This books was weird. While most of the changing narrators worked, the character of Olivia was too self aware to make sense as a first person narrator. The characters felt mostly one-dimensional and the ending made no sense to me.

One of Us is Dead was such a fun popcorn murder mystery! It was addicting reading about these rich, unlikeable characters. It felt like Desperate Housewives and Big Little Lies with the gossip, betrayal, and lots of drama.

I was drawn into the unique premise that you know someone has been murdered, but you don’t find out who or who did it until the end. There were lots of twists that I didn’t see coming and the ending was truly satisfying.

Well this was a fun read!!!! Jeneva Rose's talent is clear as soon as you begin the first chapter. This book reminded me of the television show, Desperate Housewives but WAY better.

I love how the story is told through multiple points of view . Although some characters you will love to hate, the character development was on point and these women really came to life. I would consider this a bit of a thriller but it does have a bit of humor .

One of Us is Dead follows the lives of rich, privileged, catty women. These women love their wine but not one another. I get such a thrill out of books like this!

This is without a doubt a five star read and I can not wait to see what Jeneva Rose comes out with next! I am a true fan after reading One of Us is Dead.

Another twisty thriller from Jeneva Rose that had me guessing til the very end! Told in a similar fashion as Big Little Lies, the layers of mystery are slowly peeled back through multiple POVs and movement between past and present. Every time I thought I could take a break and put it down, a chapter ended with a big fat question mark so I ended up reading this in one sitting. If you enjoyed Rose's The Perfect Marriage, you'll enjoy this story of sassy women, repulsive men and how secrets lead to murder.

Totally fun, bad people behaving badly. group of women who simultaneously loving and hating one another, screwing each other in one way or another. Some of the characters were a bit predictable and one dimensional, but I didn't find that hurt them at all.

Seeing the inevitable unfold, and the rather nicely tied up ending made this a fun and fast read. Enjoy!

In the town of Buckhead, the women are rich, catty and competitive. Between the false smiles, barely disguised insults and backstabbing, friendships aren’t all they seem to be. Jenny owns the hottest beauty bar in town, Glow, and she gets to know all her client’s secrets. But when someone ends up dead, will she be able to give the investigating detective enough information to piece together what really went down in Buckhead?

One of Us is Dead was the type of book I walked around reading. It was so addictive I simply didn’t want to put it down.  Like a grown up, cattier version of Pretty Little Liars and Big Little Lies, everyone had their fair share of secrets and lies. I loved the way the story alternated between the events of the past and the present day, with a police interview. Who ended up dead was a secret for almost the entire book and it built such fantastic suspense. 

A fair few of the characters weren’t exactly likeable, but I felt like that fit well with the vibe of the story and provided enough ‘motives’ to keep me guessing who the murderer and murdered characters were. 

This was my first book by this author and I’ll definitely be checking out more!

3,5 Stars

This was a fun popcorn thriller. I was in the mood for something with some mystery to it, but didn't want anything too dark or heavy and this fit the bill perfectly.

Read this if like you..
- Want drama, drama and more drama.
- Binge read/watched Big Little Lies, Real Housewives.
- Love multiple POV thrillers.

Thoughts:
- You're thrown into the drama of Buckhead right away, which made it easy to get into.
- The pacing is very fast - it was a quick read with no real slow points.
- There's a lot of different first person view points. I liked that you got to see more of each character, but sometimes got confused who's head I was in.
- The book kicks off with a present day chapter of one of the leads being interviewed by a detective, after the murder had happened. I loved the element of knowing one of the character's was dead, but not knowing who it was until close to the end.
- There was a good mix of characters for a book centered on rich women in a small town. Some of them you'll love to hate (looking at you Olivia), but there's still others you'll be able to root for and empathize with.
- I was expecting more of a "wow" factor from the ending. I didn't fully predict it, but would have liked some more twists and red herrings along the way.

A story full of twist’s and turns that kept me guessing the whole time! I love the voices the author gives her characters and the way she weaves the threads of detail. Even if I’d figured out part of the surprise ending, I never would have guessed all the details. It was a page turner that I couldn’t put down and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

One of Us is Dead by Jeneva Rose took the most delicious bits of Desperate Housewives, Real Housewives, & Big Little Lies, served them up in an unputdownable novel! I couldn't stop laughing, cringing, or reading. These ladies are nuts- in the best possible way. Highly recommend!!!

All I can say is WOW- these ladies are wild! This story was a perfect mix of Big Little Lies, Southern Charm, and RHONJ. So basically- wildly entertaining and incredibly drama filled. I thought the setting of a beauty salon was so unique and interesting. It kept my attention the whole way through, I devoured it!

A huge thank you to NetGalley, Blackstone Publishing, and Jeneva Rose for this E-ARC in exchange of my honest review.

Pub date is 4/26/22- make sure to grab yourself a copy!

Backstabbing, catty, rich women are not my thing, but Jeneva Rose definitely delivered. I found myself flying through this, anxiously waiting to find out who did it. The drama was a little bit much for me at times because I absolutely couldn’t stand Olivia, but that just means it was well written. The twists and turns leave you second guessing all your predictions then the ending hits ya and you’re mind blown.

I loved:
- Short chapters with multiple POVs
- Character development
- The unexpected spice

This was a really enjoyable read and I can definitely say as a huge fan of all the housewives franchises it's perfect for a fan. I loved it x

.
Totally a guilty pleasure book. I devoured this. Wicked. Juicy. Drama. Definitely the type of book you read in a book club and gossip over while getting wine drunk.
.
Mini Synopsis: All is great within the inner circle of the wealthy housewives of Buckhead. Then enter: scandals, affairs, dirty money, burglaries, and murder.

Check this book out when it hits shelves in April! Thank you @netgalley for the early copy!

One of Us Is Dead is a thriller centered around a prosperous circle of women in Buckhead, where gossip, lies, betrayal and secrets abound and even...murder? Okay so going in I knew this was going to be a more frothy thriller and it lived up to my expectations, there was a whole lot of superficial moments and while I got that was the whole point, I just got really tired of constantly reading through these boring, same-ish perspectives. Olivia who is our resident villain was definitely the most unbearable which was clearly intentional, however even the other characters who were more likeable were so flat and one dimensional that I couldn't really connect to them or feel any sort of sympathy.

I think the only element of the book I thought was well done, albeit predictable was the 'murder mystery' and how that all unfolded. I liked the whole 'women working together' thing the group had going on eventually but other than that I didn't find this book enjoyable.

Buckhead wasn’t a place you lived. It was a place you survived.”

Thank you @netgally & @jenevarose for this early release, releasing April 26, 2022.

This book was a crossover between desperate housewives and real housewives.

Super rich husbands, women with way too much drama- and money. Lies, scandals, cheating and of course-drama.

I really enjoyed most of the characters and their baggage, except Olivia.. iykyk🙄


I really enjoyed the multiple POV’s, but this wasn’t as thrilling as I hoped it would be. The ending was great! I will forever recommend Jeneva!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review!

This book reminds me of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (or any Real Housewives show). A handful of rich women with their rich husbands and all their drama and problems… but the thriller version.

Honestly, I thought I’d get confused with each chapter changing POVs. But I was able to follow along well, and I enjoyed getting insight on all the women’s devious thoughts. It helped that usually, each chapter and new POV picked up right where the last one left off, so the story blended together seamlessly.

The plot twist too? WOWZA. I couldn’t put this book down! This was my first book from Jeneva Rose, but it definitely won’t be my last. Can’t wait to pick up her other ones!

Ahh I wanted to love this one but I just didn't. I found the characters boring and couldn't get attached/care about any of their outcomes. I'm bored of the rich housewives story lines, having to read about wine and expensive handbags, it's overdone. The plot and character interactions felt a bit focused and unrealistic. The mystery itself isn't wasn't exactly thrilling, a few details did surprise me but in the end it was just meh.

You guys!! She did it again! Another 5 star un put downable read! This was like RHOA meets your favorite thriller. This is a phenomenal read. Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc! I can’t wait to buy the print copy when it is released!

Let me start this off by saying that I. WAS. HERE. FOR. THE. DRAMA!

This book had a bunch of vibes that reminded me of The Hunting Wives! All the drama that was getting stirred up in this book had me sucked in! Olivia's character, I absolutely despised! She is your typical mean, entitled, rich girl and I wanted to fight her so many times!

There are multiple POV's, like a crazy amount! There's a POV for pretty much every woman that's in this friend group, so it is a bit confusing in the beginning, but you learn to differentiate between them as the story goes on.

The ending definitely took me for a ride! So much happened and I had so many theories on who did it! If you're looking for something dramatic with a bit of Suspense thrown in, definitely keep this on your radar!

Thank you to the author, Netgalley, and blackstone publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review!

ONE OF US IS DEAD by Jeneva Rose follows the wealthy women of Buckhead and the secrets they keep and the lies they tell.

This was my first Jeneva Rose novel and it did not disappoint! It was sexy, manic, and oh so drama-filled, making it everything I could have hoped for.

The cast of characters was diverse and, as a reader, you can easily find your favorites and also the ones that make your eyes roll!

Rose also packed a punch with some wild reveals, which made this an all-around fun read.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
