The Hunting Wives

I actually had a fun time reading this book, but there are some major flaws that cause me to knock off a couple stars.

For starters, you have to get past the ick factor. I won't give away any spoilers, but you might want to look into them if you don't have a high tolerance for inappropriate relationships.

Secondly, the main character is dumb as a box of rocks and could have figured out the entire situation if she would have just used her brain for 3 minutes. I was almost literally yelling at her through parts of the book.

Lastly, I'm getting very tired of the housewife who drinks too much trope. It's seriously exhausting and not interesting. An unreliable narrator due to alcohol does not automatically make a thriller.

Oh, and some of the writing is absolutely abysmal.

Thanks to Berkley and NetGalley for the e-ARC and the opportunity to read and review early.

This book... phew. It's an experience. If you're looking for a juicy thriller that's like Desperate Housewives gone shooting in the woods with layers of obsession, wealth, and destruction, this is one to add to your list. It's completely unbelievable but it's a page turner. Also great for fans of The Flight Attendant show on HBO!

This was a meh book. I hated all the Hunting Wives but particularly the main character Sophie. I thought all the decisions she made were irrational and self destructive so she deserved the position she was in. 

There were a few twists but nothing mind blowing. I predicted who the killer was about halfway through. 

This is rich people drama at its finest. If you are into that kind of thing pick this up cause it was still an entertaining read overall, just didn't like the characters but I guess that was the point of the book.
