Super interesting book. I will definitely look for more books by this author. I enjoyed the suspense and the book held my interest.
Good job with the narration.

This was my first Shade Owens novel, but it definitely won't be my last. I love when I can read/listen to a book and become completely engrossed in the story. The pacing was quick and kept my attention throughout. The characters were well written, and the narration on this one was so good!

The Webs You Weave by Shade Owens, an audiobook narrated by Kaden Catalina and Jay Parker is a kind of mad and crazy psychological thriller that will make you question - what the heck is going on?

I absolutely enjoyed this audiobook - it was multilayered, with sound effects and fantastic narration. Both narrators did a fantastic job, you could feel they were connected with the story from the start to the end.

The main characters Megan, Cole, and daughter Hazel have some characteristics to like and dislike at the same time none of them are truly I love or hate ones.
I guessed some twists but really close to the twist reveal so can't say I saw them coming. And I loved the ending! It was a perfect Saturday read!

Megan survived a heavy accident and was left with one side paralysed. It's affected her work life, her marriage and sadly her relationship with her daughter Hazel.
Cole... hm... I don't know what to say about Cole... He is there when he is needed but does not show any extra effort, he is just there... There is nothing special about him!
Hazel is a confused 14-year-old who is trying to deal with her emotions and in some way the trauma of nearly losing her mother. She comes across as sharp but we can feel that she is just trying to protect herself.

There are enough layers to unwrap, enough secrets to discover and the most important part - it's just easy to enjoy this story!

This was an easy read! You dive in and just demolish it in one go! No jumping back and forth in time. There were some past events but just to complete the story.

This is my first book by this author but I definitely don't think it'll be my last!

There were plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing until near the end and I really enjoyed having an unreliable narrator as it keep me questioning throughout.

None of the characters appealed to me so at times I did find them a tad annoying and some of this did feel a bit far fetched but overall was a fun read and reminded me of books by Frieda McFadden.

The narrators also did a superb job for this! They were engaging and drew me in.

What just happened?!?
This was a wild ride. I really didn’t know what was going to happen.
Cole sucks
Megan is wild
Justice for the secretaries

But I still have some questions because what !!?

Twisty, suspenseful and definitely captivating

This truly was a gripping psychological thriller. It was so hard to know which narrator to trust, but it quickly becomes obvious that Cole is scrum and uses and destroys the women in his life. I was actually hoping for a worse ending for him, but I suppose this was better justice for the women involved. Good story!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author Shade Owens, and Red Raven Publishing for my advance copy of this audiobook.

Thank you to NetGalley and Red Raven Publishing for allowing me to listen to this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

WOW! I have not listened to a thriller like this in a LONG time. I couldn't stop. It was so immersive and addicting. I was hooked. The twists were great. Predictable? Maybe, but not in the sense everyone would think. There's so much going on with multiple viewpoints that it keeps you guessing the entire time. I will be looking for more books by this author! Loved it from start to finish!

This does not have NEARLY enough hype, and I cannot wait to tell anyone and everyone to listen/read this!

3 5 stars

Neither the husband or wife were likeable characters. The Wife,s brain injury helps to make her unreliable character. The added addition of hazel, ( the daughter) and someone from their past added enough mystery to keep you guessing.

At times it was predictable and didnt flow as smoothly as it could. But I liked the narration and was invested to find out answers to all my questions. This is my first book from this author and I will be picking up more.

While the story itself held promise and managed to capture my interest, the experience was ultimately marred by the narration. The narrators' delivery felt oddly inhuman and unrealistic, which became increasingly distracting as the story progressed. Their portrayal of the characters lacked authenticity, often coming across as overly cheesy and artificial. This disconnect made it difficult to stay engaged, and I found myself unable to finish the book despite my initial curiosity about the plot.

That said, the audiobook does have a redeeming quality: its handling of dialogue. The way the conversations between characters are structured and presented is well-executed, adding depth and dynamism to the interactions. Unfortunately, this strength was overshadowed by the narrators' performance, which left me questioning whether the issue lay in their interpretation of the characters or the text itself.

In the end, while the story had potential, the unnatural narration proved too much of a barrier to fully enjoy the experience. For listeners who prioritize compelling voice acting, this audiobook might not be the best choice. However, those who can overlook the narration might find value in the dialogue and the underlying story.

3.5 🌟

The Webs You Weave was a jam packed domestic thriller, full of twists and turns and red herrings. Told from multiple pov to keep the reader guessing.

While I thoroughly enjoyed the title I did guess all of the twists, and found certain elements to be really repetitive, but I still had fun with the book.

Kaden Cartalina and Jay Parker narrated the title really well.

Huge thanks to Red Raven Publishing via NetGalley for the opportunity to review this audiobook🎧

There are two sides to every story and sometimes the truth is somewhere in the middle, and sometimes its fabricated.

A husband and wife have their own version of events. One might have a traumatic brain injury, one might be cheating and one might want revenge.
Oh the wicked web of lies this novel spins.
This is my first by this author, and definitely not my last.

Thank you Raven Publishing for this audio book. The narrators were perfect!

This book was so entertaining. I loved how the main character had an untrustworthy brain and all the POVs lead you in so many different directions with the theories. The narration was great and I was hooked till the very end ! 👠

Two wholly unlikeable characters, locked in a can't live with/without marriage and a mystery diarist determined to inveigle her way between them. It's intriguing although I found the switching of narrators midway through sections just for conversations a tad too distracting, and the story a tad clunky.

Received this as an ARC as an audiobook from Victory Editing through NetGalley. Audiobook format had fantastic editing, sound effects, and narration. Story kept me engaged but was predictable at times, a typical domestic thriller.

Thank you to Red Raven Publishing and Netgalley for the advance copy of this audiobook. All opinions in this review are my own!

What a wild ride this book was! I loved the plot twists and the way the author really made you confused for a good while about who to believe and who to like. It took me a little bit to start liking Meg, the FMC, but once the story unfolds I was rooting for her. Very nice ending and overall a thrilling read!

I actually didn’t see the ending of this one coming! It took me a bit to warm up to the FMC Meg but once things started coming together, it all made sense! I finished in less than a day, I didn’t want to stop listening

This was my introduction to this author. I don’t know whether to love her or be really hopeful I don’t ever accidentally bump into her. What an absolute creep fest. The story is told from multiple perspectives chapter by chapter. Cole, from the outside, seems like an amazing husband and father. He loves his daughter so much and is taking care and trying to be patient with his wife after an accident that left her with a brain injury and physical issues. What a good guy. Only he is not. He is the opposite. Meghan is sure someone is trying to kill her. Who was she before the accident as she is so different from before. Her daughter loves her, but at times she’s a little more than afraid of her. And what is Meghan going to do to deal with her husband's behavior? And who the heck is following her and trying to kill her? According to Cole, it's all in her mind. So very twisted, dark, creepy and most every other adjective in the thesaurus. Lots of twists and turns along the way lead to an interesting, satisfying ending. I kind of hope that there will be a follow up to when

Very cool audiobook with the sound effects, phone calls, and “real” convos. However the plot fell flat for me. There was too much going on in attempt for plot twists but it just got confusing and some wasn’t necessary.

This book is a solid 4.5 for me.
Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher, for this ARC, all opinions are my own.
Shade Owens is a new author for me, and The Webs You Weave made me a fan.
I live for a good domestic thriller, so this book was right up my alley.
Owens draws you in right away with a cryptic description of Meghan’s current situation.
This book follows Meg, Cole and Hazel through the domestic drama that is their lives with a multi POV style of writing.
Meg is tired of her husband's dishonesty and infidelity. He only hires the prettiest assistants and comes home late every night. She knows she is right about the late nights and missed dinners, and Cole can't convince her otherwise. Accident or not, she knows something isn’t right.
Cole is trying to convince Meg that she is crazy and is imagining these affairs. He claims he has made mistakes but that is in the past. He claims Meg’s accident has left her with gaps and an unreliable reality.
Hazel is caught in the middle and just wants to escape by spending her time with her best friend, she is worried about her mom but also feels like she is too hard on her and feels detached from her. She values her father's care but questions some of his actions.
As Meg and Cole weave through the web of lies that is their life who will come out on top and how will Hazel fair? Is Meg crazy as Cole claims or is Cole the adulterous husband Meg thinks he is. Read this unexpected, suspenseful twisty tale to see what happens.

The Webs You Weave sucks you in from the beginning. The middle is a little drawn out, but the ending is the reason I have this 4 stars. This book has an explosive ending with twists that you just don’t see coming!
