**3.5-stars rounded up**

Jenny is the owner of a posh salon in the upscale area of Buckhead in Atlanta. Her salon, Glow, caters to a set number of wealthy clients who come in for very regular treatments. Because of this exclusivity and frequency of visits, Jenny has come to know her clients very, very well. Almost too well for her tastes. Along with her assistant, Jenny has become quite versed in navigating the ups-and-downs of her clients toxic relationships.

The most recent drama involves former Queen Bee, Shannon, whose politician husband, Bryce Madison, recently left her for a 20-something waitress he met while on a business trip to Texas.

The waitress, Crystal, has recently moved to town and become the new Mrs. Madison. Young and innocent, like Dorothy walking into Oz, Crystal has no idea what she is in for when it comes to Buckhead society.

For her part, Olivia is all too happy to sit back and watch Shannon's demise. Truthfully, she's been waiting for that star to fall for a while. As she sees it, now is her time.

Lastly, there's Karen. The least aggressive socially of the bunch, Karen's still hiding some big secrets of her own.

These women are used to a constant state of drama, with under-handed insults being slung back and forth, but how far are they willing to take it? Would someone actually kill to protect their position in the community? How about to keep their secrets secret? Y'all, somebody is not going to make it out alive...

One of Us is Dead is like Fried Green Tomatoes met The Real Housewives of Atlanta, they fell in love and had a baby that was essentially an Adult version of Mean Girls. You know based off that description that my evil a$$ is 100% here for it. I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook for this one, which does feature a full cast. It was really well done and I definitely recommend that format.

It was fun having a different narrator for each perspective. It felt like I was really getting to know these characters and they are twisted. Everyone was hiding something. Everyone knew things they shouldn't. They were just all up in each others business. It was captivating.

The more I think on it, the more I am realizing just how much fun I had with it. It was really close to a full 4-stars for me. I think initially though, I was disappointed that the ending wrapped everything up so quickly. I wanted more intrigue as far as the murdery bits were concerned. For most of the narrative I actually forgot that the whole point was that someone was ultimately going to end up dead. There was so little focus on that. I would have appreciated more time invested in those aspects, but of course, that is completely a personal taste issue. I was just sort of hoping for a wee more mystery.

Overall, this is a super fun, fast-paced, dramatic and slightly ridiculous read. Be forewarned, however, if you are not into girl-on-girl slander, back-stabbing and crime, this may not be for you. Just know going in these women are brutal. They aren't holding any punches.

Thank you so much to the publisher, Blackstone Publishing, for providing me with a copy to read and review. I had a ton of fun with this one!

Ok this book was SO GOOD. Like the rich housewife drama and then the TWIST WTF. I literally gasped when I got to it. I also thing that the audiobook was a great experience. Each POV is voiced by a different narrator and they were all spot on to what I would assume the ladies would sound like. I also loved getting the POV of the villain of the group because she was so cunning and it was so enjoyable to hate her.

I would for sure recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed The Hunting Wives, The Lion’s Den, or The Siren.

“𝕎𝕖 𝕒𝕝𝕝 𝕜𝕟𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕡𝕖𝕟𝕤 𝕥𝕠 𝕨𝕖𝕒𝕝𝕥𝕙𝕪 𝕡𝕖𝕠𝕡𝕝𝕖, 𝕟𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘.”

“𝐼 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝒹𝒾𝒹 𝓌𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝐼 𝒶𝓁𝓌𝒶𝓎𝓈 𝒹𝑜, 𝐼 𝓉𝑜𝑜𝓀 𝒸𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝑜𝒻 𝓂𝓎 𝒸𝓁𝒾𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈.”

This was like desperate housewives on SPEED! Very quick bingeable audio. Each character had an unlikable characteristic that still managed to draw you in. Definitely a fun destructive read.

I highly recommend this one on audio!

💭 ᴍʏ ᴛʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛꜱ:
Buckhead; with the prestige, upper class housewives and the cheeky backstabbing, reminded me so much of Wisteria Line of Desperate Housewives! I absolutely adored and devoured it. The character built was beautifully done by the multiple POV and short chapters and I truly felt that I got to know the women. It is a fast paced, edge of your seat mystery. The ending was the cherry to the cake. I highly recommend the audio book; as it is done by 5 narrators it gave the story so much more body and I could not stop listening to it.

This is the third book I've read by Jeneva Rose. I absolutely loved and sped through her first two, however this one took me a month to get through and I even had to switch back and forth between audio and kindle versions. All the friends story sounded kind of like Real Housewives mixed with Mean Girls and could have used some comedy because it wasn't giving full on thriller or mystery vibes. And then the big twist was almost way too serious for this one. It seemed to come out of nowhere, there wasn't any build up of horror or trauma and the big job reveal could have been something less serious. Maybe it's just me, but so for several of the women to not really take it so seriously threw the ending off for me. I'll still read Jeneva's books but this wasn't her best.

Hello favorite read of April and quite possibly one of my favorite thrillers of the year! This was my first read by Jeneva Rose, and I basically devoured the audio for this one, I highly recommend listening to it if you can. It was very well done and an absolutely entertaining read!

Four women, one wealthy town, what could go wrong? A LOT, let me tell you, and I was here for all of it. Told from each woman’s POV, I loved how this was done and the insights were great. We have queen bee Shannon who has been dumped by her husband for a younger model, and she doesn’t take too well to this. The younger model is Crystal, a Texas gal who is young, naive, and doesn’t know what she is getting herself into, or does she? Olivia is eagerly awaiting the queen bee spot, after all, it’s really been she who should have been the queen all this time…. And then Jenny, who owns Glow, the most exclusive salon in town, she knows everyone’s secrets and desires….

You put these ladies all together and it is a glorious recipe for disaster, and in fact, there is an actual disaster that we learn of up front, but not all the details, so we are right there with the detectives and the ladies as we all work through the events trying to figure out what happened the night that… one of us is dead…

Haha sorry, I couldn’t resist! But really, this book is so good, it is entertaining, addicting, and I was caught off guard by that ending, I loved it! I cannot wait for this one to be in the world on Tuesday, 4/26 so that you can add it to your list and enjoy it as much as I did!

Thank you to @NetGalley and @BlackstonePublishing for the advanced digital copy and ALC to review.

🎥 Where my Bravo fans at? 👀

If you like the Real Housewives, you will love the newest release from @jenevaroseauthor out Tuesday.

This book is all of my favorite things:

🔪domestic thriller/mystery with a healthy dose of drama

🍿 Highly entertaining cast of characters

👀 Multiple points of view

🧩 complex relationships

🍒 juicy secrets

😸 catty quips


Told largely from the POV of Jenny, proprietor of Glow, the most exclusive salon in the affluent Georgia town of Buckhead. Glow is the central hub for Buckhead’s elite and all the mischief and mayhem that inevitably follows them.


Thanks to @blackstonepublishing @netgalley and the author for the early digital copies of the book and the audiobook. I loved that the audiobook touts a full cast bringing another degree of depth to the listening experience and. I thoroughly enjoyed this super fun thriller.


🫖 If you’re here for the tea check out this mystery meets Real Housewives new release due out Tuesday.

This book takes you into the elite world of Buckhead and a group of powerful women who are eager to do anything to be at the top. Jenny is the owner of Glow a high end salon that caters only to members that can meet the monthly requirements to stay a member. Only the best of the best get a spot at Glow and the waiting list to get in is long. A group of ladies use the salon weekly, some are friends and some are frienemies. The gossip is hot and the backstabbing is hotter. Who is dead and why? This book will keep you guessing until the conclusion. This was my first book that I read by Jeneva Rose and I look forward to diving into the other novels written by her.

Oh. My. God. I loved this book so much. The juicy drama, the darkness of their lives - I couldn’t get enough! I thought I had the ending figured out but of course came a little twist. Some parts had me laughing, others had me saying “damn”. I felt like I was watching Devious Maids and Desperate Housewives. I completely tore through the audiobook and I loved how each character had a POV. I can’t wait to read other books by Jeneva Rose!

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for the audiobook to review!

I really enjoyed this book! While I wouldn't necessarily consider this to be a thriller, it was a great mystery with a surprising twist at the end. The rich, snobby women were so awful but at the same time so entertaining! I thought that Oliva was the most interesting character...bless her heart!!

After being approved for the digital version, the publisher sent me a widget for the audiobook. I had planned to go back and forth between ebook and audiobook but ended up listening to the entire book because it was so awesome!! It had multiple narrators and they all did such a fantastic job and made it such a fun experience!

Thank you Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the e-arc and audio version of this book in exchange for my honest opinion!

Oh the drama!!! If you’re a fan of the Real Housewives, Selling Sunset, and Big Little Lies, this book is for you.

Told from the perspectives of 5 women, there are so many secrets— the biggest being that someone was murdered. Similar to Big Little Lies, the book alternates between the current investigation and the events leading up to the murder (and you don’t know who was the victim until the end!). These women are not nearly as substantial as the ladies of BLL; instead, they bring in the low brow drama of Real Housewives and Selling Sunset. A fun read just in time for summer!

Pub day: 4-26-2022

That’s the best way I can sum this one up… Drama drama drama!

This is a very fun and fast listen with Mean Girls vibes, even mentioning Regina George, and a twist I didn’t see coming! Having multiple narrators really brought this
one to life and I can recommend this as a fun summer mystery to add to your list!

Thank you Netgalley and Blackstone Publishing for the alc in exchange for an honest review!

(Will be posting to Instagram soon)

If you love any of the Bravo reality TV shows, especially the Real Housewives series, then this is the book for you. It could easily have the title: “The Real Housewives of Glow Salon!” This book is full of catty drama with a little murder thrown in!

Thank you @netgalley and @blackstonepublishing for allowing me to listen to this audiobook ahead of publication in exchange for my honest review.

This book is full of rich bitchy backstabbing wifeys and I LOVED IT. I could not stop listening to this one until it's jaw dropping conclusion. It gave me immediate Hunting Wives and Big Little Lies vibes. If you enjoyed those books, I think you would like this one. The only person I liked was Jenny, the owner of the salon and maybe Shannon. I loved to hate Olivia. I liked how the salon setting was used for all of their meetings and gossip just like in real life. All of the husbands were gross "boys club" kinda guys. This was a fun read and easy listen. The cast of narrators was awesome.

Thanks to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing- Audiobooks for access to this audiobook.

Holy Hannah this book was AMAZING!! No surprise there though; I absolutely loved Jeneva's last book, The Perfect Marriage.

If you are a fan of domestic drama or the real housewives or the book Big Little Lies, I highly recommend picking this one up! This was was filled with rich, catty housewives and, of course, a murder.

One of Us is Dead is fun and juicy... full of gossip and drama! This one is perfect when you're looking for a fast-paced and entertaining read.

My ONLY complaint is to NetGalley for their audio!! Why must these audios have such a robotic or synthetic sound?? It's so hard to get past that and thoroughly enjoy the story.

But as for Jeneva's book? Five stars. :)

**review for sound of audio NOT actual book**

This is the second Audio I have been approved for through Netgalley (ironically both have been books by Jeneva Rose) but I truly can’t get past the robotic sound of the audio. It’s awful to listen to and it takes away from the story. I don’t even think it’s the narration but more so something to do with Netgalley because last time this happened, a kind person from publishing reached out and offered the book on a different platform/app and it was so different than what I heard on NG! I do have an e-copy of this and am looking forward to reading that before pub day! I’ve heard great things about this one already!

Welcome to Buckhead, Georgia…yea you know the place where the infamous, “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘖𝘧 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘢" Bravo celebrities reign.

It’s all about power, money and manipulation in this town and this circle of women knows how to play their cards to win at any cost.
Jenny is a beauty bar owner where she is a one stop shop for all her clients needs. She can only have 20 clients and yes she charges out the ass for these gossip monsters.

All was well until one of there own was divorced by their husband for a younger model and things started getting dirty quick.

This is a book, you despise the characters and wish most of them will die by the end to make this world a better place.

If you look at fancy houses and wish you could be rich, read this and you might change your mind and realize life is good right where you are!

There is a cast of narrators and they all did a tremendous job.

Thank you @blackstonepublishing and @netgalley for my gifted copy

There is nothing like salon gossip and a bunch of ladies with too much time on their hands! I loved every moment of this deliciously drama-filled story....and that ending! If you enjoy domestic dramas, you'll want to grab this one. Bravo on another fantastic novel Jeneva!

Told from the perspective of five frenemies: Olivia (queen bee-yotch), Shannon (divorced and disgraced) Crystal (new hot young wife), Karen (the only mom in the group) and Jenny (the salon owner privy to everyone's secrets), One of Us is Dead read like a mashup of Real Housewives meets Big Little Lies. All of the women in Buckhead Georgia have secrets and most of their husbands are turds. They say, "Buckhead wasn't a place you lived. It was a place you survived." Alas one or more of the characters won't survive after these secrets come to light.

The salon setting reminded me of watching Steel Magnolias back in the day, a place where everyone congregates and gossip is served up under the hair dryers. This one is for those who love to read about rich people behaving badly and {hopefully} getting what's coming to them.

I read this in a single sitting. Loved having multiple narrators Andi Arndt, Hillary Huber, Elizabeth Evans, Brittany Pressley, Cassandra Campbell do the voices for the different female characters. Listening to the book really brought it to life. I felt like I was immersed in a soap opera.

True rating: 3.5 stars rounded up for Goodreads.

Special thanks to @netgalley for providing me with an ARC in electronic and audiobook formats for review purposes. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This books was WONDERFUL! Rich housewives in their worst behavior while readers know a murder is at the end was a huge selling point for me.

I loved all the POVs of the characters. Yes all the characters are vapid and selfish, but that’s what makes this so juicy!

I was completely hooked on this book and couldn’t put it down! I think this will be a perfect summer read while you’re lounging by the pool.

One of Us Is Dead is out April 25th. Thank you to Netgalley for this e-arc and audiobook!
