Thank you Net Galley and HQ Digital for an early copy of this book. Hated it but I read the whole novel. I don’t know why, I’m sorry it just was a waste of my time.

What a great book. Would definitely recommend to it others I no. Great work will look out for this author again

Really struggled with this book, found it quite slow placed. Did not finish. Not sure what it was that made me not connect to it, think it was just the pace.

Thanks to net galley for the opportunity to review this book, this is my honest opinion.

This book had some solid, well written chapters, but other parts were slow and seemed to lack direction. I didn’t finish it sadly.

This book has great potential, but I felt it moved a bit slow for my taste. The premise was good, but nothing new or different. I liked the characters and felt that Newton developed them well. The book just didn't "grab me". I would give it 3 to 4 stars, so rated it a 4, to be fair. I do think others will really like it..

This book started out really good. It wasn't long before I found myself skipping head to try to find some suspense. The ending was predictable to me.

I will rate Her Perfect lies by Lana Newton a 2.5 rounded up. Sigh, where do I even begin? This story started out with all of the highest expectations of being a wonderful psychological thriller but fell flatter than pancakes as the story droned on and on and on and on and on. See? No one likes repetitiveness when they are reading. Anyways, the story is about Claire Wright who awakens in a hospital with amnesia. She's had an accident, but doesn't remember anything about it or her previous life. She knows she is married to Paul, a doctor at the hospital, but he isn't warm and loving towards her and feels more like a stranger than a spouse. She has a best friend named Gaby who is hoarding all kinds of secrets from her and the only person she feels inclined to trust is her father, Tony, who was in this accident with her. I wanted to like this book. I really wanted to enjoy it, but I couldn't. It became boring so quickly.

What I enjoyed about this book:

The idea of the amnesia patient being in an accident and waking up from it not knowing who she is or anything about her former life is an interesting concept. It has the makings of a great psychological thriller... If... It is done right.
The secrets that the father had were intriguing, but... Well, I'll get into the secrets more later on in this review.

What I didn't enjoy about this book:

The storyline was flat and it dragged on for ages.
Claire really didn't question her amnesia or really seek out to find out her true identity as much as I would have liked her to.
Her father, Tony, oh how I despised that man, was a horrid character and was only looking out for himself. He should have been honest with Claire about who she was and their past. I figured out the "secret" behind this early on in the story.
The lies and "secrets" within this story. What a bore... I mean, seriously, any amateur reader could pick up the fact that Tony wasn't all who he claimed or appeared to be and it was quite awful how long it took for this author to explain to the readers what I had already figured out. Tony is a monster. Point blank. I will not write more as I will not spoil this book for future potential readers. Just know, it is quite evident what really happened in the accident and to Claire's mother and brother.
The secret and lies of Paul and Gaby were a total snooze fest...I figured out their secret early on, too.

Nonetheless, thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for an opportunity to read this book in the exchange of an honest review.

When Claire Wright wakes up in hospital after a serious accident, she doesn't recognise the face in the mirror. She doesn't know her name, doesn't know her husband and doesn't know what happened to her. 

Claire is released to the care of her husband, while her father - who she is told was in the accident with her - remains in hospital. But with the people in Claire's life telling her very different things about her life before the accident, and her father insistent on the fact that she wasn't in the car when he crashed it, it seems Claire is going to have to do some digging to determine the truth from the lies, and determine who - if anyone - she can really trust...

I liked the premise, and although the amnesia trope has been done to death by this point, it can still be done well, so I was more than willing to give this novel the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, I just didn't gel with the book from the beginning. I found the writing style very flat, and the characters one-dimensional - I didn't care about any of them enough to be interested in what happened to them. I found Claire's amnesia was dealt with in a very unrealistic way, too - she barely questions anything to begin with, isn't particularly anxious about the fact that she is essentially dumped back into a life she doesn't recognize with people she doesn't know, etc etc. 

The plot was nothing special or original but it was the writing style that left me feeling ultimately disconnected from the story. If I hadn't been reading an advance copy to review for NetGalley, I don't think I would have finished this one. That having been said, it's not a bad book per se, it just wasn't for me - if you like your writing style curt and clean then this might be the book for you, but I prefer more detail and more development than I found here.
 
Thank you to NetGalley, who provided me with a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This psychological thriller had all the elements of a great twisty read, but the narration style and stilted dialogue did not work for me. Overall, it felt robotic and deadpan and in my opinion does most of the thinking for the reader (telling rather than showing). I also found it difficult to connect with the characters. The plot had promise...just not enough to pull it through in my opinion. Thank you NetGalley and publishers for providing an advanced copy for review.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review

This one was pretty twisty- some more obvious than others but still an enjoyable ride. 3.5 rounded up.

This book was really good!! A fast paced read to find out why Claire is so scared and why she lost her memory. Is Paul the villain in the story or is something more sinister at play? I loved this book!

This was an exciting book, with many twists and turns. Just when you thought you had it all figured out, something else happened! Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Make a cuppa, let the dog out, and hang a “do not disturb” sign on the door. You’ll need all your concentration to keep up with this fast-paced narrative! Lana Newton writes well and I’m looking forward to her next book.

I received her Perfect lies, free, from Net Gallery in exchange for an honest review.
Claire has the perfect life
She is beautiful
She has a great house
She has a handsome husband.
One day she wakes up and finds a stranger staring at her.
As a result of the car accident, she has no memories of her past life
Will Claire regain the life she once had.
A great page turner.

Her Perfect Lies is a psychological thriller designed to keep you guessing. It has twists and turns and some surprises you won’t see coming. I did enjoy this book.

Not too bad. I love a good thriller and add in a little memory loss, and you’ve got the makings for something twisty and unexpected.

This was a good read! It was an easy read and it kept me intrigued. You have Claire who woke up from a car accident with absolutely no recollection of who she was before the accident. Zero memories has no idea who anyone is etc you get the picture. She has to navigate through everyone including her husband Paul who seems a bit distant, her best friend Gaby who possibly talks too much, her father who is so loving to her, all to try and see who is telling the truth and what really happened not only in her accident but her life.

It is a well told psychological thriller with a good twist in the end. Very satisfying and I would recommend for a quick read if you are looking for something that isn’t TOO dark and twisted.

Thank you to Net Galley, the author, and publisher for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

Her Perfect Lies by Lana Newton was a fast-paced, suspenseful read. It was pretty short, only taking me a few hours to read so you can easily read this one in a single afternoon. The author did a great job of keeping the reader intrigued, I was questioning what the truth was and who I could trust. I had some ideas and wondered if Claire was faking her amnesia because she knew more than she let on.

Who can you trust when you don’t even know who you are?

Claire is beautiful. Claire is famous. Claire has a handsome husband and a house to die for. But Claire doesn’t know any of that. Claire isn’t even sure who she is…

When Claire Wright wakes in a hospital, she sees a stranger staring back at her in the mirror. With no memories from before the devastating car accident that left her and her father with life-changing injuries, she must navigate the life of a stranger along with all the mistakes her former self left behind.

As Claire discovers the person she used to be she must also unravel the mystery that surrounds the accident. But the more Claire uncovers, the more she will be forced to face up to the dark secrets from her life before…

It must be so scary to have amnesia and not know who you can trust. Imagine looking in the mirror and not recognizing the face staring back? I mean, that happens to me because I feel like I’m looking older every day, hahahaha!

This is a suspenseful, quick read.

Due out on November 7, get it here!

This book was fast paced. Hard to put down. It flowed well and it was very well written. It caught hold of me and had me hooked from the start . I was literally on the edge of my seat reading this book.

A great premise for a book that all us thriller/psychological book lovers enjoy, a woman wakes in her hospital bed and cannot remember who she is or what has happened to her
See, we all love a book that starts like that
She is wealthy and has everything she seems to need except the love of her ‘odd’ hubby, Paul, and we are led to believe he is a ‘baddie’
The best part of the book is when she is on the phone to her Mum who is apparently in Australia, on finishing the call she is called by her hubby and told her Mum has been found dead!
But then the story turns upside down with lies and secrets but sadly imo not very interesting lies and secrets and failed to whip up any enthusiasm for what was happening from me
I didn’t warm to any characters or the story telling style tbh and the ending, when came, was welcome
As say a great premise but let down by the rest
3/10
2 Stars

PROS:
•  Very easy and fast to read. I think that by now, it was made clear that I am a slow reader.  But when I have the chance to read fast, I am very happy because that means that the writing is perfectly fitting me, thing that happened with this thriller. I had found myself to just fly through words.
• Kept me confused and asking myself questions almost all the time. This was not, at least for me, the kind of thriller where things let you guess very easy who did it, and mostly why. No! I was made to think and to question anything and anyone, even to put the sanity of the main character at question. If this is not a PRO for a thriller, then I don't know what it is.
• The ending. Though in my opinion, the ending would have been more proper for a romance novel, or something like that, I can still see its role and I eventually realized that the main character got what she deserved.

CONS:
• I realize that actually, I don't have any! Very well done!

OVERALL THOUGHTS:
• Seeing that I don't have any CONS, you may ask why I didn't rate this book 5⭐. Well, it's because though I loved every word and page from it, it didn't WOW me. It didn't made experience drastic changes of feelings or to whisper under my breath OMG. But, as you can say from my PROS, I do consider this thriller a very well done one, with realistic characters and dynamics. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to start read thrillers, or is already at the beginning of it. Even for experienced thriller readers, because this one can be very easily dropped into the easy and fast reads category.
