As I sit here speechless, I was brought to tears in the final words of Author Hank Phillippi Ryan’s new thriller “All This Could Be Yours”.

A page-turner from the beginning! The necklace, Sam’s postcard, the stolen suitcase, the earrings and destroyed chocolates kept me on the edge of my seat wondering “what next”!

A best-selling author on tour with a family at home, shadows, noises and assumptions tore at my core!

It will touch your soul in heartfelt ways! A mother, a best friend, a secret… and the truths of what “All This Could Be Yours” really means.

Thrilling twists in this evocative, suspenseful novel I so highly recommend! I loved it!
COMING September 9, 2025, Mark your Calendars!

This is my favorite Hank Phillippi Ryan book since her early days writing reporter-mysteries. "All This Can Be Yours" is as fast-paced as a cross-country book tour. Every day, protagonist Tessa Calloway travels to a new city to meet fans and promote her bestselling novel called, in a moment of meta, "All This Can Be Yours."

I enjoyed the glimpse into the whirlwind world of a bestselling author. She's meeting readers, making a difference in their lives, and with her first book a sensation, she's poised on the brink of a glamorous new career. A couple of weeks in, though, Tessa begins to experience unusual occurrences - items left in her hotel room, a lost-and-found suitcase, audience members demanding answers to strangely personal questions. She begins to think it all revolves around a Bad Thing that happened when she was a little girl, something that only one other living soul knows about.

I warn you, this novel is next to impossible to put down. Every chapter leaves you wanting to know what happens next. If Tessa perhaps misses an obvious question to ask, like 'do you have security cameras in the hallway that would show who went into my room' - blame it on she's exhausted and frazzled and late for her flight to the next book signing.

Ryan uses 21st century technology to both connect Tessa to her family and raise doubts about their safety and security. We see her increasingly frustrated by feeling left out of her husband's and children's lives, as they settle into a new house and meet mysterious new neighbors.

Strange incidents keep escalating until finally Tessa finds her reputation at risk, her publishing future threatened, and her life possibly in very real danger.

If you enjoy mysteries and behind-the-scenes books about the writing life, I recommend "All This Can Be Yours."

I received an advance reader copy of this novel; all thought and opinions expressed here are my own.

All This Could Be Yours was a real page turner. I couldn't put it down as the story followed Tessa on her book tour while strange? scary? creepy? things keep happening that can't possibly all be a coincidence. Why are these things happening? Who is doing them? Keep turning those pages as you try to guess along with Tessa.

Tessa Calloway has made her dreams come true of being published author and going on book tour. Once on tour strange things starts to happen to try and sabotage her career. Meanwhile back home her husband is trying to settling into new house and get the kids into routine. This book tugs on your heart as a Tessa struggles to balance being a mother and having a career and providing for her family. She can't sleep and gets more and more on edge the longer she is gone. Tessa things this all leads back to the terrible thing she did as a child.

Hank is great with building the tension and making you second guess every person on their motives.

Warning: Apply a polish formula containing Bitrex before reading this book.

It's an utter nail-biter that takes readers on a debut novelist's six-week tour to promote her book, <i>All This Could Be Yours</i>.

Metafiction at its very best.

The suspense builds as nerve-racking events multiply, both on the road and at home where the author's husband and tweens are settling into a new house.

This pulse-pounding, twisty, and heartfelt story is my new favorite by Hank Phillippi Ryan and one that fellow book lovers will be wild about!

Thank you to HPR and Minotaur Books for the advance reader copy.

Who would have ever dreamed a Book Tour could be so volatile? ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS is a fast-paced thriller that has all the twists and turns one would expect from Hank Phillippi Ryan. It has an intriguing plot that will have you questioning every character and turning pages as fast as you can. I loved this book – it captured me from the first word to the last!

Thank you Netgalley and St Martins Press for the ARC of this book.

Debut sensation Tessa Calloway is on a whirlwind book tour for her instant bestseller, All This Could Be Yours. In a different city every night, Tessa receives standing ovations from adoring fans while her husband Henry and their two children cheer her on from their brand-new dream house.

But there's a chilling problem with Tessa's triumphant book tour—she soon discovers she is being stalked by someone who's obsessed not only with sabotaging her career, but also with destroying her perfect family back home.

Tessa fears the fallout from an impossible decision she once made—what felt like a genuine deal with the devil—appears to be coming due. And she’s realizing that every high-stakes bargain comes with a high-stakes price. If Tessa can't untangle who's threatening to expose her darkest secrets, she'll lose her career, her family—and possibly her life.

I just could not keep interested in this book. I suppose it's because for some reason I did jot like the main character. This just wasn't a book for me. 2.5 out of 5 ⭐️

Well, I will first say I NEVER imagined where this would end up going! Tessa is a very likeable debut author who has hit it big with her first novel. When she goes on her book tour, strange things start happening that point to secrets in her past. I loved this story, and especially loved the ending! Tessa, and her adorable family were characters that I’d love to have in my life!! Fans of thrillers will really enjoy this one! Another huge hit by Hank Phillippi Ryan!!!

Do you think a bestselling author’s life is easy? Safe? What is it like on the road? All those booksignings? Only Hank could make such a life sound so suspenseful. And there are writing tips, too. Great read

This is an intriguing psychological suspense about secrets of the past coming back to haunt you.
It becomes unsettling as Tessa and the reader don't know what's real and what's part of the stalker's game. I really questioned Tessa and even didn't like her at times, just as the story was meant to do. There was something that didn't quite add up for me and I had to have one of those "suspend disbelief" moments.
The story unfolds more slowly as there are lots of layers to expose the endgame. The reveal was unexpected and the conclusion satisfying.

All this Could Be Yours is a phenomenal thrill ride that grabs your attention and keeps you glued to the pages from beginning to end. I devoured this book, could not stop reading, and had to see how everything played out. Hank Phillippi Ryan is beyond talented, and knows how to tell an awesome story that keeps you engrossed. Her words and stories are so moving and powerful like no one else. Tessa, the main character who is a best selling author, has demons from her past that she hopes will never come out. She loves her husband and children more than anything, and will do everything in her power to keep them safe. While Tessa is on book tours in different cities across the U.S., strange events keep happening that she cannot just chalk up to mere coincidences. Tessa has to try and figure out who is behind all of this, and why. I absolutely loved this book, and I rank it as one of the best books I have ever read. I highly recommend this book, and every book I have ever read by Hank Phillippi Ryan is beyond amazing.

this is a sharp, twisty thriller that blends the glitz of a blockbuster book tour with the creeping dread of a stalker bent on revenge. Tessa’s rise to fame feels both exhilarating and ominous, and as her past catches up with her, the tension never lets up. A clever and compulsively readable story about success, secrets, and how quickly it can all unravel.

I enjoyed this mystery about a writer, Tessa, who is stalked while she is on her book tour. So many twists and turns throughout the book it keeps you turning the page to find out what happens next. Secrets are revealed and a tragedy from Tessa’s past comes back to torment her.

Thanks Netgalley for this eArc!

I've enjoyed Hank Phillippi Ryan's previous books, so I was excited to get an ARC of All This Could Be Yours. The story sounded so intriguing (as a book lover, I love when the protagonist is an author), but the narrative style wasn't a fit for me. I hope it's a better fit for other readers.

This story was quite the rollercoaster. Just when you think you have things figured out something else comes along. I found the characters to be relatable and I was really rooting for Tess. The ending was a bit underwhelming but satisfying. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC!

Slick, smart, and full of sharp edges, All This Could Be Yours is a fast-paced thriller that peels back the glittery facade of literary fame to reveal something far more sinister—and satisfying.

Tessa Calloway has it all: a bestselling debut novel, a picture-perfect family, and a whirlwind book tour filled with adoring readers. But beneath the applause and Instagrammable success lies a secret Tessa has fought hard to bury—one that someone clearly intends to dig up. As the tension mounts, it becomes clear that the price of fame might be more than just bad reviews and burnout—it could cost her everything.

Hank Phillippi Ryan nails the psychological suspense, threading paranoia and glamour into a tightly coiled plot. Tessa’s descent from celebrated author to hunted woman is both thrilling and deeply human—she’s ambitious, flawed, and refreshingly aware of the machine behind her so-called “overnight” success. The insider glimpses into the publishing world add juicy texture, and the twists hit at just the right moments.

Some threads are a bit over-the-top, and readers looking for deep character development beyond Tessa might find themselves wishing for more dimension in the supporting cast. Still, this is a propulsive read that makes for a perfect one-sitting thriller—equal parts domestic noir and fame-gone-wrong suspense.
