It was an absolutely fantastic plot! I could not put the book down once I started reading it. I will recommend it to everyone I know!

There was so much going on in this book! I couldn’t put it down. Paige and Aaron are married with twins. Paige is no longer working and Aaron got a promotion at work. The stress of everything gets to him and he starts spending more time with a co-worker named Cara. But when his wife finds out and he breaks it off with Cara, Cara is not happy and decides to get back at them in different ways, like canceling the reservation for the twins birthday party under a fake email she created for Paige. After Paige speaks with her mom, she decides to get back at Cara but she must do some digging first. She finds out that Cara tried ruining another relationship as well. Cara wasn’t happy with Aaron breaking things off so she makes an accusation about him. Is it true? Or is she just playing some game? But now Cara is missing and of course everyone believes Aaron had something to do with it. Is he innocent or has someone else decided to cause trouble and make it seem like Aaron is responsible? Paige has secrets but she knew that Aaron had secrets as well. There were so many twists in this book. I had a hard time putting it down. I would have loved to have finished it one sitting. I would definitely recommend this book! I also got the chance to listen to the audiobook. The narrator did an excellent job! Looking forward to reading more books by Angela.

Thank you NetGalley, Dream Select, Storm Publishing and Angela for the ARC and the audiobook ARC! #ThePerfectAffair

Thank you netgalley for this arc!
Wow! This was a wild ride with all the twists and turns. By far the best thriller I've read in a while, it kept me on the edge of my seat, gasping out loud. The author really has a way of putting you in the story and feeling all the emotions the characters are feeling. I loved the timeline of going before and after from different points of views! I cant wait to read more from this author!

This is my first book by Angela Henry. Domestic psychological thrillers are just my favorite and this didn’t disappoint!

It took me a hot minute to get into it, but then boom and I couldn’t put it down. One thing I love is a great twist and this had several and I definitely didn’t guess any of them beforehand, which makes an awesome book!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for this advanced copy!

Entertaining Read,
The book was well paced.; The twists and turns kept me stealing time as I could between work and regular life. Just when I thought I had it figured out, plot twist! I was really rooting for the happy ending and even though it wasn't quite what I expected, I think it ended just as it should have. I would recommend this book!

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC copy of this book! This book had me hooked as soon as I started! If you like psychological thrillers, you will love this story! The character development between Paige, Aaron and Cara had me loving every second! I thought I knew what was going to happen, but boy was I wrong! The twists and turns had me second guessing myself through the whole book. I highly recommend this book, and can’t wait to read more of Angela’s work!

I just could not get into it.. thanks for the chance to review this one. Tha k you all for the chance to review this

This was a good book but nothing that blew me out of the water. To be honest I think the story started really intriguing but throughout the book the plot started to go off the rails a little bit. There was too much detail which in turn caused the book to feel very long and complicated. I think there was a need to include too much in the story and that took away from what could have been a really good book. It wasnt the worst book I read by any means but not something I would talk about again and again. It was an okay book. I really wanted more from it and wanted less fluff.

Wow. That was a mystery book filled with so many twists it was hard to keep track.

Let me start by saying it was through NetGalley I was given the opportunity from Storm Publishing to read a copy of this book in return for a review. Thank you for trusting me to review a copy.

I am in complete shock. There were so many intricacies and such included into this book. Literally so much was in this book, I’m still reeling from reading it. This book definitely will leave an impression on me.

There were so many layers to each character that you start to feel close to them. There’s always a new secret unraveled and it brings you to wonder where the hell Cara Morton is.

The thing I really loved about this book was how complex everything was and how it all meshed together perfectly. Each perspective left you wondering for more, and I don’t believe there were any plot holes. Every little piece of the plot was answered and then some. It’s so hard to get into everything without spoiling anything because literally each piece of the plot is given into little sprinkles. Each chapter gives us a sprinkle of new information.

I thought I wouldn’t give this book 5 stars because I was disliking the characters, but they start to grow on you and you feel the need to root for them. This book? Anti-heroes. I already feel like saying that within itself is a spoiler.

I recommend going into this book blind, but then again I always tend to go into books blind, maybe with a little bit of what the book entails. I will say though, that this book doesn’t give you a hard time into figuring out what is going on, so it’s a pretty safe book to go into blind.

I will also say, I CALLED IT. I know there were so many twists and turns, but I was glad to see that I was wrong, then correct. Haha this will make no sense to anyone reading this, but it’s a whole process, when each layer of the answers are revealed.

I really did appreciate the diversity in this book. I especially liked that the core characters were black, and that they addressed how black people tend to be treated, especially missing black women. I was so glad to see that there was some LGBTQ+ representation included too. This book was very diverse in different ways and I appreciated all of it, speaking as a person of colour.

Let me also add, that the Key and Peele reference killed me. I think that was my favourite little tidbit of the book.

I feel so refreshed finishing reading this book. I started this in 2023, and now it’s the first book I read in 2024 and I think it’s an amazing start to this year. 5 stars all the way.

Thank you to NetGalley and Storm Publishing for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

4.5⭐️

Starting 2024 off right with this nail biting, who done it, thriller that has you guessing until the very last page!
The Perfect Affair was the perfect book for me to start in 2024 because it was fast paced and addictive. I will be encouraging my friends to read this thriller!

Well done Ms. Henry! Your characters were well developed, your story was unpredictable and I couldn't put this one down! Now...which of her books should I read next because this one is going to be hard to follow!

This was my first Angela Henry book, and it won't be my last.

Aaron Nichols, the new head of the English department, strikes up a friendship with a new member of staff on his team. Turning very quickly into something more.
Before Aaron knows it, Cara is missing and he is suspect number 1.

This book had me guessing all the way through, and not once did I guess how it ended! A fast paced and full of twists and turns you won't see coming!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The cheating husband is always a good one. I really enjoyed the way this one unfolded, moving from each character’s perspective along the way. I didn't really like any of the characters and that usually bothers me. It didn’t in this book because I just had to know how this all connected from the very beginning. I will definitely read another book by this author. Thanks to netgalley for an advance copy.

I was very excited to read this book. While it was good, I did feel it was a little drawn out. The plot was enjoyable and the characters were fine. It was a tad hard to follow sometimes. Over all I would recommend. Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Wow! What a whirl wind of a story. Suspense, edgy and gripping. Literally kept me hooked and second guessing everything.
Managed to read this in a couple of sittings as I did not want to put it down!

I’d like to thank Storm Publishing and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Perfect Affair’ written by Angela Henry in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

At a social function Paige Nichols sees her husband Aaron with his colleague Cara Morton and can tell that if they aren’t already having an affair they soon will be. When Cara mysteriously disappears Aaron is considered to be a suspect but as Paige looks for proof of her husband’s innocence she finds out about Cara’s past and her devious behaviour.

From page one I’ve been gripped by ‘The Perfect Affair’ and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The plot was compelling as the characters narrated the story through their own eyes and with the odd red herring thrown in I was kept guessing as to what had happened to Cara. There was a fair amount of intrigue, drama and suspense throughout and although I got a bit confused with the number of characters involved especially at the end there was a final flurry of twists and turns before I reached the surprising conclusion. This well-written thriller has kept me glued to my Kindle and is the first I’ve read by this author. I’ll definitely be looking out for more novels by her.

The book description sounded very good but I found it just dragged on and on. I wanted it to be good but I just couldn't get into the story. Sadly this one wasn't for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and the pubishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review

I spent NYE curled up with this one because I could not put it down! Paige Nichols meets her husband’s colleague at a faculty mixer. He has just been named department head and she instantly knows something is amiss.
Paige believes Aaron when he says he’ll break things off. But Clara is a woman scorned and she starts making accusations, causing problems and not quietly going away.
Then Cara Morton disappears without a trace.
Everyone is this book has a secret. You will be guessing until the last page! I just reviewed The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry. #ThePerfectAffair #NetGalley

This is the first book I've read by this author. I went into it not knowing what to expect.

I liked the premise of the story. It just felt a little contrived to me. The couple involved in the affair just didn't ring true. They seemed like an unlikely match.

There are a lot of characters in this one. Some were not needed and added to the confusion of the story.

I felt for the wife in the situation but really couldn't connect with anyone very much.

This just wasn't a great one for me. Although plenty of others have really liked the book, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Thanks to netgalley and Storm publishing for the arc.

A very good book but for me, it just had too much going on.

It was definitely a nail-biter novel where when you think you have it all figured out, you are sure to be rudely informed that you don't.

I am a big thriller fan and this was a very decent story. I had never read a book from this author before so I was not sure what to expect. I will definitely read another story from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley & Storm Publishing for this ARC!

Paige meets her husband’s college at a work function and instantly knows they are having an affair. The way he looks at her, the way they act with each other.

Paige gives Aaron chance to break things off with Cara, he agrees, but then she goes missing - is Aaron the one to blame?

This book is full of twists and turns, having you change your mind frequently on who you think is to blame. Then bam the ending takes one final twist that we didn’t see coming

My final read of 2023 has left on a high, highly recommended
