I am a thriller girl. Of course I'll read anything that is really good but I gravitate toward thrillers. Needless to say I read a lot of them and am always trying to guess the twist, the ending. After reading these mysteries with action added for a long time, I thought I was getting pretty good at it. Enter The Wife Between Us by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.
I'm reading along one night, my husband walks by and wonders why I look that way. Now I say that is my everyday face, but he thought I looked shocked. Then I start flipping the book backwards, saying "What? No? What? Huh?". I just didn't understand, but I did. It was devious, it was unplanned, it was sneaky, I didn't see it coming AND it was only half way through. To say I loved it, is an understatement. It's fast paced, fast reading and I never saw it coming. What else could you possibly want in a thriller? Next book these two authors put out, sign me up, I'm first in line. You though waiting to get Harry Potter books at midnight was a big deal, wait until their next book comes out. I'm totally there.
The most remarkable thing about this, after seeing me questioning this book, being so shocked, my husband read it. He rarely reads fiction, but was compelled to give this a go. He finished in a day and didn't see the first twist either. Wonderfully diabolical.
*This review is one I posted at BookishFirst.com. If you haven't been to their site give it a try. You can earn points for books, write reviews but the best thing is you get to read several chapters of books really getting to know them before you purchase them. Frankly, I think you should buy everything I tell you to but somehow I don't think you'll take my advice alone. Oh well, a girl can try.
