The story starts with Alice marrying Seth, who she doesn’t recognize as she’s walking down the aisle, but everyone else seems to know who this stranger is. She stops the wedding to figure out what the heck is going on. Her doctor says she may be “face-blind” in that she cannot recognize faces, but why would Seth and his parents be the only faces she can’t recognize?? All her pictures with her Seth have been mysteriously deleted from her phone!! There has to be something else going on here. There has to be someone in her life that wants everything to think Alice is going crazy…..

I absolutely love Shalini Boland and all her books, and this one was absolutely no different. She is the queen of the twisty, jaw-dropping thrillers! She is definitely an instant auto-buy author for me 💕💕
I really love dual timelines so I can get 2 parts of the story at once, but what I love EVEN MORE is how this author distinguished between the two timelines, and kept it very clear which time you are currently reading ❤️❤️ Not enough authors make it clear when they switch back and forth between time periods/characters, and it usually just frustrates me more than it entertains me to be honest.
This story is also dual POV!! In that we get just a liiiiiiittle bit from the side of the “bad guy”. It continues to set the scene for an impending dramatic event, but you never know when it’s comingggg……
I was very confused where this book was going the majority of the time. I was constantly questioning what was going on and making up solutions in my head… it was a very, very enjoyable read!
The end twist was a little crazy, but I have to admit I have never seen that twist done before 🤪 I definitely didn’t see it coming!

As you would expect from such a fabulous author a psychological thriller with a roller coaster of a plot ! Read and enjoy !

I read The Silent Bride by Shalini Boland in one day! I did not know what the story was about as I received an advance copy that did not include a cover or synopsis of the story. The story hooked me right from the start. We are introduced to Alice on her wedding day. But as she is walking down the aisle, her groom turns around, and Alice does not know who he is. The story takes off from that point and just keeps going.

It got a little tedious during the middle of the book, and I felt some scenes were unnecessary. I don't want to give the ending away, but the ending was pretty amazing, which saved the book and my rating.

I give The Silent Bride a 4 out of 5 stars. I would recommend this book and this author. The stories the author can craft do not disappoint.

Thank you NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This book kept me interested the whole time, and I actually finished it in one day because I wanted to see how it ended. I would definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a fast paced and well written book.

I don't have adequate words to express what an immersive, captivating read this was! The story started with the point of view of an unknown character then quickly took shape around Alice and Seth, who are due to be married after a whirlwind courtship. There are a few red flags, notably that Seth hasn't met any of Alice's family or her friends. Whenever an event is planned, he inevitably has to work late.

But the punch in the throat came on their wedding day. Alice is being led down the aisle by her father, and she's understandably excited and nervous, but when she lays eyes on her husband-to-be, she can't believe what she's seeing. The beaming groom is NOT Seth.

Wait, what? Of course it is. Everyone says so. N0 one can figure out what's wrong with Alice and why she abruptly leaves her own wedding, but Alice doesn't know the stranger she left at the alter.
What follows is a mystery so complex and so layered that I felt utterly paranoid while reading. That final twist at the end was perfectly executed. This is my favorite book by this author thus far! Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer/Amazon Publishing for this thrilling early read that will publish May 1, 2023.

The Silent Bride by Shalini Boland is another compulsive read that kept me guessing from beginning to end. If you have not yet acquainted yourself with this brilliant and prolific author, do yourself a favour and add this one to your TBR, you will be instantly hooked.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an ARC of this title.

Really enjoyed this book and devoured it in less than 24 hours! A great storyline with enough complexity in the characters to keep you wondering what the heck was going know!

Again, I don't know how she does it but yes again!!!
Shalini Boland has a brilliant mind. This book had me breeling on who, what. ?? I honestly didn't have it figured out.
Brilliant work of art to weave so much into this book. Loved, loved, loved.

Thank you NetGalley and Shalini Boland for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 stars! WOWZER!! This was such a fab read! I had no idea of the story when I started reading,, but Shalini Boland is an auto buy author for me so there was no question that I would read her newest book. It starts with a bang, and keeps you engaged throughout! I went through so many scenarios in my head, thinking this is the reason why or that is the reason behind the mystery, but boy was I wrong, and I loved it! The last 2 chapters were very fitting and a great ending to a great read!

Wow! Shalini Boland just rocks!! What a fresh new thriller. The characters were awesome. This book hooked me from age one and didn’t let go until the final crazy end. Such tension! Loved the twists, turns and reveals. The punches just kept on coming.
Highly recommend
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book

Literally went in blind - no book cover and premise! Main character Alice has wonderful news to share with her roommate and friends, her boyfriend Seth has proposed. Things take a turn on their wedding day, as Alice walks down the aisle she doesn’t recognize Seth. Who is this person impersonating Seth, where is her fiancé? This is crazy! This is a slow burn mystery with a few twists.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for a copy.
