This book had me at the edge the whole time. Definitely kept me entertained till the end. I was hoping for a different ending though or more shocking ending but it wasnt bad. I enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to someone who needs a fast read.

This book is a bit of a ride. And honestly kinda messed up. Like there’s some stuff I found a bit twisted. 

I went into this pretty blind and wasn’t expecting a book about polygamy (even though the book is called The Wives - plural - so I should have guessed). This book also took turns I didn’t expect either. I was definitely invested in this story, but I did have some suspicions, one of which I guessed correctly and one that didn’t turn out quite like I thought. Overall I was invested and it has some decent twists, but I didn’t like how this one made me feel. Like I said, pretty twisted and some parts just made me feel icky.

This book was incredible and I t had me guessing up until the very end. From beginning to end I was drawn into the story, and as soon as secrets started getting exposed I didn’t know who or what to believe. While the twist ending wasn’t a huge shock, I still enjoyed the book as a whole and I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for a quick mild thriller.

Meh. I didn't feel very compelled to figure out the answers or really connected to the characters. Not bad per se, but just not much that drew me.
