Wow! This book pulled me in straight away and it definitely didn’t go where I thought it would! I loved the twists and turns throughout, it was dark and also sad and without any spoilers I absolutely loved the ending! This one ticked all the boxes for me. First time reading this author and I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more of her books!

Is this book reinventing the thriller genre? Nope. But did I devour it like my favorite guilty pleasure? Absolutely! Sometimes, a well-executed thriller is exactly what you need—and this one delivers.
Meet Jo: a stay-at-home, helicopter mom just trying to keep up with her tween daughter, Megan, and protect her young son, Ashton, who has severe food allergies. Meanwhile, her husband, Everette, is a classic workaholic—home just enough to be the "fun parent," leaving Jo stuck as the bad cop. And to make things worse? He seems to enjoy it. Yikes.
Desperate for some backup (or at least a break from being the villain), Jo signs up for an exchange student program. Enter Eden—a girl no one wants to host because of her severe food allergies. But hey, Jo already runs a practically double-kitchen setup, so why not? She’s hopeful that Eden’s arrival will help restore some balance in their home. Spoiler: Eden has *very* different plans.
This book is packed with unlikable characters, deliciously messy drama, and jaw-dropping twists. Some early reveals I saw coming, but those later plot turns? Total blindsides (in the best way). The red herrings kept me guessing, and by the end, I was fully invested! Also, the last bit actually had me teary eyed a bit.
Fast-paced, addictive, and packed with tension, this was such a fun ride. Highly recommend!
Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture, for this ARC!

This was so good!! I wasn’t sure what to expect but it was a fun thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat!

What a journey! This book truly kept me on my toes through out the whole story. I listened to the book, but had to finish it so read some of it because I couldn’t get enough. I loved the drama and the suspense. You truly never knew what was going to happen, and even at the end you will still be in shock because you would have never thought what was actually about to happen!

Psychological thriller that will have you convinced you know who the bad guy is til you turn the page and learn you have had it all wrong . No one can be trusted til the very end. This was a great book , thanks to Netgally for the ARC.

Three Little Lies is a tense and emotionally charged domestic thriller that grabs you from the start. The premise, built around three lies that unravel a family, is both compelling and unpredictable. The first lie, revealed during a romantic date night, sets the stage for a rollercoaster of emotions as the protagonist, Grace, begins to realize that her marriage might be in deeper trouble than she ever imagined. I was immediately hooked by her raw and relatable sense of betrayal and uncertainty.
The second lie is where things really start to spiral, and I found myself fully invested in Grace's internal conflict. She wonders if she can forgive her husband, but the tension is palpable as she also faces the fear of what he might have done. When the third lie emerges, it escalates into a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat situation where the stakes are suddenly life and death. The twist that unfolds in the garage, with blood and police lights flashing, was truly chilling and kept me turning pages.
What works so well in Three Little Lies is the combination of suspense and emotional depth. The characters are well-developed, especially Grace, whose determination to protect her children and her family makes her a strong, albeit conflicted, protagonist. However, I did feel that some parts of the story dragged on a bit, particularly with the repetitive moments of doubt and internal monologue. While they added to Grace's emotional turmoil, at times they slowed the pacing just a little.
Overall, this is an engrossing, fast-paced thriller with a lot of heart. The twists are well-executed, and the final reveal was both satisfying and surprising. It’s a solid read for fans of domestic thrillers who enjoy a mix of psychological tension and family drama. Definitely a book worth picking up if you're looking for a story that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Jo is a wonderful mother who cares deeply for her two children. Her husband travels the world for his job so it’s up to Jo to keep the home running and the family functioning.
When a fellow school mom asks for Jo’s help in hosting a student through an exchange program, Jo accepts after little convincing.
But things start to go wrong pretty quickly when 17 year old Eden joins Jo’s family. Things such as Eden talking 12 year old Meg into getting her ears pierced without asking for Jo’s permission.
However, the worst is yet to come when Eden is found missing when she should have been babysitting her host siblings. The police immediately arrest Jo’s husband and the lies and secrets begin to emerge.
I really enjoyed this book and the underlying frustration many women feel when it comes to raising your children. Trying to protect them from the world can be perceived as obsessive and controlling; others thinking you’re not protective enough call you negligent. It’s a very difficult tight rope to walk in today’s climate.
I also found this super engaging and kept wanting to read more! I’m super excited to read other books from Danielle Stewart!
Thank you NetGalley, Danielle Stewart, and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this in exchange for a review. Thoughts and opinions are my own.

They have the perfect home – Everett has a good job, Jo is a stay home mom to young children – Megan and Ashton (love this name). They take in a foreign exchange student, Eden. But inside every seemingly perfect home is always secrets and lies. So when Jo and Everett have a date night and leave the kids in the care of Eden, their evening is cut short when Megan calls saying Eden has gone missing. And when Jo and Everett return home, the police are already there ready to arrest Everett.
Ah, this was so good. I love a psychological thriller that hooks me from the first page. I read this in one sitting!
Thank you #NetGalley for a complimentary copy of #ThreeLittleLies in exchange for an honest review. Thank you @bookouture for approving my request.

Three little lies by Danielle Stewart has loads of good twist and turns. This was my first book by Danielle Stewart so I wasn’t to sure what to expect really but it was a really good read.

well, i didn’t see that one coming! what a wild ride Jo takes us on. each month, she receives a mysterious letter that says something like, i know what you did. but what did she do? as the harassment escalates, we’re left questioning her past and how it all connects. while i’m not sure how this element ties into the bigger picture, it does help us understand Jo’s mindset. at its core, this is a classic tale of an affair gone wrong—but with plenty of twists along the way.

What a thrilling read! I had no idea where the story was headed, but the unique and gripping premise kept me hooked. The author took me on a wild journey alongside the main character—I wasn’t sure if I liked her at first, but I definitely admired her. The plot twist caught me completely off guard, though Jo’s secret reveal felt a bit anticlimactic. Still, the overall plot was well-executed and kept me engaged!

This was my first kindle read in awhile and it did not disappoint! The first page already wants you to keep reading because you need to know what happens. I like that the very beginning a lot happens that gives you a taste and keeps you guessing then it starts your story. There was a lot of twists I did not see coming, honestly the whole ending was not on my bingo card for what happens which I love. All the secrets in this tight community, I hope you enjoy this book! It was a good suspense! Thank you Net Gallery, bookouture, and Danielle Stewart for my first ARC❤️

Jo is overbearing mom who takes in a 17-year old foreign exchange student, Eden. She hopes Eden will help Jo get closer with her daughter. Instead, Eden drives a wedge between Jo and her entire family. When Eden goes missing, Jo drops everything to try to seek out answers, but what she learns can ruin her family.
This book was not quite what I expected, and the description felt a bit deceiving. The actual story read like a watered down version of some other books I have read in the past. I felt the twists were a bit too predictable and the semi-fake allergy storyline felt completely random and did not add anything to the story. I did not find any of the characters to be likable and so it was hard to root for anyone.
Thank you NetGalley for an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review.

The first 30-40% unfolds at a slower pace, it remains engaging, building a solid foundation for the twists to come. This ends up being a great story with twists and turns that I did not see coming. It was a quick and captivating read, unfolding like a thrilling mystery that kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. Bravo!
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley!

Danielle Stewart’s Three Little Lies is a fast-paced, twist-filled thriller that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. From the very beginning, the story takes off at full speed, delivering shocking turns and unsettling secrets that refuse to let up.
At the heart of the novel is the arrival of an exchange student, an event that seems innocent at first but quickly spirals into a web of deceit and suspense. As tension builds, Stewart masterfully layers intrigue upon intrigue, making it impossible to predict where the story will go next. The pacing is relentless, and just when you think you have things figured out, another revelation shifts everything once again.
What makes Three Little Lies truly stand out is its ability to maintain a sense of unease throughout, keeping readers second-guessing every character’s intentions. The writing is sharp, the plot is gripping, and the suspense never wavers.
For fans of psychological thrillers and unpredictable mysteries, this book is a must-read. Danielle Stewart delivers a thrilling, twisted ride that won’t be easily forgotten.

This book had me from the first page. One lie can change someone’s whole world, telling three lies could possibly change everything. I loved Danielle Stewart's character development and was able to relate to the characters in such a way that I could feel what they were feeling with each page turn. I couldn’t put the book down because of the well written story line. An easy recommendation from me to you…you will love this new thriller!

Many thanks to NetGalley, Danielle Stewart, and Bookouture for the eARC! I was completely hooked on this fast-paced psychological thriller. The gripping twists and turns kept me turning pages late into the night, and I loved how everything unfolded in the end. A definite must-read!

Three Little Lies is the second book I've read from this author, the first being The Teacher.
The pace is fast, narrations come from various POV, and the plot was absolutely riveting. When a story has lies at its core you know you're in for a wild ride.
What a ride it turned out to be! It had more twists and turns than my frazzled nerves could keep up with!
Characters were perfect with great development, and made for such a great read.

⭐️⭐️
Thank you Net Galley & Bookouture for the ARC.
While an entertaining read, I wasn’t wow’ed by this story. The first half could have been condensed quite a bit and I believe this would have allowed some of the second half to be explained further.
The twists were easy to spot, but the ‘unreliable narrator’ portion should have either gone fully, or not at all. I found this to almost take away from the story.

Three Little Lies by Danielle Stewart is a fast-paced domestic thriller about Jo, her husband Everett and their two kids, Megan and Ashton. We know early on that Jo has secrets but in many ways that’s a red herring. When British exchange student Eden comes to stay, the tension ratchets up. And then when Eden goes missing, the book races ahead with some jaw-dropping twists. A helicopter mum with anxiety, this is Jo’s story, focusing on how she protects her children against all odds. It’s a great read!
Thank you to Danielle Stewart, Bookouture and Netgalley for my advance copy.
