I enjoyed this but it was not my favourite by this author. It did lose my attention a bit at times. All in all a good read though

This was a pretty inventive thriller. I listened to the audiobook in the end, and I did enjoy it. I didn't guess the twists and turns, and really enjoyed the experience. There was a lot of intensity in the character emotions, and my heart was racing repeatedly as I tried to read faster and faster so I could find out what would happen next.

I always enjoy books by K.L.Slater. This one did not disappoint. I did not see the ending at all. Great characters, would have liked a bit more from our loveable coppers! Overall though, another great, easy to read novel.

This was a wild ride of a read but also kinda triggering for me b/c of the abuse/cheating. This was my 2nd book by K.L. Slater and I loved the 1st book. So I think this is a me problem and not an author/writing problem. I will definitely be giving her another read!

Thank you Bookoutre and Netgalley and sorry I didn't read this sooner.
Wow, couldn't put this one down.
This was a good read, with a great plot and characters, but for him the ending was a bit quick so would have liked to have a bit more oomph to it.
As usual though K L Slater does it again!
Definitely recommended

Wow, this story starts off with nightmare upon nightmare upon nightmare for our poor FMC Jennifer!

A quick and entertaining read!

This was definitely a great read but I was just a little disappointed with the ending. It was a bit quick so would have enjoyed a more in depth finale! Always a good read from K L Slater though.

Thank you Netgalley

This took a few chapters to really get into but once the speed kicked in it didn't put the brakes on until the very end.

An amazing marriage, two wonderful children, a lavish home...Jennifer and Cole have the perfect life or do they?

Jennifer is left devastated when her husband is killed in a car crash. A few days later there is a knock at the door. Standing there is a much younger woman Sara holding a baby, a baby that she supposedly fathered with Cole and to add further insult to injury, Cole had signed over their lavish home to her also.

Jennifer and her children are now homeless. Without realising, fully trusting her husband Jennifer has signed all the papers, blindly, giving Sara everything they owned.

Now whilst the whole secret girlfriend storyline has been done time and time again, it's never been done in the way K.L Slater has portrayed it.

Brilliantly executed, clever twists and expertly written.

Huge thanks to netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

A very interesting read with some great characters and twists. I'm a big fan of the author and while this one didn't initially grip me as much as previous books, it turned into a compelling read.

I read and love a lot of domestic thrillers, but what I liked most about this was it was totally different to others I've read before. It was a new take on domestic thrillers with a fresh storyline. There were lots of added twists along the way and it was fun to watch it all unfold. Can't wait to read another by the same author.

I feel like this is an unpopular opinion, but this is definitely my least favorite K.L. Slater book. The plot is fun and keeps you on the edge if your seat. The problem lies in the dialogue. It just felt so unrealistic and at times I couldn't help but cringe a little. They can't all be winners. Take this with a grain of salt, of course, because many other readers loved this one.

I loved this book! It really kept me captivated from start to finish and is definitely one of the best psychological thrillers that I’ve read this year.

The drama for this one started from the get-go and it was with the death of the FMC husband who just left the house and didn't tell her... Where did he go? What happened to him?

I had so many questions throughout the book. KL Slater kept me waiting and wanting more. To add more drama and tension, a random woman arrives at Jennifer's house claiming she is Cole's girlfriend and this is his baby. I mean, really!? Could Jennifer's world be more torn.

The story leads from there, the rollercoaster of a ride you're taken on, the reader is thrown into utter chaos, a mistress and a murder.

This was a great thriller and it definitely gripped the reader from start to finish.

Thank you @netgalley, KL Slater and Bookouture for allowing me access to this ARC.

Another gripping read by K.L Slater and believe me you won't be able to put this book down.

Jennifer is preparing for their annual family Halloween bash for husband Cole and their two children, when Cole suddenly goes out without telling her.

A knock at the door changes her life when two police officers arrive to deliver the dreadful news that Cole is dead. She is left heartbroken and shocked.

As if things couldn't get any worse, a woman arrives holding a baby. Her name is Sarah and she is Cole's girlfriend, the baby is his and to top it all off she wants to move into HER home!!

WOW a rollercoaster of a ride that had me guessing all the way through. I loved the red herrings that threw me off track. Its thrilling and sheer brilliance.

A strong 5 star rating from me.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.
