Amazing as always!!! What can I say about “All This Could be Yours”? An author on a whirlwind countrywide book tour for her New York Times bestselling book “finds” a locket in the bedside drawer in her hotel room in one of the first tour cities and rather than leave it with hotel lost and found, she posts it on her social media with the #LocketMom, takes it with her and it sets off a massive cross-country chase because someone in every city asks about it. There are other things that also happen that are strange. I don’t want to spoil the thrill of anyone reading the book for themselves so I will leave it at that. Highly recommend this book!!!

Thank you so much to the author, Hank Philippi Ryan, for the opportunity to be a super reader and be able to read an advance copy of this book! It’s amazing as all of your books are!

Review of Uncorrected Digital Galley

When Tessa Calloway walked away from her job as a corporate trainer, she had no plan for what would come next. Three years later, she had the answer.

Tessa Calloway created the fictional Annabelle Bown and wrote a runaway bestseller. She’s on a book tour for her massively successful debut book, with devoted fans hanging on her every word at each bookstore stop.

But.

The strange appearance of a locket in her hotel room. The innocent [or are they?] questions about her hometown, her childhood, her family. Disappearing “fans.”

Who is trying to destroy Tessa’s new-found success? And why?

=========

A captivating premise, interesting, well-developed characters, and a true-to-life authenticity all work together to pull readers into the telling of this enthralling tale and to keep those pages turning as fast as possible. A twisty plot with unexpected revelations keeps the tension building; the unfolding story grips readers with its suspense.

A sense of apprehension permeates each page of this compelling tale, keeping readers guessing as the story races toward a denouement they simply won’t see coming. This unputdownable tale of intrigue belongs on everyone’s must-read list. Don’t miss it.

Highly recommended.

I received a free copy of this eBook from St. Martin’s Press / Minotaur Books and NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving this review.

This was a pretty good read thank you for this early copy I will recommend for those that will be looking for something like this

Wow! What a ride! This fast-paced thriller should be used in fiction writing programs to teach writers how to keep tension on every page. I immediately connected with the main character who was likeable yet flawed. And the plot had so many twists and turns, I had no idea how the story was going to end. This is the best book I’ve read in a long time.

Desperate to find out who’s stalking her on her multi-city book tour, with the seeming intention of ruining her personally and professionally, the protagonist of All This Could be Yours must simultaneously navigate timely, complex challenges: how far will she go to protect her children from her own past mistakes? How should she deal with concerns that her husband is making questionable decisions while she’s away? What is the price of grooming and maintaining countless adoring fans on social media, when “her entire existence, her family’s complete livelihood, depended on what people thought of her”? As Tessa Calloway anguishes over these choices, she's unable to take a soul into her confidence– and she must do so without missing a beat, a fan’s question, or the flight to the next city on her book tour. As the stakes rise, Ryan describes the character’s increasing panic with such convincing internality that I wondered at times whether the woman was being gaslit (and if so, why and by whom?) or if she would turn out to be an unreliable narrator, a la Girl on the Train. I felt there was something almost Stephen King-like about the rabbit holes of terror and self-doubt a character can go down when obsessing over a tightly held secret; thankfully, getting to the answers was a fun and compelling ride.

All This Could Be Yours also answers a skeptic’s question about the plot: how could a protagonist, whose debut novel becomes such a dazzling success, sound like such a pro as she deftly navigates the overwhelming fame that comes with it? To respond humbly to an adoring fanbase with consistent grace and gratitude? Ryan writes about this convincingly, no doubt tapping her experiences in real life: both in her storied career as a veteran television journalist, and as a prolific writer of award-winning thrillers. There’s an authenticity here that comes from lived experience.

If you’ve never read Ryan before, All This Can Be Yours, is a great way to start. If you’re already a fan, enjoy!

Hank Phillippi Ryan writes the perfect book and I challenge each of you to pick up yourself a copy of this book and find a nice quiet place to read and get lost in this book. Thank you so very much for writing us this fantastic book.i

ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD

Author Hank Phillippi Ryan has written an exceptionally wonderful cat-and-mouse thriller that will keep you turning the pages way into the night because of the compelling plot that she presents to readers. Ryan allows us to enter the life of Tessa Calloway, a debut author who became an overnight bestseller. Tessa is now on a three-week whirlwind Book Tour to promote her book, All This Could Be Yours. All of Tessa’s dreams are coming true for her professionally, and have allowed her family to move into a fabulous, larger dream home.

As Tessa begins her Book Tour, some disconcerting things make her question herself and her past. Someone is stalking her, but she knows no one will believe her. Someone is harassing her, but again, no one will believe her because it is an outlandish story. Someone is baiting her, but she can’t prove it. What’s next? Generational sin? Blackmail? And, what on earth is going on with her family? Who are all of these mysterious new women in her family’s lives? Why does this Book Tour seem to last three years instead of three weeks? Tessa is quickly discovering “all that glitters is not gold.” Fame and fortune are not worth losing your sanity, freedom, or family.

Readers think they have solved the mystery of who is after Tessa and why, but they will be WRONG! Ryan completes this book with the grandest twist, and no one will ever see it coming! Bravo, Hank Phillippi Ryan, on another exceptionally well-written book!

St. Martin’s Press/Minotaur Books and NetGalley provided me with a copy of this book. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own, and without influence.

This book was full of scary moments. I loved the ending. I won't give it away here, though. Tessa is a kick ass heroine and I enjoyed the book so much. Thanks to Hank Phillippi Ryan for allowing me to read an ARC of it. It had all the thrills and scary moments needed to make you keep turning the page. One of the best thrillers I've read in a long time. Hank Phillippi Ryan ranks up there with Nora Roberts and Allison Brennan in my bookshelves. I loved this book.

I love love love Hank P Ryan books! This one was so twisty it was giving me serious whiplash! It's definitely going to make all the lists this fall and this bookworm will be recommending to everyone!

This was quite an interesting read! It’s about an author dealing with a stalker. I was drawn in after the first chapter and it kept me on my toes. Definitely didn’t see some of the twists coming. Will definitely be recommending this one

We don’t always recognize the pivotal moments in our lives as they are unfolding. But sometimes they explode into vivid, living color later, stalking us and our grown-up successes in ways we never could have imagined.

Hank Phillippi Ryan masterfully states and employs this truth in her latest book “All This Could be Yours”, about a rising author and social media star who is on a tightly scheduled book tour. Her fans are mostly touchingly adoring both in person and online — but Tessa Caldwell has at least one follower who is more stalker than supporter. Who could it be? There are several options — we must journey with Tessa to find out! And, to uncover the early life experiences that continue to haunt her so many years later.

A total page-turner you won’t want to miss!

This book is filled with very interesting characters and a storyline that keeps you guessing. So many twists and turns. A definite page turner. Some times it gets your heart racing and other times I had tears in my eyes. Absolutely loved it.

HPR wrote a great cat-and-mouse mystery. I really enjoyed this book! I go to a lot of author signings, so this really hit home for me. Now I wonder what the authors I see go through while they’re on tour. I never realized it could be so dangerous! I also loved how much the process of writing can be healing was really featured in this.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC.

Holy hoodwinking, Batman, this book is bananas!! I only put it down because I absolutely had to do dishes, bathe, take care of my kids, etc, but seriously, it was soooo unputdownable!

This story asks some scary "what if" questions and follows them to their conclusions. Through the perspective of best-selling debut author on tour, Tessa, we experience her paranoia, fear, guilt, and excitement.

Tessa is on a book tour while her husband is home with the kids settling into their fancy new house. I could help but think of how disconcerting it may be for my own husband when he's away for work and I move all the furniture around LOLOL!

Though I've seen this word thrown around for thrillers, I don't think I've ever used it before myself: this book is PROPULSIVE. It's nonstop drama, twisty, and will have you totally freaked about hotels and social media!

Big thanks to NetGalley, Minotaur Books, and Hank Phillippi Ryan herself for a digital arc to and review! Can't wait for the real thing in my hands!

ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS by HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN

Who needs sleep? Not an author on tour, apparently, and not me once I started this twisty, surprising book. Just when I thought I’d figured it out, another twist. I love Tessa, and her character Annabelle, and their creator, Hank Phillippi Ryan. I recognized some of the writer advice from blog posts, like deciding what a character wants. Tessa wanted the life of a best-selling author, but has she sacrificed her family to get it? I have a new respect for authors from this peek at the “road warrior” life.
The metaphor of spinning plates is one I used myself to describe teaching life, so much to keep track of, always a chance of dropping one. Tessa had a demanding tour, even before other challenges and threats were added, like . . . oh, but that would be telling. Trust me, you want to read it yourself as problems and backstories pile higher and the stakes increase. There are good life lessons, humorous and tender moments, and . . . don’t want to spoil suspense, but you’ll not be sorry, except for that moment when you’ve finished and don’t want to leave the book. Fasten your seatbelt, put the tray table up, ready . . .

Coming Sept. 9. Hank has “a few” other books you could enjoy while you wait.

Wow, Wow, Wow! What an interesting and riveting, fast-paced thriller! This story was told so amazingly well - I felt like I was traveling and watching it all with Tessa. All of the twists that came full circle were so unexpected! I cannot give enough adjectives for how wonderful this book was - I didn't want it to end! Highly, highly recommend!

Being an author is glamorous, right? Travelling city to city for book events, staying in hotels, and being applauded at every event. Tessa Calloway walked away from her corporate job, posting her departure online. She writes a book that is an overnight success. The book tour begins, and Tessa leaves her husband and two children home to meet and greet her fans. While on tour, Tessa documents every step on her socials. After all, her fans want to see her life. What Tessa comes to realize is that becoming popular has a price. Maintaining your privacy is difficult, fans can be super-sleuths. After several odd incidents on the road, Tessa wonders if she has a stalker. Why would she be a target for anyone?

This book is like a peek behind the scenes of a successful book tour. Only someone who has been on a book tour could provide the details we are privy to in Tessa's tour. Ryan perfectly describes the doubts and worries felt by a traveling mom. Doubts and fears can sink any relationship, and the Calloways struggle with their emotions and physical distance. The mystery of whether Tessa is being stalked heightens the stress of the book tour. With the turn of each page, you become more and more invested in Tessa and her story. This is one of those books that you will need a minute to recuperate from. Mystery, suspense, and psychological trickery combine to elevate this book to one of the premier books for late summer! Grab a copy of this book, I highly recommend it!

Hank Phillippi Ryan delivers another absorbing psychological thriller with All This Could Be Yours. Hank herself knows all about book tours, but I'm hoping the one described in this book isn't based on her own experience.

On a tour to promote her uber-popular debut bestseller, Tessa is trying to juggle her hordes of devoted fans, her publishing team, and her demanding schedule with what's going on at home. Her unemployed husband is in charge of their two children after they just moved to a larger home, thanks to Tessa's success, but is he doing a good job, and who are those new neighbors who seem abnormally nosy? Tessa also worries that some nasty secrets that hearken back to her childhood might come back to haunt her when a few of the people she meets on the tour seem to know more about her than they should.

The author is a master at ratcheting up the suspense and maintaining a relentless tone of impending doom, to the point where it is almost unbearable, which is why her books are so popular. I'm sure this one will join her others as a bestseller.

My sincere thanks to Hank Phillippi Ryan and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review of this book.

Hank does it again! She is truly one of the best story tellers.

I absolutely loved this book! Many twists and turns and surprises.

I highly recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for providing me with this amazing digital copy in exchange for my honest opinions.

Somehow, this is my first Hank Phillippi Ryan book.... but it won't be my last!

Tessa Calloway is a debut author whose novel is an instant bestseller with a cult like following. She kind of went viral when she filmed herself quitting her job and walking out... to pursue her dream, which is now soaring. But as she's in the midst of being on book tour, things are not perfect. She misses her family. And she's starting to realize she's not on book tour alone... someone is stalking her. Someone, who knows what she did in her past. This is a tight mystery with a strong emotional impact; I wasn't able to put it down!
