It took a minute to get into this story and then it just kind of bottomed out. Not for me. Thanks to the publisher and netgalley for this copy for read and review

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books for the ARC ebook. All opinions are my own.

I am a longtime fan of Hank Phillippi Ryan, and once again, she absolutely delivers. This was a slow-burn but for once it really worked. The suspense and tension that built up as the story progressed served to heighten the effect of the story.

I was on the edge of my seat but never saw the end coming. A fabulous read!

Tessa is a newly famous author on her first book tour when strange things start to happen. There is danger around every corner and maybe even back home with her husband and kids. I could not put this one down! I was anxious, excited, and on the edge of seat! All these emotions could be yours if you hurry and pick up this book!

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Hank Phillippi Ryan is a powerhouse and her newest book, All This Could Be Yours, stands as an excellent addition to her oeuvre.

Tessa Calloway stepped away from her corporate job three years ago to spend more time with her family and to write a book featuring Annabelle as her inspirational protagonist. Although Annabelle is not simply a fictional character; she has been in Tessa's head since early motherhood, offering support, advice, and a running commentary on Tessa's life. The book becomes a best seller, and Tessa embarks on a national book tour that finds her in a seemingly repetitive loop of bookstores, hotels, and airports. In one of her hotel rooms, she discovers a locket and immediately feels a kinship with the woman she presumes left it behind by mistake. She turns to her social media followers to help her find the owner of the locket and breaks down in tears during the filming of her crowd-sourced plea for assistance.

As Tessa continues her book tour, she encounters people who push the limits of the parasocial relationship between celebrity and fan. Some ask pointed questions about her past, which she never discusses, and about herself and her family in the present. Tessa continues to feel mounting concerns as she goes to the events that force her to think on her toes about how much she wants to share about her life.

The pace of the narrative is a slow burn: the events unfold at a leisurely clip, and an undercurrent of malice swirls below the surface. The mysteries held within unfold in a satisfying manner, and the story held my interest throughout its development. Fans of Ryan and her journalistic prose will surely be pleased with this one, as will thriller fans who enjoy strong and interesting female main characters.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a digital review copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book was so good I couldn't put it down like I was full on reading it at the gym the other day. I loved that once the characters were introduced you were thrown into the action. Personally I tried to figure out who the killer was from the beginning but that didn't work out too well. I loved every moment of this and I will be reading more from this author.

I found this an odd read and almost abandoned it but I don’t felt I had an obligation to follow through. I was familiar with the author’s reputation but had never read one of her books. I didn’t care for the slow, repetitive start, almost 45% in until we get past the setup of a debut author with a blockbuster novel is on book tour. The traveling details, Uber rides, hotel check-ins, family FaceTimes, and the repeated use of the word periwinkle (book cover color) wore thin! I found Henry, the husband annoying and unsympathetic, and really disliked the inner voice of Annabelle.

This was definitely a mixed bag for me - here are my PROS and CONS

PROS:

*Interesting premise - an already successful debut author goes on a 6 week tour of bookstores

*How does it feel to have readers who are becoming infatuated with your main character? Where do you draw the line between author and MC?

CONS:

*The main character, Tess Calloway, is homesick after the first few days of the tour. She is already worried about the mortgage on a new house that they purchased before she left. Why would she and her husband put themselves in that situation?

*Tess makes so many wrong decisions that it’s hard to root for her! Even when she believes she’s being stalked she continues down her path of eating little and sleeping even less. She refuses to seek help from hotel security or the police.

*I don’t think a debut author would be sent on a 6 week tour - bouncing back and forth on planes every day. That would be incredibly expensive for a publishing house!!

*I didn’t feel a lot of tension in this book in spite of Tess being followed. So much repetition and mention of the “the bad thing” that happened when she was very young.

*The ending - that’s all I’m going to say about it.

I’m an outlier once again!! I think this could have been a better story if it wasn’t so OTT with author emotions and bad decisions.

I received an ARC of this novel from the punisher through NetGalley. It was my pleasure to read and review this title. All opinions are my own.

After publicly deciding to quit her job and write a book that turns out to be a bestseller, Tessa Calloway finds herself on a whirlwind book tour. Visiting a different city and different crowd everyday to publicize and sign books for her adoring fans. Only Tessa has a found things in her hotel room that make her believe someone is following her. And she has at least one dark secret from her past she wants to keep hidden.
A fast-paced novel, I finished it in two evenings. The building sense of dread as Tessa kept trying to figure out if someone was following her, who that person might be, and trying to keep up with her family at home was palpable. I felt her dread as she visited bookstores to do signings that she once loved.
I didn't care for the ending. It seemed rushed to me, and on further examination, did not make a lot of sense in the context of the rest of the book. But the rest of the story was entertaining and the writing was fast-paced. Each chapter made me want to stay up and read the next one. So, a solid read, but probably won't read it again.

All This Could be Yours is a gripping read from start to finish that is bingeworthy.

Tess Calloway is a famous author that is on a book tour promoting her debut novel.

People love her.

Most people.

Someone is stalking Tess and for the life of her she cant figure out who or why.

In the meantime her family life is going full steam ahead but Tess thinks something is off with her husband and kids.

Hank Phillippi Ryan does a masterful job of building the tension page by page with twists and turns as slowly secrets are revealed.

Some secrets should never be revealed.

Tess isnt perfect and makes some questionable decisions but that makes the book all so more real.

Grab your copy of All This Could Be Yours and be prepared to read the book in one sitting.

Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press/Minotaur Books for the privilege of reading and reviewing this heart pounding novel.

I love books about writers and this one was so fun! (in a thriller way lol). Tessa Calloway is on tour for her newest novel and discovers she has a stalker who is ruining not only her profession but also her person life.

i have been a fan of Hank Philliipir Ryan for years and this one was another winner!

I loved this book! The story revolves around a popular author's book tour. The author has a few skeletons in her closet that even her husband doesn't know about. Someone is stalking the author, and she receives notes along the tour. Slowly, the pieces fit in the puzzle through the twists and turns. It moved quickly, and I was fully engaged with the story. And here I thought author tours were full of glitz and glam!

This book was just OK for me. The story was moving very slowly and I was absolutely annoyed by Tessa and her constant complaining about being away from her family. I guess I was expecting her being a little bit more excited about her new book and book tour. She was just one of those characters that don't know what they want. I wasn't a fan.
There was just enough suspense and mystery in this story to keep my interest but I wasn't blown away. I've read other books by this author that were a lot more intense and interesting.

Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin's Press and the author for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

What a READ! Tessa Calloway is on tour for her latest book when she starts to notice some strange happenings between her events and hotel stays. Before she knows it, she has a stalker threatening not only her professional life, but her personal one as well.

This is my first read from Ryan and she sure knows how to create a creepy atmosphere! While I really enjoyed Tessa's character and development, it was the setting detail that really drew me in. It had a really strong start but then I felt things start to lag after the first 1/3 of the book - the language and content felt a little repetitive, slowing down the pace. It did end up picking back up and had a twist that caught me off guard - just goes to show you never know who to trust! Thank you so much for the ARC - I'll be looking into more from Ryan after this!

Loved and devoured this book - a unique mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end. Also loved its commentary on social media and parasocial relationships.

I've read a few books by Hank Phillippi Ryan, and I enjoyed all of them, so I was excited to read All This Could Be Yours. This book did not disappoint, and I really cared about the main character, Tessa, and was interested to find out who was stalking her and why. I thought the plot and characters were interesting, I liked the ending, and the identity of Tessa's stalker surprised me. I really enjoyed All This Could Be Yours, and I'm excited to see what this amazing author comes up with next. Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press / Minotaur Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this great novel! : )

3.75. First time reader for this author and I will definitely be checking out her other books.

Pro: This book had a very interesting premise and immediately drew me in - all about an author on a book tour! Cool huh? Someone must be following the author because threatening notes were left behind - how did they find the author? How did all the pieces come together? Could she trust her husband? What happened in the past to the author and would it be discovered and destroy everything she has today? I liked the conclusion to the story.

Con: I honestly got really tired of hearing the "Annabelle" voice in the author's mind over and over again and the repeated narrative over and over again. I feel like removing some of these and making the book a bit shorter would help in moving along the story.

Thank you to NetGalley, Hank Phillippi Ryan and Minotaur Books for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

I have been reading Hank Phillippi Ryan’s books since the Charlotte McNally and Jane Ryland series. I enjoyed them — their pace, plot, and satisfying conclusion.
I did not find “All This Could Be Yours” to be up the her earlier standards. It is repetitive and plodding rather than fresh and exciting. I had to force myself to finish it, primarily because I really didn’t care about the outcome. It wasn’t horrible, but it was not “edge of your seat” compelling - a strong “C” grade.

New author for me. I will definitely read more by this author. This book grabbed me from the start and never let up. Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this book

I ended up finishing the book in one day. Once I was hooked, I couldn’t put it down. I really enjoyed the pace and different settings. Going from hotel to hotel and bookstore to bookstore while on the book tour led to familiar enough rooms but still enough newness and certainty to always wonder what was around the corner. It also shows how we, as humans, can begin to mistrust everything and everyone when we are afraid

I was not expecting the twist at the end, I knew some of the players were not to be trusted but was still shocked at how exactly it all came together at the end.

𝙈𝙔 𝙍𝙀𝙑𝙄𝙀𝙒:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

This one has all the making of a great thriller:
🔧 Paranoia
🔧 Secrets
🔧 Blackmail
🔧 Stalker

This one was not what I expected. This domestic suspense sure to keep you guessing til the very end.

I was urged to read this one next from @authorjesspayne on tiktok after her glowing review. How your past can not only haunt you, but attack at the most inoperable time.

Poetic justice in the end prevails but not after a rollercoaster or chaos stirrs up the past for Tessa.

I loved every second of this one. Can't wait for more from @hankpryan !
