That was one hell of a ride!! I love the plot and how it all twists and tangles with all the characters involved. There were a lot, I have to say, but they weren't that hard to follow. The book was very simply written, I love how the timeline switches from before and after with the main protagonists, it leads to what happened to Cara. There was one character that I don't think was necessary but I guess her POV was much needed to throw in some thrill and confusion, which I think did serve its purpose. Of course, there were times I wanted to reach in there and strangle the protagonist for his poor decisions but it made sense in real life, so that was forgivable. Overall, very enjoyable. Could easily be ranked up there with McFadden and Feeney's caliber.

This was such an interesting story! I definitely did not see the end coming at all. Lots of details helped me to get to know the characters enough to keep me guessing as to the outcome. This one kept me engaged and trying to read faster to find out how it was going to end. It's always a good book when you keep telling yourself "just one more page'! It took a bit to get into it, but once there, I couldn't put it down. Great book!

I wanted to enjoy this book more than I did, I felt the first half quite slow with a lot of things being repeated. It did speed up and become more engaging during the second half and had some good twists

There were so many twists and turns here I never knew what to expect next! Everytime I thought I had figured it all out there would be another twist and I would be completely wrong - and that almost never happens (usually in mysteries and thrillers the answer is painfully clear but not here!)

I do feel like this was a book of multiple parts, the first third was much slower, much more of an emotional exploration. The middle really ramped things up and it kind of lost me for a while as things became a little bit less realistic and fantastical. The ending was really strong though and hooked me back in.



Alongside the twists and turns, I think the characters were wonderfully complex themselves and I loved seeing the different layers of them unfold. I never really liked or warmed to any of the main characters, but I think that’ intentional and I really enjoyed reading about such nuanced characters. Part of the success of this book was the multiple POVs, and while I usually hate split POV books I’m willing to make an exception here as it added so much depth to see the story unfold in this way. I would say that I don’t think this is the sort of book you can put down and pick up later as there’s quite a lot of interlinking and complex dynamics so I think if you put this down for a week and then went back to it you would probably end up completely lost.

I haven’t read anything from this author before but I will certainly be keeping an eye out in future as this was honestly a brilliant thriller and I still can’t get over how I didn’t see some of the twists coming!

If you’re looking for a suspenseful thriller with a mystery jam packed with twists then this might be the one for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an E-ARC

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and could not put it down! The characters were very well drawn and with the plot twists I was definitely hooked. Could not recommend this book more!

This is a great psychological thriller from Angela Henry. As this is the first book I have ever read by this author, I was not sure what to expect. I was not disappointed! The book takes off right from the start and keeps you turning the pages until the end. There were a few parts that got confusing as you had to remember a LOT of details that happened throughout the book. This was the only reason I knocked it down from 5 to 4 stars. While I did enjoy that the ending wrapped up all the characters, I felt it was a little out there. I will say that every time I thought I had things figured out, there was another twist; which I loved!

Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing for an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! This is exactly the kind if domestic nojr that I love. It is fast paced, there's constantly things happening and the plot moves forward with such a rapid pace that all you can do is hang on for the ride. The characters, the secrets, the lies, tbe betrayals..... it was all done to perfection! A must read for the domestic noir crowd

This book was a good psychological thriller that should make anyone think twice about having an affair! Lol. Extramarital affair gone crazy!
This one has you guessing throughout the book.
I was surprised at the villain in the end, I didn't see that coming.
Thanks to Netgalley for the eARC for my honest review !

The Perfect Affair
By: Angela Henry

4 Stars

When Aaron finds himself promoted at work, he also finds himself surrounded by some new colleagues. One such is Cara Morton, the woman he soon finds himself having an affair with. When he breaks it off with her, she isn't happy, to say the least, and plans to ruin him. Later, when Cara goes missing, Aaron is the number one suspect. His wife Paige, while angry, finds herself helping him clear his name. She knows he may have had an affair with Cara, but he would never hurt her, right? So who would?

This book was a crazy ride from the very first page to the very last. It is fast-paced, full of drama, and will keep you guessing till the very end. With every turn of the page, you get a new truth that comes to light and wow. The revelations are shocking. While this story is full of intriguing characters, it did seem crowded at times, but it happened more towards the end, which didn't take away from the overall goodness of this read. This was my first book by this author, but I hope to read more in the future.

*I want to thank Netgalley and the author for this book in return for my honest review*

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of The Perfect Affair.

I love love LOVED this book. I could not put it down! I tend to be very good at working out the ending of thriller books but this had me in all kinds of knots! I could not figure it out. I loved and hated the characters along the way and I was definitely hooked. Could not recommend this book more!

Thanks to Netgalley and Storm Publishing for the eARC of The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry.

You are promised a twisty thriller and that is what you get. I enjoyed it and it was a fast pace read, a great one when you want something that will keep your interest which are hard to put down.

3,5 ⭐

This book kept me suspensefully engaged, always defying my expectations. While I adored the initial third, the middle seemed somewhat implausible, making the narrative feel prolonged.

However, it redeemed itself in the final section, leaving me with mixed feelings. Despite this, I'd recommend it to fellow psychological thriller enthusiasts.

Being my first experience with this author, I had no preconceptions, but the book turned out to be a gripping surprise.

I'll certainly be on the lookout for more of her works.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. This was a good one that I really enjoyed. The ending is full of twists!!

This book is one of those reads that kept me on edge through the whole story. Every time I thought I knew what was going to happen, I was so wrong. It’s such an amazing psychological thriller. This was my first book of the author but I’m definitely keeping an eye on her books.

It’s a fast-paced thriller told from different points of view and is kind of a roller-coaster of emotions, in one moment I adore the main characters and the next I hate them which was kind of nice. The twists and turns of this story were one of the highlights of the book.

I recommend this book to all the people who enjoys a good suspense thriller full of intrigues and mystery. But brace yourselves because this is a great scandalous twisted book. I devoured it in just a couple of hours.

Thank you, NetGalley & the publisher, for approving me to read this arc and write this review.

Heart pounding thriller that left me on the edge of my seat. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Definitely one of the best books this year.

When Paige Nichols meets her husband’s glamorous new colleague at a faculty mixer, she instantly knows they’re having an affair. It’s the way he looks at her, like she’s the only woman in the world. Aaron used to look at her like that, too. And with her beautiful, knowing smile, Cara Morton seems to enjoy flaunting their romance right under her nose.

The book is written well enough but some of the scenarios are a little contrived and others seem irrelevant to the story. The story flows along well enough with twists and turns along the way. It’s written from different people’s points of view and chapters are before and after so it gets a little confusing at times but not so bad you can’t keep with the flow. I found it quite boring in places and there is lots of repetition as the different points of view describe the same event. Plus, unfortunately, I guessed most of the twists which are spoon-fed to the reader. Not for me I’m afraid.

7/10

This was a thriller that was absolutely full of twists and turns. Every time I thought I had it figured out it surprised me once again. The thing that I really couldn't get past though that kept it from being truly great is all the incredibly dumb decisions that the supposedly smart (most characters have a PhD) characters kept making. Overall though the story was really entertaining and always kept me on my toes. Also as someone from the Cleveland area myself I enjoyed all the little Cleveland, and just general Ohio, references.

3⭐️

Thank you NetGalley and Storm Publishing for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

This was a busy book! So many story lines and plots ! It was hard to keep track of everything that was going on.
I also feel that the mentioning of race so many times in this book was unnecessary and used for no specific reason.
It was hard for me to connect with any of the characters. None of them was really likeable or relatable.

All in all this was a quick read and kept you guessing right up till the end

This book starts off by a typical husband cheats on wife scenario and then mistress disappears, but it's so much more than that. Everyone has secrets and telling half truths. There's so many twists and turns. Character storylines are intertwined in ways you wouldn't guess.

I couldn't put this book down. I loved the short chapters and the multiple POVs. I honestly had no idea the twists that just kept coming. I would definitely recommend this book for suspense / mystery lovers.

Thank you to Netgalley, Angela Henry, and the publisher for this free ebook ARC. This review is 100% my own and honest opinion.

Wow, was I hooked after the first chapter. If you’re looking for a fast paced thriller, this one is the one for you! i never saw the twists coming and there were SO. MANY. Really enjoyed it this one and would definitely recommend it.
