Wow! I absolutely loved this book by new author, JM Dalgliesh! Homewrecker had me hooked from the first chapter all the way through to the very last page. I can honestly say that I dove myself almost as crazy as the main character, Sophie, trying to figure out what was really going on! The reveal in the final chapter really was the icing on the cake! I am definitely looking forward to reading more books from this author in the future!

This book was quite a roller coaster ride with twists, turns, and an unexpected ending.

The characterization was well done with actions that showed how the characters felt and dealt with the turmoil. It was easy to like the main character Sophie and feel she was definitely being pushed to the brink by those around her.

While the ending tied things up, I didn't really like it, but it did tie things up. I think there might have been a better way to handle one of the characters.

Wow what a book this story really messed with my head as I was not expecting the ending at all. I had worked out one thing but the rest just blew me away. This is well worth a read but is very hard to explain without ruining the story but we meet Sophie a TV presenter who seems to have it all, the high flying husband and two perfect children but when her daughter gets expelled from school things seem to fall apart and her perfect world is coming apart at the seams. Add in the new tutor for her daughter as the school won’t take her back and Sophie is convinced she wants to take over her life. Don’t miss this one!

Found the book pretty slow up until the last ~25%. There was nothing that really caught my attention per se. I felt for Sophie the whole time, but was pretty surprised with Scott at the end.

WOW what a wild read this was. I was gripped from the first page until the very last and what an ending it was really didn’t see that coming. It was a very well written thriller with well developed characters that my heart was racing at the ending wondering what was going to happen. I loved the many twists and turns and as I said before wow what a shocking ending. I will definitely be recommending this I think this may be my favourite book so far this year. Thank u

Never judge a book by it's cover and I am not talking about an actual book in this case, but about people.

The most charming and loving person on the outside can have the most rotten center and someone you think you have to keep in your sight, might be someone who has your best interests at heart. 

Sometimes someone sees something you don't and in order to help you, they have to 'hurt' you first, because if they would talk to you about it, you would think they were not telling the truth. Sometimes they have to open your eyes the hard way.

When I start a new book, the author gives me some information for my mind to work with and it starts wandering down a certain path. The question is though: is this the path the author wants me to follow or do they suddenly want me to throw everything I thought I knew overboard and make me reprogram by thinking process...

A great story and great characters make for a very enjoyable read. 5 stars

Thank you
