It felt like very little was actually happening and it s all just so heavy on the character based narrative which isn t for me Its well written and such but I just need things to actually happen and not just a bunch of people all hinting at things all the time It all got a bit frustrating lol There are so many domestic thrillers about the secrets between husbands and their wife s that I do think it has to be exceptional to stand out in that niche and this one just didn t 1839015713 This is a super slow burn mystery thriller It is heavy on internal psychological dialogue There is very little interpersonal interaction Definitely good if you re looking for a slower style read I did not connect with any of the characters but in this book that didn t seem to bother me It had a feeling of being almost removed from the story Unfortunately I could see the twist coming from a mile away But it would be hard not to in this type of story I received a ARC of this book.

Thanks for the ARC. The supernatural storyline kept me reading but the characters were unlikeable and the ending anticlimactic 1839015713 A so so read about a couple who move to England Rob gets a chance to teach at university while Jacey gets to stay home at Malin house Strange sounds and appearances start to rattle Jacey Old curses and rumors abound that are tied to Jacey s grandmother Elements of The Shining are scattered about This was not my cup of tea. Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read and review 1839015713 I Really liked this one Gave proper creepy vibes throughout with a haunted house a curse and the little boy Got to admit it.

It had me on the edge of my seat at times It was good how the Author brought it all together at the end of the book and it was not what I was expecting Will definitely recommend this book to people A great read. 4 stars 1839015713 Jacey and Rob have to move to England for year to stay in a creepy castle because Rob can t seem to figure out how to proceed in life Jacey has a good sense of humor and seems fun Rob is basically the worst Perfect Ten pages in and I wanted to leave Rob I actually feel traumatized from dealing with Rob I loved the ending The setting was perfect I love Rael 1839015713 A very good book 1839015713 .

The Perfect Couple an addictive psychological thriller with a shocking twistI was given the chance to read this book prior to its release date I give this book 5 stars It is full of twists and keeps you on the edge of your seat When Jacey s husband Rob gets a job across the world she goes with him to support her She soon realizes that she is lonely living in a haunted Mansion What is that she is hearing Can Rob hear it too or does he make her believe she is going crazy She met some new friends but are they really friends or do they just want to know about her ancestors Can she get away from it all or will she go completely crazy Did Rob marry or live or something different Get your copy soon 1839015713 I really wanted to love this but unfortunately I just didn t the start was slow and I just kept hoping it would get better but for me it didn t Don t get me wrong I think it is well written and there are going to be people who really enjoy it but for me it lacked any real plot and the excitement factor you look for in a thriller Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books Lume Books for the opportunity to review this book 1839015713 Jacey and Rob have been married for almost 8 years Rob is an arrogant cocky prick and Jacey is docile and has low self esteem so what a couple they make They move to England when Rob accepts a teaching job at a university and one of the perks is they get to live in a mansion from the late 1800 s that the university own for its professors from abroad As soon as they move in Jacey starts experiencing weird feelings hearing weird sounds and seeing strange things She learns the house has a dark history She also befriends some odd people in town and the she gets to know them the she doesn t know what to believe All the while suspecting her husband is having an affair Between the house and her husband both giving off dark cold and ominous vibes what s really happening It s definitely worth reading This was a dark and semi suspenseful thriller Some parts of the novel were predictable but somethings were a surprise All in all I give this book 4 stars because I felt that the ending was rushed 1839015713 I m kind if in the fence about this one Its a short easy read but it s such a slow burn that it felt like it was just never getting started or getting to the actual point I struggled to get into it A lot The characters didn t interest me.
