After hearing so much about the author of 'Behind Her Eyes', I was looking forward to delving into this one.
I am somewhat underwhelmed.
I found myself rolling my eyes at the ypunger/wilder wife intimidating the older woman stereotype just so predictable!
The twists later just sounded like the author wanted it to be crazy and it just went weird!

Dead to Her is a deliciously addictive and tension filled read that will keep you on your toes, turning the pages to unravel the captivating plot. Great read for summer be it by the pool or in your back garden.

I enjoyed this Book. Great and complex characters, a twisty plot which had me thinking about what way things could go. Well worth adding to the to read collection. Thanks for letting me review this book Netgalley

This was a bit of a let down for me, I loved her other novel BEHIND HER EYES and generally like the writing style. However I was not invested in any of the characters. They were super shallow and boring. The plot was also quite slow and too much inner dialogue was going on for that I didn't care much.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publishers and the author of this book for the opportunity to read the arc in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. Although I found it lagging at the start, the story manages to slowly drag you in until you're caught and wanting to read on to know what happens next. The idea of the jealous wife at the start kind of bothered me but Pinborough was able to play on that and completely switch it to something I wasn't expecting.

I liked the aspect of the voodoo and assumed curses that played out and the battle to figure out who really did it.

I'm a big fan of Pinborough's work so I already expected to enjoy this book and I'll definitely be recommending it to friends and such to preorder and read it for themselves. Although I do prefer some of Pinborough's other books to this I still believe that it was a fun and gripping read.

Disclaimer: Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for a copy of this book. I have been sent a copy of this book for review purposes. This has not influenced or affected my opinions in this review.

Dead to Her is a psychological thriller which is addictive. The ending to this book is something which will completely shock you. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone. I have previously read some of her work and I was excited to read this. The only thing which let it down for me, was I would say that at times it was a little bit superficial. However, if you’re a fan of thrillers and crime, you will enjoy this book!

*4 stars*

I really loved the characters and storylines within this book, however I found it a tad superficial and predictable particularly towards the end. Great writing style though, will definitely check out more of Sarah's books

Huge fan of Sarah Pinboroughs previous work and was intrigued by the idea of this one. Firstly so well written, the characters are full and bursting off the page at you. The Voodoo was also an interesting focus. However I was perhaps expecting more of a gripping thriller? I’m sure it will be exactly the sort of book many readers are looking for but for me definitely not as amazing as I was personally hoping for.

This was quite an unexpected plot for me but definitely as twisty and turny as you’d expect from the author. Second wives are not ruling the roast so much as being the trophies for their rich, successful husbands. Marcie met Jason and, once married, is thrust into high society in Georgia. She knows she’s an outsider but will do everything she can to keep up with everyone around her. When a new model arrives, wife of Jason’s boss, she’s the talk of the town – and for good reason. Keisha does and says what she wants and this sort of recklessness won’t go unnoticed. This goes darker than I expected but was all the more enjoyable for it, it sort of entices you to keep reading. I loved it.

Thanks to Netgalley for the preview of this book. It was a departure from Pinboroughs previous books especially by introducing voodoo. This book deals with dark topics & is a very good read.

I was so excited to receive this book as the author comes highly recommended by friends. Unfortunately I just couldn't get to grips with it. It may be that I prefer British authors, or it may be just this particular story that I didn't connect with. Either way I'm disappointed that I was unable to finish it.

Absolutely not the relationship thriller you expect, this book takes some really dark turns into voodoo, murder and suicide. Very unexpected and totally gripping, I really enjoyed.

Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough is, let’s say from the very beginning, very beautifully written. The characterisation is very good and each character is quite distinct in their behaviours, jealousies and envy.
But, this was not the book for me.
I’ve read a lot of Sarah Pinborough and after Behind Her Eyes, I was waiting for something more than just the worrying and fretting of Marcie and the younger, beautiful Keisha. It seemed more romance than anything else, with a few sex scenes thrown in to add to the heat of the Savannah sun.
It just didn’t grip me the way I wanted it to.

Psychological Crime Drama.. with a Great Twist at the end... 📖✍🏻

Dead to her is written over four parts, majority of which is told from Marcie or Keishas perspective's.

Marcie, married to Jason his second wife, who seems very insecure and unsure of Jason's love for her.
Keisha recently married to Jason's boss William aka Billy, much younger, his first wife previously passed.

Marcie and Keisha first meet on a work outing, Marcie's feels threatened by Billy's new young wife, who appears to be flirting with her husband. A rocky start for these ladies. Each character in their own way, is definitely out for themselves and have skeletons in their closets.
Difficult to know what to say without giving any spoilers away on this book, it's well written, addictive reading, lots of twists and turns. I didn't expect it to take the path it took, when you get into it you don't want to put it down.

Another great read from Sarah Pinborough, a definite should read for 2020 🤓

After reading and loving “Behind her eyes” I was very excited to get my hands on this book!!

I’m not even sure where to begin, with reviewing this amazing book and to give it justice - WOW!!

William Redford has come back from his travels with a very young and beautiful black bride Keisha.

Marcie whose husband Jason is a close friend to William, knows how hard it is to be the second wife, especially when you have not been bought up in the privileged world like the other wives.

Marcie is at first horrified that Jason is flirting with Keisha and believe me she will do anything to keep her status as second wife. But she is also drawn to Keisha like a moth to a flame, just be careful you don’t get burnt!!

This is a roller coaster of a book, there is glamour (masked ball) secrets galore and more twists than a curly wurly!! Not to mention voodoo.

I couldn’t bear to be parted from this as it was more addictive than sugar and twice as lethal. It will keep you guessing as every time you think you are on the right track, there is another twist.

It’s the book you will read and rave about it to everyone you talk to. I’m sitting here contemplating the ending with a huge smile on my face.

The must read book of 2020.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

very entertaining book from sarah pinborough when william marries a much younger black woman and brings her back to the us it certainly sets off a series of events that shakes up his community .throw in some vodoo and you have a summer sizzler on your hands .

spoiler alert ** There's a line in this book,where a police officer says that there isn't a nice person amongst them (not a quote).
They're right. This book is full of selfish unlikable people out for what they can get.
Even the harmless old fool who got suckered in by the dazzling gold digger young wife is horrible.
This makes it a fun read,throw in cheating,divorce,murder,embezzlement and witchcraft and it is very much a fun ride.
Very enjoyable.

I''m afraid this novel was trying to be too many things to too many people. The voodoo part and the savannah setting was unique and interesting - that should be the focus for the book marketing in my eyes. Makes it stand out and feel fresh. There were tons of interesting snippets of haunted things, hangings etc but then I kept getting thrown into the next sex scene and catty discussion which really spoiled my enjoyment of the story.

I did roll my eyes at how naive the young woman was getting married to the older man and then worrying she was being bought. Turn this novel into a voodoo themed thriller, take out the (bad and far too many) sex scenes and then it would be so much better. My humble opinion but I would have liked it better if so.

As it is, a mixed bag.

When the world feels like it's falling apart, and everyone around you is losing their heads, what better way is there to escape than to lose yourself in the dizzying pages of one of your favourite author's books?

Let me just start this review by saying Sarah Pinborough is crazy, in the best possible way, and I think that's why her books are so insanely good. Normal people can't write this stuff.

I loved Behind Her Eyes (still thinking about that ending) and Cross Her Heart, and when I got my hands on an advance copy of Dead to Her, I buckled myself in for another wild ride.

Set in smoking hot Savannah, this cast of disgustingly rich, perfectly flawed characters take you on a rollercoaster ride in this psychological thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. Starring Marcie and Keisha, the second wives with everything to hide, and a hell of a lot to lose.

Dead to Her was the hottest, sexiest thriller I've ever read, and offered me something a little different. This page turner kept me up at night (no, not in that way!) with its devourable chapters and pacey plot. It's dark, dangerous and a little bit creepy.

Take a pinch of lies, a dash of voodoo, a tablespoon of revenge and about three kilograms of lust and you've got the recipe for this murderously steamy summer read.

You can get your hands on this beauty in August, but if you've not had a taste of Pinborough yet, self-isolate with a copy of Behind Her Eyes and about a million biscuits. You're all set.

The positives of this book are that it was well written and it did have twists throughout the book. However, for a reason that is hard to put my finger on, I just didn't gel with it. I finished the book for the purpose of a review but it took me a while as I wasn't excited to go back and find out what happened. I could see this being made into a film though!
