The New Husband | 
pickI really liked this book. It was a thriller about a woman whose 1st husband left her and their 2 children and was presumed dead. Two years later she was in a relationship with a new man. As the story developed so did the reasons for the woman to question who this man really was. As I got further along in the story it was hard to put down. I needed to see what happened next. The story came to a fairly predictable ending but it was a good book.
so-soA low So-So
The daughter in this ended up being the only likable aspect of this book...that and the narration but sadly it wasn't enough to carry the book. Overall, it was a slew of little things that added up and left me feeling rather displeased with the whole experience.
pickThis book surprised me! Initially, I thought it was another suspenseful story about a woman being manipulated by a new man in her life. New man starts demonstrating creepy, controlling behaviors, and the woman refuses to accept reality despite the people closest to her pointing it out. As the story escalated, I recognized that I was loving Palmer‘s twisty, wicked, and heart pounding story.

Any Town USA with a stalker who has me in his sights.
so-soThis an #lmpbc pick for group T. It kept me reading solely for the purpose of finding out if my prediction was correct. I figured it out early in the narrative. The creep factor also kept me interested. Should mail out by Saturday.
So I‘m halfway through this Group T #LMPBC and I have to admit the cover doesn‘t exactly hint to the psycho MC within its pages.

pick#50 of 2021. After the disappearance of Nina‘s husband and him being declared dead, she is reluctant to be in a new relationship. Simon is kind, trustworthy and she finds herself opening up to a relationship with him. When they move in together it puts a strain on her relationship with her daughter who hates him. This was a fun thriller. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soI finished my pick for #Round11 of #LMPBC 📚 This one was an ok read for me. Hopefully you all like it better than I did!! I‘ll get it in the mail this week.

THE NEW HUSBAND
One day while sitting in the cafeteria, a boy I once judged and dismissed, a boy who was an outsider himself, asked if he could join me for lunch. I was reluctant at first, but then we started to talk and I found that this boy, a boy I never would have considered before, was smart and funny, generous and kind.

pickAnother 5⭐️ read... it hooks from the get go and doesn‘t let go until the final page!
so-soEh. This thriller was a bit heavy handed. The reader was too much on the outside, so all of the red flags were very obvious. A good domestic thriller should you put so deep inside that you are just as blind sided as the protagonist. Not my favorite Palmer, but I‘ll give her another go. #netgalley ⭐️⭐️⭐️
+16 for #teamslaughter and #doublespin done!
So many red flags waving around in this book it looks like a shark feeding frenzy omg. I am SCREAMING. Anyone read this one? #scarathlon #screamathon #littenlisten
+1 for #teamslaughter

Today‘s Prompt: LISTEN
A new house, a new neighborhood, a new “boyfriend” for mom, but nothing but hatred for Maggie.
As the days go on, Maggie sees more things happening that seem like control on Simon's part.
Why can‘t her mother listen to her and see what is happening.

pickA psychological thriller that will keep you up all night! #TheNewHusband #DJPalmer #BluestockingReviews #ReadItLoveIt https://www.bluestockingreviews.com/post/the-new-husband
panI think DJ Palmer has a wonderful talent in developing family drama. Since this is my first book by the author, I cannot comment on how he generally incorporates thriller components but I felt that dynamic ruined the book for me.

pickWOW!!
This book was intense. As I was reading this I would think "ok ... is going to happen." and I would be right to the slightest degree. The author took what I thought was happen and cracked the temperature as high as it could go. I have nothing but praise for this book and will be looking for this author in the future.
Thank you @StMartinsPress #readinggroupgoldsweepstakes
There are a million other things I should be doing but I cannot put this down! @StMartinsPress thanks for picking me to read this, I am heavily involved with this story.
My husband is watching tv and I decided to start getting my feet ready for summer.
So far so good with the book. I like the past coming out in therapy.
@StMartinsPress thanks for this, I am excited to see how it all plays out.

Sheltering in place has been the norm since mid-March. Working at home most days, no band rehearsals, & regular get-togethers with friends via Zoom until we can again break bread. My 2 wks on Maui in May are definitely canceled, but I'm holding out hope for Sept. I've been making some improvements to my home.
I read 5 books in Apr.

pickThat Simon is a creep! He does some pretty outrageous things in order to possess Nina. Even though it comes across as a Lifetime movie it's cool because it reminds me of a GOOD Lifetime movie. Believe me, there's a difference. lol I was entertained while reading it so that's all that matters. 🙂
Yesterday we had snow, today is breezy but still feels like spring! My husband wants to "Zoom party" with some friends, I'm perfectly fine social distancing with my book and a cold beer ?♀️

Author talk with @djpalmerauthor !! So fun!! This is an unprecedented time for us all but one plus is all the online author talks! I would have never been able to attend some of these and now I get to see some amazing authors from the comfort of my couch while wearing pjs 🤗

pickFor awhile this book seems like your average domestic thriller, repetitively relaying Simon‘s hidden agenda of emotional abuse and control of Nina, and then it picks up speed and hits with a blast of twists and creepiness! I really liked the way the author played out the plot, given it a totally disturbing vibe once you‘re involved!
The clutch for me was Maggie‘s ending of the book for sure!
Thanks #netgalley and #stmartinspress !
pickHAPPY PUB DAY!!!
I had so much fun reading this ARC! There were times where I did not want to put this book down it was so good! Yay for new books out today 🤗 tomorrow @djpalmerauthor will be having an event with Gibson Bookstore. I hope to get a spot 🤞🏻

pickStart out w/a cliff hanging mystery, what happened to Glen? Forward to an interesting new family dynamic Nina (Glen‘s wife) moves to a new house w/ her kids, & Simon. Simon is not only Nina‘ s new beau, also a history teacher in Maggie‘s school, awkward much?A bit of a slow burn, makes the build up well worth the investment. The story gets going things get crazy good, you'll devour the pages. Fans of domestic fiction & thrillers will equally enjoy
pickThis was the psychological thriller I NEEDED to read right now. It‘s a nice counterpoint to other novels of the same genre that I‘ve read recently.
Happy pub day to D.J. Palmer‘s latest thriller, The New Husband! Have you read this one yet? Is it on your TBR?
pickTension, ill will, subtlety, lies, and suspense abound in THE NEW HUSBAND.
You do NOT want to miss reading this book.

Yay for book mail! Boo for a husband that opened my mail! It is like Christmas when I get a new book and he stole my joy.
I never know which NetGalley read to open next! I hope this one works out! 😜
pickI enjoyed this domestic thriller quite a bit! Engaging from the start, the book really gets going two years after her husband‘s fishing boat is discovered- with a bloodstained deck and only the family dog on board. Now, two years later, Nina is trying to move on with the new man in her life. But her daughter has reservations about Simon... and after how poorly she seemed to really know her husband, can she ever trust anyone? Thanks, #NetGalley!
pickI mostly liked this book. I thought the idea was enough to keep me entertained, but I did find a lot of it to be predictable and in some spots unrealistic. The story was suspenseful and I liked how it all came together but the twists just weren‘t as jaw dropping as I had wanted them to be. Overall, I enjoyed it. #stmartinspress #thenewhusband
pick**In this chilling, twisty thriller, D.J. Palmer takes you into the depths of obsession, showing the lengths people will go to keep their family together.....or tear it apart**
I devoured this book in one day. So good!!! Highly recommend.
