Dead To Her by Sarah Pinborough is a sultry domestic thriller full of gold-digging characters, secrets, back-stabbing, lies, and schemes. I thought I would try another novel by Pinborough, but ultimately I think that she and I just are not meant to be. I didn't love that this had so many unnecessary sex scenes - I came for a thriller, not an EL James book. I thought it was in part boring, ridiculous, and super cringe-worthy. I know that Pinborough is super popular, but I don't think I'll request or pick up another of her books. But I do thank the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this advanced ebook.

This book wasn’t my favorite by this author. I struggled to get invested in the plot and the characters.

I have read and enjoyed other books by this author-one of which I have 5 ⭐️. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me. I didn’t enjoy the smutty content and the voodoo within the story. I prefer more of a straight thriller or mystery. I would still check out other books by this author in the future based on my past experiences with her writing.

Dead To Her is the third book of Sarah Pinborough’s I have read and my least favorite so far. The plot and story were interesting but could have had a good 40 pages edited from the first 25% or so to move the plot along faster, the beginning was so slow I almost DNF’d around 20%. I’m glad I kept going as I liked it overall.

Pros: I love the city of Savannah, love hearing the Southern accents (though fake) in the audiobook, overall liked the story

Cons: truly terrible people though I was rooting for Keisha, I do not think either the title of the book or the cover relate to the story at all, I guessed who the villain was really early

So I’ve discovered that Ms Pinborough’s books all have a touch of the supernatural in them and that touch isn’t revealed until the end. This book was no different. So if you did not like Behind Her Eyes or do not like supernatural touches in your stories stay away from this one.

The audiobook narrator did a great job. I listened to this in almost one day on 2.0 speed while running errands and doing housework.

Thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the e-arc I received in exchange for my honest review (though I did get the audiobook from my library).

I absolutely loved Behind Her Eyes, but this was just not for me. The writing style felt super jilted and uneven (every time there was a fragment sentence I had to roll my eyes). This felt all over the place and it does kind of make me question whether I should continue to read her books. Definitely not a fan.

This was such a good rollercoaster of a book! I loved the dark ending and the final twist. Some of it I saw coming, but for the most part, I was definitely surprised! A great follow-up to the completely mind-blowing Behind Her Eyes.
I loved the suffocating, sultry setting of Savannah in the dead of summer. It was a character all on its own. The plot line was engrossing and full of wicked twists that really kept me at the edge of my seat. I found this book addictive and unputdownable, and I can't wait for Sarah's next book.

Thank you to NetGalley and William Morrow for the free review copy! 2 stars. The plot is intriguing, with lies, deception, and temptation following key players in an elite circle. However for me, this title did not deliver. The plot was extremely farfetched and seemed to go off the rails with no real indication as to why or how these events furthered the story.

I think I need to stop reading thrillers for awhile. They keep turning out to be anything but thrilling.

I dnfed this title I couldn’t get into it. The writing style wasn’t for me I guess. I thought it would be right up my ally.

couldn't wait to start this newest release by the author the wrote Behind Her Eyes, which was one of my favorite thrillers in 2017.

The first half of the book was intriguing and I wanted to find out more about Keisha, who has recently married the wealthy, and older William Radford IV. She isn't the only trophy wife in town who has recently landed a wealthy hubbie though, Marcie is now Mrs. Jason Maddox and living her best life.

When these two women meet, the past, the secrets and their insecurities threaten to bring someone down, but who?

I was into this one until the weird voodoo/black magic plot line made its way into the story. Suddenly the domestic drama turned into an unbelievable, quite insane and confusing ride with the most dreadful characters I've encountered in a while. Just couldn't get on board this train.

Sadly, this one wasn't the thriller I hoped it would be.

Thanks to NG/pub. for the review copy

Dead to Her is my first book from author, Sarah Pinborough, and what a wild ride. Dead to Her is a drama-filled, juicy page-turner. It made my mind spin. I loved the Savannah setting. It added a richness to the story. There’s a ton of unlikability here, so be warned. The characters are rich and pompous at times. There are also some twists and turns I can see working for some and not for others. Overall, I found it highly entertaining, so it paid off for me!

Nooooooo, Sarah Pinborough what are you doing to me. I was the biggest fan of Behind Her Eyes but this was just flopped on me. I was intruiged at the beginning but that quickly fell off as the pace started to slow. The entire middle section really just slowed to a drag and it felt nearly impossible to continue. The final end decided to kick up the conflict and suddenly we were screaming toward the finale, switching directions every few pages. The idea wasn't terrible but I was not a fan of the pacing.

Pinborough is one of my favorite authors and this is probably tops my favorite book from her. Give me all the books with jealousy, revenge, enough money you don’t know what to do with and sprinkle with romance. Everyone wants to be Keisha, he’ll even I do, she’s beautiful and every man boasts over her. But Marcie is my liable and relatable character. Her husband Jason takes a quick liking to Keisha. I’m sure you can already guess what probably happens. But don’t, because your already wrong. Amazing thriller!

Dead to Her by Sarah Pinbrough was one of my least favorite reads of the year. Marcie had an affair with business magnate Jason and married into her status among the elite in Savannah. When Jason hopes to distract his boss and take over the company by suggesting he take time in Europe to grieve his lost wife, they never expected he would show up with a young and beautiful new wife on his arm. Keisha is not from the same class or educational background, but is mesmerizing to everyone, including Jason. All Marcie’s secrets may be exposed as she fights to keep her husband and her elite lifestyle. I could not really get into the shallowness of the characters and can not highly recommend this book. I received an ARC, all opinions are my own.

She married her way into the city elite, but she will never be apart of them for real.

A revenge story at its finest. This story is gripping and enthralling, it keeps the pages turning

Another fantastic thriller from Pinborough! Couldn’t put this one down. I’m looking forward to more from this author for sure!

I am a fan of Sarah Pinborough but not of this book.
I felt this story was a lot more vulgar than her others.
All about sex more than a good storyline.
I will try her next book and hope it is better than this.

I hope anyone reading this book can enjoy it more than I did.

I did not enjoy this book. It was slow and I ended up not liking or caring about any of the characters. I felt they were all so selfish and vindictive. I didn't care about the romance and when the voodoo stuff started happening, things got weird. I also didn't like random characters being introduced with no purpose at all. This felt all over the place and was also too long for what we got. Not for me.

Thank you so much to Harper Collins Publishing and NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!

This book was, well, interesting I guess is the best word I can think of. I'm only giving it 3 stars because I love Sarah Pinborough's writing style and how easy it is for me to read. I never get bored reading her works and I feel that it's fairly quick for me to read.

However, this book, UGH. I wanted to love this book so much more after reading Behind Her Eyes which has one of the best plot twists of all time in my opinion. As a general rule for myself, I never read a thriller's synopsis before reading the book and this book immediately drew me in from the beginning. I was loving the characters and the slow storyline that kept me constantly guessing when there was going to be a big plot twist. And then I got to the end of the book and I was honestly confused, I felt like I was just hit over the head with a large book and had temporarily lost all coherent thoughts. I will give it kudos though because if that was meant as a huge reveal and plot twist at the end, I will give the author props because I DEFINITELY did not see that coming.

Other than the bizarre ending, I do like how the ending wasn't rushed like some thrillers are. The whole book itself was slow in pace (but not in a bad way) so I'm happy that it was somewhat drawn out (again, not in a bad way). I didn't love the characters in the same way I did in the beginning but that's okay because I understand how it was all integrated into the story.

I still plan on reading other Sarah Pinbourough books because I really do enjoy her writing style. I'm just hopeful that the next one I read doesn't have such a bizarre ending

This book start off with a band and completely captivated me from the characters and the plot. Toward the middle and end it began to get a little confusing and was hard to keep up with.
