I honestly never expected to return to this world. Like so many readers, I thought this series had wrapped up years ago, so getting a surprise fourth book felt like reconnecting with old friends I didn’t realize I still missed.
Kerry Lonsdale once again proves how effortlessly she blends genres. This isn’t just a romance, and it isn’t just a mystery. It’s a compelling mix of family drama, emotional relationships, long held secrets, and page turning suspense that keeps the story moving while still making room for heartfelt character moments. The balance between all of those elements is one of the things I’ve always loved most about her writing.
Nadia and Thomas are wonderfully developed characters whose shared history adds so much emotional weight to every interaction. Their second chance romance feels earned because it’s built on years of sacrifice, regret, loyalty, and love. As the layers of the past are peeled back, the emotional stakes become just as gripping as the external danger surrounding them.
Lonsdale’s writing has always felt incredibly easy to sink into, and Everything We Found was no exception. The pacing is fast enough to keep you turning pages, but never at the expense of character development. The story flows naturally, making it an engaging read from beginning to end.
While I do think new readers could follow this book as a standalone, longtime fans will appreciate it so much more after experiencing the first three novels. Seeing familiar characters again and watching lingering storylines come full circle makes this finale especially satisfying.
Perfect for Readers Who Love
* Second chance romance with years of history
* Family drama woven into suspenseful mysteries
* Emotional stories filled with secrets and redemption
* Character driven romantic suspense
* Fast paced novels that blend multiple genres seamlessly

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free, electronic ARC of this novel received in exchange for an honest review.
Expected publication date: August 3, 2026
“Everything We Found” is the fourth novel in the Everything series of novels by bestselling novelist Kerry Lonsdale. Each novel in the series focuses on a different protagonist in a friend group and this iteration focuses on Thomas and Nadia, as they hide from drug cartels and try to save their loved ones from its dangerous clutches. In perfect Lonsdale fashion, there’s drama, intrigue, deception and, of course, romance.
Both Nadia and Thomas narrate the novel in turn, both in the current time period and also as far back as ten years ago, when Nadia and Thomas met when they were both teenagers and started to develop their friendship that turned into much more. Each chapter is headed by who is narrating and what time period it is, so it’s easy to follow, and the back-and-forth helps build the tension and further introduce readers to the main characters.
“Found” is the final story in the Aimee, James, Thomas, Ian and Nadia saga and it wraps up each story line perfectly. For those who haven’t read any of the other stories in the “Everything” series, each of the four novels is different enough that it isn’t difficult to follow along and keep up although, like with most series, I highly recommend reading the other three.
I went back and forth on my opinions of Thomas and Nadia, as they did things that frustrated me and had me yelling angrily, but I also wanted them to get together desperately, as their chemistry was undeniable. Although I was doubtful at first, they are characters to invest in.
Lonsdale is always on my list of authors to watch for and I’m eager to devour anything new she releases, so “Found” was a no brainer. It was tense and suspenseful and ended in an uplifting and hopeful way, which pretty much sums up Lonsdale’s writing. Although this is the end of “Everything”, I look forward to her future work.

Ten years ago, I read a debut novel that blew me away. That book was titled Everything We Keep, and was followed by two sequels which were also fantastic. Eight years since the third book, author Kerry Lonsdale has gifted readers with the finale, Everything We Found, a book I didn’t realize I needed until I read it. Part thriller, part romance, part action, part family drama—told with strong emotions at every turn. Thomas and Nadia are complex and fantastic characters, struggling with feelings for each other and with guilt from their pasts, all while trying to save their own lives. I highly recommend you read the other books on this series first, so that you will really know all the characters and everything they’ve been through over the course of ten years. The author does give enough back story that it could be a standalone, but trust me, you want to read them all! I received an advance reader copy of this book.

In Everything We Found, I found gripping suspense, tried and true friendships and satisfying romance. I also found storytelling that kept me engaged and turning the pages.
This was a very emotional read for me as I attached quickly to many of the characters. I gasped and worried when they were in danger. True, sacrificial and intimate friendships were the backbone for this story.
This book gave me an intimate look as to how some people in really tough situations are forced to make difficult decisions with rippling consequences. I truly loved how paths were opened up for these same people to reconcile, receive forgiveness and unpack their burdens. The core characters had really earned some happiness.
The firestorms of life, meant to break them, forged even tighter, stronger and healthier bonds between a very special group of friends. So, so satisfying.

Everything We Found is a wonderful conclusion to the Everything series. Readers finally get the story of Thomas and Nadia, two characters who previously played smaller roles but are brought beautifully to the forefront here. The seamless weaving of their past and present creates an engaging and emotionally rich narrative while still delivering the action and drama that fans of the series have come to expect.
From the very first pages, the story draws you in, and as it unfolds, you gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities, strengths, and vulnerabilities of both characters. Having followed this series over the past decade, I especially enjoyed the references to earlier books, which added a nostalgic touch and rewarded longtime readers.
This is a satisfying and heartfelt finale that is well worth reading. Highly recommended!

4.5 rounded up
This is my 2nd Kerry Lonsdale book, and I am definitely a fan. This one happens to be the 4th in her "Everything" series, but it can be read as a standalone. That is what I did, but I'll be going back to read the previous books.
A long-buried secret to protect his family has alienated Thomas Donato from his friends and the woman he's always loved. Nadia Jacobs now leads a successful life and has left her troubled past behind her, but she's built a wall to keep anyone from getting too close, Thomas is the reason why. But when the past comes crashing back, Nadia must make a decision: her friends or the man that has her heart since she was a teen. As things get more dangerous and the cartel closes in, the decision is made for her. They are both forced to run. But how can they outrun the cartel who has people on the inside everywhere? Who can they trust? Will they be able to confront their long hindered feelings for eachother, while on the run or will that put them in further jeopardy? As the cartel closes in bith are forced to make the ultimate decision between life and death.
Wow! This book was seriously intense! There was heart-pounding suspense, action, danger, lies, secrets, and betrayals. I really couldn't put this one down. There was so much family drama, and Thomas made so many sacrifices for others. Not going to lie, Nadia annoyed me a bit, and there were parts I just wanted to strangle her, lol😂. But their romance was sweet and steamy! I loved their second chance and the shifting timelines of how it all started. This was a truly captivating, gripping, immersive romantic suspense that kept me on the edge and completely invested. I really enjoyed this one and highly recommend adding it to your TBR🩷

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the advance audiobook copy in exchange for an honest review.
I had a good time with Everything We Found. It’s a nice blend of romantic suspense, mystery, and family drama, with plenty of twists that kept me wanting to see how everything would play out.
Even though this is the fourth book in the series, I didn’t have too much trouble following along. It was obvious there was a lot of history between the characters, and I’m sure I missed some of the smaller details, but the story gives you enough context to stay invested. That said, I do think reading the earlier books first would make the emotional moments hit even harder.
The first part of the book takes its time setting everything up, but once the secrets start coming out, I was hooked. I really liked watching all the different pieces come together, and there were a few moments that genuinely surprised me.
The audiobook was also well done. The narration fit the tone of the story and made it easy to stay immersed, especially during the more suspenseful scenes.
Overall, this was a solid 4-star read for me. If you enjoy books that mix romance with mystery and family secrets, this one is definitely worth picking up. It’s also convinced me that I need to go back and read the first three books.

“Good reason never to remarry. Can’t put a ring on it.“
“The villain is by far the most interesting character.“
Thanks so much to @bookouture and @kerrylonsdale for my gifted copy of this one in exchange for my honest thoughts.
So with Kerry’s books I always go in blind because her books are far better than any synopsis can describe…it’s just a fact. I went into this one blind and didn’t realize it was a series until I was almost 100 pages in…it didn’t matter though I still enjoyed the book. Though I think reading them in order would make me love the characters THAT much more. The characters were great in this book and so tightknit.
The cartel is a huge part of this book but so is found family, love, redemption and forgiveness. So while there’s definitely some bloodshed it’s in equal measure with the positive pieces of the story for a well-balanced book.
Kerry writes with heart AND grit which I doubt is easy to do but she wrote this book in 4 months!!! So I think it’s safe to say she has a knack for it.
I def recommend this. I finished it in a few hours.
QOTD: What’s the last book you finished in a single day?

Review of advance copy received from Author
Everything we found the book I have waited an age to read.
The fourth in the everything series where we finally get Thomas’s story
I loved this one as much as I loved the first three books in this series despite the 10 year gap between writing this one and the first one the writing was perfect. It drew together everything we found out from previous books and brought them to a conclusion at last.
In the previous books, we have had Aimee’s story. We have had James’s story and we’ve had Ian’s story. The one story we hadn’t had with Thomases.
It was the decisions that Thomas made all those years ago that brought about the events in the first three books and it was finally time to find out why and what made Thomas do the things he did
In this story, we also meet Nadia best friend to Aimee, who we find has kept a secret from Aimee, for all these years. She knew the night before James‘s funeral that James was not dead. This is a secret that she has felt guilty for for many years several times she wanted to tell the truth but she was too scared of the fallout so kept it to herself
When Nadia and Thomas meet to discuss Thomas’s renovation plans, Nadia is suddenly drawn back into the past when gunshots are fired and the two find themselves on the run.
Interwoven with chapters from the past we find out what led to the decisions that were made and we find out what has brought us to this time
I absolutely adore Kerry’s writing style and the way she brings the characters to life. You can’t help but feel like they are friends and you are part of their story.
I could barely put this book down I wanted to keep on reading. I needed to find the answers. I am over the moon with how well this book was written and how I finally feel that this series has come to a conclusion.
Thank you to Kerry , her publisher, the rest of team Kerry and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book. I highly recommend this everything series.

I absolutely loved Everything We Found! From the very first chapter, I was pulled into the story and found myself completely invested in the characters and their journeys. Lonsdale has a talent for creating emotional, realistic relationships that make you feel like you're right there alongside them.
What I enjoyed most was the balance between mystery, family dynamics, and heartfelt moments. Just when I thought I had things figured out, the story surprised me with new twists and revelations. The pacing kept me turning pages late into the night because I had to know what would happen next.
The characters were wonderfully developed, flawed, and relatable. Their struggles, resilience, and growth felt authentic, and I found myself rooting for them every step of the way. The emotional depth of the story added so much meaning beyond the suspenseful plot.
While this is the 4th book in the Everything series, it can be easily read as a standalone, but why would you want to skip the first 3?
Overall, Everything We Found is an unforgettable read filled with emotion, hope, secrets, and unexpected discoveries. If you enjoy compelling family dramas with a touch of mystery and romance, I highly recommend this book.

Kerry Lonsdale has once again delivered the kind of story that completely pulls you in and makes it nearly impossible to put the book down. Everything We Found is an emotional, twisty read filled with secrets, complicated relationships, and the kind of discoveries that make you question what you think you know.
I loved the way the story slowly unfolded. Just when I thought I had things figured out, another layer was revealed, keeping me guessing until the very end. Lonsdale does such a great job creating characters who feel real and flawed, making it easy to become invested in what happens to them.
There are plenty of emotional moments, unexpected turns, and secrets that kept me turning the pages. I especially enjoyed the themes of love, family, trust, and how the choices we make can follow us long after we think we’ve moved on.
If you enjoy emotional family dramas, complicated relationships, buried secrets, and plenty of twists, I definitely recommend adding Everything We Found to your TBR.
Another great read from Kerry Lonsdale! ❤️📚

There are plenty of emotional moments, unexpected turns, and secrets that kept me turning the pages. I especially enjoyed the themes of love, family, trust, and how the choices we make can follow us long after we think we’ve moved on.
If you enjoy emotional family dramas, complicated relationships, buried secrets, and plenty of twists, I definitely recommend adding Everything We Found to your TBR.
Another great read from Kerry Lonsdale! ❤️📚

Everything We Found is the fourth book in an interconnected series. This is Thomas’s and Nadia’s story. It does feel a little like you’re dropped into the story from the other books. So I would definitely want to read them and come back to this one again. I love Kerry’s writing and have no doubt the other three in the series will be great.
Thomas and Nadia are both strong characters. Thomas had to make some hard decisions and it’s left him alone. Nadia keeps her distance from everyone as best she can to protect them from the secret he’s kept. They are supposed to be together. However, they both can’t help the chemistry between them. Will this be their second chance?
Max Meyers and Kelsey Navarro Foster do an amazing job of portraying the darker side of Nadia’s and Thomas’s story. But also their strength. The suspense they both build made it so good. I can’t wait to listen to more from them both.

I requested this audiobook not knowing that it’s some very well anticipated surprise addition to a big series.
Although the author did a good job of including slight backstories it’s not as easy to love a story when it’s been so loved through the books itself 🫣 sadly I think I would have loved this a lot more if I’d read the older books in the series.. but I didn’t know it was the last in a series 🫢
But it’s still a definite lush read!!
I loved the characters in this, the backstory to all the characters including side characters was so dramatic & I loved it. I love the anticipation, the sneaky secrets. It’s definitely made me want to read deeper into the side characters 👀 it’s a really angsty love story. Very easy to listen to as an audiobook, had it on in the car & in the background & I never got bored even with the long chapters!

I love a good romantic suspense. As soon as I read the blurb for this one, I knew I had to read it. I’m really glad I did. I love a good second chance romance, especially childhood friends to lovers. But this book was so much more than the romance. Thomas and Nadia are running from their lives from a Mexican cartel. Boy did that suck me in. I expected an HEA but I desperately needed to know how they were going to get there considering the danger they faced.
I enjoyed the dual narration in this one. I listened in barely more than a day. Kelsey and Max do a great job portraying Nadia and Thomas.
This is technically part of a series, but I haven’t read any of the others and it can definitely be read as a standalone. I will definitely be picking up more of Kerry’s books, including the other books in this series.

Everything We Found - Audio
By Kerry Lonsdale
Narrated by Kelsey Navarro- Foster & Max Meyers
A mind bending thriller fueled with complicated family dynamics and lifelong friendships compromised by life altering sacrifices. This story explores the true meaning behind loyalty.
While I felt this was an enthralling idea, it didn’t ultimately live upto its potential.
I thought the timelines were sometimes confusing, especially via audio and the character development could have been stronger. I also think writing the story in first person with alternating POV’s would have made this story more engaging and cohesive.
Favorite Quote: “Some forces weren’t chosen, they chose you. And all you could do is stop pretending and start surrendering.”
Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for providing me with an Advanced Listening Copy of this audiobook in exchange for a review.

I read the first 2 books of this series almost 10 years ago and accidentally missed the 3rd and went straight to the final installment, Everythjng We Found. I honestly have forgotten the backstory and did not have a difficult time following Nadia & Thomas' story.
This is a second chance romance that is fast paced and action paced. Thomas basically had a savior complex and had turned away from loving Nadia all these years to keep her safe.
I love how the past of both of their lives were revealed and how the present, they realized they were meant to be.
I always enjoy a dual POV and enjoyed the narration by
Max Meyers and Kelsey Navarro Foster. I felt the tension and stress as they are on the run.

I was lucky to get an advance copy of this book through Net Galley. I had wondered for years why so many characters got their own story, but never Thomas and Nadia. The twists and turns were aways a surprise, and I can usually foresee that sort of thing. That made reading so much more fun! The slow burn between the main characters had me wondering if if was only a tease or if they'd ever give in. I was on the edge of my seat throughout most of the book. The characters are believable and well-drawn. A beautiful and satisfying wind-up to the series. Brava, Ms. Lonsdale, you've done it again!

📖This is a redemption story for Thomas Donato. He has made many questionable choices in his life, many that others did not agree with. But when he decides to hire an old friend, Nadia Jacobs, to help him with a remodel of a room at his house… his past choices come back to haunt him. What started as a quick visit for Nadia, turned into a shoot out of Thomas’s home and both of them having to leave and go into hiding… so many secrets of the past start to unravel, and Nadia isn’t sure she can let the past go. But she also isn’t sure she can keep holding on either.
📝Everything We Found was such a great read. I devoured it at the beach last week and reading it made me want to go back and read books 1-3. However, you can read this one completely as a standalone! Thomas has come such a long way, and I did want to still dislike him, but that became impossible. The tension between the two of them was great and I can’t wait to see what Kerry comes out with next.

Wow!! The book in this series I didn’t know I needed!! I have loved this series from the very beginning and this book did not disappoint! Kerry’s writing always brings me so much joy and I feel like I truly know these characters. We have been with them for so long. I could not put this book down just like the previous books in the series. I definitely recommend this series and all of Kerry’s books to everyone I know!

Great read! Couldn't put down!
This book has all the " feels"!
Highly recommend... Easily read as a stand alone, but there are 3 books written several yrs ago.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
4.5/5
So, fans of Kerry Lonsdale (me included) all thought Everything We Give (Everything #3) was the last book in this series but lo and behold, she surprised us with a fourth book in the series. I would say a lot of us are very happy that she did. In Everything We Found, we get Thomas Donato's story of what occurred with his brother James and the secret he has kept from family and friends for many years. Except for Nadia Jacobs who knows and has kept this secret to herself, a secret that if the truth got out, would cause deep pain to many and possibly end close friendships. The story starts off with a bang and finds Thomas and Nadia on the run after Thomas' life is threatened and they are both shot at and almost killed in Thomas' home. Unfortunately for Nadia, she was in the wrong place at the wrong time and unwillingly ends up on the run with Thomas. The book is very fast-paced and engaging, although there are some parts that do move a bit slower, but it certainly picks up again towards the heart-pounding end.
Everything We Found is a compelling read filled with mystery and romance. A book about family, secrets, trust, and friendship. I thoroughly enjoyed this final (maybe?) book in the Everything series. This can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly recommend reading the series from the beginning. You won't regret it.

Everything We Found is the fourth book in Kerry Lonsdale's "Found" series.
Wow, what an amazing, adventure-filled story!
Nadia Jacobs and Thomas Donato are on the run for their life, the Hildago cartel is after them for revenge, and after all of Thomas's family in fact.
Compromised by his closest FBI contact, Thomas isn't sure who to trust. Will they make it out of this alive?
Along the way, Nadia and Thomas both finally admit to being in love with each other (since they were teenagers!)
A sweet romance in addition to all the adrenaline of the the chase, this book has a little bit of everything. I highly recommend this book, but be sure to read the first three books in this series first, it's not really required, but it helps knowing all the back story between these characters and their family and friends.

What a way to close out a series! 👏🏼
Before I started this, I wasn't sure that we needed Thomas's story, but now I see that we absolutely did.
This was fast paced and full of action. It took off from the very beginning and really didn't let up. I loved the mix of past and present and seeing all aspects of Nadia and Thomas's relationship.
The epilogues left my heart happy. It truly was a perfect way to end out this series.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Author Kerry Lonsdale's Everything Series actually launched her publishing career. The first volume, Everything We Keep, was released in 2016, and focuses on Aimee, who is initially a very naïve, happy young woman forced to deal with an unspeakable tragedy and, in the aftermath, “find herself,” according to Lonsdale. It was followed the following year by Everything We Leave Behind in which Lonsdale relates what happened to James Donato, Aimee’s fiancée. Everything We Give was published in 2018. Ian, who becomes prominent in Aimee’s life, is in the spotlight.
The fourth and final installment, Everything We Found, opens with Nadia Jacobs deciding she will accept Thomas Donato’s invitation to meet him at his home to discuss another architectural project he is contemplating. The proposed meeting is fraught with myriad emotions and apprehension since Nadia knows her best friend, Aimee, will again see Nadia’s contact with Thomas as a betrayal of their friendship. Nadia has been wracked with guilt for years since Thomas forced her – in the interest of safety – to keep a terrible secret from Aimee. And Nadia knows that if Aimee ever learns about Nadia’s collusion with Thomas, their friendship will, irrespective of the underlying good intentions, irrevocably implode. And that’s a consequence Nadia simply would not be able to live with.
Thomas does not know when, where or how. But he knows the danger that has followed him for years will materialize, and he will again have to defend himself and those he loves. Because cartel members never forget and never forgive. They always seek retribution. Deadly retribution. And the Hidalgo Cartel has unresolved business with the Donatos.
Londsdale says that before writing Everything We Found, she reread the first three volumes in the series to refresh her own recollection. That effort plainly paid off because her narrative flows seamlessly between the present-day and events that occurred during and prior to the time periods covered in the first three books. The book opens with a Prologue that reminds readers of the promise Thomas extracted from Nadia, as well as why it was inarguably necessary that she go along with his plan. From there, the story takes off at a brisk and ever-escalating pace that never falters or lags – aside from brief expository respites from the dramatic tension — until the story’s emotional and fully satisfying conclusion.
Readers might be surprised to know that Lonsdale did not set out to write a series. But the response to Everything We Keep was very strong, with readers clamoring for more volumes, in part because the fate of James Donato, Thomas’ brother, was not revealed. Still, after completing the next two installments, she moved on and wrote more stand-alone novels, even though she felt, as did readers, that her characters’ stories were not yet finished. But at that time, “Thomas was silent,” she recalls. B
Around 2022, Thomas began “to speak” to Lonsdale, wanting her to tell his side of the story. Thomas was largely perceived as the villain in the story. So in Everything We Found, Lonsdale returns the narrative focus to the Donato family. “Every villain has their back story or their own reasons, their own motivations for why they acted the way they did,” Lonsdale observes. “The cartel is after him, the woman that he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about gets caught in the crossfire, and they’re both on the run.”
Everything We Found is an unabashed thriller in which Thomas and Nadia are literally fighting to stay alive. Lonsdale did extensive research on cartels in order to make the story believably realistic. Some of the shockingly brutal events depicted are based on actual incidents, although the narrative is neither gory nor blood-soaked.
Thomas has always been very mature and self-aware. From a young age, he understood that his family was both dysfunctional and unusual, and he became his brother’s protector from their abusive father. Lonsdale reveals his early relationship with Nadia and how they became extremely close as teenagers. Nadia’s family was equally broken in different ways. Her father abandoned her and her mother, and her mother was flailing. She was oblivious to Nadia’s pain and need for parenting as the unpaid bills mounted and their house teetered on the verge of foreclosure. In Thomas, she found a confidante, loyal friend, and, eventually, her feelings for him deepened.
As a young man, Thomas chose to make deals and abandon his own goals in order to keep his loved ones safe and, hopefully, happily unaware of his well-meaning machinations. Was he motivated by a savior complex, deriving his own self-worth from being needed by others, or were his motives altruistic? Or perhaps a blend of both? Lonsdale explores the behaviors that others saw as villainous from Thomas’s perspective, revealing the circumstances in which he found himself and why he believed that the choices available to him were limited. But now he is forty-two years old, and the repercussions of and reverberations from his earlier decisions are manifesting and forcing him to take action that will resolve his past once and for all, one way or another. Meaning, with him surviving or perishing.
Nadia finds herself at his side, unwillingly at first. She is initially unable to grasp the gravity of the situation. She is understandably angry that it was Thomas’s actions that now threaten the life and career she has built for herself. (Although she could have refused to meet with him, of course.) Gradually, though, she has to accept that it is indeed her life itself that is at stake. Is trusting Thomas the most prudent approach? Or is striking out on her own more likely to ensure she can escape the cartel’s wrath? After all, she is – yet again – collaterally damaged by the choices and actions of others. But does that even matter?
The foremost consideration for both Thomas and Nadia is how best to protect James, Aimee, and their families.
As they calculate the odds, devise what is hopefully the best strategy to stay alive while protecting the others, and come to grips with their complicated history, will Thomas and Nadia decide that they finally want to be together? That central question helps propel Lonsdale’s compelling narrative toward a powerfully dramatic resolution.
It’s impossible to imagine a more fitting conclusion to Lonsdale’s saga. Everything We Found is simply that well-conceptualized and executed. It is a perfect blend of action and romance, a riveting story about coming to terms with one’s past, redemption, and forgiveness. It’s a tale full of surprising revelations, twists, and unrequited, complicated, but true, deep love. Readers can decide for themselves whether Thomas is really a villain or a hero. Or, perhaps, simply a flawed human being who did the best he could when confronted with overwhelmingly daunting choices.

The ending we may not have realized we needed to the Everything series! 10 years ago in Kerry’s debut, meant to be a standalone, Everything We Keep, we were introduced to the Donato family & Aimee’s story which ended in a cliff-hanger that led to Everything We Left Behind (James’ story) & Everything We Give (Ian’s story).
In this 4th book, we have Thomas’ story. Is he the villain we believe he is from the earlier books? Kerry weaves in past parts of the first 3 books to tell us Thomas’ side, his thoughts, his motivations. We, also, see more of Nadia, Aimee’s best friend, & her closeness over the years to Thomas. Add in the family drama, suspense, & romance & you have this masterly crafted page-turner. This could be a standalone book but for fuller experience read the entire Everything series.

4.5 stars catching up on GR reviews. What an unexpected surprise another book in this series was, 8 years after the end! I forgot how much I use to enjoy this author. If you dig Catherine Cowles latest series, I think you’ll enjoy this completed 4 book series
Review of advance copy received from Author
Thomas Donato’s innermost thoughts: No, Thomas was not a good son.
My innermost thoughts: I beg to differ.
Everything We Found, the fourth and final book in author Kerry Lonsdale’s Everything Series, is the closure you didn’t know you needed. The author has strongly recommended that the first three books in the series be read before this one to get the full story, and she is right. It’s also true, though, that each book is a full, complete and satisfying story on its own: Everything We Keep is stunningly surprising; Everything We Left Behind is heartbreakingly poignant; Everything We Give is revelatory, clarifying and sad; and this book, Everything We Found, is explosive, achingly romantic, heart stoppingly suspenseful and dangerous, and so unpredictable it is impossible to envision next steps or the ending. But Everything We Found is the best, because it fills in the gaps, gives us the history with all the backstories and changes our set view of so many people and events. And it gives us a
Thomas Donato we’ve never seen before; the almost unbearable burden of guilt and regret is still heavy on his shoulders, but, particularly in Nadia’s presence, he also seems younger, fit, handsome, emotional, and passionate. Not words we would have used to describe him in the first three books. And the Nadia who slowly awakens and comes to life is not the often closed-off, all-businesswoman with the sad past; she is alive and exhilarating when she is with Thomas. When she’s not mad or scared out of her wits, that is.
Because I agree with author Lonsdale and also want you to read the entire series, I won’t go into too much detail in this review that would spoil the joy of discovering every large and small fact on your own. Everything We Found brings into focus things that were glossed over or only hinted at in the past. The ever-present danger and complex reasons for it are brought into the light. Encounters with family, friends and enemies are dynamic and even shocking. The fast pace keeps you on edge the entire time; you expect the worst but you are still started and afraid when it happens, and happens again, and again. You wonder how there can be anything remotely resembling a happy ending. Lonsdale’s books always have amazing twists and big reveals, swinging your emotions all over the place, sometime even almost mystical – and it always, always works.
I have had a love/hate relationship with a prominent character throughout the series. In Everything We Found it moved from love/hate to hate/love, and briefly flirted with just hate. Rereading the first three books and then reading Everything We Found reinforced what a truly talented, extraordinary writer Lonsdale is . . . and validated my initial thoughts and feelings about that specific character. Lonsdale is remarkably consistent with the personalities and behavior of her characters and has been from the start; what and who they are at their core when you first meet them is what and who they are when the series wraps up, even if circumstances changed or some traits were not always obvious. The story just flows with no wasted words.
I received advance reading and listening copies of Everything We Found from the author as part of her review team via NetGalley. The audiobook is narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster and Max Meyers, and the characters that are already jumping off the page are now up close and real in your ears. Meyers’ performance for Thomas and the other male characters is just right: soft, slow, poignant, reflective, forceful, overwhelmed; he is very clear and precise, setting the perfect pace and displaying just the right amount of emotion. Foster is equally outstanding: crisp, clear, afraid but trying desperately not to show it, overcome with emotion and feelings for Thomas and trying desperately not to show that, either. A great read and a great listen; a story I recommend without hesitation. I also again recommend reading the entire series and everything else this unparalleled author has written. I voluntarily leave this review; all opinions are my own.
My innermost thoughts: I beg to differ.
Everything We Found, the fourth and final book in author Kerry Lonsdale’s Everything Series, is the closure you didn’t know you needed. The author has strongly recommended that the first three books in the series be read before this one to get the full story, and she is right. It’s also true, though, that each book is a full, complete and satisfying story on its own: Everything We Keep is stunningly surprising; Everything We Left Behind is heartbreakingly poignant; Everything We Give is revelatory, clarifying and sad; and this book, Everything We Found, is explosive, achingly romantic, heart stoppingly suspenseful and dangerous, and so unpredictable it is impossible to envision next steps or the ending. But Everything We Found is the best, because it fills in the gaps, gives us the history with all the backstories and changes our set view of so many people and events. And it gives us a
Thomas Donato we’ve never seen before; the almost unbearable burden of guilt and regret is still heavy on his shoulders, but, particularly in Nadia’s presence, he also seems younger, fit, handsome, emotional, and passionate. Not words we would have used to describe him in the first three books. And the Nadia who slowly awakens and comes to life is not the often closed-off, all-businesswoman with the sad past; she is alive and exhilarating when she is with Thomas. When she’s not mad or scared out of her wits, that is.
Because I agree with author Lonsdale and also want you to read the entire series, I won’t go into too much detail in this review that would spoil the joy of discovering every large and small fact on your own. Everything We Found brings into focus things that were glossed over or only hinted at in the past. The ever-present danger and complex reasons for it are brought into the light. Encounters with family, friends and enemies are dynamic and even shocking. The fast pace keeps you on edge the entire time; you expect the worst but you are still started and afraid when it happens, and happens again, and again. You wonder how there can be anything remotely resembling a happy ending. Lonsdale’s books always have amazing twists and big reveals, swinging your emotions all over the place, sometime even almost mystical – and it always, always works.
I have had a love/hate relationship with a prominent character throughout the series. In Everything We Found it moved from love/hate to hate/love, and briefly flirted with just hate. Rereading the first three books and then reading Everything We Found reinforced what a truly talented, extraordinary writer Lonsdale is . . . and validated my initial thoughts and feelings about that specific character. Lonsdale is remarkably consistent with the personalities and behavior of her characters and has been from the start; what and who they are at their core when you first meet them is what and who they are when the series wraps up, even if circumstances changed or some traits were not always obvious. The story just flows with no wasted words.
I received advance reading and listening copies of Everything We Found from the author as part of her review team via NetGalley. The audiobook is narrated by Kelsey Navarro Foster and Max Meyers, and the characters that are already jumping off the page are now up close and real in your ears. Meyers’ performance for Thomas and the other male characters is just right: soft, slow, poignant, reflective, forceful, overwhelmed; he is very clear and precise, setting the perfect pace and displaying just the right amount of emotion. Foster is equally outstanding: crisp, clear, afraid but trying desperately not to show it, overcome with emotion and feelings for Thomas and trying desperately not to show that, either. A great read and a great listen; a story I recommend without hesitation. I also again recommend reading the entire series and everything else this unparalleled author has written.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
Thank You so much NetGalley for an ALC, of this conclusion from the (Everything Series) from 2018, that it seems readers thought concluded, I felt a bit overwhelmed in not really knowing the buildup from the prior three books within this series.
This story starts emotional for Thomas & James Donato. Starts with Thomas stating that their father was abusive & passed away a year earlier. Thomas wants to buy people's silence & fakes James’s death, cooperating with the DEA. James was recovering from an assassination & now they are calling him Carlos to give him a new life. Thomas turns around & Nadia Jacobs hears everything that Thomas says on the phone (10 years ago), faking James’s death & changing his identity. Poor Amy, James (Ex-Fiancé) & Nadia’s best friend hates Thomas for faking James’s death 2 months before their wedding & finding out 2 years later, that he had to hide him for his safety. This is the 4th installment in the series, which focuses on Thomas and Nadia, as they hide from drug cartels and try to save their loved ones.
Throughout the story Thomas & Nadia tries to keep Nadia safe from snippers & the Mexican Cartel trying to kill them. Kane Mitchell from the DEA tells Thomas that Ruiz escapes & coming for him. But now Thomas & Nadia are on the run in a safe house. Using burner phones, Thomas tries to contact James/Carlos again in four years to warn him about Fernando Ruiz. Thomas finally tells his mother Claire that he had to fake his death & to please leave him alone, but Claire, did not listen & wanted to see James/Carlos. Thomas’ father Edgar was all behind the involvement of the Mexican Cartel coming after his family, in how he ran the Donato Enterprises. His older brother Phil ignores Thomas too. Honestly for me this story dragged a bit for me, jumping back & forth from a decade ago & the present time. Kane Mitchell tell Thomas that the (Hidalgo’s) killed Phil & tied him to a tree & cut his hands & feet & cut an (H) on his chest & then shot him in the head. Thomas’ mother Claire also is taken by the cartel. Is Kane Mitchell (DEA) dirty & a snitch, since people keep finding Thomas & Nadia safe houses? Cami tells both Nadia & Thomas that they are going into witness protection. This story tells us that Nadia has a longing for Thomas from a decade ago. Almost 60% into this storyline, Thomas & Nadia sleep together, & Thomas tells her that he has loved her since she was 13 years old. This entire storyline for me was just a bit too messy & all the back & forth with all characters was just too frustrating for me. I honestly did not get the entire premise of the book. Towards the almost end, Nadia is going to find Thomas, makes zero sense, she drives over 6 hours to try to tell (U.S. Marshal) Nelson & James that Thomas will risk his life in exchange for his mother Claire. It is so far-fetched that Nadia’s presence will save Thomas after all these years. His father tipped the FBI & brought down the entire Mexican Cartel Operation. The final ending is that Nadia & Thomas are together & Thomas gives her a promise ring, that he will never leave her or tell her lies again, Etc.

Unexpected And Excellent Conclusion To A Series Thought To Have Already Concluded. Years ago now, in the period when I began ramping up my reading but before I had actually created my book blog, BookAnon dot com, I read Lonsdale's excellent Everything trilogy. The mystery, the romance, everything about this trilogy... I never realized it had been her very *first* three books, as they were, well, everywhere back then - at least in my own circles. I became a fan, and I've had the honor of working very nearly every book since this trilogy as an Advance Reader Copy, including this one.
But y'all, a decade of *my* reading is a *LOT* of books - over 1,800 and counting, to be at least in the ballpark. So I for one was very glad that this was written as a "standalone" with enough (relevant) details from the prior stories to be able to walk into this story with little difficulty, even with the prior books *that* far back in both years and books.
Still, to get the true full impact and experience, I absolutely recommend reading the other three books first, and then coming to this one... at least in part because this one spins the other three completely on their heads, and to get that full effect, you really need to read those books first. At which point you'll be fully primed for the massive cranial infarctions you're about to have with this one. ;)
Lonsdale has clearly evolved in the intervening years. The trials and tribulations she has publicly spoken of have tested her in ways fortunately few of us can truly imagine, though in some ways that unfortunately far too many are far too familiar with. Her storytelling, both the stories and how she writes them, has clearly evolved and become that much stronger. Maybe I'm reading a bit into this text, but I think at least some of this comes through here with an added depth that as good as the first three books were - and they truly were phenomenal - I really do think this added depth of personal experience and experience as a writer seeps through into this text and helps elevate this particular story that much more.
The original Everything trilogy was already *right* up there among truly the strongest I've ever read, even though I generally don't mention it as much all these years later. (Though I did when they were more recent and I was a less experienced book blogger who hadn't read near the volume I have now.)
This entry? Truly takes it to an entirely new level. Lonsdale doesn't miss a single step and in fact shows that experience does indeed have benefits, and it really does show here.
Read the original trilogy first, if you haven't yet.
Then read this one and prepare to have your mind blown.
And for those who *have* read the original trilogy, even when it was first published all those years ago... step right back in. There is more than enough here to bring you up to speed again rapidly, and if you thought what you already read was good, well, you aint seen nothing yet.
Very much recommended.
