Well, Victoria Selman is back and reminding us why she is so fantastic. All the Little Liars is completely addictive and unputdownable.

This is an unpredictable, rollercoaster read with so many twists that keep you guessing. It’s quite hard to write a review of this one without giving away any big spoilers- but I’m going to give it a go anyway.

Our narrator is the sister of missing girl. Selman has given the reader a dual timeline to help us get deeper into events that took place. This is the horrifying tale of three teenagers attending a party, but only two returning.

This book is brilliant. It has completely consumed me and been a book that I was unwilling and unable to put down. I have adored this from beginning to end. I started this with the intention of reading a couple of chapters and ended up devouring this in just one sitting.

Selman is a genius, she has a real talent for throwing the unexpected at the reader and keeping you guessing throughout. This is so well written that I feel as though I have been watching this play out in front of me.

This is perfectly paced. Selman has literally pulled the ground from under me on occasions and I’ve been left completely stunned. All The Little Liars is a definite must read. There is nothing negative I can say about this book because it is truly brilliant.

Selman is an author who gets better and better. This is phenomenal and Selman has reminded her readers how brilliant she is with this one. There is nothing negative I can say about this book.

Twenty years ago, three 13 year old girls sneak out to go to a party but only 2 of the girls return. They both confess to having murdered their friend but did they?

This is told from the point of view of one of the girls little sisters. From before the girl goes missing, whilst she is missing and then again, now - 20 years later.

I couldn't put this book down and it's very twisty. I was totally kept on my toes. All the characters are great and so true to life.

This was an intriguing book with so many twists and turns it was hard to keep up! The plot was revealed bit by bit in a dual timeline and it worked really well with the story. I loved how everything unfolded and I couldn’t stop reading because I needed to know what happened next. I struggled with the characters and that ultimately lessened my enjoyment of the book. However, it’s still worth a read and I’ll definitely be checking out more by the author in the future. Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and publisher for a chance to read and review this book.

I really enjoyed this book….a twisty true crime inspired psychological thriller which was a struggle to out down!
Fast paced and well written, I found the exploration of relationships and manipulation riveting and I liked that the chapters are short and there’s a good mix of different writing styles such as articles, news reports and diary entries keeping the reader interested.
I’ve not read Selman’s previous book yet but it’s now on my tbr list after reading this one.
Clearly a talented author of psychological thrillers which are right up my street!

My second book by Victoria Selman, and I found it just as good as Truly, Darkly, Deeply. I didn't mind the slower pace on this one as I feel the true crime "effect" makes it feel more real. Very well constructed characters in a gripping mystery I absolutely recommend.
Thanks to NetGalley, the editor and the author for the opportunity to access this copy.

So this book is based around multiple true crime stories, and the main one is evident. Three best friends go out together, only two return. This book is gripping and very well written. It's clear that research has been undertaken for this story. It's a mixture of before the incident, after the incident, and twenty years after. Mixed in with articles, and transcripts related to the story. This is the first book by this author and I was not disappointed - I would read more of her work. I really enjoyed this story.

Loved this Read it in one great gulp of a sitting it was massively addictive and really well done.

Twists and turns and intriguing characters, I loved the way it went back and forth on its way to an unpredictable finale with a surprise or two along the way.

Very involving and clever. One of the better psychological thrillers I've read lately on readability factor. Recommended.

I didn’t realise this book was part of a series so can definitely be read as a stand-alone too. An interesting who done it type novel, which when you think you’ve got it all sussed, it twists and turns again. Really easy read!

3 tweens sneek out to go to a party at Turtle Lake, only 2 girls return home. When the body turns up the other two friends admit to murdering her. The story is told through 3 time lines (before the murder, after the murder and now 20 years on......

Its best to go in blind on this one, it took me a little while to get into it. Whilst it didnt captivate me as Truly Darkly deeply did it was still an enjoyable read

I didn't realise this was part of a series and it was number 9! However it was really enjoyable and a good thriller!

Having read ‘Truly, Darkly, Deeply’ and really enjoyed it, I was looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. Three teenagers attend a party at Turtle Lake and only two return. The book follows a couple of timelines providing back story and largely focuses on Finn, the elder sister of one of the girls. It is quote dark in places without going into spoilers. Relationships are a big part of the plot (family, friendship), the dynamics, manipulation and the toxicity that can also arise especially when situations are inappropriate.

There’s plenty of twists and turns, as the book developments and up until the end of book, you are still not sure who was actually the main instigator. A well written true crime-esque read, and well worth picking up a copy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quercus Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

4 stars.

Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was not my usual genre, but I enjoyed it. A little sad in places and the characters and circumstances are believable. A good read.

So… I don’t really know what to say about this book. Did it keep me on edge? Kind of. But I don’t think I got on with the writing style… and I found it really hard to gauge who was being spoken about. I also didn’t really like the chapter styles being before, after and now… it was hard to keep up with.

I was surprised by the twist so I will give it that and if you like this style of writing then you’d probably find this a great book. I would give 3⭐️ if I liked the style ☺️

Very slow paced book. Characters don't seem to develop and the story just doesn't seem to flow in my opinion. Not the best read and I struggled to actually complete reading it.

A strange book with some situations and characters that never come to any developed conclusion. One of the most important people in the plot, Ryder, remained a shadowy character whereas his role was key. Add to that the most unlikely scenario of what thirteen year old girls would be allowed to do and it sums up to be a rather juvenile read.

Classic twisty teen whodunnit. But nothing I’ve not read before. I felt like explanations were a bit light touch, too many threads left untied, barely explored the Ryder storyline which was possibly the most interesting. liked, but didn’t love it.

After a slow start and a little confusion I really got into this book, even getting up early to finish when I fell asleep!

I won’t go into too much of the synopsis as I don’t want to spoil the story. What I will say is the story is narrated by one of the sisters of a group of three girls who went to a party and only two returned home.

Fin tells the story in three parts; Before, After & Now. What happened at the party and who was to blame?

I went into this story blind so didn’t really know what to expect other than having read some great reviews.

I nearly gave up but I am so glad I didn’t, this was worth the perseverance and it certainly ‘got me’ with the twists!

I will be looking for more by this author!

Thank you to @netgally and @bookatoure for this arc.

A good thriller that mixes elements of true crime and mystery. An unreliable narrator, a story that not always makes you understand what is going on.
It kept me reading and I enjoyed it.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are mine

All The Little Liars is an incredibly readable thriller in the style of a true crime story mixed with plenty of suspense. What happened to the thirteen year old girl that went missing after sneaking off to a party with two of her friends?

The book is told in a dual timeline, which helps to build suspense and keep the reader guessing. We view events through the eyes of the younger sister of one of the girls as she recounts their time growing up in the period before and after the party, and how their lives changed forever. We also join her in the present day, as an adult. The case from years ago seems to be back on someone’s radar, and we slowly start to piece together what really happened…

I loved that this book has you thinking one way, until you click that things aren’t what your originally thought. The twists and surprises, some sudden and some a slow dawning of realisation, kept me gripped. I would recommend not reading too much about this one before you start, like I tried not to, as it was even more of a satisfying read.

The characters are well-developed and believable. Some are less than likeable but all of them add to the air of mystery – who can we trust, and who knows what really happened that night, other than the young girls who were there? I raced through this novel, and found it satisfyingly addictive, like the other great books I’ve read by this author. Definitely recommended!

Thank you to Netgalley for offering me the opportunity to read this ARC. This was a book which, at its heart, was a murder mystery - a young girl dies in California in 2003, everyone thinks they know who killed her, but it's clear as the story progresses that things aren't quite so simple as that.
The story is written from the perspective of a younger sister and initially it's not clear who she is the younger sister of, victim or murderer. There were elements of the way that the book was written, seemingly deliberately to obscure things like this that annoyed me a little. The narrator was also a bit annoying and not particularly likeable. Nonetheless this was a book that sucked me in and had some interesting twists towards the end.
