Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this
book for review from Enticing Journey Book Promotions and the
author. I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive
review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am
posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part
255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and
Testimonials in Advertising".
A timeless, perfect couple waltzes into the small coffee shop where Izzy Lewis works. Instantly enamored, she does what she always does in situations like these: she searches them out on social media.
Just like that—with the tap of a screen— she’s given a front row seat to the Dunns’ picturesque life. This time, she’s certain she’s found what she’s been searching for. This time, she'll go to whatever lengths it takes to ensure she gets it right—even if this means doing the unthinkable.
Intense and original, The Social Affair is a disturbing psychological thriller that explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience.
My Thoughts:
Josie Dunn is a kick-ass woman with a big heart. Knowing that, her home life is confusing. Izzy Lewis is a very confusing
character. But one thing that is clear
is that she’s a young woman who is very interested in others. Izzy’s life seems so sad and but seems so
obsessive. And she seems so alone. Josie’s husband makes me think of the family
that’s been in the news recently – he makes a good reference. All this shows how strange and confusing this
story is.
Josie is a very conflicting character. She says one thing but something just tells me
she actually means something else. Izzy
wants to change her life but is it to make her life better or is it something
else. Each woman gives the reader a
different perspective on Grant Dunn.
This makes our author smart – instead of him letting us know what he’s
thinking we only get perceptions.
This isn’t a story where I’m trying to figure out what the author
is doing. It’s trying to figure out the
puzzle that the characters have created.
There’s more I could say but if I do I will inadvertently be giving
something away. This is a case where
less is more. It would start to be a
commentary – would feel like Howard Cosell.
But know that the ending is very clever.
It left me with questions. I
found it an addicting read and one that got me out of my comfort zone since I
don’t read that many thrillers.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.
When she's not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Currently, she's writing three series and several standalone novels.
The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, and Basic Instinct.
The Water Series follows the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.
Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.
The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.
The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me.
Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this gig.
