Welcome to Litsy!

This was a good but fairly typical thriller right up until the twist ending ❤️

While I‘m loving the trend of colorful edges, I‘m not sure I can get on board with this one! I‘d be too squeamish to hold it, I think! It‘s very … realistic-looking. 😳😬

The original book got me back into reading. It was recently fully re-edited and it cleared up a few points of confusion from the first book. I cannot wait for the sequel!

A moment for these spooky sprayed edges bc wow. 🫣 #bnbookfest

Read this for book club. I really enjoyed this & the many twists along the way. I did predict the big twist & not entirely sure it worked for me but still really enjoyed it. The Collector‘s Edition has bonus content that adds to the story. I‘m excited for the sequel to see what happens next! I‘ll be seeing the author in person when she tours for it so I‘m excited! It‘d make an interesting film or tv adaptation.

These are both special edition covers that I had to buy solely for the handprints. I'm hoping The Perfect Divorce also gets a handprint special edition. 🩸🩸🩸

Sarah finds herself facing her most challenging case yet when she vows to defend her husband--a man accused of murdering his mistress.
While Adam is certainly guilty of sleeping with Kelly, the question remains: Is he guilty of killing her too? This synopsis alone, grabbed my attention and pulled me into reading this book. It was an enjoyable domestic thriller read from both of the main characters perspectives.⭐⭐⭐

Premise was great. Twists were good. Writing... not so much. I finished it because I wanted to know how it ended, but I won't be reading more of hers.

⭐⭐/⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

When your 19yo says "I was drawn to this book by its cover, read the synopsis, & thought 'Mama will love this!', you dive into your Christmas gift! ? #currentread #currentlyreading

Perfect amount of drama, and mystery and red herrings until the end

This book made me so mad, I had to wait a few days to share my thoughts.
Ridiculous. No likeable characters. Misleading narration (and not in a way that makes sense in the end).... I really wanted to like this book, but I just didn't.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.8/5 🌟

A fun, easy escape that doesn't demand much, just entertainment.

A perfect title for this mystery- absolutely loved the ending. Easy summer read!

Entertaining and I thought the premise was clever!

I wasn‘t going to read this and then in the bookstore this enthusiast reader said that she loved it! I have to say it does pull you in. A wife represents her husband who is a suspect for his mistresses murder. 😳 The ending seemed rushed to me and there are some loopholes but I did like this quick read. Murder kills!🤓

This book has so much potential. Great plot about a murdered mistress, a powerful female attorney character, dual-perspective storyline and a twist at the end! Some of the writing left a bit to be desired. “Discoveries” came from thin air, but it was still an enjoyable read for sure.

I read this about a year ago and it was a soso pick!

What did we learn? Don‘t take a mistress when your wife is a lawyer. Or actually, in any situation, don‘t take a mistress.

It certainly keeps you guessing until the end, I listened to the audiobook and did not love it, I think I would‘ve enjoyed it more if I read the physical book.

EDIT: Nope 🤮 bailing

Next #kindleunlimited novel. Came high rated on a list of Kindle Unlimited recommendations - not totally loving it two chapters in, but will give it a bit more of a chance.

Love it!

I was really loving this book at first. Adam is so chaotic. When he first had the run in with the police, I was thinking "omg, wtf, calm down" it was very abrupt. These characters were all so unlikable but I was eating up the story.
Then the end happened. I had predicted it, which normally doesn't bother me. But the way it happened was so dumb.
Great book, simple writing, engaging - 4 ⭐️
But that ending knocked it down to 3

I teetered between so-so and pick on this one. It was an engaging, quick paced story with a few good red herrings thrown in to throw you off. But the writing was a little off and almost seemed juvenile at times. Was the story believable? Absolutely not but that‘s why books are entertainment and not always true to life. It wasn‘t bad enough that I would not try to read another book by the author.

This book was so dumb but I read the whole thing in one day so maybe I‘m the dummy. Unbelievable and with very unlikeable characters but it was a page turner, I‘ll give the author that. I didn‘t want to DNF. This was my #BookSpinBingo #doublespin for September.

Kind of a cheesy read and not a lot of believable events in my opinion. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

7/2023

There are so many plot holes in this book that it‘s truly hard for me to imagine how it has such a high rating. It reads as if the editor just gave up on it and pushed it out the door.

My first Jeneva Rose book and it was amazing! So hard to put down. Multiple twists that surprise you and the final twist almost made me fall out of my chair!

Enjoyed this read. Not my typical go to genre, but I found it entertaining.

This is the perfect beach read. Pretty quick, and tied up all the loose ends for a strong finish. Held my interest throughout, but I had some of it figured out by the end. 8/10

Good but not great. The twist came out of left field with no prior clues or foreshadowing. It needed a long explanation to make sense. Also, there were minor inconsistencies like “he put on sweats” then the next page says “he unzipped his pants”. I don‘t feel like I learned anything from reading this one.

I did enjoy this one, so many suspects and twists. At one stage I did think well maybe it was them but quickly said no probably not! I didn‘t see one of the final twist though. Kept me engaged and guess to the end!

This had enormous plot holes, one-dimensional characters, and a complete disregard for reality (see comment). But it was entertaining and non-demanding enough to keep me reading. Plus, there were red herrings everywhere and I was curious about whodunit. Then came the last chapter with its unbelievable and ridiculous reveals and I lost my remaining goodwill for this book. Spoiler comment below.

This book was truly incredible! It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns it had! That ending was crazy!

The premise of this book was intriguing: a husband‘s mistress is murdered in his cabin & his attorney wife chooses to defend him. As evidence come to life, the truth seems hard to find. The thing is, everyone in this book is batshit crazy. It‘s like their id & superego are fighting & the former is continually winning out. Ultimately though, I found myself strangely liking this novel even as I shook my head at it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

The story was entertaining enough to keep me reading. Especially the first half. The writing itself, lack of character development, twists that didn‘t make sense, and mess of an ending are why I rated this 2 stars. If you can get past the plot holes and enjoy the story then you may like it a little more. ⭐️⭐️

Love!

Enjoyed this one thoroughly!!! My first kindle book in a LONG time.

3.5 out of 5. A few editing mistakes but still, quite an enjoyable read.

I started following Jeneva Rose on Instagram before reading any of her books because she is hilarious and refers to her husband Drew as "the past tense of draw." That is my kind of humor ?

I am happy to report that I am still a fan after reading this twisty tale about a murdered mistress, an accused husband, and a defense attorney wife who takes on her husband's case.

This is the first time I have read this author. Omgosh what an awesome book! Could not put it down. 5 stars for sure!!

Rating 📚📚📚

This book was not at all what I expected it to be, and I was a little let down. The policing could have been written better, but I get it. Adam was a sorry excuse of a man, spoiled and fucking selfish. He got everything he deserved. Sarah played her hand well and I'm a leave it at that. I would have liked to see a deeper dive into the mistress's background around her allegedly murdering her husband.
