Every Little Secret has it all! Love, betrayal, family, trust, rivalry, friends, twists and turns, many you never see coming. We are literally dropped into the action immediately. Very few characters - Grace, her husband Mar us, daughter Kaia, Graces brother Josh and Chloe her best friend. The little girl makes disturbing allegations and we don’t know who to trust. Claustrophobic feel, mostly in Graces head, with flashbacks through their decades of friendship. Hard to figure out and even harder to put down.

Hard to put down this fast paced thriller! Shocking twists I didn’t see coming.

The plot was interesting but it was a little too melodramatic for me. Lots of twists but it didn't really work for me

3.5/5 stars: Great family centric thriller! Truly did not know what to think throughout and did not expect the ending. As a mom I struggled a little emotionally through this book (anyone who has read The Push can relate but this was not at that level).

Every Little Secret by Sarah Clarke was a wonderful, interesting, compelling ride!
The plot to this one was a fast paced one, it really kept the story flowing well and kept me engaged from page one. I found nothing that was draggy or slow with the story. There were also some pretty unexpected events that took shape in this one.
I loved the action and excitement that came along with this one.
I think the climax was very well done and had me on the edge of my seat.
Clarke paints such a vivid picture that it almost feels like watching a movie in my mind while reading. It really puts the reader right into the action which is what creates such beautiful suspense.

HQ Digital,

I started this book yesterday and finished it today and it was an amazing book ! When grace and Marcus's daughter falls out of a tree , both doting parents rush with her to the hospital. Hoping for the best grace had no clue what to expect when the Dr asks her to come speak with him about Grace's condition without Marcus. Soon the fairytale life that grace thinks they are leading is shattered when the Dr tells her that kaia is saying that Marcus ( her father ) pushed her out of the tree. At first grace chalks it up to the concussion Kaia got , but soon Kaia is accusing Marcus of hurting her again and again. Grace doesn't know what to believe and is afraid her and Marcus secret about kaias birth will come out and they could lose her forever . Josh , Grace's brother comes to help out but soon grace realizes people are never who the seem . This book is full of twist and turns that keep you guessing . Is Kaia lying or is Marcus really hurting her? The ending of the book was one I would have never suspected and added to the mystery . I would recommend this five star book to anyone..

I devoured this in 24 hours! This was my first book by Sarah Clarke. I will definitely be checking out more of her books! I read a lot of thrillers, and sometimes it is impossible to not guess the plot, and I did with this one, but it didn't take away from the enjoyment of the read. I loved the writing style, and this is one to not miss if you a thriller fan like me!!!

Shocking! Totally didn't see the twists coming, especially the explosive ending. I loved the characters too. Excellent writing; I'll be looking for more from Clarke for sure. This was gripping with puzzle pieces coming together from two timelines which I loved and added to the suspense and tension. Great and gripping thriller.

A solid four star read. Good premise. Great characters. Enjoyed the style of writing. Plenty of mystery to keep me interested. I guessed the culprit hence the four star review. Definitely look forward to her next offering.Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it

Grace and Marcus are happily married. They have a 7 year old daughter. Kaia, who is loved and adored by all. Kaia has always been a bit of a daddy’s girl, loving the rough and tumble of playing sports with him and spending time just the two of them, so when her attitude towards Marcus starts to change and she accuses him of physical abuse, there is disbelief all round. The problems don’t end in the home, Kaia voices her accusations at school, at her grandparents house, and at the hospital where she is taken after falling out of a tree. Who is Grace to believe? Who can she turn to? There are secrets surrounding Kaia’s birth and parentage that no one wants the authorities to discover, there seems to be no way out of the situation.

This is a real gripper of a story. The plot twist and weaves, backtracks and goes full speed. A totally absorbing read with a really good storyline. Loved it, one to recommend!

Thank you NetGalley.

I devoured every page of Every Little Secret. It’s gripping, thrilling and impossible to put down. Full of secrets and lies as it seamlessly transitions between past and present. I’d rate this book 5 stars and look forward to reading more from this author. Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and the author for the chance to review.

A great story.
Grace has it all. Only she knows about the cracks in her picture-perfect life… and the huge secret behind them. After all, who can she trust? Her brother Josh is thousands of miles away, and he and Grace have never been close – he was always their parents’ favourite. Her best friend Coco walked away from her years ago, their friendship irreparably fractured by the choices they’ve made. And her husband Marcus seems like a different man lately. Grace can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something. But when her seven-year-old daughter makes a troubling accusation, Grace must choose between protecting her child and protecting her secret… before she loses everything.
I loved this book. Sarah Clarke is an awesome author.
Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me an advance copy.
