered when she finds a perfectly folded origami bird on her kitchen table one morning. This bird is a chilling reminder of a dark secret from her past, a secret that only four people knew about—one of whom is dead.

The story takes us back twenty years to a night when three girls died at an exclusive party. Alexandra witnessed something she was never meant to see and has been running from that night ever since. The origami bird is not just a reminder but a warning that someone knows what really happened and is willing to destroy her life to keep her quiet.

The plot is gripping and filled with twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat. The suspense builds up nicely, and the author does a great job of keeping the reader guessing about who is behind the threats and what their motives are. The characters are well-developed, and I found myself empathizing with Alexandra as she navigates the dangerous waters of her past and present.

Overall, Everyone Is Lying is an entertaining psychological with complex characters and a lot of suspense.

I enjoyed Everyone is Lying. The mystery kept me interested, and the pacing was good. The ultimate solution to the mystery wasn't super surprising, but it was still satisfying.

A well written thriller with an excellent storyline. Alexandra has everything she wanted in life, until something in her past threatens to destroy it. The author sets the pace for this psychological thriller, taking you on a seemingly never ending ride of deceit and half truths. Highly recommended.

Past secrets will catch up to you eventually no matter how far you run, as Alexandra soon learns in the beginning pages of this book.

This psychological thriller was full of mind bending twists and suspense that keep you on the edge of your seat. This cleverly written thriller will shock you. It will suck you in from the beginning chapter as the author does a great job of pulling you into the story hook, line and sinker.

Thank you to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for this ARC. I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I would like to thank #EveryoneIsLying #NetGalley and #StormPublishing for giving me the opportunity to read an E-ARC of this 5 star book.

Everyone Is Lying is a newly released novel, March 31, 2025, by D. E. White. Thank you to NetGalley, Storm Publishing and the author for the opportunity to read an ARC; my review reflects my honest opinion. Alexandra is a successful business woman, happily married to Harlan, a Brighton policeman and loving mother to 10 year old Sophie and 7 year old Tom. She has worked hard for all she has achieved including being able to place her mom in a highly respected care home. In spite of this almost idyllic life, she worries that facts from her late teens and twenties could come back and possibly destroy her life. And one day that happens; she is selected to serve on the jury for the murder trial of Gareth Sellers, a man from her past. Everyone Is Lying is a compelling book that takes the reader through Alexandra's past from the trial to its aftermath. Can a person escape their past? Can a good woman bring down powerful men without jeopardizing her family? Do the mighty ever fall? Initially the book moved a bit slowly, yet certainly picked up momentum and had me hooked. It's a very suspenseful and intriguing thriller. 4 stars.

Everyone is Lying is a suspenseful psychological thriller by D.E. White. What would you do if you saw something you weren't meant to see and after 20 years someone from your past is now after you?

I found myself caught up in this thriller right off the bat. It’s definitely a “Can’t run from your past forever” type of book. Alexandra once lived a very different life than she currently does and it’s one she has worked to maintain. When she starts receiving an origami bird, she realizes someone out there knows.
It’s a fast paced novel with twists and keeps you gripped until the end. I would definitely recommend to those that enjoy thrillers!

She has been able to overcome her past as a party girl and host to exclusive get together. Twenty years ago Lexy witnessed something that she should not have seen and has been on the run ever since.

This book was a good suspense thriller with a dual timeline. It is in a third person narrative which I don't read as often but I really enjoyed it in this. The plot of the book is enjoyable and while some parts are on the slow side , I feel that it is necessary to set the stage for the twists to come. Overall I would recommend Everyone is Lying to readers who like their thrillers with tension and suspense!!

Buckle up as we plunge into her tumultuous college days, where she was part of a notorious group orchestrating provocative events for men, designed to let them cherry-pick their female companions. As we oscillate between the past and the present, the chilling realization dawns that her reckless choices still haunt her. Long-buried secrets begin to claw their way back to the surface, fueled by the ominous arrival of a mysterious letter on her dining room table—a sinister wake-up call. Friends from her past resurface, stirring old ghosts and unraveling a narrative ripe with tension. This saga is an exhilarating rollercoaster of twists and turns, thick with intrigue. While it may not be the pinnacle of literature, its tantalizing mysteries kept my curiosity piqued, earning a respectable 3 stars out of 5.

Everyone Is Lying by D. E. White is a gripping psychological domestic suspense story that is dark and twisty.

Can anyone really outrun their past and live happily ever after? That's what Alexandra "Lexy" is trying to do. Now happily married with two kids, her own business, and a lovely home, she believes she has done just that. Until the day an origami bird shows up on her table. Only a few people know her as Birdie.

This book starts out with a very happy family. Alexandra has everything going for her in life, a perfect husband two perfect children and house that would leave everyone envious. Things are about to change for her when she suddenly starts getting paper birds at her doorstep. Now to anyone else this would just be a minor inconvenience, however this has a little bit more significance to her. With the dismantled bird she has suddenly acutely aware that someone knows about her past, a past she spent a long time trying to hide from. And with the damage to the paper birds she is sure that this is meant as a threat. But who could possibly know if her life before when she was known as birdie and what she did? Especially since only four people know about that nickname and one of them is dead. How is she going to be able to stop her pass from ruining the future she has so painstakingly created for herself? I really like how the author talked about what was going on in Alexandra AKA Birdie's life in the future but it also link back to what she did in the past and how her actions were catching up to her. It was very easy to follow and there was so much tension and suspense in this book since it was all told from a third party so you were able to see everyone's confusion anger and worry. This book really grabbed my attention and had me desperate for answers all at the same time. I really enjoyed watching the desperation in our main character as she struggled to keep her life under control and keep what was once buried still buried. What I didn't like was the third person narrative I don't read too many books written like that so times it was a little hard to follow. Besides that little critique however I did enjoy the plot of this book and I'm so glad that I got the chance to check it out. I found the pace of this book to be a little on the slow side and while I love parts and raced.through it other parts seemed to take forever and I had to force myself to pick it back up.

I was accepted to read this on NetGalley prior to the publication date. Below is my honest opinion.

This was a book full of twists and turns. This was my first book of D.E.White and it will not be last. Every chapter had me guessing and when I thought I had worked out the twist the book took a turn and proved me wrong.
The only negative thing and it’s a personal preference is that it was in 3rd person which isn’t normally my kind of book a prefer a first person pov! But other than that this was a great read and highly recommend.

No one talks about the Candy Girls anymore, until 20 years later when Lexy, now known as Alexandra, finds that life has unraveled. This book kept me hooked. While there was a learning curve with some of the words, as it’s set in Europe, I overall enjoyed this book and it was a quick read. Everything was resolved in the end.
