I was very excited to read this book. While it was good, I did feel it was a little drawn out. The plot was enjoyable and the characters were fine. It was a tad hard to follow sometimes. Over all I would recommend. Thank you for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Wow! What a whirl wind of a story. Suspense, edgy and gripping. Literally kept me hooked and second guessing everything.
Managed to read this in a couple of sittings as I did not want to put it down!

I’d like to thank Storm Publishing and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘The Perfect Affair’ written by Angela Henry in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

At a social function Paige Nichols sees her husband Aaron with his colleague Cara Morton and can tell that if they aren’t already having an affair they soon will be. When Cara mysteriously disappears Aaron is considered to be a suspect but as Paige looks for proof of her husband’s innocence she finds out about Cara’s past and her devious behaviour.

From page one I’ve been gripped by ‘The Perfect Affair’ and thoroughly enjoyed reading it. The plot was compelling as the characters narrated the story through their own eyes and with the odd red herring thrown in I was kept guessing as to what had happened to Cara. There was a fair amount of intrigue, drama and suspense throughout and although I got a bit confused with the number of characters involved especially at the end there was a final flurry of twists and turns before I reached the surprising conclusion. This well-written thriller has kept me glued to my Kindle and is the first I’ve read by this author. I’ll definitely be looking out for more novels by her.

The book description sounded very good but I found it just dragged on and on. I wanted it to be good but I just couldn't get into the story. Sadly this one wasn't for me.
Thanks to Netgalley and the pubishers for an ARC in exchange for my honest review

I spent NYE curled up with this one because I could not put it down! Paige Nichols meets her husband’s colleague at a faculty mixer. He has just been named department head and she instantly knows something is amiss.
Paige believes Aaron when he says he’ll break things off. But Clara is a woman scorned and she starts making accusations, causing problems and not quietly going away.
Then Cara Morton disappears without a trace.
Everyone is this book has a secret. You will be guessing until the last page! I just reviewed The Perfect Affair by Angela Henry. #ThePerfectAffair #NetGalley

This is the first book I've read by this author. I went into it not knowing what to expect.

I liked the premise of the story. It just felt a little contrived to me. The couple involved in the affair just didn't ring true. They seemed like an unlikely match.

There are a lot of characters in this one. Some were not needed and added to the confusion of the story.

I felt for the wife in the situation but really couldn't connect with anyone very much.

This just wasn't a great one for me. Although plenty of others have really liked the book, so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Thanks to netgalley and Storm publishing for the arc.

A very good book but for me, it just had too much going on.

It was definitely a nail-biter novel where when you think you have it all figured out, you are sure to be rudely informed that you don't.

I am a big thriller fan and this was a very decent story. I had never read a book from this author before so I was not sure what to expect. I will definitely read another story from this author.

Thank you to NetGalley & Storm Publishing for this ARC!

Paige meets her husband’s college at a work function and instantly knows they are having an affair. The way he looks at her, the way they act with each other.

Paige gives Aaron chance to break things off with Cara, he agrees, but then she goes missing - is Aaron the one to blame?

This book is full of twists and turns, having you change your mind frequently on who you think is to blame. Then bam the ending takes one final twist that we didn’t see coming

My final read of 2023 has left on a high, highly recommended

I found the beginning of this book slow going, but that could have been because I wasn't feeling well when I started it. Once the plotline was established and I knew more about the characters involved, the pace picked up and I read the second half within a day. There were a lot of suspects and although at one point I suspected the actual murderer, I had changed my mind and had been convinced it was someone else entirely by the end, but I won't spoil the ending!

This one was an amazing domestic thriller with lots of twists and turns. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc. This was a new author to me, but I really enjoyed the plot and trying to figure out who did what, and I was shocked at the end!

This book hooked me from the beginning. I read it in one sitting. It had the perfect blend of love, hate and forgiveness.

My first impression of this book was I'm going to like this! I was into the book right away, and I think any reader will be quickly drawn into the story. It has 2 different timelines, but it is done in a way that is not confusing.
(Trigger warning for anyone who has experienced an affair and its emotional fallout)
This was a book that I did not want to put down, and couldn't wait to pick it back up!
There are so many twists and turns. This story kept me on my toes, and I thought I knew the answers, but the twists always got me! I love a book that is not predictable.
The book is well written and played like a movie in my head. I do think there were too many twists, took away from the story just a little. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys thrillers or psychological thrillers. Or anyone who just wants a thrilling read! 4.25 stars

Whew! Where do I start! First, let me say that this book is wonderfully written. I loved the author's style of writing. I was hooked from the very first page. Aaron and Paige appear to have a wonderful life but here comes Ms. Cara! It's always that one person who seems to mess up everything and Cara is definitely her. BUT, the twists and turns throughout this book definitely made for an awesome read. I NEVER would have guessed the ending. I didn't figure out who one of the culprits were until almost the end, but even then, I still didn't have it figured out! Talk about a whirlwind of shocking emotions. That ending though! You just have to read it for yourself. It's really good. The book would have ended well without that last chapter, but it does add to the twists of the story.

What a novel!!!
Thrilling all the way thru!!!
Not a time waster, First time that I have read this author and they did not disappoint.
Page turner for sure, when I thought I had things figured out something else was thrown into the mix. The Ending was even a great surprise!

Thank you Netgalley and Storm Publishing!!

I received a complimentary copy of this book "The Perfect Affair" and all opinions expressed are my own. I downloaded the book, started reading and then I was approved for the audiobook. I definitely think the audiobook held my attention more. I did not like the narrator though. I felt that there was so much going on in the story and quite a lot of characters, which made it complicated. Not sure that I agree the title fits the story. So I was glad it was an audiobook since some parts dragged a bit and overall hard to keep up with everything going on. Overall okay but not recommended.

I received this book as an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

I originally thought this would be a regular, run of the mill thriller that I wouldn’t remember after I had read the last page but it was everything opposite to that.

The characters were well developed throughout the story. I felt as if they were all people I knew in my real life and I found myself cheering some of them on and really hating others. As the story developed I changed my mind about some of the characters and felt I understood them more as the book unraveled.

This is a story about cheating in a marriage. It is the story of several worlds turned upside down. It is a story of a missing person. But it’s so much more. I loved this book more than I imagined I would and I would highly recommend it to any of my reader friends and family.

I can’t wait to read more from Angela Henry and want to thank the publishing house for allowing me this opportunity .

Oh this is good. I was expecting to like it but I loved it. It is so super twisty. The end is so unexpected! I was shocked.
If you like thrillers - this is the one!

Thanks to Storm Publishing, Angela Henry and NetGalley for giving me this arc in exchange for an honest review.

When Paige Nicholas meets her husband's new colleague she instantly knows they are having an affair and Cara Morton seems to enjoy flaunting their romance.

Determined to fix her marriage she believes her husband Aaron when he says he'll break things off but then Cara makes an accusation about Aaron that threatens to end his career as a college professor. Paige stands by her husband, but doubts creep in. Is Cara telling the truth? Or is this all part of her dangerous game?

Then Cara Morton disappears without a trace.

Paige knows her husband can keep secrets. She’s keeping dark secrets of her own. But is he a killer? The police seem to think so. But they don’t know Cara. They don’t know about her past. They don’t know what she’s capable of…

A great reason why I enjoyed this book so much was the author's writing style. Although some of the sentences were short, the characters were flawed but we could understand them and it was a rollercoaster of emotions that I could not put down.

I really liked the fact that the book focused on the motive behind the crime , this really allowed us to understand the characters more .

Perfect for readers who love unpredictable endings and don't mind a cheating trope (it's not the main focus in the book although it is referred to from time to time) it still is worth it because of the awesome plot.

As the book starts, we meet college professor, Aaron, who is having an affair with his colleague, Cara. Aaron's wife, Paige, quickly discovers her husband's affair. Cara suddenly goes missing and Aaron is the prime suspect.

The story alternates between the past and present (post Cara missing). The story is told through Paige and Aaron, and a few sprinkles of a detective's POV.

I thought I knew where this book was heading, as affairs are often in thriller plots. However, the author takes the reader on a novel (pun not intended) journey in this suspense packed story. The character development is excellent. There is so much going on with each character. that you will have no idea where the story is heading. The book is super easy to read and quick paced. You won't be able to put it down!

Looking forward to more reads by Angela Henry1

Thank you Storm Publishing and NetGalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly a huge thanks to Storm Publishing and NetGalley for my advanced reader copy. If I  am being truly honest this is one of those good books that stay with you long after you are done reading

The book follows Paige ( a nurse ) and Aaron ( a professor) who on the surface are a perfect couple with a beautiful family. All that changes when Aaron begins having an affair with his new colleague (Cara). It's true what they say all that glitters is not gold and when Aaron tries to break things over all their bottled-up nightmares surface. With an accusation threatening to tear a family how far will Aaron go to win back his wife and Paige to protect her family? Then Cara disappears and it's now a game. of car and mouse trying to find who dunnit.

Fast-paced, addictive, thrilling and a page-turner! One of 2024 must-read books if I must say so myself.
