The Hunting Wives had a slow start as it really sets the tone for the plot twists and reveals towards the end. Backstabbing, snooty, and cold-blooded housewives are my shit but at the same time, this kind of character annoys the hell out of me lol Like I hate how they know they're doing something stupid and they know the consequences, but they still do it ?? And then go all BOO HOO WOE IS ME when the said consequence happens ??
It wasn't what I was expecting, but it was a fun ride getting albeit just an OKAY ending. The whole WHODUNIT mystery had me at the edge of my seat, not gonna lie. But the payoff was just not THAT satisfying to me.
Warning though: If you don't like reading about 30+ y/o ladies getting it on with 18 y/o (passed off as "legal" since the age of consent in that state is 17)
If you want to get through this book faster, listen to the audiobook!
Trigger/Content Warnings: cheating, adult/minor relationship, murder, forced abortion
