3.6 AVERAGE


Nothing less than suspenseful and addictive thriller with the author’s mark of unpredictable ending. Didn’t see that coming at all, I really thought it will end differently.
Another must read story from a must read author.

You never know what you’re going to get with Kiersten Modglin. This time I got a quick and easy read, even a bit funny sometimes. It’s not very deep or dark so it’s perfect for a rainy afternoon or a lazy day on the porch!

It’s not the first time Edith’s husband, Joe, has lied to her.
But it will be the last.

I’m on a roll … this latest novel by KMod
Is just brilliant! I devoured this in a day.

Fast paced and twisty! This one will keep you on the edge of your seat!
It has the author’s signature twists and turns that will keep you guessing through out the novel. If you’re anything like me, I become an amateur sleuth!

This was a short, fast paced thriller that kept me hooked. It was pretty predictable throughout, but the ending was fulfilling. I enjoyed the fact that there were strong female characters - that is so rare in a thriller. This isn't the one for someone looking for a deep, psychological thriller with twists and turns, but it is a fun little journey that leaves you rooting for a character throughout.

 Another fast-paced, quick read, from Kiersten Modglin! I love so many of her books because they usually grab you from the start and they don't let go until the twisty end. Short chapters that make it easy to say, "Just one more..." until the next thing you know, you've finished it because you can't stop turning pages to find out what happens next. This book was no exception. Not quite as jaw dropping as some of her other books, but definitely a twisted little tale!

I read the kindle version, as well as listened to the audiobook. I loved the narrator on the audiobook. Her accent was great! Definitely a thriller to curl up with and get lost in!

Edith is Joe’s second wife. Their marriage isn’t perfect and he’s shown his true colors by having an affair before, but she stayed - out of loyalty? out of hope he could change? out of fear? So when Edith begins to find hints his behavior is repeating itself, or never stopped at all, Edith becomes obsessed with finding out the truth at all costs. Once a cheater always a cheater, right?

I flew through this one in a few days. It was easy to follow from one POV with minimal characters and scenes and a short, linear timeline. I enjoyed the narrator’s accent. However, it was unrealistic and nothing special.. just a short story about a poor mentally damaged wife that decides to stay on the sinking ship of an abusive marriage to a cheating dirtbag. I think I am beginning to realize domestic suspense is not really my thing. This is my first Kiersten Modglin and I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about her novels so I’ll still give some of her other works a shot but this one just missed the mark for me.

Thank you to NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and the author for an advance listener’s copy in exchange for an honest review! -@tirwinreads
