Dead To Her is my first experience with the author. I found the synopsis interesting and wanted to try some thrillers as I haven't been picking them up as of late. The story is a mystery, thriller and follows Marcie and Keisha. Marcie is the second wife of Jason Maddox. Her entry to the social circle was challenging and gaining acceptance from the other society wives was difficult. However, after some years, she has finally settled into the comfort of her position as Jason's wife. All sense of security is lost when her husband can't keep his eyes off his boss's new wife Keisha. She is beautiful, wild, and bold. Marcie is not going to let an interloper take away her hard-earned stability. The story overall was interesting. I enjoyed the mystery aspect of it. The who-dunnit style story had its positive moments. While there were twists and turns keeping the reader glued to the book, there were parts that were hard to wrap my head around. I felt the plot was all over the place and took a lot of time to get to the mystery part of it. The story went on too long with Marcie and Keisha's inner monologues, rants, and explicit scenes to get to the point of the story. The plot and pacing were erratic and felt unorganized to me. I didn't also expect it to be quite explicit in a lot of scenes. I guess not knowing about was quite a shock when the scenes happened. I wasn't expecting it. It also took up a lot of space in the story and to me, it didn't feel necessary to add them. The characters were what you would expect the stereotypical society ladies to behave. The social hierarchy, malice towards new members, conceited behavior is all on point. As I mentioned earlier, the whole story was a mix of things, while the plot twists kept on coming literally until the end and with an ending leaving you gobsmacked, the execution could have been better in my opinion. This book was not for me and I know a lot of people enjoyed the crazy ride this book takes you on, so it might be different for everyone. I personally didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. I thought the book was ok, and it had the potential to be really good. I gave the book 2.5 stars.
