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 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.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #Bookouture for letting me read this book.I really enjoyed this book. So many twists and turns.

What a GRIPPING book! Addictive, chilling and twisty, I was gripped from the first few pages and as soon as you think you've worked out the plot.. it twists again! Super fun read.

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.

This is a really gripping book. I couldn't believe the situation Jennifer finds herself in. The death of her husband and then the woman who turns up is such an interesting story line. I've not read a book like this before, I've read ones about secrets but not where their lives are so entangled in such a mess.

The character Sara is not a nice one but I also feel a bit for her at the beginning, she is in a similar position.

This is was such a good story line, it was a really interesting take on the other woman situation. The ending was brilliant, not what I was expecting although I had an inkling Sara had some issues.

My thanks to NetGalley and BookOuture for a copy of “ The Girlfriend” for an honest review.

I love K L Slater’s style of writing , you get drawn in straight away and it’s hard to stop reading.
She’s one of my “go to “ authors , when people ask me for suggestions.
This wasn’t my favourite of her books , but still head and shoulders above other many psychological thrillers I’ve read.
The book had well written characters and was suspenseful . As I expect from Slater’s previous books .there were brilliant twists to the story .

Wow ! This book was such an amazing read.
If your looking for a thriller that will grip you from the first page to the last then look no further
A huge thank you to the author, publisher and of course netgalley for such a captivating and emotive read

I struggled to put this down!!! Exciting right until the end. I've read a few of this authors books now and I love her work!
I loved the twists and turns, and the different characters perspectives.
Found the ending a little abrupt but this didn't take away from the book for me! I still thoroughly enjoyed this.

Perhaps not the strongest of Slater’s releases, The Girlfriend was an enjoyable read none the less. The narrative felt a little fractured, and was certainly a slow start, but I enjoyed the eventual pace.

Jennifer may decide that it is not a good idea to answer the door when someone knocks. As she and her husband are preparing for the party of the year, he can’t be found. A short while later, there is a knock on the door, and it is the police notifying her that her husband Cole has been killed in a car accident. That is a lot to take in, but it is nothing compared to what surprise lies in wait when there is another knock on the door. Her husband has a girlfriend/fiancée and a baby. Now what? This is a fast-paced novel full of twists, turns and more surprises as well as well developed characters. Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for the opportunity to review this ARC.

Oh yes! Very good story. Couldn't put it down! Thanks for letting me read your advanced book. I look forward to reading more.

My husband has just died and she knocks on the door says that she is my husband's girlfriend and she owns my home. What the hell did I just read! It totally blew my mind and then some. A gripping and unbelievable physcological thriller that you may have to read twice just to comprehend. Loved it.

First off, this review is very late. I originally received this as an ARC but forgot to post a review.

Second, I loved this book. Thrillers typically aren’t my first choice, but I really do enjoy them, however this one was different than the ones I’ve read before and I loved it!

My absolute favorite criteria in books are multiple (2 or more) POV in books so that already was a plus for me. I feel like those really give a better, well-rounded detailed story.

My typical criteria for a 5 star is a “can’t put it down, can’t stop thinking about it” book, and unfortunately that wasn’t this book for me.

An amazing thriller with tons of twists and suspense. Will keep you wanting to continue reading until late in the night. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
