The Wife Stalker alternates between the perspective of the two women in Leo Drakos and his children's life. Complex female characters, unreliable narrators, dark secrets, and twisting plot.

I didn't loathe The Last Mrs. Parrish and wanted to see if Constantine didn't rely on female characters being women-hating and just total caricatures, so I picked a random audiobook that was immediately available on Libby.
While I struggled through a chunk of the story, the TWIST of the last few chapters completely pulled me in. I did *not* expect Joanna to be the villain here! And a total liar! Constantine did such a great job painting her as the jilted mother, pushed to the side by a shiny new woman.
I loved that Piper's backstory made it seem like she was the true villain here. I was so convinced she was scheming to do something dastardly. That said, her health consciousness and pushing the kids into her healthy lifestyle grated me. It seemed pushy. And what gives with Stelli's constant health issues? I feel like that was tied to Piper but never resolved.
Regardless of the above, this was definitely an enjoyable read (aka listen

The Wife Stalker by Liv Constantine was a very enjoyable read and it kept me guessing throughout the story. I'm a huge fan of the authors and was very excited to read this ARC. I found the storyline at times to be a bit confusing but was able to flip back and figure out what was going on. The huge twist at the end was extremely shocking and I loved it, I definitely had not guessed the outcome and it was very well done.
Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC.

Liv Constantine is an auto buy for me. These two write a wonderful thriller. In this one I never saw the ending coming. Which is exactly what I want in a thriller. I love that the chapters are different points of view as well as short. The authors take you on a wild ride with a privileged family and a woman that won’t give up being a mother. This novel has you questioning everything. Another winner from this dynamic duo.
Not what I was expecting at all! Quick read with some fun and twisty turns. Not too scary - but keeps you guessing.
I was following, I was following, I was following, then, I totally got confused.
OK, so I don't know what the husband was initially suffering from, but she was handling him with kid gloves. Phuck That! lol - You know a book is good when you get pissed off.
The Therapist clearly needs to first go back to therapy school and then sign up for AP honors hands-on compassion classes.
Piper - what a name - why are you hiding - why didn't you ever go back home?
That little boy, little thief. lol
Why are men so blind?
Oh yeah, I'm sorry, why are we going to Main in the winter again?
I totally enjoyed this book.
PLEASE, don't ask me how it ended. I think the teddy bear died, jumping over the fence at the plane hanger, lol. Yeah, that's not even in the book. I was just confused at the end. It may be me, not necessarily the writers. I gave it only 4 stars because I was confused at the end.
