I can’t quite put my finger on what was missing in this book. It has all the good parts, an intriguing plot and almost obvious that one of the two narrators is not reliable and you can’t quite decide which one. Overall it was good, but maybe dragged on a bit?

Ooooo ... the title of this book is absolutely perfect ... so many webs are woven in this gripping audiobook.

I have read one of Shade Owen's previous books, Death Row Games, and really enjoyed it so didn't want to miss the chance to grab another and I wasn't disappointed.

This audiobook is intriguing in that you have no idea which of the main characters you can trust - Meghan who is recovering after a brain injury or her husband Cole, you also have their daughter, Hazel, and a mystery 'diary entry' person. This does sound a little confusing and whilst it could be if you were reading a physical book, this was not the case with the audiobook with the excellent narrators who brought the characters to life.

A great book that's full of tension, misdirection and red herrings and one that I am happy to recommend. Many thanks to the author, Red Raven Publishing and NetGalley for enabling me to listen to and share my thoughts of this book.

The Webs You Weave by Shade Owens is a dark, twisty psychological thriller that pulls you in fast and doesn’t let go. Centered around Meghan, who’s recovering from a traumatic brain injury, and her husband Cole, a serial cheater with secrets of his own, the story unravels a toxic relationship with their daughter Hazel stuck in the middle. Told through multiple perspectives and timelines, it keeps the suspense high and the pace snappy, especially with its short, punchy chapters. The audiobook version, narrated by Kaden Catalina and Jay Parker, adds even more intensity to the already gripping narrative. While a few twists might feel slightly predictable to seasoned thriller readers, the emotional complexity and tension make it well worth the ride. If you’re into domestic thrillers filled with secrets, lies, and a creeping sense of dread—this one’s a solid pick.

I absolutely love a domestic thriller and this novel had me hooked from the very beginning. Who can you trust? Who can you believe is telling the truth? I loved how this book had me guessing the entire way through.

Highly recommend this one!

I really enjoyed this audiobook; I am going to go as far as to say this is my favourite audiobook that I have ever listened too. It is so immersive. I love the different voices used, and the sound effects to mimic being someone on the other end of the phone etc. So much thought was taken to make this audiobook incredible, and in my opinion, it has paid off.

I also thoroughly enjoyed the plot to The Webs You Weave. It was chaotic, dark and 'unhinged', but I mean most of the best Psychological Thrillers are! I enjoyed the change in different perspectives from three different women. This book covers themes of sexual assault, emotional abuse, and the objectification of women. The book was extremely well written, and personally kept me on edge and in suspense. I literally had a :o face at one point, so I think, for me this book hit the twists category needed for a Thriller.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this; I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

I liked the narration too.

Thank you to Netgalley for a free ARC of The Webs You Weave. This book was really good. If you like Freida McFaddens books then this one has the same type of feel. I guessed a few of the twists, but overall it was a good and entertaining read. I would recommend!

Thank you @NetGelley and @ AudioArc. The Webs You Weave audio was a suspenseful psychological thriller. I enjoyed the dual narration by Kaden Catalina and Jay Parker. I was unsure in the first few chapters if this was going to draw me in to its web. As the story unfolded and we got both sides of Meghan and Cole relationship and why they stayed married. I did not see the ending coming and the trap that Meghan had set up for Cole. I was cheering for her. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and mind play. This book was my first read by Shade Owens.

I got this as an audio arc on Netgalley and it has since come out. Oef this mystery was really well done! Almost everyone was an unreliable narrator to at least some extent and the more info popped up the more twisty it get. Shivers. I LOVEDDDD the narrators too.

A good listen that kept me hooked. Meghan had an accident that left her with a brain injury and is suspicious that her husband Cole is having an affair. Told in different viewpoints is Meghan imagining things? The narrators did a good job with the voices. Thanks to Red Raving publishing and Netgalley for this review ARC.

This was an engaging story I enjoyed the short chapters and multiple POV. However, I was unimpressed by the lack of twists and turns. Overall it was fairly predictable and not quite exciting or shocking enough for me.

This audiobook was definitely something that made me intrigued to listen to from reading the description and there were parts I was like eh but it was still interesting! At one point everyone was suspicious to me lol and I loveddddd the narration and different voices throughout. Thank you NetGallery for this ARC!

The webs you weave gave me Freida McFadden vibes. It was well written and the short chapters made it an easy read. The narration of the book was great. I don’t think they needed the flash backs to when Meghan was a kid or having her mother involved in the book at all it wasn’t super relevant to the story and using the same voice as her child Hazel made it confusing for the listener. Overall the book was great and it kept me guessing to figure out who was telling the truth. Definitely a must read.

The book starts Meghan who was in a major accident and ends up with a brain injury. The last year has been difficult for her family with her recovery. Meghan thinks her husband Cole is a lying cheat and Cole is worried about her brain playing tricks on her and is worried to leave her because she might kill him. They stay together for the love of their daughter Hazel who gets put in the middle of their relationship issues and continues to be worried about her mother’s health issues. Meghan starts tailing Cole because she wants to know if it’s her brain or the truth as Hazel starts spending more time at her best friend Alex’s house away from her parents issues.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

If you like Freida McFadden you'll want to check out "The Webs You Weave".
This book was twisty and unpredictable the entire time!
I really enjoy the short chapters, makes it very hard to stop listening! I also very much enjoyed that each character had their own voice! It gave the characters each their own authentic self.

Thank you NetGalley and Red Raven Publishing for the opportunity to give this book a listen!

This is my first book by Shade Owen, and this will not be my last.

Meagan is dealing with the aftermath of an accident. Her daughter is emotionally distant, and she thinks her husband is lying to her (can’t spoil how).

This book was not what I expected. There were times when I was questioning the direction of the story. Is Meagan seeing things? Is she the person that’s making these things happen? I honestly felt bad for Cole (husband) at the beginning, that changed the more I listened to the book. Damn are there curveballs in this story that I didn’t see coming. This is what made it so good. I enjoyed the multiple POVs.

If you like books that have suspense and have you questioning everything, this is definitely a must read/listen for you. It will keep you on your toes. Also, we all need a best friend like Chelsea.

Thank you to NetGalley for the Audiobook

Thank you to NetGalley and Red Raven Publishing for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review. Cole and Meghan are just hanging by a thread to keep their family together for the sake of their daughter Hazel. Meghan has suffered from a brain injury in an accident and with Cole's past of several affairs with his office assistants, this makes for a psychological thriller that will keep you reading into the late night hours. Cole blames the brain injury for Meghan's paranoia about his affairs but little does he know Meghan has secrets of her own and these secrets prove that she is not paranoid at all. I really liked this book and I definitely look forward to reading more by this author......Enjoy!!!
