Whoa! Best kept secret until the end!!! Thrilling, gripping, totally entralled with the story going back and forth between two women's POV. Don't want to give any secrets away!

💥💥 What a ride!

I didn’t like a single character in this story! Shady, sinister, and seriously twisted… it is impossible to look away. One of the most calculating and despicable characters I’ve ever encountered made this story all the more riveting and intense.

This book is a wild, tense, edge-of-your-seat kind of read. And that twist close to the end! Wow, I did not see that one coming at all!

Also, the narration is top-tier. 👏🏻 Julia Whelan and Meghan Wolf brought this story to life!

💥💥 I’ll say it again, what a wild, twisted ride this book is! I raced to the end, as I needed answers, and could not get through it fast enough, and then the twist….speechless!

Fast-paced, this felt like watching a train wreak as you didn't know who to believe with the multiple povs. I didn't see the twist coming at the end at all. Though I found the writing style pretty mediocreand Repetitive. it was a good time.

The Wife Stalker sounded like a fun psychological mystery, and after The Last Mrs. Parrish, I had so much confidence in writing duo Liv Constantine's ability to execute it to perfection. Unfortunately, that was not the case. Where Mrs. Parrish was outlandish but almost believable in its characters' calculating personalities, The Wife Stalker was stretched so far from reality that I was waiting for it to turn into a fantasy novel.

For most of the book, my reaction was, "That would NEVER happen." I eventually had to suspend my judgments and trust that the big reveal in the end would explain the unbelievability away, which it did, but in a way that I felt was completely out of left field.

The writing was still good, and I thought the character development was pretty well done. This pair of authors certainly knows how to write conniving female characters. There were parts that I did enjoy in this book, but overall it missed the mark for me.
