I read The Wives over a weekend. It started out well, fast paced and punchy. Yet I felt the pace dropped off somewhat during the second half of the book and I felt the plot lost its direction. Still I felt compelled to finish it. I would rate this book 2.5 stars. Thank you to NetGalley, HQ and the author for the chance to review.

Review
Yes, Yes, Yes and Yes. This book hits the spot in oh so many ways. It’s clever, addictive and keeps you guessing. I read it in a weekend and couldn’t put it down.

Thursday is married to Seth, she adores him and is the perfect wife. She cooks and creates delicious meals for him, soothes his furrowed brow when he’s had a difficult week and is exactly what he wants in the bedroom. But Thursday only sees her husband on a Thursday and for dinner on a Friday. Because Seth is also married to Monday and Tuesday. Monday is expecting Seth’s baby and Tuesday, the first wife, holds his heart as his first love.

This creates insecurities and jealousy for Thursday. Where does she stand in the pecking order? She wants Seth for herself and doesn’t want to share him any longer. So she searches for Monday and Thursday, creating plans to meet them. But things aren’t as they seem and Thursday’s searching means that things can never go back to how they were.

I Absolutely Loved this book. The whole story had me gripped from the start.

I rate this book 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 and would rate it higher if I could.

Thanks
Thank you to the author and publishers HQ for an advanced copy of this ebook in exchange for an independent review.

For me, a first book from this author.
It's a psychological thriller based around Thursday and her husband Seth and their foibles. He apparently, grew up in a family of polygamists and has gone down that road himself, having three wives. None of them know each other although they know of the others existence.
I found it very intense, sometimes unbelievable, and the ending was not surprising.
Thanks to NetGalley for a review copy of this book.

This was an unusual read for me but I really enjoyed the twists and turns within the story I didn’t at any point see what was actually happening very well written loved it would definitely recommend it.....

I loved this book, it held me all the way through from beginning to end. I feel that this could be turned into a film as it kept me wanting to find out what happens in the end. I really didn’t know who was doing what and to whom a wonderful book.
My thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

A genuinely taut and suspenseful thriller with so many twists and turns I was dizzy. Certainly didn't see the end coming as it did. Highly recommended.

Omg, loved this book.
Started off a little slow for me & I wondered if I could be bothered but soon got into it.
Would never have guessed the ending & so glad I stuck with it.
Never read the author before so didn't know what to expect.

The Wives is a page turning, psychological thriller told by an unreliable narrator - all the ingredients for a book I would normally love so, I was very excited when I received a copy from @netgalley.

Unlike many thrillers, told from the perspective of an unreliable narrator, Tarryn Fisher manages to create twists that feel original. Strangely, I am not sure how I feel about this due to the following…

The first half of the book reads really quickly and you get to a point where you are ready for something huge to happen. Something that gives you that “Woah!” moment. For me, that moment didn’t ever really come, leaving me more frustrated than intrigued.

I cannot decide if I liked the book or not, therefore, I am going to sit on the fence and say 3 and a half stars.

The first book i have read by this author and oh my i loved it. Full of twists. What a journey and it certainly will blow your mind. I was hooked all the way through. I would recommend this book to everyone. You just don't know whats around the corner Loved it.

A brilliant read which was hard to put down. You really don’t need to know any more. Don’t read the blurb. Don’t read reviews. You’re wasting time. You could be on the first chapter already....

Oh this book! What a gripping read it was. For the first few hundred pages this book had me turning, and turning, and turning again to try and uncover the truth. It was a very fast-paced thriller and as it neared the conclusion things felt a little less gripping to me – but that’s always the way with a thriller, you’re bound to get to the end at some point! Nevertheless, a book that has you gripped from start to finish like this one did is definitely worth four stars.

This book is undoubtedly a Must read book. I truly want to say to many things but I know it will spoil all the fun for every one who are willing to read this book. This is a psychological Thriller once you start it you wouldn't be able to put it down. The constant suspense throughout the book is so intriguing that will keep you glued till end. Many time you find yourself that you figured it out the situations and the happenings but the next you found your jaw dropped to the floor by the mind bending turn in the book.
Full of shocking twist and turn that you couldn't fathom for a while for what you have just read. And I am still reeling by the astonishing and mind boggling End of the book.
Guaranteed you won't be disappointed.
Highly Recommended to all those who like mind-twitting, suspenseful, and psychological thriller.

P.s in my opinion it would made a good movie if some movie prodoucer/director adopt It, like Gone Girl, or girl in the train.

I would like to say Thank you to Netgalley for providing me this Mind-boggling book.
And Hats off to Tarryn Fisher for producing such an astonishing book.

Really enjoyed this book! Interesting premise with a fun lead character - loved the moment when it was revealed that her name was actually Thursday.
The hospital twist made you question who's side you were on and who you believed, the ending made for an interesting and unpredictable twist.

3.5 stars.

This book sounded like it was going to be a very good story but I found it very confusing. I didn't like the character Thursday but in general the book was an OK read. Not sure that I would truthfully be able to recommend it though

Thursday loves her husband Seth so much she’s prepared to ‘share’ him with his two other wives, Monday and Tuesday.

But then she discovers a piece of paper with what could be one of the other wives’ name on it and starts to wonder about the other women in Seths life. She knows she shouldn’t, mustn’t, but cannot stop herself trying to find out more about them and that’s when things start to unravel.

This book has some really interesting characters and the plot is unlike anything else, but it is plausible. The only thing that I was frustrated by is the ending, it is really disappointing, however this version has an alternate ending that was a lot better.

A great read!

Fantastic read with so many twists and turns that I couldn’t make my mind up about the truth until the end. It is well written, easy to read and the main character is endearing.
I haven’t read a book by the author before but will be looking for more to read.
The book is in America and focuses on a woman who is married to a man who is a polygamist- has more than one wife. She ‘shares’ her husband but does not know the others. The book begins with her being quite content in herself but slowly throughout the seeds of doubt set in where she wants to learn more about them. A fantastic read and would recommend
Amazon.co.uk

Thursday is married to Seth, there is also two other wives in this relationship. Seth is a polygamist. Thursday struggles with this and tries to investigate the other wives so she can decide why she isn’t the number one wife!
Ultimately there will be consequences for all concerned.

Oh I so wanted to love this book but I just didn’t connect with it the way I hoped. It’s well written but I didn’t really like Thursday or Seth!

Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book, once I started it I couldn’t put it down, plenty of twists, could not work out what was going on, really had me guessing till the end

Goodness. A compelling thriller with twists and turns to the last page. An intriguing plot of manipulation, cruelty and multiple spouses. I really couldn't guess how this would end. A really good read. I highly recommend as a page turning thriller.
I am grateful to Netgalley for sending me a forward copy in return for an unbiased review.

I have never read any books by Tarryn Fisher before and when I saw all the hype for this book I thought I would give it a try and wow - I am so glad I did! I flew through this so quickly as I literally just could not put it down. I NEEDED to find out what was going to happen.

It is all about a woman called Thursday who appears to be happily married to Seth. She only sees him once a week as is a polygamist and has three wives! All of his wives are all aware of each other. They just do not know who the other wives are. None of them are allowed to contact each other.
Thursday starts to get curious and question Seth more and more about the others until she finds a way of secretly contacting one of the wives.

What transpires will keep you hooked to the story and it will keep you guessing.
I do not want to say much more or it will spoil the story.

I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoy a good psychological thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley and HQ for sending me the ARC in exchange for an honest review. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
