I was excited to read this one! The plot had me intrigued and ready to devour the story. Unfortunately I was left feeling a little underwhelmed. I guessed the twist early on and so the ending fell flat. However, it was still well written and a decent, quick read

Three Little Lies is a relentlessly gripping and intense psychological thriller that will have readers glued to the page. The story plunges into a nightmare scenario as a woman's seemingly perfect life unravels under the weight of her husband's escalating lies.

The compelling twists and turns made this book impossible to put down. While it starts as a slow burn, the pacing is actually perfect for unraveling this complex story. You won’t see the twists coming! I look forward to reading more from this new-to-me author.

Jo is a neurotic American stay at home mother who spends her life helicoptering over her teenage daughter and son, who has many complex food allergies, while her husband travels around the world with work. When complimented into taking an exchange student, she thinks this might help her and her daughter to get on better and find common ground, however things don’t go to plan when the exchange student goes missing and some home truths come to the surface.

This is an excellent book which had me gasping on several occasions. An absolute must read.

I really enjoyed this one! I found myself thinking about the story and what could possibly going on when I wasn’t actively reading it. I really related to Jo with her anxiety, especially surrounding her son’s food allergies (my son also has severe food allergies). It really enjoyed the main twist and did not see it coming, although I felt the very final twist at the end was a bit underwhelming for how much I feel it was *hyped* to be this horrible dark thing that happened in Jo’s past. If you like domestic thrillers, I’d give this one a shot !

"Three Little Lies" I loved the dual timelines - they don't always work, but Danielle was able to beautifully weave the two together while building a great story. With the two timelines, I felt every chapter was another secret from the girls' past being revealed. Could not put it down!

This was a fast paced thriller, I really felt myself flying through the chapters with this one. It kept me hooked and eager to read on. This would have been a higher rating if I hadn’t of guessed the plot twist early on in this book. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

This was my first Danielle Stewart book which makes me want to read more of her writing! The twists and turns in Three Little Lies kept me from putting this book down. The twists and turns were unexpected and reminded me of a Jeneva Rose book. It has a slow build which allows you to learn back story and build up to what happened. Definitely a must read.

Jo who is trying to be the perfect mom and keep her children safe from the world. Ashton had serious allergies to food and Megan is a rebellious 12 year old that is tired of her mom being so protective. A mom who helps with foreign exchange students approaches Jo to help with getting a young girl with food allergies a chance to come to the US and Jo agrees it may be the perfect step to allow her to reconnect with her daughter Megan. But Jo is also starting to deal with issues and lies in her marriage which they try to have a date night out to start the conversation when their foreign exchange student Eden goes missing and no one knows what happened.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart is an engaging psychological thriller packed full of suspense and tension. With secrets and betrayal paired with a fast paced narrative, this book is sure to have you hooked!!

Jo is just trying to keep her family safe and happy. With a troubled upbringing of her own, Jo wants more than she had for her own family. When Jo is talked into hosting an exchange student by a persuasive mom friend, she thinks that the experience could have a positive impact on her daughter especially. Eden is a 17 year old girl from England and at first she seems charming and pleasant. But soon things don't seem like they are adding up and Jo begins to wonder who she really let into her house? And then when Eden goes missing with only a trace of blood left behind in the garage, Jo's nightmare continues when her husband is arrested for the crime. Who is Eden really? What happened to her? Is her husband capable of the crime he is being accused of?

Three Little Lies does an excellent job building up the suspense and tension making you think you know what is going on and why, them the rug gets pulled right out from under you!! My biggest problem lies with Jo, our MC. Her decision making skills are infuriating and she made it hard to relate to her. I did like the multiple POVs, being able to see the different perspectives really helped fill out the story and put the pieces in place for a satisfying ending!! Fans of Shalini Boland and K.L Slater will love this book!!

Thank you to NetGalley, Danielle Stewart, and Bookouture for this ARC!! Publication date: March 13th.

Despite the FMC being completely insufferable, this was a gripping, addictive read. I spent the majority of the book trying to figure out the mystery. I was right about approximately half of it, as some pieces of it were cliche and predictable. Predictable doesn't have to mean boring, though, and in this case it definitely isn't.

Unfortunately, none of the characters were likeable. They were either manipulative, annoying, or downright deplorable with very little to redeem them. Overall, it was still a great read and one that I'm not sad to have read.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me an opportunity to review this book

Three little lies captures the very psychologically powerful and thrilling take on parenting. I love how real yet spooky jo was. Eden's entry and the changes in jo's thinking were very gripping. I enjoyed the twisted, never EVER saw those coming. The ending on a good note was a great emotional refreshment.
I would love to read more from this author.

Three Little Lies was a really great read & a very clever & unique plotline; a psychological thriller based around student foreign exchange. While it did start off at a slower pace than I generally like it was still a very engaging read & never lost my attention.

This was a really well written story with well developed characters, its packed full of suspense & tension & I was constantly on edge reading it, in the best way. Twist after twist & plenty of red herrings, every time I thought I had it figured out I was proved wrong. This is not just a thriller it's also a pretty thought-provoking read, delving into family, loyalty & the impact of secrets.

This is a perfect read for fans of psychological/domestic thrillers with love a shock twist/ending.

Wow.
Jo may or may not be a helicopter parent however, she just wants to do whatever it takes to keep her family happy and her children safe. Her and her husband Everett are experiencing a rough patch, and she knows he is hiding something from her. This book is one of those you start reading and you think you have it all figured out but in the blink of an eye there is an unexpected twist and you're in for a wild ride. What you think is a simple date night in efforts to fix a marriage turns into much much more. The twists and turns kept me reading and invested in what happens next. There is the perfect mix of drama, deceit, murder and lies and I loved that! Despite what Everette did or could have done, Jo will do whatever it takes to keep her family whole.
A nice quick read that is fast paced and hooks you from the very beginning.

Thank you Netgalley, Bookouture and Danielle Stewart for the e Arc of Three Little lies.

My first book from Danielle Stewart and I was not disappointed! I found Three Little Lies well written with a great plot which combined some great character development. The plot line was engaging and while having a few theories along the way, Danielle sprinkles some great foreshadowing which allows you to let the book unfold. The finale wasn't what I was expecting so I found the ending really refreshing,

Penelope Rawlins narrated this book which I also listened to. Penelope has a great voice which suits this type of thriller with great pacing and a story teller voice.

4 stars

Three Little Lies is an explosive thriller written by USA Today Best Selling Author, Danielle Stewart. Enveloped in suspenseful drama and set in a dark, eerie tone, Three Little Lies is perfect for any thriller fan. A perfectionist, Jo is obsessive when it comes to keeping her family safe, and not without good reason. Jo didn’t have the best upbringing; with alcoholic parents, her home life was nothing short of dysfunctional. When her foreign exchange student Eden moves in, Jo's patience is tested to its limit. And sometimes she could swear that Eden does these things on purpose. Or it could just be her paranoid, controlling self over-exaggerating– it's been known to happen. And yet something just doesn’t add up with the girl... Jo is thrown even more off-kilter when she makes some unsettling discoveries– could they be linked to Eden? But then there's the threatening letters she’s been receiving for years. Have the chickens finally come home to roost? And how can she keep her family from suffering the consequences? One thing’s for sure, though– Jo is willing to go to the extremes for her loved ones, even if it means murder.

Deliciously captivating with characters who have sinister secrets they would do anything to keep hidden, Three Little Lies offers readers the best of the best in psychological thrillers. Maintaining the book’s dark and foreboding tone, Danielle lures the readers in and holds them captive inside her tight web of suspense. The main character, Jo, could be forgiven for her indescrepencies, and her devotion to her loved ones is heartbreaking, but despite the good reasoning behind the things we do, the past always has a way of catching up, doesn’t it? The story’s plot and rapid twist after twist were exhilarating, and I couldn’t wait to reach its conclusion; the book’s unpredictability was definitely top hat. Three Little Lies did not disappoint and is well-deserving of its 5-star rating and I highly recommend it.
