The Lies We Raise

2025 Psychological Thriller Book With A Twist

"One of the most unnerving and intelligent psychological thrillers you will read this year. Utterly unputdownable."

WELCOME TO THE GLASS HOUSE.

From the outside, the home is an architectural marvel in the quiet town of Willowbrook. Walls of glass. Open spaces. No secrets.
From the inside, it is a prison.
And Claire Montgomery is not its owner. She is its warden.

After an unspeakable act of violence shattered her family, Claire’s life has become a suffocating routine of surveillance. She checks locked drawers. She tracks screen time. She counts every breath. She is desperately trying to understand the fourteen-year-old stranger she is raising, terrified of what she might find.

But the truth is infinitely worse than she imagined.

HER DAUGHTER ISN'T JUST HEALING. SHE’S HUNTING.

When a new family moves in next door, Claire witnesses a terrifying shift in Zoe. The detached child becomes a predator in waiting. The proof is in a hidden sketchbook—codenamed "Project Nightingale"—a meticulously detailed blueprint for the new neighbors’ psychological ruin.

It is the work of a prodigy. A prodigy of manipulation.

BUT CLAIRE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE WATCHING.

Disgraced PI Jocelyn Reed is chasing the ghost of her own career. Her hunt for a methodical, invisible killer has led her straight to Willowbrook. She is closing in on the Montgomery family, and she won't stop until she uncovers the truth—no matter who gets in her way.

As the walls of the glass house begin to close in, Claire is forced to make an impossible choice:
Protect the world from her daughter... or become a monster herself to save her child.
