My Review
Renowned for her mastery of cat-and-mouse thrillers, bestselling author Hank Phillippi Ryan—one of my favorite writers—strikes again with her most compelling work to date, the enthralling ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS.
In her signature style, Ryan crafts a heart-pounding narrative that propels readers into the whirlwind of a bestselling debut author's book tour and a perilous game of cat and mouse. Lurking in the shadows is a sinister fan whose obsessive behavior threatens to unearth the author's deeply buried secrets.
This captivating thriller unfolds like a finely woven tapestry, intertwining suspense and intrigue, ensuring that you remain utterly absorbed, unable to turn away from its gripping pages.
What's it about...
Tessa Calloway, a devoted wife and mother of two, has burst onto the literary scene with her stunning debut novel, All This Could Be Yours, which has quickly captured the hearts of readers everywhere, earning her the prestigious title of New York Times bestselling author.
At the heart of Tessa’s captivating narrative is Annabelle, a fiercely spirited woman who boldly defies the societal shackles that confine so many. As she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, Annabelle unearths the courage to seize her one precious life and pursue her true desires.
However, with the accolades of her newfound fame comes the grueling demands of a rigorous book tour. Tessa finds herself separated from her loving husband and children, who are settling into their dream home—a picturesque setting now wrapped in the weight of a hefty mortgage.
While adoring fans shower her with praise, the price of stardom extracts a toll that leaves Tessa feeling adrift. Endless travel, restless nights spent in stark hotel rooms, and whirlwind events across diverse cities have created a chasm between her and her family. Each passing day in a different time zone leaves scarce opportunity for FaceTime chats, and Tessa grapples with the gnawing sensation that she is missing out on the cherished moments of her children’s lives.
As if the whirlwind of fame weren’t daunting enough, Tessa begins to notice unsettling occurrences trailing her during the book tour. A shadowy figure emerges, driven by a chilling obsession not only to undermine her blossoming career but also to dismantle the ideal family she has painstakingly nurtured back home.
Dark secrets from her past start to surface, threatening to unravel everything she holds dear. As the storm of intrigue encroaches upon her world, Tessa must confront the haunting mysteries that could shatter her dreams and endanger the happiness she has fought so hard to protect.
My thoughts...
Hank masterfully unleashes her narrative prowess in her latest novel within a novel, ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS. With a deft hand, she weaves a tale brimming with suspense and tension, expertly planting clues left by an obsessive stalker fan that grips readers in a relentless race against time. Each turn of the page pulls you deeper into this twisty psychological thriller, where every moment is laced with intrigue.
At the heart of this compelling page-turning story lies a beautifully complex character: an author, devoted mother, and loving wife. She is portrayed with such depth and relatability as she grapples with the enigmatic present while haunted by fragmented memories from her tumultuous past. Hank presents a rich tapestry of encounters that complicate her life, creating an exhilarating game of cat and mouse filled with unexpected twists and turns.
As a longtime admirer of Hank's work, having immersed myself in all her previous novels, I can confidently say that ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS is nothing short of a masterpiece!

Audiobook...
Alongside the e-book, I had the pleasure of immersing myself in the audiobook, masterfully narrated by the incredibly talented Sarah Mollo-Christensen. Her exceptional performance breathed life into the characters, infusing each one with a captivating blend of suspense and intensity. With her vivid and expressive descriptions, she transformed the narrative into a richly textured experience, allowing the story to unfold in my mind with breathtaking clarity and emotion.
My Recs...
Captivating and unforgettably thrilling, ALL THIS COULD BE YOURS is a must-read for both devoted fans of the author and those who relish intricately crafted psychological thrillers. This gripping narrative will resonate particularly well with readers who appreciate the works of Liv Constantine, Lisa Gardner, Lisa Scottoline, Lisa Unger, Jenova Rose, and Kimberly Belle. With its rich character development, unexpected twists, and a storyline that delves deep into the complexities of human relationships, this book promises to keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.
