This book is full of edge of your seat, twisty, turny, oh my gosh moments that you will not see coming. Just when you think you have it all figured out, BAM you find out you are wrong as something else is thrown into the mix. I loved how fast paced this novel was and I flew through the audiobook, listening every chance that I got. I loved the main character Anna. She was smart and ambitious, but she was scattered, unreliable and all over the place, which made for a great book. Her student Alex has jumped out the window in front of her, she just found out her husband has been cheating on her. She has a lot going on right? Then she is questioned about Alex’s death. What is she going to do?

I loved how the story evolved and there was so much going on in this storyline that it will keep you interested and hooked right to the very end. You definitely want to add this book to your TBR, you will not be disappointed!

This is the first book I have read or listened to by Natalie Barelli and I was impressed. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more of Natalie’s novels in future.

Thank you NetGalley for the advanced copy of this book. Overall, I enjoyed this one! The characters were developed nicely. Well done!

*received for free from netgalley for honest review* There was a lot going on in this book and though there was things i didn't care for in this book, at least it didn't end like i thought it was going to for a second there lmao

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Ooh! This was a well written twisty, topsy turvy thriller of a mystery! I found a little bit of a slow start but once I realized there was more to the story than a simple murder I couldn't stop listening. It is a fantastic story about a woman fearful of her husband having an affair when really there may be more to worry about than just an affair. Follow along as the MC , Dr Anna Sanchez starts to make connections among the people in her life to find a terrifying truth!
Definitely recommended for all those fans of psychological thrillers! You haven't read one like this before !

Thank you #NetGalley and #DreamscapeMedia for giving me a copy to listen to. I loved the narrator of this book and I loved the premise of the book. However I would give it 3/5 stars. Positives - good twists, interesting relationships, and some good storytelling, and it does pull you in. There were times I just wanted to be in my car to finish the book. Negatives - disjointed plots that sometimes have nothing to do with each other and no real explanation of why the narrator is unreliable. When first listening to the book I almost gave up on it until I spoiled the end and was pulled back into the story. If you like unreliable narrators and domestic thrillers this book is for you. Just be warned that some of the story doesn't quite flow or make sense at times.

Wow! This was a fun book. The ending actually caught me off guard. The main character is a insecure mother, wife and professor who tried her best, has good intentions but continually makes bad decisions, personally and professionally. If you like a good domestic thriller with a main character who makes horrible decisions but you still root for, this is a great one!

This book was such a pleasant surprise for me! I wasn't sure what to expect having never read or listened to any of Natalie's books before and this one started out a bit slow but once it got going it never stopped. It was a dark and twisty thriller and sucked me right in. I alternately felt sorry for the main character and wanted to smack her for being an idiot. The narrator for this audiobook is fantastic and really did a wonderful job capturing the spirit of the story with her voice. Overall I give the book 4 stars. One knocked off for the fact that I really didn't even like any of the characters bit still loved the story.

Anna, how do I describe Anna..she drinks-a lot, she lies-a lot, she is kind of a mess. Her husband is having an affair, but she doesn't confront him, she just makes a great dinner for him and pretends is nothing is wrong. She does this a lot, acts like all is well, drove me crazy really. Confront him already!
Anna is also working on a mathematical problem with one of her students. A math problem that no one has been able to solve. Bit guess what? They solve it! And then the student decides he is. It going to share the glory with Anna. Anna confronts him, and he jumps out the window, killing himself! Oh my!
From there the story gets more complicated. Anna gets herself in bind after bind.
Its can get your anxiety going, when she just keeps getting herself deeper into her lies and you cant wait til it's over so you can breathe either a sigh of relief or shake your head at what's happened.
Thanks Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Unfaithful is the latest book by suspense master Natalie Barelli. As events unfold and Anna’s life unravels - a lost professorship, a dead student, her husbands affair.... she becomes more and more desperate to hold her family together. As she becomes allies with her secretary June, Anna finds herself in further damage control. I love the suspense and twists and turns of this story and the narrator did a great job with it. I received an ARC audiobook, all opinions are my own.

This is one of the best thrillers I’ve read recently! Just when I thought I knew where it was going, there is a plot twist to prove me wrong. I like that this novel kept my interest from start to finish.

This book was a great listen! I loved the narration, and thought the story was just twisty enough. Maybe some parts were a little cliche, but overall I really enjoyed this one.

Wow! Thank you Net Galley for this thrill ride of an audio!

Anna Sanchez is a math teacher at a university, happily married to her husband Louis, and mother to her children Carla and Mateo. However, Anna s world begins to crumble. Her PhD student Alex is found dead, Anna goes to seek comfort from her husband , only to discover he is having an affair. Add to that, a sexual harassment suit, a stalker, threatening texts, a theft, being passed over a job, a missing co worker, and a pregnant mistress, you're in for a very addictive story!

The story had me interested in the beginning then somewhere in the middle I began to lose interest but I kept going anyway. All in all i thought the story was ok. The ending had a twist I didn't see coming. That sort of made up for the less interesting parts.

This is the second book that I've read in the last week from this author. And, I'm going to say again that I HATE when authors make unreliable female narrators! Please STOP making women stupid! Please STOP making women unreliable! Please STOP making women weak! Please STOP using alcohol to justify why women are acting stupid. Women are not stupid or weak or unreliable!

There were a lot of things going on in this book. Explaining them would spoil the whole book. Suffice it to say, there were a bit too many things going on here, but at least they were tied up in a bow and presented nicely in the end.

The key to audiobooks is the narrator. The narrator here was not as engaging as I had hoped. In fact, something about her voice made Anna, the main character, even more pathetic than perhaps she would have been on the written page.

This review was also posted on Goodreads.

Drama infused story that is somewhat captivating. I didn't care of the characters and that made it a littl emore difficult to get into the story and enjoy as much as I'd have liked.

Narration in the audio is good and compelling.

Though I’ll have to admit that this book had me very interested in the beginning, I found the middle to just lay there. I honestly lost interest and had to force myself to continue. However, I am so very glad I stayed with it, because the end was just WOW!

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC for an honest review. #DreamscapeMedia #NetGalley

I voluntarily listened to an advanced copy of this audiobook. It is well written and the characters are described well. This audiobook will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out who did it from the first minute. The pacing is phenomenal. The characters are enjoyable. It has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing what happened. I highly highly enjoyed this audiobook. I would definitely recommend listening to this book to anyone and everyone. It is in stores now for $24.99 (USD).

DNF

On narrator side, specifically:

Bad choice. When you write a psychological thriller from a first person point of view, you are already taking a chance. When you move it to the audiobook, you absolutely have to have the right narrator. Someone who can handle all the characters, and with the right modulation to create proper levels of suspense/tension... emote spectrum of extreme reactions.

This was not the right choice, at all. She was completely flat. Nothing. No emotion, modulation, pacing, or fluency. Nothing
And all the voices (in tone, content efc) sound exactly alike.

Let me just say WOW! This was over the top. I never guessed what would happen at the end. All throughout, the book keeps you guessing. Then at the end I was blown away! Anna has so much going on in her life. She’s worked so hard on solving some big scientific mathematical problem with her student. One she had to work on as a kid to appease her mother. She is also up for a possible professorship. Things fall apart very quickly. As in one day pretty much. She doesn’t get the professorship and she finds out her husband may be cheating. But she isn’t sure. Meanwhile, her boss is a womanizing jerk. Instead of confronting her husband, she tries harder to be the wife she feels she should be. The book kept me guessing and there was never a dull moment. Something is always happening, even when you think it can’t get any worse. The very last few paragraphs about blew me mind. I felt so bad for all she had endured. Everyone was awful to her. Her mom was so horrible then she grows up to have such a bad boss.

I listened to the audiobook. The narrator was so amazing. She really brought the story to life. There were times I would get to work and actually be late because I would keep sitting there listening.
