I’ve read some of Tarryns earlier novels and after reading this I’m wondering why I ever stopped?? This was a tense gripping thriller that had me doubting everything I read and peering round the corner of every twist and turn! I love an unreliable narrator as you can never be sure how much of what you are reading is true. I whizzed through this and am now off to search the back catalogue for anything I haven’t read! Thanks to the author, Netgalley and HQ for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Wives is the best type of thriller, the type that leaves you wanting more!

While I found the marriage set-up crazy there’s plenty of poly people that it works for. I really liked Thursdays character, she was fun and I liked she was a little unstable.

Seth chilled my blood.

Utterly utterly gripping.
Meet Seth, a polygamist man who has relations with three women named Regina, Thursday and Hannah. He divorced Regina to marry Thursday but he is in touch with Regina. His third wife Hannah is pregnant with his baby.
Told from a single POV of Thursday, this story is so clever and engaging that i completed in a single breath.
It was my first book by Tarryn Fisher and I'm glad that i picked it up for reviewing.
Narration of the story is awesome.
Characters were so real. I loved them all.
Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

4 stars - just!

Whaaaattt??? I think this book should be strapped into a straitjacket and sealed in a padded room. Or maybe the author should?!!!! 😂 Or maybe I should because for most of the story I found it compulsive reading even though I knew it was nuts! My head is still spinning and I think it’s now back to front! It’s hard to say what this book is about without spoilers although the clue is clearly in the title! Seth sees Thursday on well, a Thursday, in Seattle. He’s divorced from Regina but now Thursday can’t have children she agrees to Seth having a polygamous marriage to Hannah in Portland, Oregon. So Seth zips happily from one wife to another which he would, wouldn’t he? Well of course, it’s a darn sight more complicated than that.

The characters are not what they seem. Initially, I had a lot of sympathy for Thursday although to be so compliant beggars belief. Then she starts to dig into the other woman’s lives and her actions become questionable and the sympathy wanes and you realise that you cannot trust her. However, she is wickedly manipulated especially by Regina and told so many lies although she doesn’t stop long enough to ask sufficient questions.

Even though you know that most of the plot is like being aboard the crazy train I did enjoy most of the ride. For about two thirds it’s riveting and then the plot unravels. The final part stretches credulity and it’s at that point the head spinning gets very frantic. I’m not entirely sure I completely got it and the end leaves you hanging.

Overall, I did have fun with this book. If you can suspend disbelief and are happy to board the bus into crazy town then you may also have fun with this suspenseful, psychological thriller.

Thursday's husband, Seth, has 2 other wives. She has been alright with this Poligamist situation, since that is what it takes to keep Seth, but then she starts wondering about the other wives, whose names she does not know. Once she figures out the identity of the other wives and makes contact with them she finds that things are not all as Seth has told her they were.

This was a really fast one day read for me. It grabbed my attention right away and I could barely put it down. There were lots of twists and turns and so often when I thought I had things figured out, I didn't. At around 50-60%, I thought I knew what was going on and would have been disappointed if I would have been right and thankfully I was wrong. I was thoroughly entertained.

It's quite rare these days that you find a thriller with a completely new concept but this was one!

Thursday shares her husband with two other women, but doesn't know who they are, until her interest gets the better of her and things take a turn.....

There were several points in this book where you were blindsighted by what was coming. You really got to see the thoughts in thursday head, the intrigue, the paranoia and the confusion and it really added to the story.

100% need to give it a go!

This was fast paced and really easy to read , Thursday is in an unconventional marriage , her husband has 2 other wives that she has never met . She see's her husband once a week and to start with it's enough for her . She starts to get curious and after finding a note in her husbands things she befriends one of her husbands other wives . The more she digs the more complicated things become . An enjoyable if far fetched read ....

oh my this book is a must read the twist and turns in this book are brilliant how would you feel sharing your husband with other Wife s ?and how well do we know our partners you think you got the twist but I bet you don't I so recommend this book
