I couldn’t put this book down! It grabbed me right from the beginning and kept me going until the very end. I have already recommended to a coworker

This book was like a Lifetime movie! It was full of action and drama. There were dual POVs narrated by the husband and wife, Aaron and Paige. There were so many twists and unexpected turns in this novel. It was such a roller coaster ride! There was great suspense building and I was fully locked in on what would play out at the end.

I listened to this book in one sitting. The narrator, Rachel Henshaw, did an amazing job! She brought all of these characters to life and made the book an even better experience.

I really liked the premise of this book, however the character development was abysmal. The only really interesting storyline was towards the very end. I felt that this author was just trying to see how crazy they could make this book and just put so many different twists in it, but it did not work because all the characters were so horrible and I did not like any of them, Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

I was not too sure at first about this one. A married college professor in Ohio falling into an affair with a collegue and then her causing problems when he tries to end it. In the beginning there is a dead body in a freezer in a lock up, but you have to read most of the book before it is revealed, though I did have my suspicions. Aaron is supected of being a part of the disappearance of Cara and is being questioned regularly by the police on quite tenuous evidence. But the suspense does build up and the plot kept me interested and turning the pages.
Told from different points of view, the story gradually comes together as the characters contributions merge. The different timelines could be a little confusing and some of the subplots perhaps a bit too much and too contrived. Saying that, it is an enjoyable read .

A book for mystery lovers. The author's writing is engaging and captivating enough to draw you into the story. The book is interesting, although it has excessive plot twists. The same happens with the characters, there are too many and even a bit unnecessary.

There is a lot going on at the same time, and it seems like the author tries to cover everything, but the story becomes overwhelmed and confused.

It is a book that draws a lot of attention due to its plot but unfortunately fails in its overall execution.

It was good, but I had high expectations in this one and that is probably why I have got a bit disappointed.

I would like to thank NetGalley, Storm Publishing and the author for allowing me to read this advanced copy in exchange of my honest review.

I really liked the premise of the story, and was pulled in from the beginning. However, it felt a little too slow in some parts and a bit too quick in others. The middle of the story got a little too farfetched for me, and I was wishing the characters would just use some common sense. By the end, I was pleasantly surprised with the twists and enjoyed all of the suspense and thrills this book had to offer.

Fraught with tension, this psychological thriller loops you on twists and turns until everything snaps… into an ending you won’t see coming. Enjoy the ride!

Given from multiple POVs, The Perfect Affair unfolds at a fast and enticing pace and combines elements from Fatal Attraction, Basic Instinct and Presumed Innocent (as Angela Henry herself shares with us at the end of the book). Paige realises that her husband, Aaron, is having an affair with his new colleague, Cara. And as things start to turn ugly, Cara disappears and we are left trying to figure out what's happened to her, everyone's dirty secrets begin to unravel.
The theme that runs through the story is what happens when normal people find themselves in impossible situations and how they react when we are in danger of losing everything they hold dear, which I personally really like. Unreliable narrators and lots of plot twists make this a very enjoyable read. Angela Henry definitely delivers in terms of suspense and I found myself wondering all the time where the whole thing was going and how the story was going to end.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for my advance review copy, all opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book a lot!

A good plot and fast pace, all the characters felt really alive. Paige’s siblings are so cool!

The writing was amazing, I saved many quotes and definitely will read other books by this author.

But was a little bit overwhelmed with all the twists and information in the end, otherwise it would be solid 4 stars.

Also, Cara’s connections to other people (can’t say more! iyuyk) are complicated, and was hard to figure out who is who.

But the book is an interesting popcorn thriller, I had a good time reading it. So recommend giving it a try :)

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Our Rioters also raise their glasses to our beloved Angela Henry who has an exciting new book out! The Perfect Affair is available in paperback, e-book, and audiobook—what’cha waiting for?! Sherin calls it, “A twisty, suspenseful, funny, “she did what!?” kind of thriller that will keep your head spinning.

As soon as I started reading this book, I knew that it was going to blow my mind. And it did

The story is about Aaron Nichols and Cara Morton's affair, and how this situation affect both the couple and Paige Nichols life. In the book we see how all the characters has their own problems and their own reason to act he way they do in the book.

I am not going to lie, but thee were moments where I really understand cero of what was happening, like too many things happening at the same time, and too many secrets that, according to my perspective, did not help the 4th the storyline of the boo, it only helps to confuse me about certain things.

But at the end I really enjoy the books, I would totally recommend to a friend.

The Perfect Affair wasn’t so perfect, and for me, neither was this story. There were a lot of twists and shift in time and perspective and it became had to keep track of the who, the what, and the why of it all- including why any of these people still wanted to be with any other of them. Not a lot of likable people, much less love lost here.

If you’re looking for twists on twists on twists, this could be for you.

Thank you Angela Henry, Storm Publishing, and NetGalley for providing this ARC for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.

This book is a hold on to your seat, buckle up, and enjoy the ride thriller.
There were so many twists, and I didn't get very many of them right. I adore a book that keeps me guessing.
I'd rate it as a 4.5, and will round it up to a 5 star.

This thriller definitely held my attention throughout, but I do think there were way too many characters to keep track of and some of them are just distracting. I wasn't at all surprised by the ending which I was kind of bummed out by. I didn't see the explanation for the ending coming but wasn't overall shocked by any of it. I think the characters were well developed, but I think I would have liked a little bit more back and forth between Paige and Cara. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Cara and Aaron are having a steamy affair. When cara suddenly goes missing, Aaron finds himself as the suspect. The question is will he go to jail for murder he didn’t commit? And can he save his marriage?
I am always a sucker for a domestic thriller. Something about them always pulls me in. I did find it hard to follow at times, and there was a bit much going on.

This offering by Angela Henry left me with mixed feelings.
Throughout the book the plot was fairly standard fare. A colleague affair, the discovery of the affair by the professor’s wife, then the disappearance of the colleague.
Then, with approximately 10% left in the book, all the loose ends start coming together. But wait, there’s more. There is some much more it is hard to keep track of at times. I wanted to say “enough already “.
I do want to thank the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advance copy.
