Olivia Campbell is married, has A beautiful home, financial security ,,, she also has secrets.

But she's not the only one ..... finding a journal in her husband's study, she discovers that he also has secrets he has kept from her.

When a young girl goes missing, she becomes embroiled into the investigation. The things she discovers are only coincidences .... or are they? Does she really want to know?

This was not as suspenseful as what I was suspecting, but there are a few twists and turns to keep things interesting. The characters are finely drawn.

We all have secrets and we all eat lies when our hearts get hungry. However, Olivia is finding it hard to swallow this whooper of a secret. As Sick As Our Secrets, is a dark, gnarly and lurid read that leaves you feeling unhinged.

As Sick As Our Secrets, immediately draws you in with “What would you do if you found out your husband was a serial killer?” Poor Olivia, it seems her husband - her knight in shining armor, you could say, was really just a sick psychopath wrapped in aluminum foil!

As Sick As Our Secrets, is a shocking, addictive page-turner. Whelan mixes up a tasty, terrifying tonic of a tale that leaves you drunk but still thirsty for more. 5 stars❤️ yet another favorite!

“When you keep lying to everybody, even to yourself, the lies become part of you, like a tumor or cancer that spreads and grows inside of you, making you sick.”

Olivia has a nice comfortable life with a smart , handsome rich husband who runs a charitable organization The Good Samaritan. Ashley is a struggling ,alcoholic psychologist who is trying to making it on her own and Betty is a bored housewife married to a cop trying to find some excitement in her life.The three friends paths cross when Ashley’s patient Skyler goes missing and her purse is found in Olivia's husbands car but trying to find the killer that’s so close to home might be tougher than they imagined.

After loving A.B. Whelan’s 14 days to die I was looking forward to this one and it did not disappoint. A dark , psychological thriller emphasizing on the three women’s friendship with great characters and a gripping suspense makes it a compelling read .

I would like to thank InMotion Capitol & NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

Olivia has a tortured, literally, past and has married a handsome, successful man who is giving her everything that she could ever want. But Richard's shiny veneer hides a dark secret that she never expected. Something having to do with a secret room in their house that he keeps under lock and key. Something to do with women disappearing and found, naked.......dead. When Olivia notices a woman's scarf under her husband's car, then finds her purse in the trunk, she begins to unravel Richard's secrets. Aided by her Ashley, an alcohol-soaked psychiatrist, and Betty, a housewife and wife of a local police officer, Olivia begins to unearth disturbing connections between the dead women and her husband's non-profit organization. Abused herself, Olivia is determined to find out the truth....even if it puts her own life and those of her friends at risk. 
This is a great story of triumph over the past and the bonding of women together to find justice and ultimately peace.

This book is incredible - as in not credible. For the first third of the book, which is all I read, we have two main characters, Olivia who is married to the controlling Richard, and Ashley, a psychiatrist just starting out. The voices of these two characters is much too similar and if there wasn't the heading of their name on each chapter, it would be difficult to tell them apart. As a psychiatrist Ashley is particularly ludicrous. While I don't have a problem with a psychiatrist being a sexual deviant and drug addict, I do find it unbelievable that a psychiatrist would break doctor/patient confidentiality with the first patient of her career, aggressively question her and use ungrammatical speech. Psychiatrists and psychologists are not interchangeable terms. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who have studied for a number of additional years to their six years of medicine to specialise in their field. Psychiatrists can therefore prescribe drugs while psychologists cannot. It therefore takes many years, over a decade, for a psychiatrist to practise and they are bound by the strict code of ethics that applies to doctors. They have invested a huge amount of time in money, training and study to undertake this career and as highly educated people I have never heard one speak in the parlance of the uneducated masses. The behaviour of Ashley simply does not fit with her profession. As a highly skilled communicator, it is unbelievable that she would pressurise and aggressively interrogate a victim of sexual assault. Getting the characterisation right is imperative in fiction but this left me feeling that either the author under researched or let the plot stretch the realms of credulity.

As Sick as Our Secrets opens with a killer's perspective. This opening grabbed my attention and I was excited to keep reading. But then the story is told through the narratives of 3 women. Olivia, an immigrant trophy wife who is lonely and really doesn't like her husband. Ashley, a drug addict just starting her career as a psychologist. And Betty, a mother and a cop's wife who seems bored at home. Friends, kind of, but each with their own secrets. Ashley thinks her patient was held captive by the Fifty Shades Killer. Now missing, she enlists the help from her friends to find her patient. As they uncover more clues, Olivia thinks her husband could be the infamous serial killer.

I thought the all 3 women were unlikable and the story moved along slowly. There was no wow factor. I kept thinking there has to be a big twist in the end. Sadly the ending was just long and drawn out.

Thank you to NetGalley and InMotion Capitol for supplying me a copy of A.B. Whelan's "As Sick as Our Secrets" in exchange for an honest review.
