I found this book very interesting until the end which i though was rushed and a bit of a let down. it was building up to something so sinister and then it ended with a happy ever after mum and daughter, it needed much more of a punchy ending

A Perfect Life..?
Does anyone have a ‘perfect’ life? Anna thinks that Lynda does - so imagine Anna’s surprise when she begins to work for her and finds that things are not quite as rosy as they appeared. Things are about to get much worse. Dark, slow burn domestic suspense with a keenly observed cast of characters and a plot littered with twists and revelations - despite some loose ends and unanswered questions.

To Anna, Lynda epitomizes perfection - a thriving marriage with Ryan, a luxurious Seattle mansion, and a successful fashion empire. However, as Anna steps into her role as Lynda's personal trainer, the façade of perfection begins to crumble.

The novel skillfully unravels the layers of secrets and lies that Lynda and Ryan have carefully hidden. Anna finds herself entangled in a complex game of manipulation, where reality is elusive, and the boundaries between truth and deceit blur. The story takes unexpected turns, keeping us on the edge of our seats, eagerly anticipating the next revelation. I could not put this book down.

As Anna navigates the treacherous waters of Lynda's world, she discovers that perfection is merely a mirage. The characters are well-developed, and the author expertly delves into their psyches, exposing the darkness that lurks beneath the surface. The tension escalates with each page, building towards a shocking revelation that shatters Anna's perception of reality.

The aftermath of this revelation propels the story into a new dimension, leaving lasting consequences that redefine Anna's life. This is a riveting exploration of the human psyche and the consequences of pursuing an illusion of perfection. Lynda Adams's seemingly flawless life serves as a cautionary tale, reminding readers us that beneath the surface of perfection lies a world of secrets waiting to be exposed. A must read!

Lynda runs a multi-million dollar hair business. She lives in a gorgeous mansion with her husband Ryan, who works for her business. Lynda has some self-esteem issues due to some weight game over the past couple of years. She hires Anna, a personal trainer. Lynda is worried about staying on track, so asks Anna to move in.

Anna quickly realizes that Lynda and Ryan's lives are not perfect. As time goes on, Anna becomes wrapped up in their secrets and lies.

This is an average read. It's super predictable (except for one twist I didn't guess). Some parts felt a little too drawn out for me. The fitness influencer part kind of bogged things down as well. I also don't really see how the title works for this one. Anyways, not a terrible read. I will still give this author another try.

Thank you Celestial Bear Publishing and NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review. Lyn

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC
Great domestic thriller. Anna is an influencer who is asked to move in with Lynda and Ryan as her personal trainer to help her get back in shape. Lynda is a successful woman with a cheating husband, Ryan who just wants her gone. It doesn’t take long for Anna to realize things are terribly wrong.
There are so many twists in this book. You will not see the end coming.

Thank you Celestial Bear Publishing and NetGalley for an early copy of The Wife Inside. The title could be better, didn’t really pertain to the story. I knew Dimitri was no good from the beginning. I stayed with the book because I wanted to see how the weight loss journey turned out and that part was good but the other plots in the book didn’t really go with the main story. It wasn’t one of the best books I’ve read but I’m still glad I did read it.

Now this is everything you want in a domestic noir! So many twists and turns, well written characters and an ending that had my jaw on the floor. I also loved that it felt such a fresh and original plot and I was absolutely Hooked

The Wife Inside is a well written book with surprises galore - which is what a psychological thriller should have, in my opinion.

Lynda runs a large business and her husband Ryan is a serial cheating opportunist. Lynda is working to keep her marriage in tact and has let herself go. Thus, she invites Anna to move in with her and be her personal trainer and food guru.

Anna begins to hear the secrets that the couple are keeping from each other and each one surprises her. Lynda reveals a huge surprise and Anna begins to fear for her own safety.

A fast paced thriller.

A very interesting thriller. Lynda is a very successful business woman with a cheating husband, Ryan who just wants her gone. Anna is hired to move in with Lynda and Ryan as her personal trainer to help her get back in shape. It doesn’t take Anna long to realize that something weird is going on in this house. There are so many twists in this book. It’s for sure a page turner. I was Not expecting the ending at all.
