For Better and Worse (Original)
For Better and Worse (Original) | Margot Hunt
On their first date back in law school, Natalie and Will Clarke bonded over drinks, dinner and whether they could get away with murder. Now married, they'll put the latter to the test when an unchecked danger in their community places their son in jeopardy. Working as a criminal defense attorney, Nat refuses to rely on the broken legal system to keep her family safe. She knows that if you want justice...you have to get it yourself.Shocked to discover Nat's taken matters into her own hands, Will has no choice but to dirty his, also. His family is in way too deep to back down now. He's just not sure he recognizes the woman he married. Nat's always been fiercely protective, but never this ruthless or calculating. With the police poking holes in their airtight plan, what will be the first to fall apart: their scandalous secret--or their marriage?

Vigilante justice books dont always work for me l, but when they do, like this one, it‘s such weird thoughts that go through my head. And then this ending, hey now, can‘t do that!

Audiobook of “The House on the Water,” also by Hunt, did not impress. (It‘s not in the database.) It‘s starts out interesting, and tension starts to build, but author tells more than she shows. Plot twists borrow from Agatha Christie. Narrator was good. #mystery #audiobook #murder #TeamSlaughter

This book had a solid premise, but fell a bit flat overall. The writing style felt unrefined, even for a quick thriller.

3.5⭐ Good concept. I personally could have done without the ending stopping at the final chapter and left out the epilogue.
*the very bad picture is one of 2 bears we saw in Gatlinburg TN while on a ghost tour.

I finally finished a book in my normal amount of time! I was in such a slump!

I‘m not sure how I feel about this ending 🤔.. I think good! 😂 But this one kept me hooked the whole time so yay!

Oh wow, I‘m surprised I even finished this one. I would have bailed had I not been mildly curious about the ending. It did not live up to my expectations! Keep in mind, however, I am a detective who investigates sex crimes and crimes against children. So this was the opposite of escape and fun reading for me.

Almost a year later, I finally got around to reading my November 2018 #BOTM pick. I was honestly surprised how quickly I got sucked into the story, which was a pleasant surprise because I didn‘t have high expectations for this book. Overall, I thought the plot and story was great, but I felt that the ending fell kind of flat and was a bit abrupt. In addition, the epilogue didn‘t satisfy me and could have had more to it.

A nicely paced story of a couple willing to do anything to protect their child from the evils of the world. The ending was a surprise - but in retrospect not that shocking. It made sense in terms of how the characters evolved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

This book was alright. The suspense kept me reading, wondering if she will get caught or not. I really liked seeing both sides of the story from both points of view, that was really cool. Could have been a little more action, but over all I liked this book. 4/5 stars (:

Great fast paced book! Without giving away too much- its about how much a mother and father are willing to do (or not do) when someone hurts their child. Didnt expect the ending and then the very ending- WHOA! Def. recommend.

Wow this one was so good!! I love Nat and her devious planning. She's one scary person to be deal with! This one kept me reading until the late hours. All I can say is, definitely pick this one up. (Nat should have gotten rid of Will though. You'll understand if you read/or will read it)

Jeannineth I LOVED this one!!!! I thought it was way better than some other hyped books such as The Silent Patient, Miracle Creek, or The Anonymous Girl. 5y

This sucked me in from the very beginning and kept me reading. That being said, the climax was a serious letdown and not entirely believable. Just ok for me!

On their first date, Nat and Will jokingly discuss how they would commit the perfect murder. That conversation ends up being put to the test when someone threatens their son. The thing is I never felt like there was a major climax in this book or a jaw dropping moment but it still held my attention-I was along for the ride. The pacing was well done and I was invested in the story. Thanks to #Netgalley for the ARC.

This was such a strong start and I was really hooked and then it got to the build up and fell flat. It was just okay for me. I really didn‘t love the ending and it was so disappointing because I was really looking forward to reading this one. It wasn‘t bad - a quick read, but not my favorite.

This was a quick and relatively entertaining read (entertaining as in it kept my attention, but the subject matter is dark). But it was also predictable and quite cliche, and it all wrapped up a bit too neatly. I‘d recommend it as an easy page turner, but it won't leave a lasting impression.

Will and Nat met in college and get married and have one son Charlie. We find out he is molested by the principal of his school. Nat decides she will make sure no other children are hurt by this monster.
This was interesting but a hard subject to read about .

12.1.18 Wow! This book was great. At first I wasn‘t sure if I was going to be able to get into it, it seemed all too cliche. An unhappy marriage with an unexpected turn, but I loved it. I liked the multiple point of views and how even at the end when it felt like everything was settled, Margot Hunt threw another curveball at me. 4/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
