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".
"After four, I quit counting. What’s the point if you know it isn’t going to stop?”
Sadie is jealous. Why wouldn’t she be? Her life is falling apart. Meanwhile, her new neighbor is everything she is not.
Ann is perfect—the kind of woman everyone loves to hate—and a best friend to die for. She hosts over-the-top dinner parties, takes parenting to an entirely different level, and makes ambition look sexy as hell.
Sadie learns quick: the best way to cure jealousy is to befriend it. She also learns there’s more to her new friend than meets the eye. She’s patient, she’s kind, and possibly a serial killer.
It isn’t until Ann’s proclivities hit a little too close to home that Sadie has to ask herself how much she’s willing to overlook in the name of getting what she wants.
Exquisitely paced, Her is an unnerving and electrifying psychological thriller about jealousy, passion, and the dangerous places desire can take you. Full of enough tension and twists to make even the most seasoned suspense reader break out in a cold sweat, it keeps you guessing until the very last page.
I found the beginning to be very interesting. Someone is sharing their thoughts but we’re not exactly sure who it is. Could it be Sadie? Could it be Ann? Sadie shares a lot of what’s she’s thinking with us. We really get to know her. Ann is something of a puzzle. She seems to be like a maestro. She likes to direct those around her. She also likes to orchestrate things.
I like to work on puzzles but this one is like no other. You have to keep reading to see if you can figure things out but then something else comes up and I’m scratching my head trying to figure out where this author is going. Sadie seemed to want the reader to know what she’s thinking and doing. As well as how she interacts with others. She seems to put a lot of importance on what others think of her. Ann is more closed off. We learn about her from Sadie’s interpretations.
Love and romance have no place in this story. If you like a story that challenges your mind than you’re going to enjoy this one. You have to have patience. Only you can decide if you’re willing to take your time in reading a book where mind games can get a little frustrating. It may even have you wondering how well you know your neighbors. And even Sadie admits to that. I applaud the author because as things started to unfold, as I was getting toward the end, I found that I was way off base. That’s a good thing because you never want to figure things out early and I’m terrible with solving mysteries anyway. But it left me saying one word, “Wow!” And I’m also left wanting more by Ms. King.
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.
