Didnt even finish the book. Was less than halfway and was bored. I even went to the end to see what ended up happening which I never do and was shocked but not surprised.gif maybe I'll try again

wow, this was wild. definitely a compelling page-turner, even if it doesn't always seem logical or realistic. I'm more of a horror fan than a thriller fan, but I enjoyed this.

My Lovely Wife was such a fun read! This is a suspense novel about a serial killer couple, and it's a pretty grim and entertaining story. I don't want to go into much about it because I think it's more enjoyable to just see everything unravel.

I started this book in the middle of the night, and that was a huge mistake 😂. It was such an addicting read, and I read way more than the 1 or 2 chapters I had intended. Pick this one up if you're looking for a good suspense story! Thank you to Berkley Pub for sending me a copy to review!

I enjoyed getting into the mind of a villain who thinks he’s the good guy. Main issue is that the book took place over the course of maybe 3 months and Millicent’s hair started as chin length which had steadily gotten shorter over the course of their marriage and then was in a braid down her back and then cut to shoulder length. Otherwise, villainy all around and too simple of a wrap up.
