Another great 5-star story from K L Slater!

Jennifer is getting ready for her and her husband Cole’s annual Halloween party when Cole suddenly leaves in a hurry. Jennifer isn’t concerned as Cole’s work in property often means he needs to leave suddenly to sort out business problems however this all changes when a few hours later two policemen show up to her door and give her some very bad news, Cole has been in a road accident and died. Jennifer is just getting to grips with this news and wondering how to break it to her children, Miller, and Sylvie when suddenly a lady with a baby strapped to her knocks at her door with some shocking news. Sara has been in a relationship with Cole for a year and a half now and baby Rory is Cole’s son. Jennifer doesn’t think things can get much worse but then Sara drops the bombshell that, due to a loan that she gave to Cole, Sara owns the house that Jennifer and her children live in. Jennifer is devastated however, Sara offers her a lifeline, Sara has no family of her own and her dream is for Rory to grow up surrounded by his, so she suggests an unconventional arrangement; Jennifer and the children can continue to live in the family home, but Sara and Rory will move in too. This way Jennifer and the children keep their home and Sara and Rory get to have the family that Sara wants for Rory. With no other option Jennifer agrees, however when the police tell her some shocking news regarding Cole’s death Jennifer starts to wonder whether Sara is all she seems and can Jennifer really trust her?

Wow I really enjoyed this one! I really liked hearing the story from different characters and I thought the writing was very clever. I had never heard about “nesting” before, but it was an interesting element to be educated in. I really liked Jennifer, really detested Cole and felt that Sara had a little hint of “The Hand That Rocks The Cradle” about her. Although I thought lots about who was the ultimate baddie in the story, I didn’t guess who it was, and the twist came as a total surprise which always makes me happy.

I find I can never go wrong with a K L Slater book; they always pull me in and intrigue me and this one was no exception. If you are a psychological thriller fan you won’t be disappointed with this book, I highly recommend it.

Total twist of a book. Great domestic thriller that had me wondering what was going to happen next!

As always you never disappoint me. I was guessing as to what was going to happen. Great characters , twists and turns galore. Some characters were likeable but some werent.

What a twisty, turning physiological thriller! Oh my Lawd! Twists around every corner. Everybody has a secret in this book. Everybody. Jennifer and Cole are happily married, until they’re not. Sara is a new mother with a wonderful fiancé…or is she? Just when I thought I had it all figured out..or even a PIECE of it, no I didn’t! Read it!

The Girlfriend was a fun read that kept my attention through to the end. The characters were well developed and the plot was interesting. Makes you think - What would you do? KL Slayer always delivers.

KL slater has done it again! She manages to make each book unique yet relatable! Full of twists and turns, you cannot imagine where it is going! Fab read!

#TheGirlfriend #NetGalley This was a psychological thriller with so many twists and turns, it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the whole book! Well written and fast paced with lots of action. I didn't warm to Sara's character but then I guess I wasn't supposed to! I enjoyed this book and will look for more from this author.

My husband’s dead. She’s at my door. She owns my home…



The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her buttery blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms.



As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts.



She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I know this will be hard to hear. But I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.’



My world implodes. And then she tells me that she owns our home – and that she’s not going anywhere…

This was good, I wasn't quite expecting the accountant to the the one behind it all. So i would recomend this book.

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of The Girlfriend by K.L. Slater from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion.

Thanks to NetGalley for the copy of the book in exchange for a review.

Another great psychological thriller. By K. L. Slater. This story was full of twists and turns. The plot was fast paced and the characters were interesting to say the least.

Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture and K.L Slater for an ARC in return for an honest review.. #TheGirlfriend #NetGalley

Another fantastic psychological thriller from K L Slater.

As usual interesting and intriguing from the start and very hard to put down. lots of twists and turns to keep it interesting throughout. An inventive plot of just after Jennifer learns of her husband's death, his girlfriend Sara, turns up on her doorstep with his baby and wants to move in with Jennifer's family.

I had no idea at times as to where this book was heading and did think at times it was a little over the top, but its still a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

A big thanks to Bookouture for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

I absolutely love this author. You just know your getting an exciting read. She never lets you down. This plot was so different. I couldn’t put it down. The author always seem to find a fresh new plot. It was gripping. A real page turner. Very well written

I have read other books by this author and always find that if you can accept that the characters are unpleasant, the plot crazy and unlikely, and the switching between timelines and different PoVs not always well done, then ithey are a surprisingly entertaining read.
