I unfortunately did not connect with this story so after about 25% i decided to put it down. There was a slight disconnect between the writing, the characters and the plot and for that it just did not work for me.

I could not put this down! I love Jeneva writing so much. It is so bingable!
The setting in the salon was so fun and I would love another book with these characters.

This was not a book that will end up dominating my thoughts long after reading it, like the perfect marriage did, but I will say it was pretty entertaining. I think anyone that enjoys the real housewives franchise would also find it entertaining. Just imagine the housewives banter, events, rumors, & secrets, but then one of them ends up dead. I will say the drama & suspense balance was a little off for me. I was craving more suspense throughout the plot, not primarily concentrated in the last 25ish percent. Because the suspense & twists came so fast at the end the conclusion felt less impactful. Overall, enjoyable read.

Wow what a pager turner ! I was hooked right from the first sentence. Truly loved this world of a high end hair salon and all the gossip and crazy clients. So many secrets, lies and betrayal. Really enjoyed!

I went back and forth between audio and physical here and it was so fun. Hard to put down, just totally addicting to listen/read. This story was one of those reality type that you love to hate, and Jeneva always throws a wrench into what I think I have figured out. Her books are mostly read within a day because I can't quit them! Always looking forward to what she comes out with next!

this was one of the audiobooks i listened to on my trip home for easter, it was the perfect way to keep me entertained while driving and it had me laughing, gasping and cheering!

the audiobook was phenomenal! all the narrators did an amazing job, and really brought each character to life. it honestly felt like i was listening to the dialogue of a show.

this is the real housewives x pretty little liars, of sorts. i really enjoyed that the chapters were from the pov of the different women, it was a fun way to see all the characters in different lights.

the only downside i had was that i did guess the who/what but that’s just a me thing, i think if you were interested you’d really love this book! i also didn’t care for the constant girl-bashing but that was a key part to the book and the characters developments.

overall, if you like the cattiness of reality tv shows (such as the real housewives) mixed with a little PLL essence, you’d really enjoy this book!

4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Wow, talk about an entertaining mystery! Part Real Housewives, part popcorn thriller this one had ALL the makings of books I love to read.

The women of Buckhead are known for being fake and evil. Even though you love to hate them, you can’t help but love watching them rip each other to shreds with cattiness and snark. While I liked some over the others I was fully immersed in this book. Love me some juicy drama filled with lies and deceit! Love, love, love the alternating POV chapters from each of the women.

If you’re looking for a great domestic thriller with bitchy, but 100% entertaining characters and a very satisfying ending - look no further than this one. Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for my advanced copy to read and review.

This was a great thriller. As a hairdresser, it was nice to see just how woven one is into the community and knows all of the secrets. It had me guessing until the twist came up!

Wow this was definitely an interesting one. I love having different POV but sometimes this felt like it switched a bit too much.

I was really hoping for more of a bombshell at the end. Overall it was still a good thriller with lots of twists

Thank you to the publisher for allowing me advance access to this title. I really enjoyed reading this story and look forward to reading more from this author. As a reader, I am really motivated by character driven stories and I found myself quickly becoming immersed in these characters’ lives. Full review to come.

One of Us is Dead was an entertaining, though not entirely gripping read.

What I enjoyed most about the story was the Desperate Housewives feel. There was tons of drama between the characters, and lots of gossip and secrets between them.

Though I liked the book, it did take me a long time to get through it. It wasn't one that made me want to hurry through the pages, in fact, it took me over a week to finish.

In the end the reveal of who was dead and who did it wasn't all that surprising, but still the book was overall satisfying. Perhaps check it out if you're headed on a vacation and are looking to do some reading over the course of your stay.

This was like the adult version of mean girls... and I was here for it. There is just something about the atmosphere of a salon that makes people mouths open like an underpaid therapist... that just made this setting so believable. Be warned that this is a book where you might not like most of the characters or their characters very much and that is why the story was so believable and worked so well. This gives desperate housewives with a mixture of real housewives and I thought overall it was just a fun journey to be along for.

I didn’t love this title from Jeneva Rose. None of characters were likable and the story seemed to get out of hand towards the end - it totally came out of left field. Definitely should be marketed towards readers who enjoy watching the housewives tv shows. I’ll still read Rose’s next!

This one was like desperate housewives meets small town drama meets… murder! I enjoyed this read and the drama centered writing was a change of pace from your normal thriller.

What a fun, fun book.... first of all, as a woman born and raised a little south of Atlanta (and Buckhead!), it was exciting to read stories about Buckhead's elite residents-even if the stories are fictional. Second of all, I absolutely could NOT stand a couple characters in the beginning, so it was rewarding to see the ones I DID like to get revenge on the ones I DIDN'T- even if the revenge was murder. My least favorite character turned out to be the dead one, so I won't name names, but was actually happy when a main character was killed off..... and was happy that the author was able to wind everyone's storyline up nicely, hopefully setting them up for personal healing and happy futures. Nothing screams "beach read" better than a well-plotted, well-written novel about wealthy southern women behaving badly, and this book emerges at the tip of said pile. Can't wait to see what Jeneva Rose writes next!

I really wanted to like this one but I’m afraid it just didn’t work for me. It felt like reading a book version of Real Housewives and ultimately I just found myself not really caring how it ended. Have seen lots of people loving this one but unfortunately it just wasn’t for me.

2.5 rounded down.

I think Jeneva Rose just isn't an author for me. Her books feel overly dramatic, but not in a good way. This felt like a want-to-be, over the top version of Real Housewives. Thankfully it was entertaining, especially on audio, which is the only reason I didn't DNF. The drama was ridiculous and I just found myself laughing at just how ridiculous it was. I don't have much to say about this one.

Blurb: (Goodreads)
The highly anticipated new thriller from the
bestselling author of The Perfect Marriage.
Opulence. Sex. Betrayal Sometimes friendship can be deadly. Meet the women of Buckhead-a place of expensive cars, huge houses, and competitive friendships.
Thoughts:
Jeneva Rose is definitely one of my "auto buyer"
authors, especially after reading the "Perfect
Marriage" last year. I enjoyed all the non- stop drama and the bitchy housewives vibes I got from this book. The wicked and twisty plot kept me reading instead of doing my household chores.

This was such a good mystery, i have been a fan of her books and this one as always dis not disappoint!!

Jenny owns Glow, an upscale salon that caters to the wealthiest in Buckhead. Seriously, women go to her daily for different treatments. This means she knows all the tea. There are so many secrets and juicy moments. This popcorn thriller is very well done.
