📚 Book Review 📚 ⭐️⭐️

The Wife Next Door by Rona Halsall

A divorced couple who want to coparent their son buy houses next door to each other? What could possibly go wrong?

Sounds intriguing right?! The premise is as good as this book gets. The main character has things happen to her but there’s no woman who would just brush them off so easily and accept the things that happen. The twist and this story don’t make sense….I wanted to scream to the “twister” that they could have done things so much differently!

It took me longer to get through this book than it should have just because I never felt really invested in the story or cared what happened to the characters but it had great reviews and I was waiting for that OH SNAP moment to come and it never did.

This was a new author for me and I did like the storyline; be prepared it’s different. Don’t take my word for it, check it out. I will read more from this author

The plot of The Wife Next Door screams 'recipe for disaster!'
I'm sorry, on what planet does a divorced couple think it's a good idea to move into houses next door to each other?! Halsall does a solid job of explaining why the family does it, but I just don't get it.
That said, once I let go of that issue, I was invested and was swept along with the plot happily. It is fast paced, with creepy and chilling vibes throughout.
Aside from my issue with the main premise, the characters are mostly likeable and I rooted for them.
The main selling point for this book has to be that ending though. I have come to expect shockers from this author after reading this, it is clever!
An enjoyable read.

This was very gripping an intense. It kept me up way past my bedtime. Was well written and finely executed.

This is a gripping story with lots of twists and characters that I wasnt sure who to trust. I did think the ending came quite abruptly but that still didnt spoil the overall story.
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

The story centers around Jess, who following an amicable divorce from her ex husband Rob, found the perfect answer to co-parenting by purchasing the home next door to him.

Jess and her partner, Ben are now living next door to Rob, his partner Carol, and her son Mo. Toby, the son of Rob and Jess, splits his time between both homes. Got all that?! :)

Suddenly, someone...or something...begins to threaten Jess' domestic bliss. But who...and why?

This book definitely kept me guessing until the end. While slow at times, and I found Jess to be mildly frustrating, the overall story was good and I found it to be a quick read.

Many thanks to the author, Net Galley, and Bookouture for the ARC.

This is a gripping domestic thriller, fast paced and hard to put down. My only criticism is that it seemed to end abruptly. Still, I would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed The Wife Next Door by Rona Halsall. Not sure if I could move next door to my ex but that’s what Jess and Rob agree to do. Then things go from bad to worse. Lots of twists and turns throughout. Who was being lied to and manipulated? A great read.

This was good. Not the most unexpected book but I still got enjoy it. Thank you for the opportunity to read it as an ARC

I really enjoy this author's work - always a tense intriguing psychological thriller....however if i had to choose I would say this is my favourite so far .Looking forward to reading more

Thrilling. Pacy. Packed with twists. A fantastic, addictive stunner of a read. This author never disappoints and this book is just wow!

I was really looking forward to this one, it was " Okay" I didnt love but I didnt loathe. It was just an average read for me.

EXCELLENT domestic thriller, keeping the suspense high wondering what the heck is going on. Well written with great characterization amidst lots of intrigue. Totally enjoyed & RECOMMEND highly for a terrific read. Thanks to #Bookouture & #NetGalley for this ARC in return for my honest review.

The Wife Next Door is a psychological thriller for readers who enjoy domestic dramas. Sadly, I've been too busy to sit down and read and the book expired on me before I finished reading it. I'm half-way through the book and I think I know who's the bad guy, but I'll have to buy it now as I have to know how things work out in the end!

Thanks to Bookouture, Rona Halsall and Netgalley for the ARC.

I adore Rona’s books so I was instantly excited about this book landed. Rona is an author who always delivers and I know I’m guaranteed a brilliant read.

The Wife Next Door has completely gripped me from the very first page. I instantly knew that it was one that I wasn’t going to be able to put this one down and soon I’d devoured the entire book in just one sitting.

This has been intriguing and moves at the perfect pace. I have devoured page after page, completely hooked and unable to predict where this one was going.

I love how tense this book is. It’s definitely completely unpredictable and as a reader, you cannot predict where this is going. It really pulls you in and is completely gripping from early on.

I’ve read most of this authors books and this is definitely a favourite. I absolutely recommend this book to everyone. I wish I could experience reading this for the first time all over again.

The wife next door was my first book by Rona Halsall it won't be my last. I absolutely loved this book. I would give it 4 out if 5 stars. I like the writing style she does. The story draw me in within the first chapter.

The Wife Next Door took me a little while to get into. After a couple chapters it did move along quickly. This book was very unbelievable at times and the characters were very unlikeable. The ending was a surprise and will keep up you guessing until the end. Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy.

The Wife Next Door by Rona Halsall was another excellent book by her. Every book I have read by Rona, I have been gripped from the beginning till the end. She has a way of writing, that just has you hooked from the very first few pages. The only down fall to all her book is, You don't want the story to finish, as they are always so Good! all the characters are brilliant and you become apart of her books. This makes Rona one of the best authors out there.

I highly recommend all her books especially The Wife Next Door.......A 5 star read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the E-Arc. Man this book really had me guessing. I thought I was going crazy right along with Jess being suspicious of everyone. I was engaged the whole way thru and never wanted to throw my phone so win win.

Thanks to netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. The premise of this thriller had my thriller spidey senses pinging! A divorced couple move into a duplex with their current partners and children in an amicable raising our children as a family kind of way. But just as they move in, the ex wife starts getting threatening little messages and starts to feel that someone doesn't want her to be living so close to her ex husband, is it his new partner or the daughter? A captivating domestic thriller that had me staying up into the wee hours to finish it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐#thewifenextdoor #ronahalsall #netgalley #tea_sipping_bookworm #litsy #thestorygraph #goodreads #domesticthriller #bookqueen #bookstagram #amazonkindle #amazonaustralia
