This book was so thrilling!
I listened to the audiobook. The narration was great and easy to listen to. Distinct voices for each of the characters. The narration flowed smoothly and had me hooked.
The story was fun and exciting with several twists I never saw coming. I couldn’t wait to find out what happened at the end of each chapter.

This is satisfyingly twisty and has many characters without being confusing. I was gripped app the way to the end and didn’t see it coming.

Eva has moved on. Several years after the death of her husband, she and her child have moved to a new location and Eva has found a new love. Imagine her shock when at her job as a wedding planner, the couple she’s working with turns out to contain her supposedly dead husband. Along with his new bride to be, he has a newborn child. An unreliable, narrator, and plenty of twists, keep the story going at full throttle

The title of this book tells you everything you need to know about it.

This is a stereotypical thriller with female characters making questionable decisions, a gaslighting man, and a convenient twist at the end.

That said, the audiobook narration was strong and kept me entertained. Since the story switches POVs between characters, I think it could have benefited from multiple narrators, but the single performance worked fine, her voice was engaging and easy to listen to.

If you’re looking for an entertaining mystery audiobook, I think you’ll enjoy this one, but there isn’t anything that really stands out, good or bad.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the early listen.

What a ride. From the first page I was hooked and I did not stop until the very end. Five years after burying her husband, Eva comes face to face with him alive. He has a new wife, a baby in his arms, and acts like he has never seen her in his life. The tension from that moment forward is relentless.

This is psychological suspense at its best. Secrets. Lies. Betrayal. Every chapter raises the stakes. Just when I thought I had figured it out, another twist hit me harder. Nothing is safe and no one is innocent.

Eva is unforgettable. Strong and unsteady. Broken but not destroyed. Her quiet fury burns through every page and I was cheering her on. She is layered, raw, and absolutely compelling. Theo is slippery, charming, and impossible to trust. He gave me whiplash every single time he appeared.

The writing is razor sharp. The pacing never lets up. The atmosphere is chilling. The twists are shocking. This is a book that will leave you reeling.

I devoured it in one sitting. Five stars. Brilliant and addictive.

Thank you NetGalley, Bookouture, and Carla Kovach for the ARC.

.5 rounded up for bingeability.

Premise - Eva's husband, Hugo, died in a car accident five years ago. So what's he doing at her wedding planning business with a new name, Theo, and a new fiancee, Madison? Eva has no idea what's going on. All she knows is this: he could destroy her, but not if she gets him first.

Kovach’s voice is perfect for a popcorn thriller, it’s intimate and pacey without being dry. Both Eva and Madison, our dual POV protagonists, felt real and had me rooting for them all the way through (even when their objectives were opposed).

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Karen Cass. She’s up there with Tamsin Kennard as one of my all-time favorite narrators and she does a beautiful job with this one, too. How do they make thrillers feel so cozy, while keeping narrative tension high? Magic.

I had so much fun with this that I immediately moved ‘The Houseshare,’ ‘What She Did,’ and ‘On a Quiet Street’ off of my TBR and into cart. Reviews to come!

Thanks, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio, for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you @netgalley @bookouture @carla_kovach for the ALC! I couldn’t stop playing this! There were so many side twists and details that I was begging for answers by the end - and the ending delivered 🙌🏻

This had Freida McFadden and Alice Feeney vibes. It was my first Kovach book, but I’ll be reading more!

I really felt for the women in this story.

Five years after the death of her husband, Eva and her son are finally moving on. Eva has remarried Zach and they have moved to her dream place.

As she is starting her new job as a wedding planner in the new city, she meets a couple Theo and Madison. Problem, Theo looks identical to her dead husband, Hugo.

This story keeps you guessing, as we find out that Eva's memories may not be as reliable as we hope. Plus, Eva has a secret she thought died with her husband.

I kept trying to guess and untwist the twists but in the end, I did not have it.

Thank you Netgalley, Carla Kovach and Bookouture Audio for the advanced copy of My Husband's Wife. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
