This book had me on the edge of my seat. I just devoured it every chance I got, wanting more. There were twists and turns where I didn’t expect twists and turns. I enjoyed all the intertwining of the characters.
This book does change perspectives. It would bounce from character to character, past to present, each chapter. There were a few chapters that had more than one point of view. But it was easy to follow
Rebecca falls in love with a married man, ends up marrying him....then can’t believe it when he cheats on her almost 20 years later. She starts spiraling out of control with her prescription pill addiction. She doesn’t know what’s real and what’s in her mind. Every thing that happens as the story goes on makes her lose even more of a grip on reality.
Paul had been a successful businessman until the house market crash. Over time, he becomes more and more depressed and distant. Trying to make himself feel like a man again, he turns to a woman in his neighborhood. Starting an affair with a woman that he knows little to nothing about is bad enough, but for her to be a neighbor?! I can’t decide if that was ballsy or incredibly dumb....or both.

While I enjoyed the book overall (for the most part), the ending was just disappointing. I’m not sure what I was expecting but it definitely wasn’t that. It almost felt like the author was nearing the deadline and had to wrap it up quickly. I was left with a few questions. There were pieces of the story that weren’t explained. Or if they were, I somehow missed it. Had this book had a different ending, it would be minimum 3 stars, possibly 4 stars.

YES, thriller fans rejoice!!! We have a winner!!

This book is freaking fantastic. Stop, drop what you’re doing and go grab this book! It has all the makings of my favorite thriller/suspense. A suspicious and unreliable couple, short chapters, multiple narrators, and a race to see who digs their own grave first. I gobbled this up in a couple of sittings. I love the collaboration between two authors (a publishing professional and a screenwriter) and can’t wait to see what they have in-store for us next.

Rebecca and Paul both come from difficult pasts but their marriage seems to work until Paul decides to cheat on his wife. The affair soon turns out to be the big mistake for Paul and things quickly spiral out of control. Rebecca is a HOT mess and due to her opiate addiction, she can’t seem to keep anything straight.

Devious, addictive and manipulative this is one for the tip top of your TBRs.

I received an ARC of this novel from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Paul and Rebecca are the perfect couple and ultimately get exactly what they deserve. Fun book with a satisfying ending.

I received a DIGITAL Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lately, it seems like the psychological thriller genre is over saturated. The plots are the same, and so many try to have "that twist" that will leave you awestruck. I believe that was the intention with The Woman Inside. It has it all, lies, deceit, love, stalking, and revenge. The story took a while to reel me in It started off slow. It's told by the POV of both Rebecca and Paul (think Gone Girl).

I can't get into specifics without giving away the plot points so I won't. Overall it was a good read. It will make you think of your own relationships, and what's real/fake. There were a few holes in the story but the ending made up for it. I'd recommend The Woman Inside for a good, quick read.

A thrilling suspense.! The Woman Inside continued to take twists and turns and kept me turning pages. The main characters were not likable, due to their deplorable acts, deep rooted narcism, and lack of morals, Yet, the final moments in their twisted love affair were heart wrenching to see play out . The final moment was genius and wrapped up this twisted story perfectly. A solid 4 star read!

I've read a lot of thrillers, and here's the thing-you can't just have an interesting twist. The character development in this book is abysmal. Paul, the husband, is so one-dimensional. Rebecca is slightly better but not much. Then, you get to the twist, and I wasn't really impressed. Honestly, it's a bit unbelievable to me. I HATED the ending (though some people will really love it, I'm sure). The one thing I will say is it was a fast read. There are just so many better thrillers out there. I'd pass on this one.

This was one of the betters books I've read in a while! The plot line, characters, deception, lies, sneaking around all led to a storyline I got sucked into and couldn't put down. Just when I thought I might know how it was going to end, I got another twist! It was an enjoyable, easy read.

3, maybe 3.5 stars? My first thought is that i’m left feeling underwhelmed at the ending. There were never any huge, shocking reveals or plot twists, which is what you would expect from a thriller, right?

Okay, let’s talk characters. Pretty much everyone in this book is just a shitty person. I found myself rooting for the cops, who are working against everyone else throughout the book. So I don’t know what to think about that.

This was definitely interesting and something kept my attention enough for me to read the whole thing whether it was the writing style, the plot, or both, but nothing ever blew me away. And the ending was just...meh.

I did enjoy the different POVs throughout, which I thought would have started to annoy me after a while. And I liked the quick changes of POV between the two main characters at the climax. That was cool.

I didn’t hate this book, but I didn’t love it either. It was creative, but the main female character, Rebecca is so utterly unlikable and the massive level of suspension of disbelief that is required to go along with how she gets herself wrapped around the axle just makes this book ridiculous on some levels. A simple conversation with her husband would have unraveled the plot in about 30 minutes. I can’t imagine a 20 year marriage, given that they are each other’s “perfect match” would have disintegrated to this degree to the point where a properly worded question wouldn’t have sparked a conversation. Enter the deranged mistress that has the come alive from the dead qualities of a veritable Jason Vorhees. I enjoy a good thriller as much as the next person, but I like a little believability with mine. This book was pretty out there for me.

The Woman Inside reads like a really bad novelization of a limited Netflix/Hulu/AMC/etc. series that I would probably enjoy.

The woman inside is an exquisite thriller told from the points of view of the husband and the wife. The plot is convincing and the characters are believable and well developed. This book was hard for me to put down and when I did take a break I continued to think about what was happening in the book. This is one of the best thrillers I’ve read lately. I has a great ending. I highly recommend it. My thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you NetGalley, E.G. Scott and Penguin Group Dutton for the free e-book in exchange for an honest review.

Rebecca didn’t believe in love until she met Paul, a married man with a past that is as dark as her own. They sensed that that they were each other’s perfect match. Twenty years later, Paul and Rebecca are struggling to keep their relationship alive throughout all the secrets and damage. Paul is cheating on Rebecca with a slightly unstable lady and it goes bad fast. His mistress is stalking them both and Rebecca discovers Paul’s plan to build a new life without her. Rebecca’s pill usage is getting out of control, but she comes up with a plan of her own to get back at her husband.

I found the first half of this novel dragged a bit for me, but you hit that half way mark and suddenly I couldn’t put it down and I was shocked over and over and over. The last half is crazy fast paced and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat. I was surprised by how quickly I devoured this half of the novel! I really didn’t like either character, but that totally worked for this novel. I found the relationship between Paul and Rebecca very convoluted, but it did keep me interested in the novel. The ending to this novel was completely jaw dropping and I really didn’t see it coming at all! I really enjoyed this domestic thriller and all the different little elements that affected Rebecca and Paul’s relationship because it is never one thing that tears apart a relationship. I also appreciated that the authors discussed opioid abuse because it is a problem in the world we live in today. I would definitely recommend this novel and push through all the background to get into the amazing, jaw dropping second half!

Out January 22nd

This book was ok in some parts, but it was difficult to read. That text was all over the place and throughout the book, weird numbers were just thrown in and the title/authors of the book where randomly throwing in within sentences/paragraphs. It made for some confusion In the storyline.
I absolutely hated the ending.

I usually love thrillers but this book was just not for me. It was very hard to get in to and I felt there was just a lot of holes in the story and it did become confusing at times. I had really high hope going into this book and was really let down.

Thank you to Netgalley and Dutton for an ARC of this title to preview before the publication date of January 22, 2019. Rebecca and Paul’s marriage is spiraling due to her opioid addiction and his infidelity. When Paul breaks it off, his mistress stalks Paul and Rebecca with evermore aggression and terrifying ways.
Not only is this story told from Paul and Rebecca’s viewpoint, but also from two detectives working on a relevant case. Those detectives were the most likeable of the entire lot. The rest of the cast didn’t display any redeeming qualities, which made it hard for me to read. There were also a couple slips in credibility. Both those flaws caused me to give the book four stars.

Still, I would read another thriller by this author. He or she has a little work to do to make his or her plots more believable.

A rather dark look into a world of love, lust, money and drugs. An interesting read that may captivate many. Yet, a bit wordy. Strong character development and a solid plot - if nota bit verbose at times. The story heats up just when the reader may think it's about to end!


Many thanks to Penguin Dutton and NetGalley for an entertaining read.

If a picture is worth a thousand words then this cover says a ton. I love it! The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott was a great story that kept me turning the pages quickly. Things that I didn’t expect plus an unreliable narrator and spouses who don’t trust each other, its all a recipe for a book that you won’t want to put down.

Check it out:



Rebecca didn’t know love was possible until she met Paul, a successful, charismatic, married man with a past as dark as her own. Their pain drew them together with an irresistible magnetism; they sensed that they were each other’s ideal (and perhaps only) match.

But twenty years later, Paul and Rebecca are drowning as the damage and secrets that ignited their love begin to consume their marriage. Paul is cheating on Rebecca, and his affair gets messy fast. His mistress is stalking them with growing audacity when Rebecca discovers Paul’s elaborate plan to build a new life without her. And though Rebecca is spiraling into an opiate addiction, it doesn’t stop her from coming up with a devious plot of her own, and this one could end absolutely everything.

What follows is an unpredictable and stylish game of cat and mouse—a shocking tale of unfaithfulness and unreliability that will keep you racing until the final twist and make you wonder how well you really know your spouse.



Rebecca takes so many pills throughout the course of the book, I don’t know how she functioned! I do love a character who has issues and is utterly imperfect … like real life.

I’m sure this will be a hugely popular book when it hits the shelves in January 2019.

Holy s*#*t did this book keep me guessing! If you're looking for a book that grabs you and makes you question if you really know what is going on, this is the one for you! The Woman Inside by E.G. Scott, the prologue draws you in for the ride of your life, the story as it is told by Rebecca and Paul snag your interest as Rebecca spirals down into pill overload growing more paranoid and questioning of her sanity while Paul is busy trying to get the gift of a lifetime done in time and Sheila.....Paul's little affair with her might bring the whole thing crumbling down.... Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Random House for allowing me to read this ARC book and give my honest opinion.

The woman inside by author E.G Scott is an intense domestic thriller told from a wife and husbands point of view, with a couple of other POVs that really make the book. Characters are well developed and the plot is solid. I was completely sucked into this book from the start and it kept me there, head full of thoughts about everything going on in the book (so easy to follow though)! You question the characters and their motives just to be proven so wrong. Ends with a BANG for sure. One of the best books I’ve read lately, a true psychological thriller! I can’t recommend The Woman’s Inside enough!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for an arc copy of The Woman Inside in exchange for an honest review.

Holy cow!! What an intense, strange, and crazy ride this book is. Definitely will not be able to realize what is real and not, so definitely not going to figure this one out until the author wants you to. Absolutely chilling, thrilling, and taunt! Will be highly recommending and yearning for more by this author.
Will be using in my daily challenges, reviewing, and overall buzzing up this book in Chapter Chatter Pub.
