This was such a crazy listen. From beginning to end I was invested, I had to know what was going to happen. So many twists I didnโ€™t see coming. The narrators do a good job bringing these characters to life. Would definitely recommend if youโ€™re looking for a fast paced, psychological thriller with tuns of twist.

After Megan goes against his wishes and attends the interview, Craig decides that it is time to act. Locking her away in their home, Megan realises that her husband never had her best interests at heart, nor did they meet by accident.
Craig has been planning this from the start.
As Megan is kept shut away from the world with only somebody else's diary for company, she starts to uncover the lies, the secrets and the fact that she isn't actually Craig's first wife after all...

โ€œTill Death Do Us Apartโ€, by Daniel Hurst

This was my 3rd book by this author (2nd in a row).

Once again he was able to keep me entertained.

The storyline is developed by alternating POVโ€™s, between wife & husband. 
Both characters are shallow. 
The husband, Craig, is delusional and very easy to hate.
The writing was quite repetitive, but understandable, because the characters needed to stress over and over their deep feelings. But that made the reading a bit tiresome, hence my ratings.
Itโ€™s a weird relationship, taking in consideration the setting is in the modern time with all the technology that is available, but I guess that there are people like these in real life (or perhaps this is way over the top).
But then, when I wrote the lines above, I did not know what was behind everything.
Now, I do confess that I love books with unreliable narrators and for sure I do not mind despicable or unlikeable characters (itโ€™s all about the writing and storytelling), but if there is something that I find hard to forgive is when the author suddenly changes a character personally just to shock his/hers audience.
Although I kind of enjoyed this book, there is nothing extraordinary or different about it. This kind of plot has been done several times. Even the title is not that original.
Regardless, I was entertained, so I guess the author fulfilled one of his purposes.

Ebook (Kindle): 325 pages (default), 81 chapters!!!

Audiobook narrated by Gareth Bennett Ryan and Francesca Waite (5h40 min @normal speed)

PS. Thanks to the audiobook, which I listened simultaneously while reading the ebook, I learned the British pronunciation of โ€œgarageโ€. I did think that Iโ€™ve been doing wrong after all these years, but Iโ€™ve been using the American way.



Wow! This book was short but had so much packed into it. It had so many twists and when i thought i knew what was going on turns out i was wrong! I didnโ€™t love the ending but still liked how it was wrapped up. My first book by this author but not at all my last!

Super fun to read - I couldn't put it down. It's real dumb though - way over the top.
