Wow this book had me skipping forward in anticipation and backward to check what I’d missed or overlooked. A great read, one I would read again and an author I will have to look up to read previous books.

Ohh wow this was my first read from this author and wow I love it. I know as soon as I read that first chapter and I was going to be in for a rollercoaster of a read which wow it did not let up from start to finish I was gripped. There was many jaw dropping twists which I did not see coming. I really liked the writing style and how it was told from dual perspective which I think helped build up the suspense. Verity Thinks she has the perfect marriage but has anyone got the perfect marriage. The book was full of secrets and so many twists and turns. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone fantastic book. Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Verity's husband has been found murdered and she soon finds out that her picture perfect marriage isn't what she seemed.

I love these kind if reads. It always amazes me how spouses never really know there other halves and Verity is no exception.

There are twists twists and more twist and more than once the author takes down us down a road only to change direction and makes the reader gasp,

It is quite a brilliant read.

This book had me on edge the entire time and I just COULD NOT put it down! So brilliantly done and full of jaw dropping twists. It had me gripped from the first page and I stayed up until 4am to finish it. The ending blew my mind. This one is going to be a huge hit!! Dandy Smith is officially an automatic read author for me now!

**Book Review: *The Wedding Vow* by Dandy Smith**

I had the opportunity to read *The Wedding Vow* by Dandy Smith as an advanced reader copy (ARC) through NetGalley, and I’m so glad I did. This book combines the intrigue of a thriller with the emotion of a love story, creating a compelling narrative that kept me hooked from start to finish.

The story is told from two points of view, flipping between Verity, the wife of Linden, who is found dead at the beginning of the book, and another character whose perspective I won’t spoil. I really enjoyed the dual narrative, as it gave the story depth and kept the suspense high. The alternating viewpoints allowed for a deeper understanding of both characters and made the twists and turns even more effective.

There were plenty of secrets, and while I was able to guess one of them, the ending completely surprised me. The author did an excellent job keeping me engaged throughout, and I finished the book in just a couple of days.

That said, I did hit a bit of a snag toward the end. There was a section where I started getting a little confused, and I had to really focus to keep track of the details. Despite this, the twists were worth the extra concentration, and the final payoff was rewarding.

Overall, *The Wedding Vow* is a thrilling, fast-paced read with a touch of romance. I’d definitely recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers and love stories. My only minor issue was the confusion near the end, which is why I’m giving it 4/5 stars, but it’s still a book I’d happily recommend!

All opinions are my own.

I ended up skimming this for the most part as previous reviews gave me the entire story. Verity’s husband dies and she finds out all these secrets about him. While the ending was a shock, it wasn’t super interesting to me.

Wow wow wow

What a wild exhilarating ride this book was. Verity’s husband has been murdered and a year later while trying to put her life back together she discovers he had been having an affair.

I couldn’t put it down. It’s told from 2 POV and the tension is upheld excellently from both sides. It’s truly an excellent read

Wow, thankyou NetGalley & Embla books for this arc copy.

Synopsis

Lyndon & Verity are happily married or that is what it seems to the blind eye. Secrets unfold when Lyndon is murdered and it turns out he isn’t as perfect as he seemed.

My review

This took me through a turmoil, Lyndon count your days 😂in all seriousness I loved this book the POV from the wife and mistress really showcased the deception of the husband. You find yourself trying to work out who was the mistress and was it someone verity knew who was close to her. As secrets unfold you think you’ve discovered everything possible but no the twist keeps you reeling and wanting more i loved this book and it gave a satisfying ending and conclusion

I’ve recently found Dandy Smith and she’s quickly becoming a new favorite for me. Her latest, The Wedding Vow was amazing!

She is the perfect wife. He is the perfect liar. Verity and Linden Lockwood vowed to spend the rest of their lives together, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do they part. Five years later they've kept their promise to never let their love die, to never slip into becoming one of those couples.... But a year after Linden is brutally and inexplicably murdered in their picture perfect home, Verity's world shatters again. They're not the golden couple she thought they were. Linden betrayed her: he had been having an affair! Ooooooh fabulous twists in this book!! Great read! It had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a fantastic who done it and some shocking twists I didn’t see coming! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
