A nice easy read that kept me engrossed throughout. Had some good twists and wanting to know more, would like to explore more of this authors work xd

One of the best books I've read. Jessie woke up from a coma and suspects her husband is cheating on her. This was a great book

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of The Liar I Married. This one kept me on my toes, I never knew what was truth or not. I still think John was the biggest sleaze bag, how did all of a sudden he change to a loving, caring husband? Alex was the Best character and also Maria. I’m glad they were in Jess’ corner. It all came together at the end which is always good. The epilogue, the phones, not necessary.

A great book with a ton of red herrings. I didn't know who to trust, except for one person, who I even doubted at one stage as well. I had no idea what the ending would be. I am thankful that I got approved for this book, because it is such a great book.

Opening my eyes, I see a nurse standing over my bed. She wipes away my tears as she tells me I was in a car crash and it was my fault. Confused, I only remember snapshots of my life, but I'm not convinced the crash was an accident. My marriage has been perfect, until my husband John, met Rebecca. He said they were just friends and that I was imagining things when I saw them cosied up like they were on a date. Now, as I lie in my recovery bed, fragment of that night come back to me - John late home from work, an empty wine glass, Rebecca climbing out of John's car, a blazing row on the doorstep....

This thriller kept me guessing the whole way through. With so many twists, you never knew what direction the story would take next. I was suspicious of everyone. Jessie has been in a coma for nearly a year. We are told the story in a dual timeline - the present day and the events that took place leading up to the accident. The ending tied up all the loose ends.

I would like to thank #NetGalley #Bookouture and the author #DKHood for my ARC of #TheLiarIMarried in exchane for an honest review.

Wow, this book is full of twists and turns. Nothing is as it seems. The story is told in a well developed plot that holds attention and creates suspense and concern. This was a great read with characters that are wonderful.
This was dark and I absolutely loved it!

If you love The Perfect Marriage, the Housemaid, or Girl on the Train you need to read this book! I was hooked from the first page. How can someone that's supposed to love you til death do you part become the suspect in your "accident"?

D.K. Hood once again proves why she’s such a reliably entertaining author, pulling me in from the very first sentence and not letting go until the final page. This tense, twist-filled domestic thriller kept me second-guessing everyone’s motives — just like the protagonist, I didn’t know who to trust. The pacing is brisk, making it a surprisingly quick read despite the emotional intensity. Hood layers suspicion, memory gaps, and simmering marital tension into a compulsive story that’s as unsettling as it is addictive. A great pick for anyone who loves thrillers that keep you hooked and wary of every character.

This book is a gripping domestic thriller packed with tension and unexpected twists. The characters are compelling, each adding to the web of secrets. The setting provides the perfect backdrop for the suspense, keeping you hooked from start to finish.

I listened to this as an audiobook. This book grabbed my attention and kept me engaged in the story through the entire book. I loved that the main character wasn’t sure who she could trust pretty much until the end. Great read! I look forward to reading more from this author.

I love a book that grabs me and I just don’t want to put down.
Thrillers are definitely my favourite genre and I really enjoyed this one.

Thank you net galley for the arc. This story was so good ,it,s full of twist and tension..Jessa and John are married for 8 year and jessa wake up from a coma and doesn,t remember anythning or trust anyone.she is told the accident was her fault. this was a solid thriller

What a great fast paced thriller. The twist was one I did not see coming! I thought I had it figured out and bam it went in a total different direction. Kept me on my toes the entire time in the best way! I will be recommending this book to others.

A different kind of story from this author,no less enthralling with a major twist. Believable characters, great story.

I mean wow wow wow wow and WOW!! I DEVOURED the audiobook as much as I could! My head was all over the place! I couldn't believe the situation we were in, and I loved the chapters counting down to our present day.

John irritated the hell out of me! Couldn't he see what his behaviour was doing to Jessie!! And then it felt like it was excused after a while!

Alex to me was golden! What a support and a friend. Although maybe he could have tried harder with the radio silence! I did find it odd that no one came looking for Jessie!!

This book does mess with your head; it was stellar! I had no idea who was real and what was real! So many secrets and so much deceit that all you can do is go with the flow of the book.

It really was fantastic, and I didn't want to put this down ever. My mind was boggled every step of the way, and I was tempted to just jump to the end as I was getting impatient. I didn't, I lived every moment with Jessie when she was awake!

This is a book I won't forget in a hurry, where the wolf hides in plain sight!!

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC first book by this author and I really enjoyed it kept me hooked

Really enjoyed this and will read more by this author

A car accident sets the initial scene of this book. The story unfolds as it flashes between prior to the accident and the now when Jessie finally wakes up from a coma in her grandmother’s house which she was set to inherit as part of the full estate, worth millions.

While I thought I had put the pieces of the puzzle together early, the story telling kept me turning the pages, wondering if I was right or was there another twist coming, was someone else involved?

In the cast we have her husband John who is suspected of affairs, of fathering other children, alienation of affection as he focuses on his career and is away more than he is home and their interactions lack affection.

Her brother Matthew is a stockbroker working at the same firm as John and is the one person in the family Jessie relies on, to share her fears with, and goes to for guidance in times of trouble.

Alex, is a new friend she makes when she starts art classes, but is it a true friendship of is he connected to all that is happing around her?

The carer at the house and the other staff, can they be trusted?

The corporate Lawyer, Rebecca, with stunning looks and constantly at John’s side, are they just colleagues and friends?

As secrets are uncovered and the truth revealed, the story wraps up in a tidy bow and happy ending. While the part of me loves a HEA, the other part of me wants to scream at Jessie for how quickly she overcomes and forgives the hurts of the past.

This book was so good! There are not many books that I've read that have my emotions all over the place but this one definitely did and I loved every minute of it. I was happy, sad, angry and everything in between. One of the few books that had me staring at the wall when I was done, just processing the amazing writing and storyline. Will 100% recommend and will most definitely be reading again

WOW! this book was sooo good. I was on a cruise while reading it and the story had me so captivated, I neglected looking outside :-). the story was very unpredictable and I could not put the book down. The characters were formed very well. And the story line was really good. I had no idea where the story was going but, I felt bad for the Jesse, the main character. She totally got gas-lighted. I highly recommend this book.

Thank you NetGalley for the early access!

I loved the storyline of this book but the characters were all exhausting!!

Jessie put up with too much from her husband even prior to her accident. John, the husband, was an arrogant man! Rebecca was a selfish person that knew she was out of line. And don't get me started on Jessie's family.

Whew, drama for days!
