You can't go wrong with a novel by Hank Phillippi Ryan!
All This Could Be Yours is a real page-turner, with a very interesting twist ending.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.

I received this book as an ARC with no expectations of a positive review. WOW! Ms. Phillippi Ryan blew this right out of the water. I was intrigued about authors book tours. To live with things that happen as a child is challenging. To be blamed for two tragic events that Tessa was not directly responsible had to be horrible. Tessa ended up being gaslighted while on tour as well as being stalked. She needed to uncover the actual truth of her past to be able to save herself and her family. This is a must read for all thriller readers. This book will certainly keep you turning the pages.

Hank delivers another book with a lot of twists along the way. I felt like I was on book tour with Tessa. Does her imagination get the best of her or is it really happening that someone is playing tricks on her? You shall find out. A mystery until the end.

All This Could Be Yours by Hank Phillippi Ryan
Tessa quits her job, with lots of people watching it live on her feed, to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. After her book becomes a best seller, Tessa learns that success has a price. Secrets, she thought long buried, are somehow trying to surface.
Everyone has a skeleton in their closet. Those in the spotlight are no exception. We are all curious about famous persons: actors, authors, etc. But because of their chosen professions, much of their lives are open to public scrutiny or so it seems.
What happens when a secret is no longer secret? Someone knows and threatens to destroy your whole world.
This is a wonderfully written book! It had me guessing til the very end.

It was interesting to read about an author going on book tours. What a hectic lifestyle! They have to endure weeks away from home and family. I can’t imagine all that traveling. That would get tiring.
I had a hard time getting into the book. I did not like the main character of Tessa. She seemed paranoid about everything. I thought she was anxiety ridden. It’s not a good character trait that I like to read about. It was also slow moving in the beginning.
The second half of the book got exciting and Tessa grew a backbone. You find out what all the secrets are and less time is spent on her worrying about her family. I enjoyed the second half and found it hard to book the book down.
I want to thank Hank Phillippi Ryan, whose books I always enjoy, and NetGalley for my ARC ebook

ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS ---Hank Phillippi Ryan
In my opinion, travelling alone on business never gets easier. The taxi driver may have been an x-con. At the airport queues and security there is always someone in my space. There are also the nuances of sleeping in “strange” although luxurious hotels and not having MY food. Regardless of what profession you are in, these travels bring you face-to-face with a new audience and the possibility that their words may set off a certain vibe inside you that spooks you to the core. We all carry secret baggage that we have never shared with anyone, almost, but is there something that could disrupt your equilibrium be it on the home front, your career or just your own sanity. Hank keeps your brain spinning with move after move in the cycle of this newly recognized author on tour. Forget the “starting over part” which is the theme of this author’s book as that may have nothing to do with where this mystery leads you!

A fast moving thriller that reads like a movie. We follow new author, best selling author on a book tour as strange things keep happening. Are they coincidences or is someone targeting her as a stalker fan or is it connected to something in her past. I think my students will enjoy this one.

A perfect long weekend read! Once again, Hank has created characters with whom we can truly identify, whether as a writer, reader, agent, editor, or bookshop owner. Anyone in the book universe will instantly feel at home. I felt Tessa's dread in my heart: the power of social media to both uplift and destroy people; the evil selfishness that most of us don't see every day; and the fear that everything we've worked for will come crashing down. I was a little sad at some of the time jumps from chapter to chapter, but that's just me wanting more. Love love love this book and highly recommend!

“All this could be yours,” is a captivating read from the very beginning. Found myself needing to cover the page with my hand to prevent my eyes from jumping ahead — they kept trying. I became so absorbed in this book, I thought I was a character. I was looking forward to meeting Tessa; learning about her personal life; having her sign my book; and buying new blue earrings for the event. What a fun ride peeling away the layers of intrigue and following all of the twists and turns. Love, love, love this book.

All This Could Be Yours is a lightning-paced thriller that will have you hooked from the very beginning. Hank Phillippi Ryan has the reader riding along on the roller coaster world of best seller author Tessa Calloway as she attempts to determine who is stalking her why she is on her whirlwind book tour. The twists and turns throughout the book will keep you guessing until the very end of the book.

The book weaves together multiple perspectives, each offering a unique view of the mystery at the heart of the story. Ryan introduces a variety of plotlines which seem unrelated, yet every twist and turn feels deliberate but never confusing. She does an incredible job of keeping each thread clear while maintaining the suspense.

In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how she would manage to tie together all the different storylines and scenarios she set up. With so many moving pieces, I honestly thought there would be unanswered questions by the end. By the final pages, however, Ryan completely pulled everything together in a way that felt satisfying and complete.

I'm giving this one 3 ⭐️. This is a slow burn cat and mouse style read. Tessa is on a book tour for her debut novel. But unsettling things are happening to her both on tour and at home. she has to find out who it is and what they want in time to save her career and family. The overall story is good. It was a little too slow burn for my taste. Things kept occurring, but they were small suspense building events. The responsible party/parties weren't really shocking as it was mostly obvious to me throughout the book. It's still an overall good story worth the read.

I was picked to be one of the author's super readers to read and review a digital ARC. I have seen Hank speak at events for other authors, but this was the first of her books that I have read and I wasn't disappointed. Ironically, I started the book the night before I took a trip to Rockport where I have never been before and in the book the main character has just bought a house there. It was the perfect book for my trip. The book keeps you guessing the entire time and makes you wonder if the main character is just being paranoid or if something is really going on. In a flashback scene to when she was a kid, I knew there was more to it, but I never could have guessed how much more. The twists were great. It was also interesting to read about an author on a book tour written by someone who has actual experience in the same thing. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast paced book where you will never guess the ending.

A Rollercoaster ride for sure! I could actually feel the twists and turns of this thriller. I was pulled in from the first page and barely put it down until the last, reading well past my bedtime.
With great characters, and mysterious plot,the suspense never faltered. A definite must read for all women's suspense/thriller lovers.

Hank Ryan knows how to weave a twisty tale and this one, surprisingly enough, centers around an author. Tessa Calloway is thrilled to finally make the best seller's list. A book took sounds like a dream until someone at each stop begins leaving her subtle messages about something in her past. First she worries that the life she's built will be destroyed, disappointing so many people--her agent, editor, publicist, and fans. But when her husband starts mentioning the neighbors at a brand new home Tessa hasn't even had a chance to live in--one flirtatious, one a bit too interested in Tessa's past and tour schedule, she wonders if her new-found fame is worth it.

Buckle Up Buttercup because this read is one heck of a ride! WOWZA - Hank Phillippi Ryan hit it out of the park with her latest thrill-ride of a mystery. From fantastic characters to a twisty-turny plotline, it's a great read! I had trouble putting this one down and read late into the night with droopy eyelids - LOL. Add this one to your TBR pile for sure!

I have followed Hank Phillippi Ryan for a long time. This book is so well written, with so many twists and turns!! I was astounded at the end. I felt I knew who the stalker would be. But no, another twist! This is truly one of her best books.

From the first page you feel you are on tour with the main character, Tessa Calloway. Tessa is on tour selling her new bestseller book. She is having the time of her life until she finds she is being stalked. She has no idea why or who is stalking her! The book grabs you from the first page and refuses to let you go!

I cannot wait for the next book! I highly recommend this book!

I was granted an early copy from Net Galley.

I absolutely adored this novel by Hank Phillippi Ryan. All This Could Be Yours is a twisty, mysterious page-turner with realistic characters and a unique storyline. You'll never look at a book tour in the same way again! A perfect read for all who love mysteries and/or books about books. Be warned - you'll have a hard time putting this one down!

Thank you to Hank Phillippi Ryan, Minotaur Books, and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and share my thoughts on this novel. I'll definitely be sharing this title with family and friends!
