A Review: Happily Married by Victoria Jenkins


 Happily Married

By Victoria Jenkins 

Psychological Thriller published on May 11, 2023 by Bookouture

Happily Married is a 257 pages thriller read that will let you ponder and question the book title when you read the first few chapters. Happily Married is a story of Natalie and Jake, a married couple living in a farm. Everything seems perfect until the day when Natalie feels like Jake is cold toward her. She then confirmed that her husband, whom she knew almost the rest of her life was having an affair. You will never guess what will happen next.

Then came the confrontation and the revelations of secrets that will change her life forever. Will she be able to survive everything? or will she be left with nothing? 

I was confused at first due to multiple pov and some books usually put who's pov it is but as I read through it I figured why it is that way! There's always an answer in every thriller book. And I totally enjoyed reading and intrigued as I figure out the characters at the start of part 2. How all those second guessing were all wrong after all. The ending is kinda cliffhanger, and I think maybe theirs a sequel book, hope so. Despite everything I'm happy with the way the story ends.

Rating: 3 stars

(Would like to take this opportunity to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARCs.)

Review: Leave No Trace

Leave No Trace by A.J. Landau My rating: 4 of 5 stars Leave No Trace by A.J. Landau is packed with action, some thrilling moments and a big mystery for these agents to solve. I didn't know an investigator for the Natl Parks Service was a thing but now I do, and we have one as the main character here. Michael and Gina who works hand in hand to solve these mystery. I loved the representation of the Statue of Liberty mentioned at the end of the book. Also I loved how they put glimpse of historical background before the chapters. I unexpectedly enjoyed this fast paced thrilling novel. Will totally recommend it to my action thriller book lover friends! View all my reviews
