Domestic thrillers are one of my go to sub genres, there is something completely fascinating about getting a glimpse into a couples marriage beyond what is seen in public There s a reason books featuring couples with secrets and betrayals is so huge right now, for me it s because I love the idea of being a fly on the wall during the unraveling of a marriage Yes, I do realize how terrible that sounds I have seen many people comparing this to Gone Girl and while I can definitely see why, Lie To Me [...]

ONE STARMy official first book to finish in 2018, but I actually started this freak show in 2017 So, I m mentally tossing it in my smallish pile of 2017 disappointments I have got to start my reading challenge on a positive note I m at a complete loss as to the rave reviews this book has received I believe the author was trying for a shock factor and she succeeded in garnering some early excitement A hollow victory, the book is not worth reading and will not stand the test of time or months.Hey [...]

The first half of the book I kept thinking I d read this book before, and yes I had Gone Girl In this case the comparisons are dead on Missing wife, husband a suspect, but someone or everyone is an unreliable narrator.After reading a few positive reviews I persevered, convinced things would turn around and make it worth my time But the story dragged It s never a good sign when you re ready for a book to be over and you see you have hours of audio left Maybe this one would be better read in print [...]

Wow I really didn t like this one I never enjoy writing an unfavorable review but this was like a never ending soap opera that got less believable and kooky as the story went on This book has so many 4 and 5 star reviews, I question whether the audio exacerbated the soap opera tone of things and perhaps that was less apparent in written form Several people performed this audio, yet each only read when it was his section, so women performed male voices and vice versa This didn t work at all, mak [...]

They built a life on lies Okay, if you say so I was expecting a dark domestic noir thriller, and instead what I got was two assholes who married each other and could have avoided a lot of shit if they d just, I don t know, talked like people who got married for a reason Failing that, try therapy Their marriage issues were all tales as old as time Nothing really shocking he has a wandering eye, she can be cold and distant They don t communicate well Sometimes they love each other, sometimes they [...]
