All the Lies by Nicolas Sanders is a gripping psychological thriller that pulls you in from the very first chapter. The story revolves around a web of secrets, deceit, and shocking revelations, with each character hiding something dark beneath the surface.

The plot is well-paced, with enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. As each layer of mystery unravels, Sanders masterfully builds tension, making it difficult to put the book down. I found myself constantly guessing (and second-guessing) the true motives of the characters. The unreliable narration adds an extra level of intrigue, keeping you on your toes throughout.

However, there were moments where the pacing felt a bit slow, especially in the middle sections. Some character development could have been deeper, as I felt a few side characters lacked depth, but the main protagonist's journey was compelling enough to carry the narrative.

The final twist was both satisfying and surprising—Sanders really knows how to leave you reeling in the last few pages. If you enjoy a good psychological thriller packed with mind games, tension, and suspense, All the Lies is a solid pick.
fast-paced
Loveable characters: No

Quick and easy listen; The twist wasn't that shocking but this would be a good book for someone who has never read a thriller.

The beginning of this was so good. I was really into it. But then it just plateaued for long the rest of the book. Unfortunately it never got great again.

I don’t know how this book has 4 stars. The writing was atrocious, the main character was annoying…really they all were. There is not one good thing to be said about this book except that I am thankful it wasn’t longer.

i have no idea why don't let her stay got all the hype while this one stayed underrated.
literally so wholesome and perfect i want to reread it again immediately!!
also the ending is obviously the best. Soooooo satisfying
the author somehow managed to keep me entertained and engaged within 200 pages which is probably the best part.
