THE OTHER WOMAN BY SANDIE JONES BOOK REVIEW
This is the exact type of book I need when I am chilling at the pool. The Other Woman by Sandie Jones is steamy, fast-paced & thrilling & I loved it!

MEET PAMMIE
Emily is living her life with glasses of wine, quiet nights at home & work. Then she meets Adam & falls down a rabbit hole of love. Things are going well, so she meets his mother, Pamela.

Oh, Pammie. She’s a nasty bitch. We’ve all come across those people who smile while cutting you down & Pammie is the Queen! She pulls some crazy stunts & I ate it up with a spoon. What can I say, I love drama! And this is fun, crazy drama!



SOMETHING IS UP WITH PAMMIE
Pammie is golden in Adam’s eyes, so Emily has to tread lightly. Pammie constantly spins all conversations in her favor & it’s obvious to me she’s got some sort of secret hidden. Like, what happened with Adam’s ex-girlfriend? What’s the deal with Adam’s brother? Why does Adam have to rush to his mother’s side at any moment? Is he really a doting son or does Pammie hold something over him? These are all the questions running through my head!

THE VERDICT
I am Really Into This book! The Other Woman is the first book from Sandie Jones & I need more of her writing in my life. Summer was made for books like The Other Woman. Grab this book, a beach towel & a pina colada & you’re bound to have fun!

Special thanks to Sandie Jones, Minotaur Books & NetGalley for providing our free copy in exchange for an honest & fair review.

When Emily meets Adam, she never expects to hear from him again but then he calls. He's tall, dark, handsome and successful and wants to see her again. They soon become inseparable and it's time to meet the parents. Or, in Adam's case, the mother (his father has passed away). Almost immediately upon meeting Adam's mother, Pammie, Emily feels wrong footed. A photo album has been placed surreptitiously on the coffee table, and pictures of Adam's ex, Jennifer, are dispersed throughout. As their relationship gets more serious, Pammie's attempts to interfere become more overt, although Adam remains oblivious. In order to save their relationship, and prove that his mother is trying to come between them, Emily only succeeds in gaining Adam's contempt and starts to wonder about her own sanity.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for my review.

This book is about complicated relationships which features Pammie the mother in law and Emily the future daughter in law and girlfriend of Adam the son. This is a well written story which starts off as an almost "chick lit" to a full blown psychological thriller. This book was well written with very good character development This book kept me reading into the night and it was a fantastic read . I urge you to read this book you will not be disappointed.

This book is not what you think. I thought I had it all figured out and then everything changed!

Merging families is always tough, but this story took it ten steps further. A great reminder that people are not always who they seem to be. Fantastic writing that kept me interested, even when I thought it was predictable. The characters were well developed and had a depth that many other stories lack. I was invested until the very end.

Good characters with a seemingly mundane story. Good twist that makes the pace worth the read. You should always get to know family before getting married . . .

Very interesting thriller. Surprised me several times through out the story. Can’t wait to read more from this author. Netgalley made it able to enjoy this page turner. Loved all the twists and turns. Glad this wasn’t happing in my life 😳

This book - was so flipping good. The characters were very wellwritten The plot was sooooo good. There were so many red. herrings, twists and turns.
At first I thought it was going to be a Lifetime Movie of the week book - but it was so much more.

Nothing is as it seems. Nobody is who they really are. Omg!!!!! Do yourself a favor and read this book. You will not be disappointed. I would like to thank NetGalley, Sandie Jones and the Publisher for the privilege of receiving an ARC in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.

I felt like this book started a bit slow for me but I kept reading thankfully! The characters were great and I found myself loving and hating them. Just when I thought I had it all figured out another twist was thrown at me. It was a very enjoyble book. I'll be sure to watch for more from this author.

The Other Woman by Sandie Jones is easily a five-star crazy intense psycho-thriller and an absolute page-turner. This one of those books that on a rainy day pull it off the shelf curl up and just devour. What happens when Emily & Adam met and fall in love? Well, everything is going great until Emily meets Adam’s mom Pammie and that’s when everything goes wrong! Pammie is straight up having NONE of this relationship and is doing everything within her power to sabotage their budding relationship. I don’t want to give anything away other than, the ending you won’t see coming & you can definitely eat this gem up in a day. I look forward to devouring future works from Ms. Jones. I received an advance copy thanks to NetGalley & Ms. Jones in exchange for an honest review

For the most part, I like the book, however areas in it were slow and seemed more like fluff. With that being said, it was an interesting read that I would recommend to friends who are looking for a different genre to try.

Do you ever find yourself desperately wanting to reach through the pages of a book and throttle a character? Shake them and yell, "Wake the hell up!!" That pretty much sums up how I felt through the entire reading of The Other Woman.

Emily meets a man, Adam, and falls in love. She thinks he's perfect, despite his conniving mother who wants Emily out of the way.

There were many, many signs from the beginning that Emily just didn't "see". This made the story a bit unbelievable for me. A woman so blinded by her perception of love that she misses the big flashing warning signs telling her to run away and never look back. Maybe I've forgotten what that sort of new love feels like, maybe I'm too "old" to connect with that way of thinking. Regardless, I just wanted to smack this character.

Often I don't look at reviews before I read a book, however I did this time. Several people shouted from the rooftops that this book radiated LifeTime Movie beams of light. And I couldn't agree more. I loathe lifetime movies but have sat through many with my nana. She tents to forget what the plot is half way through. So, for her, the ending is always a surprise and the wow factor is there making her gasp with each new revelation. For me, I roll my eyes and mutter, "I knew it...". The joke is...I could have wrote it. There were no surprises in the ending of The Other Woman. No wow factor, no gasps of surprise.

I can say that the book moved quickly and was easy to read. Sandie Jones writing is clean and easy to navigate. The story flowed smoothly and I can't ask for much more than that as far as writing goes. For that reason, I'm giving it three stars because hey, someone may be shocked at the ending. It just wasn't me.

Thank you to Minotaur books and netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC of The Other Woman!
This book is very fast paced and I actually liked that about it. None of the chapters were very long and it kept me hooked most of the time. I’m giving it three stars because none of the characters are very likable. Even when everything comes out at the end you just kind of roll your eyes at the whole thing. Everyone was pretty much selfish and petty and communication from the very beginning would have solved everyone’s troubles. Once again a family drama book made to look like a mystery.

The Other Woman is a classic monster-in-law story with a twist. Emily falls head over heels for Adam, but the feelings she has for Adam's mother, Pammie, lean more towards hate than love. Pammie goes out of her way to make Emily's life miserable and keep her out of her precious son's life. This book will keep you up late flipping page after page until the astonishing ending is revealed. This is one you will want to go back and read again to pick up on the clues that you missed. Although this is a common plot, the outcome definitely dishes out the surprise factor.

Twisted and great!! There is nothing a mother would not do for her child, including pinning herself in between her son and his love. Addictive page Turner of a mother doing everything in her power to separate Adam and Emily. It is a book that once you pick it up it is utterly hard to put down.

This thriller will have you guessing…and then guessing again. As Emily falls in love, then fights for her happily-ever-after, she takes on a series of challenges that culminate in her fighting for her life and the life of the love of her life.

When Emily meets Adam, things seem perfect…until she meets his family. His mother Pammie and brother James complicate the relationship between Emily and Adam, but they forge forward, becoming engaged and planning a wedding and a future. But things aren’t as they seem and Pammie puts Emily in some awkward situations. She learns about Adam’s former fiancée and starts questioning what part her future mother-in-law played in how that relationship ended.

You will find yourself turning the pages compulsively as the protagonists lock horns, the climax coming down to a final battle between life and death.

I hope Ms. Jones is hard at work on her next novel because fans will be eagerly awaiting what she gives us next!

It started out slow but for the most part I enjoyed this book. I didn't see the twists and turns which is always a plus. Thank you #NetGalley for the ARC. I look forward to what's next for this author.

Amazing!!! Kept me on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time!!! 5 Stars!!!!! I always love a story where there is a crazy female role, and goodness if this wasn’t just that!!!

I enjoyed this psychological thriller, but found it to be a bit predictable. The first part of the book read too much like a romance novel for me. Without giving anything away, I would have preferred to have the author start revealing relevant tidbits about the main characters a bit earlier, using more of that time to build suspense. joyed this psychological thrilled, but found it to be a bit predictable.

This book was AWESOME! Gripping! Total page turner! Completely unexpected from the title with a GREAT plot twist at the end!!

I received a copy of THE OTHER WOMAN from St. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the publisher and author.

Five stars and here's why:

I cried. I laughed. I screamed. And then, I called my mother-in-law just to tell her how much I love and appreciate the woman she truly is!!

THE OTHER WOMAN invite showed up in my inbox. THANK YOU ST. MARTIN’S PRESS and SANDIE JONES. I loved the premise and the book cover rocks. It’s a given when you pick up St. Martin’s Press story, that you’ll be in for wild ride and boy, did the author deliver. So, I lost an entire day glued to this book. Serious book hanger because Sandie Jones pulled me in from the first page.

One second and your life can change forever. Emily and Adam meet in a bar and soon their love blossoms. The only issue: he’s got a mother who’s determined to keep them apart. Things happen that will make your head spin and set your nerves on fire.

Be prepared to lose track of time reading this book. Sandie Jones delivers a gut-punch. It’s been several days and I’m still thinking about the story. Highly recommend!
