This story follows two women - Aida and Mandy.
Aida is someone who sees the good in people and struggles to set healthy boundaries. She finds something disturbing on her husband’s computer. During a night out, Chris is run down by a car and Aida finds herself in the company of the owner of their rental house who says she will protect her.
Meanwhile, Mandy’s marriage is rocky at best. She’s struggling with being a new mom to an 18 month old boy who was unplanned. Her husband travels a lot for work. He is portrayed as being manipulative and she is afraid to make a move that will anger him.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The writing style flows well. The author writes in short sentences and the rhythm is fast paced. I finished this book in 24 hours. Each chapter alternates between both women’s point of view and many of the chapters end on a cliffhanger or very tense note which makes you want to keep reading.
I kept trying to figure out where the story was going but I was wrong each time. Everything you think you know is wrong.
How these two women’s stories unravel are absolutely unpredictable. Everything feels off, but you can’t tell what is real and what isn’t. If you think you’ve figured it out, you’re wrong! I dare you to try and solve the mystery.

Thanks Booksirens for providing an advanced reader copy and to the publisher. I was intrigued with the synopsis and looked forward to reading Out of the fog. The book is very much written from two different characters we meet Adia and Mandy, both have opposite lifestyles and dont appear to have much in common at all.
Adia finds something disturbing with Chris and its never quite revealed untill later on, but of course there is a big incident that changes the course of this book and wow. This really did take a very sinister road elsewhere and the themes are disturbing in parts. Its not a light hearted read so reader please ensure that there is reflection on mental health and addiction attached in this book and elements on abuse of power . Its nothing fierce but you are taken on a perspective of how mental health can actually seem in someones mind. I must admit the chapter with Adia and the mouse/rat provided some comfort and i could find myself giggling at parts at it gave the character some company amongst the choas of survival . But there is the reality of how people can become gaslighted and controlled through lies and abuse this was the hard part to read.
The second main character is Mandy and its a complete different contrasting character which i think worked really well for this book. There is emphasis on relationships and the complexity of marriage and children. Some of the themes tackled in this book are done very effectively and sensitively, i loved both the characters and the strength shown as both female characters face alot of adversity but do come out stronger and trust their own judgements . Even with the struggles of the past weighing heavily on their mind they manage to push forward.
I did feel slightly lost with some of the turns towards the end and i think as a reader you are trying to figure out the family history and then both characters are bought together in the big picture towards the end. I felt like i didnt quite digest it and i kept going back to see how the puzzle fitted together to bring these women into each others lives. I think there has to be more focus on my behalf of the last few chapters as theres alot that goes on. I did feel that i was enthralled in it and keen to see what happened next, if you want suspense and page turning and a deepness to a book then this is your read.

This is an interesting book with a unique theme. I had no clue where it was going. We have two women where both have their own trauma to navigate. I like how the author tied everything together. She didn’t try to push that irritating last chapter for a stupid twist like so many other authors! I’ll definitely read more of her books!

Nothing is as it seems… not even the blurb.
3½ stars, rounded up to 4 start.
Out of the Fog promises a taut, addictive thriller—what you get is something far more convoluted. The story follows two women, Adia and Mandy, whose lives are on a slow-motion collision course. Gaslighting is everywhere—by everyone, or so it feels—and you’re never really sure what’s real, what’s manipulation, or what the actual stakes are.
The structure jumps between Adia and Mandy, often ending chapters on tense cliffhangers before yanking you into the other woman’s spiral. I found this switch-up more irritating than suspenseful—it felt like I was being dragged back and forth without enough payoff each time.
That said, I had to finish it. I wanted to know what the heck was going on… even if the answer took its sweet time showing up. The pacing dragged in places, and while the story had its moments, it wasn’t the tight thriller the blurb promised. Definitely more of a slow-burn psychological unraveling.
Now about those twists—honestly, they didn’t feel like twists. Without all the chess pieces on the board, the reveals landed more as “oh, okay then” than jaw-droppers. It’s hard to be shocked when the key details were deliberately held back from the reader.
One warning: don’t assume anything while reading. Every time I thought I had it figured out, 2 plus 2 equaled 5. That unpredictability could be a strength—but here, it leaned into confusion rather than cleverness.
Lost a star for the pacing and tonal mismatch, and another half for the messy logic and lack of satisfying reveals.

Received as a review copy from Booksirens, this is and honest review. This book has a good premise of presenting the stories of two women: Asia and Mandy and using mostly alternating chapters to taken the readers on a wild ride as their idyllic lives are torn apart by lies that threaten to consume them. Adia doesn't really know what's the truth or a lie about her husband Chris after a twisted accident brings a nosy neighbor Hattie into her life in dark ways that are slowly eating her sanity a her life under this woman's " protection" make Asia something similar to Alice trapped in wonderland. For Mandy, all she wants to give her son Watts a colorful life but here husband's Keith globe-trotting work habits puts both into foreign territory that feels more chaotic than welcoming with secrets that leave Mandy unmoored.

Fog? Try Fire.
🔥 Creeping dread, chilling truths, and the kind of emotional whiplash I live for.
Y’all… Out of the Fog messed me up in the best way. I cracked it open thinking I was getting a little slow-burn thriller retreat—you know, moody beach fog, a couple marital issues, healing vibes—and then bam, I got psychological warfare, manipulation so sharp it sliced straight through me, and two women tangled in the kind of mess you don’t come back from the same.
Adia and Mandy?
Whew. These two are like walking pressure cookers just waiting to blow, and I was glued to every second of it. Adia starts off in a coastal “healing” getaway that turns into something way more sinister, and let me tell you—I felt her fear. That isolated, gaslit, crawling-under-your-skin kind of fear. And then Mandy… whew. Her situation hit deep. The kind of quiet unraveling that happens when you’re told you should be happy but something feels off, and then the “off” turns into “oh hell no.”
Alison Lyle nailed that slow-clawing, atmospheric suspense. The fog in this book? Not just weather—it’s emotional. It’s the haze of denial, control, trauma, and the haunting feeling that something’s wrong long before you can name it.
And don’t even get me started on the twists. I pride myself on sniffing out plot turns a mile away, but this one? Played me like a fiddle. Right when I thought I had it figured out, the story smirked and dragged me deeper.
But the heart of it all? These women. They refuse to stay lost. They push through the confusion, the control, the fear—and they fight. I was holding my breath, clutching my Kindle, whispering “you’ve got this” like I was coaching them from the sidelines. And when Adia and Mandy’s stories finally collide? Goosebumps. Straight-up goosebumps.
If you like your thrillers female-centered, emotionally raw, and twisted in a way that feels all too real—Out of the Fog is for you. It’s dark, it’s honest, and it doesn’t flinch. I came for a reset. I left emotionally scorched and hungry for more.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go double-check every locked door and emotionally decompress.
Five stars. For the fog, the fire, and the women who claw their way out.

Ya'll, I don't even know where to start...OMG
There is so much to unpack in this one. So. MUCH. But I don't want to say too much because I don't want to be THAT reviewer who offers up all the spoilers. So...w/ no real idea how to get into it, I'm just going to talk about how this book made me feel.
Ever have one of those reads where the author just crawls out of the pages, slithers around in your head & leaves you w/ a serious case of the heebie jeebies AND in need of a quick call to a friend to make sure you're back in the real world? Yeah, me neither - til now. As a new reader to this author, I feel like I skipped the frying pan, the fire & just jumped straight into the seven hells.
No joke. This book played some serious head games & just when you think you've got a grip - the author tosses the car off the cliff & says "oh, btw, hang on" - only for you to suddenly be standing back at the top going HUH - WTF just happened?! Yeah. It's that, & more.
My hubby laughed at me when I said I was starting to question my own sanity & mumbling at the book as I read. I must have given him some kind of look because he did a double-take & was like WTH are you reading & should I be worried?! LMAO
I'm not alright yet. I feel like something is just sticking w/ me & I'm not sure alright will be in the ballpark again. This book is simultaneously THAT good & THAT unbelievably creepy in terms of the way it lands. It gives the kind of chills that you just have to carry w/ you while you question everyone & everything in the wildest fashion.
Well done, Alison. Well freaking done!.

This one messed with my head—in a good way. Out of the Fog follows the separate-but-intertwined stories of two women: Mandy and Adia. Adia’s husband, Chris, is presumed dead after an accident, and she’s taken in by Hattie—who Chris apparently couldn’t stand, which instantly raises red flags. Adia’s chapters had me feeling like I needed a GPS and a stiff drink, but I actually think the confusion was the point. You’re not just reading about her mental fog, you’re in it. Trippy.
Meanwhile, Mandy’s story comes with a twist that slapped me out of nowhere. I did not see that coming—and that kind of shock is what I show up for in a psychological thriller. I love when a book manages to do that without feeling forced, and this one nailed it.
Bonus points for short chapters and an overall eerie vibe that lingers. A solid read if you're into slow-burning unease, psychological tangles, and not knowing who to trust.
Some books hold your hand. Out of the Fog pushes you down a psychological staircase and watches from the shadows.

We're Going To Need A Bigger Definition
The United States National Weather Service defines 8 different types of fog. None of them describe the misty, shifting confusion that Alison Lyle weaves for her characters and readers. I was quickly swallowed within this Lyle-Fog and felt delightfully disoriented throughout the story.
The writing is crisp and clear, but the implications, the lies and deceit, the manipulations, and the secrets create such a haze that the reader begins to question what he or she “remembers” from the early chapters. Did we witness an unfortunate accident, or was there forethought and purpose behind it? I didn’t know for sure. In this way, Alison Lyle invites her readers to experience the story like her characters. We simply cannot believe or trust what we see and hear.
In the end, we need some outside help to bring us out of the fog.
Though psychological thrillers are not my typical choice for reading, this is one of my favorite reads of 2025. Highly recommended.

Mind games and gaslighting like I've never seen before and from more than one source. What's right? Who to believe? Am I losing my mind? It took me a minute to adjust to the twists and figure out what was going on. Characters I trusted and shouldn't have trusted. What a journey to the end. Just when yoy think you know what's up, the author ends it with a huge truth bomb that will have you reeling. I voluntarily read a free copy of this book provided by book sirens and am giving an honest review.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This was an absolute thriller. I couldn’t put it down because I was desperate to find out what happens next. I loved the way the narration and chapters went between the 2 women. I really enjoyed the character development and the pursuit of strength and survival of both. I was cheering them on while also trying to figure out what the outcome would be in the end. A great twisty read for summer, I will be reading this one again!

I was intrigued by the description and the beginning of the book. It lost me and most of my attention after that until the end. I found Mandy's story easier to follow, understand and be interested in. Aida's story (Sam) was just all over the place all through the middle of the book. The cabin scenes became so repetitive as did the dialogue. That lost my interest. The ending was interesting as everything was explained and tied together.

Thank you Booksprout for the free ARC! So, this book I couldn’t get into at first. I stopped and started 3 times, but I kept returning since I wanted to give it a fair chance because I appreciate getting free books. Well, after the accident happened the novel got intriguing and crazy… quite enjoyable! I would recommend this book/author for the writing style and entertainment level.

This book follows the story of seemingly unconnected women and flips back and forth between their stories. I usually enjoy this type of book, but I found it difficult to get invested in either story until more than halfway through the book. The book did have some decent twists, but overall, the storyline seemed a bit to repetitive for my taste.

I liked this a lot but the back and forth between storylines was a bit confusing. Both storylines were good and got better once the connection is made.
I’d recommend it as it did keep my attention throughout the book.

This book was full of twists, taking the reader on a wild and thrilling ride. I didn't know who was telling the truth and who wasn't and it had me guessing the entire time. I couldn't wait to get to the end to see how it all tied together.

The title suited the book really well as sometimes I felt like I was in a fog whilst reading this book as although it had short chapters sometimes it got confusing. However saying that it kept me completely engrossed and I had to finish to find out what happened.

Boy does my head hurt after this one. There is so much going on that you really have to pay attention. Even i started to feel crazy from trying to figure out this book. The audio version was nice and easy to listen to. If you are wanting something to really focus on then this is it.

Confusing at times between the various POVs but a decent story.
I'd like longer chapters if it means more resolution before switching to another POV.

There's a new voice in twisty thrillers and her name is Alison Lyle.
I really don't want to say too much here about the plot. Just know that in her first novel, which I liked very much, I remember saying to myself that there was no way it all would came together. Yet, it did. This time, I trusted her, and just sat back and waited for it to happen.
You may question what you're reading a time or two - it isn't always easy material to sit through. There are plenty of unsettling moments. Yet, give her time to work her magic. I found no fault anywhere. No missteps, no stretching too far. And what a ride!
She's fast becoming the master at this. And what I marvel over is the fact that this isn't her 10th effort, but her second. How much better is she going to get?
If you like dark material, edge of your seat thrillers with unexpected and satisfying twists and turns, this is the place.
