Wow, just WOW! One of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to. The narrators did a superb job of drawing the listener in and keeping them engaged. It didn’t feel as if they were merely reading a book, but rather you were living the story along with these characters.

This book is what other psychological thrillers books strive to be. It has so many twists and turns, you think you have it figured out, but nope, you never see the next thing coming (which happens a few times in the story). I didn’t want this book to end!

If you’ve never listed to and audiobook before and you enjoy mystery/suspense, I highly recommend you start with this one.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Anna must go back to her dreaded hometown to do a news report on a murder. It turns out that the victim is a childhood friend. As the story unfolds she discovers that this murder hits closer to her than she expected. Meanwhile a local detective becomes a suspect because of his own connection to the victim. The two of them must use what they know from the past and present to get to the bottom of it. 
 
I was really thrown around trying to guess the big reveal. Mind blown! I highly recommend checking this one out. It was my first from this author but I already own her first book so I will for sure be reading it sooner than planned.

This is a fast moving, intriguing, well-written who-done-it. It has all the ingredients to get my attention: English, alternating voices, unreliable narrator, fully-fleshed out characters. Highly recommend and will buy when it comes out. ( That said, I had to abandon the audiobook because the software is too glitchy, with stop-starts at random intervals, skipping of large sections, etc. I know we aren't supposed to discuss tech in the review but I have a feeling the glitchy tech might affect people's ability to fairly judge a book, and also the reason why I didn't finish this (and will wait for the book) is because the tech would not co-operate with me and I kept having to go back and make sure it hadn't jumped a section, so got confusing.)

This is the first audiobook I’ve listened too. His and Hers. The narratives were wonderful. The story kept me on the edge of my seat. Lots of twists and turns.

Haven't listened to an audio book for a while, so thank you to NetGalley for this copy!

I thought the narrators were great, even though the murderer's voice through a voice disguiser was very creepy!!

A book about lies, revenge, more lies and so many twisty turns. It starts with Anna who was a BBC news presenter and is sent back literally where she started in the village that she grew up in to report on the murder of a girl she knew in school. The detective also happened to be her ex husband who also knew the victim!

I honestly had no idea who had dunnit! Such a clever writer, leading us up many paths throughout.

The issue with getting ARCs is that while you get the book earlier (yay!), you also can't talk to anyone about it when you finish it and I have a lot of feelings about this book and I need to talk about them.

I wasn't sure Feeney would ever match the brilliance of her debut, "Sometimes I Lie" but 'His & Her' has shattered that very high bar. Like Feeney's previous books you have some flashbacks to the past that leave you extra off-kilter as to what may or may not be going on but with 'His & Her' we also have multiple viewpoints driving you through the story and I literally could not turn the book off. The initial opening with the killer's voice disguised through me a bit, but it ended up really adding to the narrative since you couldn't glean the gender from those excerpts. Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine gave brilliant performances with both voices fitting both the main character they were narrating and the side characters in conversation.

I highly recommend Feeney to thriller readers on a regular basis, and 'His & Her' just cements her as a new powerhouse in the genre. I will say don't pick up the book or press play unless you're ready to devote time to it because you won't be able to put it down.

As someone who loves reading Mystery/Thrillers, this was a great new experience for me! This was the first audiobook of the genre that I heard and it gave the story so much intrigue and gravitas!

This is the second Alice Feeney book I've read, and I really enjoyed it. The story is filled with twists and turns that keep you on your toes and wanting to know more. The writing and narration were great and I really was left guessing "whodunnit" till the end.

"Clothes don’t make the woman but they can help disguise the cloth she is made from."
"We all hide behind the version of ourselves we let the rest of the world see."

A highly twisty and compelling thriller/mystery told from 3 perspectives (voices). This is most engaging in audiobook format as the characters are read by different people. It takes a bit to catch how the device of moving in time is used, but it does an effective job and developing both the plot and the characters. Riddled throughout the book are a lot of obvious diversionary tactics, planted to mislead or confusion. This becomes a bit overused toward the finale as the author builds suspense through suspicions. Overall it was gripping and entertaining, allowing my mind to detach from reality.

Thanks to #netgalley for the audiobook!

Anna Andrews was living her dream of being a news anchor for the BBC. When her colleague returns from maternity leave, Anna is relegated to one the scene newscaster. Her first assignment is covering a murder in Blackdown.
DCI Jack Harper is called in to investigate a murder in his village of Blackdown and recognizes the victim. As the case progresses, Jack becomes a suspect.

A psychological thriller told in alternating chapters from the perspective of Anna, Jack and the killer. Richard Armitage did a fantastic job narrating Jack's side of the story. While the book kept me listening at every opportunity, I just found it hard to believe the twist at the end. Psychological thrillers that do not have a feasible plot are a deal breaker for me and parts of this book hit that wall.

A huge thank you to NetGalley for the complimentary audiobook!

What a great story! A page turner that kept me guessing throughout. The narration on this audiobook was great as each main character was read by a different narrator making it very easy to follow.

The body of a murdered woman turns up in Blackdown, a picturesque English village with a missing cat problem and some very creepy teenagers. Anna Andrews is a BBC newsreader who has just been replaced by the woman who used to have her job. Anna isn’t keen on going to Blackdown but she can’t really refuse when her boss sends her there to report on the murder. DCI Jack Harper is investigating the murder. He doesn’t reveal that he has been sleeping with the victim. Anna and Jack become much more involved in the case than they expected.

The story is told from the alternating points of view of Anna and Jack. Some chapters are also from the point of view of the killer. In the audiobook, that voice is distorted so it provides no clues to the killer’s identity. The plot kept surprising me with unexpected links between the characters. Every time I thought I knew who the killer was, my suspect turned up dead. I never did get it right. In addition to liking the plot, I also liked Anna and Jack who were prickly, complicated characters. I thought this book was fun. 4.5 stars

I received a free copy of the audio book from the publisher.

5 "Freaky Good" Stars!

I LOVED this audiobook!! The story is told from 3 perspectives....his, hers and an anonymous third person who isn't revealed until the end. Ms. Feeney has a talent for letting the reader unwrap a story gradually. She portions out little pieces of information as you need them. In His & Hers, the reader just needs to buckle up and enjoy the ride. I will say that when you think you have it all figured out, the plot will take another twist and you'll be left unsure of everything again. It's a very well-written psychological thriller with a carefully formulated plot. I'm not sharing any more details because the less you know going into this book, the better.

I will also say that the narration for this audio version was spot on perfect for the storyline. It made an already enjoyable book even better.
Thank you to NetGalley, MacMillan Audio and Ms. Feeney for the ARC of this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Let me start off by saying that I’ve never been a huge fan of audiobooks. I just love the way a book feels in your hands. I love coming up with my own ideas about what the characters sound like and etc. I requested the audiobook version from NetGalley because I’d heard it was fantastic to listen to.

I went into the book blind without having read a synopsis. Crazy, I know! I was excited to learn it was a thriller as I got into it. Thrillers are my jam. Right away I knew that I wasn’t going to love the characters. They kept secrets throughout the book, which was fun, but they just weren’t likable. It made it hard to root for anyone. I didn’t find the book or the narration to be quite as creepy as I heard everyone else say it was, but it did keep my attention. All thriller/mystery readers spend half the book coming up with theories of “who did it” and I was no different. I will say I was wrong and did not guess the ending. I had a little trouble buying in to the ending but it was exciting to have a fun twist you didn’t see coming. Overall, I really did enjoy this and I can definitely see myself picking up more audiobooks in the future!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for an ARC of this! It was a wild ride for sure!

His & Hers by Alice Feeney
Pub date 05/28/20

Okay so everyone that is a member of Netgalley knows that audio books are new, with their very own app. Called Netgalley Shelf.
This was my first book using the new app. And there seems to be a lot of bugs that need to be worked out. But I love audio books as much as I love my hardcovers. So I pushed forward.

His & Hers is a psychological thriller.
Anna Andrew's has the perfect job. It's her dream job then suddenly somebody is trying to take it away from her. What would you do to keep your dream job?
Jack, the ex husband is the DCI working a murder case that Anna is sent to cover as a News journalist. The story unfolds from here. There are many twist and turns and you suspect everyone.

" There are two sides to every story, yours & mine, ours & theirs, his & hers".

Many thanks to the publisher and to Netgalley for the free copy for an honest review. ⭐⭐⭐.5
3.5 rounded up to 4

* I received an advance edition of the audiobook from NetGalley. This is my unbiased review and all opinions are my own *

There's his version of the story, her version of the story, and the truth. A woman is murdered in a small town and a police detective and a reporter find themselves connected to the victim. They are both unreliable narrators for their own respective reasons. The murderer also chimes in, but their part of the story just adds to the reader's confusion.

I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook. Every new bit of information propels the story forward and adds more complexity to plot. This book kept me guessing until the very end. This book was suspenseful, full of twists and surprises, and every time you think you have it figured out, you end up second-guessing yourself.

I'm going to be thinking about this book for a while.

His & Hers took a few minutes to grab my attention, but when it did, I held on all day listening to the story. In that regard, it accomplishes what I expect of a thriller. Feeney also managed to go beyond the standard expectations of a thriller, though. There were some solid reflective moments on human nature that resonate.

As far as whodunnit, I was guessing until the very end. Feeney did an excellent job making everyone seem equally likely throughout the entire story.

The narration was well-done. Sometimes I get bored quickly by an audiobook based on the narrator's pace or tone, but this wasn't a problem for me with His & Hers.

Thank you to Netgalley and Macmillan Audio for the Advance Audio Listen. Wow what can I say! Loved it! Alice Feeney does it again. She grabs a hold of the reader and just does not let go. The narrators did a fabulous job narrating the story. They brought life to the book. They did a great job and kept me captivated until the end. Get ready for some wild twists and turns. Dark and sinister! Highly recommend! Looking forward to more books from this author..

I want to thank Netgalley, MacMillian Audiobooks, and Alice Feneey for giving me the opportunity to listen to a free audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

As per usual I wanted to read this book because Abby from @CrimebytheBook read it and as a loyal follower I read everything she reads :) When Netgalley gifted me a copy I was beyond excited. I read Alice's I Know Who You Are last year and I couldn't wait to dive into this one.

THE NARRATION: Sometimes you need an audiobook to accompany you on your commute to work, long runs, or household chores. If that's the case, then you need to listen to His &Hers. The narration of this book was like something I hadn't heard before. There are three narrators: HIS which is a male's voice, HERS which is a female's voice, and The Truth which is a distorted voice that tells ...well the truth of what happened. The three narrator's points of view keep you guessing as to who the killer is making this format terrifying and engaging. I was so addicted to the audiobook that I made my workout longer just so I could listen to the next chapters.

THE STORY: I love me a good revenge story and in His & Hers is just that. A thrilling, bat-shit crazy thriller about Anna Andrews a BBC newscaster and Jack Harper Detective Chief Inspector.

ANNA is given the opportunity to save her job as a newscaster by covering the murder of a woman. The setting of the murder? Anna's old stomping grounds in Blackdown in the UK. Now, there's a reason why Anna left this small town.... a terrible reason* and when she sees the woman who was murdered in the woods she realizes that she went to school with her. As a matter of fact they were friends...friendship bracelets and all.

JACK is investigating the murder of the woman in the woods. The same woman who Anna knows. Jack and Anna have a romantic history and not only is Jack investigating the murder of this woman but he is a suspect in the case. His footprints and male juices are all over the crime scene.

The story is fast paced and addictive. I was thrilled and engaged the entire time. Completely recommend His & Hers.

* Trigger Warnings: Very descriptive animal abuse, bullying, grooming, sexual harassment

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I don't read many suspense books, but this description was really intriguing!

I loved the setup of the book where it changed narrator POVs, giving us tiny glimpses of each person's story. And I definitely didn't see the ending! That was a great twist.

I really enjoyed the narrator and would happily listen to more books by this person.

My critique is in the audiobook format itself. I'm not sure if it was glitch in the App or the book itself, but after the credits came on at the end there was still about an hour left of the audiobook. And that hour was the beginning playing over again.

Other than the file glitch, I enjoyed this book! Thank you!

Anna, a TV presenter at the BBC, returns to her hometown to cover a murder. There, she finds out the lead detective is her ex-husband, Jack, and the victim is one of her childhood friends. The story alternates between Jack's (His), Anna's(Hers), and the unknown killer's viewpoints as the murder is investigated.

For a lot of mysteries/thrillers I read/listen to, I enjoy the suspense and anticipation of the book more than the ending and explanation of the mystery. Many endings leave me disappointed after great buildup. This book was the exact opposite. I found the most of the story a little slow, the characters not very likeable, and some dark and disturbing things happen that left me very turned off. However, the ending or last quarter of the book was suspenseful, gripping and surprising. I also enjoyed the alternating viewpoints and all the the narrators did a great job in the audiobook. The murderer's voice was especially creepy which added to the book's eerieness.
