I loved the twists this had to offer. The Perfect Affair kept me on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next. I found parts of it to not flow as smoothly as other bits did.

Kept me very entertained and guessing the whole time. Loved all the twist, kept me very interested. Had me on the edge of my seat and found it very hard to put down. Thank you for the arc

The idea behind this novel was really strong, but I found the execution to be lacking. I did not enjoy the ever-changing timelines and character POV's and it made it very difficult for me to want to continue reading. The characters were all very unlikeable, so I was also very uninvested in them. The pacing felt very awkward to me, and I felt some sections were much too lengthy and wordy for no good reason. Some chapters just felt like every little detail was overexplained, and it again made the book feel much longer than it actually was. I really wanted to enjoy this novel but it fell flat for me unfortunately.

Ohhh the perfect affair is full of twists and turns! Very fun and interesting read, I finished this in one go and highly look forward to more from this author!

Wow I really loved this book, excellent read. I will certainly be reading more from this author in future

I was not able to finish the book and therefore do not feel that I can give an unbiased review about the book, its plot, characters, or the author's work. I might revisit this book at a later time and finish it then, but not right now.

When your husband is having an affair, that's bad enough. But when your husband may have committed murder, that's next level! A great story which kept me gripped but I found the storyline dragged out a little. Still well worth a read though!

The professor has an affair with a new colleague. His wife finds out and he says it is over. He lies. He is found out again (no spoilers). He breaks it off.
And now the bunny boiling starts!
I found this quite an easy read that kept me interested.
The ending was a little left of field but finished the story satisfactory.

This book was so good. Roller coaster of emotions. I love not being able to guess who, what , where and why. The ending made the book for me. I hope to read more by this author.

I could not get into this book, or connect with any of the characters 😩 it did have so much promise though

Wow wow wow, this psychological thriller absolutely had me hooked and biting my nails til the very end!! I loved it. This was absolutely the best!!!
I just reviewed The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry. #ThePerfectAffair #NetGalley
[NetGalley URL]

2.75 stars - I could not connect with the characters at all. They were unlikable. I was bored most of the time. The plot twist was unexpected.

The Perfect Affair, the story of College Professor, Aaron Nichol's affair with Cara Morton, a colleague and the aftermath is a twisty suspense thriller. Paige, Aarons's wife wants her family to survive the affair, believing Aaron's decision to end it with Cara. But, everything is not all it seems and who can be trusted? When Cara goes missing, the suspense is more intense. The story of Aaron's easy slide into the decision to cheat on his wife and its emotional aftermath is realistic and well developed. My one negative is the back stories that seemd the cross the lines of believability. The ending was a good one, unexpected but it worked. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of The Perfect Affiar in exchange for my review

"The Perfect Affair" by Angela Henry is a captivating tale of love, betrayal, and redemption that will keep readers on the edge of their seats from beginning to end. Henry's masterful storytelling and compelling characters draw readers into a world where nothing is as it seems, and every twist and turn leaves them guessing until the very last page.

At the heart of the story is protagonist Kendra Clayton, a strong and determined woman whose life is turned upside down when she discovers her husband's infidelity.

Henry's characters are richly drawn and multi-dimensional, each with their own flaws and complexities that make them feel incredibly real. From Kendra's unwavering strength to the enigmatic allure of the other characters, every interaction crackles with tension and emotion, keeping readers fully engaged throughout.

But "The Perfect Affair" is more than just a gripping tale of romantic intrigue; it's also a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the choices we make in the pursuit of love and happiness. Henry deftly navigates themes of trust, forgiveness, and redemption, weaving them seamlessly into the fabric of the story.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

At first glance, I anticipated The Perfect Affair being an extended version of the familiar ‘deranged woman scorned, life of the married man she seduced turned upside down’ trope found in many domestic suspense novels. That may have been the general storyline, but this book developed into so much more than a cliched romance gone wrong. The summary provided by the publisher simply did not do this book justice. I read this non-stop in one evening because it was *that* riveting.

As I read, I visualized the characters as being part of a Tyler Perry Netflix thriller, but with Sterling K. Brown as the nerdy, somewhat bland university professor and maybe a young Vanessa Williams playing the part of the brilliant (and possibly dangerous) bombshell new faculty member with the obligatory shadowy past.

This is the type of book where it pays to highlight passages in your Kindle if you have any hope of solving the mystery - or at least eliminating suspects. This novel got better as I went along, which I loved, as it often goes the other way with many domestic suspense plots.

Overall, it was very well-organized and extremely well-paced. I’d recommend this to anyone who enjoys an intelligent thriller with a fatal attraction theme. It was one of the few novels I’ve read lately where the dialogue is plausible and not corny or cringeworthy. I can promise you that there are at least five major plot twists, most of which are revealed in the last third of the book.

Additionally, the author makes some thought-provoking and very accurate observations about how society regards certain crime victims after sordid details of their backgrounds are leaked to the media. I truly learned something in addition to reading a very engaging book.

I was given a free advance copy of this book from Storm Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review this book. All opinions are my own.

This book was entertaining but a bit chaotic the farther in I read. I found myself getting lost and having to backtrack to check what I'd already read and I felt that the characters were made to be unlikeable for almost no reason. I wanted to root for someone, but couldn't really figure out who.

Aaron Nichols thinks his marriage with his wife is in trouble so when a beautiful new professor starts, he sees no reason not to flirt. Paige Nichols begins to have doubts about her husband and when she meets the new teacher she just knows something is going on between them. After she throws Aaron out of their home he begins to see reason to fight for his old life back and ends the affair. Cara decides she doesn't want to lose Aaron and that were the trouble begins.
This story starts with a bang and ends with one too. I enjoyed the writing and was involved in the life of this couple. It begins slow setting the stage for a completely shocking ending.

Amazing book!
I was thoroughly engaged throughout this book and I didn't want to put it down! The author captured my attention from the get go! Five stars from me :)

This book hooked me from the first page. It was such a twist and turn rollercoaster and i loved it.
This is the first book i have read from this author and it is certainly not going to be my last.
I enjoyed the description, the scene setting and the character development. I started out finding Paige really annoying and then by the end i thought she was bad ass. I disliked Cara from the get go and her character development was perfect. She was meant to be hated and she massively was.
Really well written book with lots of twists and turns. The ending was mind blowing and i never ever expected it. I thought i had figured it all out but nope- that curveball well and truly whacked me in the face. I was jaw to the floor.
I am glad Paige got what she deserved with her happy ending with her little family and i am glad her husband was taught a lesson in the rules of marriage.
