This novel is so good, twisty and dark. My head is spinning and I don't know what to say about it. It's amazing and we'll written.

When you thought that you know who is the serial killer, the author shock you that you are totally wrong.

This is the first novel to me by Alice but will not be the last.

I was able to both listen and read His & Hers by Alice Feeney thanks to the generosity of Macmillan Audio, NetGalley, and Flatiron Books. I’m really grateful for this because I listen to audiobooks during the day and I read at night. I had a hard time turning His & Hers off so being able to transition over to a DRC and continue my fascination with this thriller was much appreciated!

There are three narrators in this story; Anna Andrews, her ex-husband, DCI Jack Harper and the killer themselves who uses a voice modulator so we are unable to ascertain their gender or anything else about them. Anna is a BBC reporter investigating a murder of a woman in the countryside village of Blackdown where she and Jack grew up, also where Jack now resides and works as a DCI. Things get a bit hairy when it turns out they both knew the victim and each had a fairly dodgy history with her. The story alternates timelines but does so in a way that gives insight in to the personal history of the characters involved. As more murders occur with Anna and Jack tied to the victims, it’s a race to find the killer before they strike again. One thing is certain, nobody can be trusted.

Fast paced with strong affecting characters and a twisty plot, His & Hers is a compelling read from start to finish. The complexity of the story adds to its allure and had me suspicious of everyone. Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine are perfect as narrators of Jack and Anna, the pacing is perfect and their voices a delight to listen to. The voice modulation of the killer is perfectly creepy and sent chills down my spine! Another fabulous story by Alice Feeney!

After last year’s disaster that was I Know Who You Are, I was a bit hesitant to choose this one to listen & review for NetGalley. I’m so glad I went for it though because this one blew my mind 🤯 I suggest going into this story as blind as possible. There are 3 POV’s : His, Hers, and the Killer’s (audio for the killer adds to the story with the use of a voice scrambler app in order to hide their identity). It’s so cleverly plotted from beginning to end. Narration is performed by heavy hitters, Richard Armitage & Stephanie Racine and they completely nailed it 🙌🏼 I cannot recommend this audiobook enough! It’s such a great example of how the audio format can elevate your experience with a particular story. Five star performance + five star story = Five overall stars for 𝐇𝐢𝐬 & 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐬 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a WILD audiobook to listen to and I have to give the producers credit for figuring out how to record it!
First, the plot. It is FABULOUS. A twisty, engrossing thriller with surprises at every turn! As we all know, multiple narrator, unlikable character, “unreliable narrator” thrillers are all the rage right now. I’ve read so many of them lately but few have been executed as well as His & Hers.

This deliciously twisty thriller is narrated partly by heroine Anna, a TV anchor/reporter, partly by her ex-husband Jack, a detective, and partly by the killer, who may or may not be one of these two characters. I absolutely loved the way the plot unfolded and revealed new characters. In the beginning you did not know who the characters were or their relationships to eachother, and the eventual reveals of these things were surprising and fun. The plot is so well-executed and fun to read. I enjoyed every moment of this book.

Like many thrillers of this type, a couple of the twists stretch credulity a little, but Feeney somehow manages to pull them off with carefully laid clues and great explanations of motive. You will be guessing whodunit throughout the book and the eventual answer and motive will be surprising and satisfying. Alice Feeney is masterful at manipulating the reader’s emotions, and I am here for it!

So the interesting thing about this audiobook is that it is narrated by "Him," "Her," and the killer. You don't know who the killer is until the end. So how does one execute this in an audiobook when a voice might give the killer away? This book came up with the innovative idea of giving the killer an electronically altered voice, like the electronic voice a kidnapper would use with a machine when making a ransom call. While this is a killer idea in theory, in practice I found the garbled voice a little jarring and tough to listen to. My brain struggled at times to comprehend the words and the electronic tone was a little bit like nails on a chalkboard to me. So regrettably though it was a good idea, it somewhat reduced my enjoyment of the audiobook. I am not really sure how else they could have done it. Maybe a totally different narrator? But then you would know the gender. I guess this will be a tough hurdle for future audiobooks with unrevealed murderers as narrators.

Having had the chance to read the physical book as well as listen to the audio, I have to say that I liked the reading experience better for this reason. I found the interruptions of the deep electronic voice a little jarring . Also, *minor audiobook spoiler* <spoiler> once the killer was revealed at the end, I think it would have been cooler to have the killer speaking in their own voice in the last chapter while they explained it all, rather than the electronic voice again.</spoiler> But, I still totally loved this book and its great plot and characters. Highly recommended as one of the better thrillers this year!

I was over the moon excited for the new audiobooks on NetGalley and this audiobook. I love Richard Armitage but sadly I was unable to listen to it because it would not download for me.

I enjoyed the audiobook. I liked having different voices for each character. As for the story, I really enjoyed it. It kept me guessing who it was.

Thank you so much for adding audiobooks! This is the best news ever.

Well what a way to start the exciting news with one of the best books I've read in 2020.

𝐆𝐨. 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬. 𝐁𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝. It's so much better when you don't know a thing. I honestly had no idea what direction this would go in. Each chapter was literally like peeling back an onion (hate that analogy, but it's true). You dive deeper into a story with so many layers and depths that I didn't see coming.⁣⁣

If you were on the fence about 𝙸 𝙺𝚗𝚘𝚠 𝚆𝚑𝚘 𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝙰𝚛𝚎, give Alice a chance to redeem herself with this one. Because it's awesome! Two narrators, him and her (𝘺𝘢 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘴𝘢𝘺?) made the story that much more intriguing!! ⁣⁣And I loved the dual narrators. LOVED THEM. Thank you for having a speed faster than 2.0 BTW. They were both amazing and really made the story. (I loved the distorted voice as well because it gave the perfect illusion of not knowing if it was a man or woman. GENIUS!)

I think I loved this so much because I was waiting for this kind of story to be told. It was JUST SO GOOD. Read this 100%!!!!

I have seen this one around social media and not only did the cover catch my eye, the blurb did as well. I was thrilled at the opportunity to listen and review the audio! I will start this review about the audio itself: the biggest issue I had was with the app in which I listened to the book. It was awful. It kept shutting off every 30-60 seconds for no reason. I was not able to listen unless my phone was unlocked. You can imagine my frustration at that. Thankfully, the narrators were spot on and brought this story to life. I felt they portrayed the characters perfectly. They felt believable and like reliable narrators.

The story itself was a little rocky at times. I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong, but I had some problems. I do enjoy a nice balance of character and plot driven books. This one... well... the characters, Anna and Jack, were dreadful They are rather horrible people apart and they are even worse together. They were certainly fleshed out and woefully flawed, but there were times they almost overtook the plot of the story. They were self-centered to the point where I wanted to skip ahead to see if the author had moved on from them. I didn't want to read an entire thriller about two nasty people who are rather rude no matter what. The further I got into the story, I did get the backstory of why they were the way they were, but it didn't give them a pass for being despicable.

I know it sounds like I truly did not like this book but I did enjoy most of it. The character personalities were not my cup of tea but I stayed with this one for the actual plot, which was good. The ending did not blow me away but it was entertaining enough to hold my attention.

Anna Andrews almost has what she wants, to be the main presenter of the BBC’s lunchtime news.
She has worked really hard for this, putting work before her friends and family, and her ex-husbandDCI Jack Harper. But when someone threatens to take this all away from her she is ready to do anything to keep it. There’s a body uncovered in Blackdown, where Anna grew up and the victim turns out to be one of her schoolmate, she starts covering this story and she is very soon at the heart of it as the body count keeps increasing.
As it turns out Anna’s ex-husband DCI Jack Harper also knew the 1st victim and had been in touch with her hours before her death, but he does not reveal this to anyone including his ex-wife.
Someone is not telling the whole truth and this book alternates between the points of view of Jack’s and Anna’s (His & Hers).
A total 4-star for the awesome ending in this book, fully totally loved it!

I’ve read all of Alice Feeny's books and I have to say that His & Hers is my favorite, by far! It's a mind blowing psychological thriller, with twists that will keep you guessing throughout and an ending that took me completely by surprise. Definitely one of my top reads so far this year!

Thank you Netgalley, Macmillan Audio, and Libro.fm for the free ALC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
I always get super excited about the newest Alice Feeney thriller, but since I can’t ever seem to get my hands on an ARC, I often order the UK edition since it’s released first. About a week after my copy arrived from across the pond, I almost screamed when I saw it was available as a July ALC! Literally downloaded and started listening immediately. I didn’t shut it off until I had finished.

If you also plan to listen to the audio, let me just say: Don’t be fooled by the opening narration! At first I thought the quality was absolute garbage and I didn’t understand how they expected anyone to listen to the whole thing, BUT it quickly becomes apparent that the way the narrator sounds is intentional and it’s only for small bits, so I got over it very quickly.

HIS & HERS is like the rated R, adult version of Pretty Little Liars that I never knew I needed in my life. Alice Feeney writes some of the most twisted and deranged fiction I’ve ever read, and I am all for it!

Make no mistake, this is by no means a realistic plot, but it was so much fun that that never mattered to me. I was just along for the ride, and what a ride it was!

Towards the end I was thinking it would probably be a 4-4.5 star read for me, but then there was one more completely unexpected twists that blew me away! All the stars! And I’m ready for her next book please.

First thank you to Flatiron Books for the advanced reading and listening copies. This is the second work that I’ve read by Alice Feeney and each time I’ve been left feeling totally shook.

This is told through 3 alternating perspectives. You have Anna, Jack, and the killer. I highly recommend this on audio for the simple fact that there are 3 different narrators users.

The voices and pacing were perfect for this story. I loved how the third voice was the “killer” so you were not sure who it was because it was a disguised voice.

Some trigger warnings: rape, animal cruelty, death of a child, domestic abuse, murder, suicide depictions (Alice Feeney tends to write some dark, twisted material).

I had this figured out about 50% of the way through. Then that changed and by 70% I had it figured out again. Then that changed and by 92% I had it figured out. Then that changed and I didn’t know the truth until 97% of the way when it had to literally spell it out.

Full of vivid, twisted, gory descriptions, we are taken though the lives of Anna and her BBC job. We see Detective Jack and his partner Priya. Alternating between present day, childhood, marriage, children, you will see the lives of these characters and how this whole story is twisted together after a woman that both Anna and Jack know has been murdered. The real question is who did it and why?

I couldn't listen to this one can horny figure out how to listen,didn't have problems with the other one!

OVERALL- an engaging and enjoyable thriller with lots of twist and turns!
REVIEW- this was a very good, in-depth and complicated thriller, it kept you on your toes throughout and cast the net of suspicion very wide. I enjoyed it being narrated from his and hers point of view - you were never quite sure who’s version of events to believe. I thought the main characters Anna and Jack were very believable and very engaging to me the reader and although they did bad things you were still rooting for them which is a complement to the author. The locations were all well set and believable and had just the right amount of everything. The story, although a very typical thriller theme, I still thought it was done very cleverly and worked well especially the twisty ending.
But it wasn’t without its faults which is why it didn’t reach 5⭐️ for me. While initially I enjoyed the philosophical approach to the narration from both his and hers point of view by three quarters of the way through it got a bit tedious and made the book drag a little and I felt a bit like some of the scenes were just book bulking and it was time to get on with it. It took a bit of a pull to get me back into it but by the last chapters I did and they were excellent so just a minor little niggle to an overall excellent read.

This novel is just s.o. i.n.s.a.n.e.l.y. t.w.i.s.t.e.d. I listened to it in a day. The narration is excellent while the plot gave me chills and thrills and a total shock at the reveal.

The title "His & Hers" is a dark twist on the cute lovey-dovey inscriptions, but in this case, those are the points of view in a dark murder mystery in which he & she are actually involved in the case.

First, we have Anna Andrews: a very ambitious career woman, a divorcee with lots of drama and an alcoholic. Anna is flawed, but also very likable. She sacrificed everything to climb the ladder to get her dream job as a BBC reporter, but when the woman who has this job before returns, Anna's position becomes less than secure. So, she is compelled to take a risky murder investigation in a town she grew up in... and buried some secrets.

Second, we meet Jack Harper: another ambitious character with domestic life drama and a tendency to ruin everything in his love life. Jack is the investigator in the same murder case, except... he knows the victim. Intimately. He was actually having sex with her earlier that night. It would be smart to leave his case but... he can't.

And finally, the third point of view is the killer's. Sounds like an easy way to give away the mystery, but Feeney did a great job keeping the killer's anonymity till the end. Not only that, but she also kept dropping conflicting hints at VARIOUS characters, for instance repeated phrases, making it impossible for me to put down this audiobook.

*Thank you to the Publisher for a free advance copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, I think Alice Feeney has written her best book yet. A story of love and betrayal and revenge is told from two viewpoints his and hers. Tension begins to build from the first page and it doesn't let up until the very end. While the story is told from two viewpoints we also have a third person the narrator, who is obviously the killer. Every time the narrator starts talking about why someone had to die I am convinced I know who the killer is, until the next time when I'm sure it's someone else. I really was not surprised at the ending until I found out it wasn't really the end. This is one book that you won't want to miss.

Holy (insert your choice of expletive here) Moly. This book is literally the definition of the mind blown emoji. This is by far the BEST thriller I have read in 2020. I cannot even explain my thoughts right now because I’m still a little mind blown.

The twists, the turns, the red herrings. All of it was amazing. I usually am pretty good at guessing who did it and why. This book had me guessing until the very end, and I still didn’t guess correctly. Every chapter I felt like a detective trying to solve the case, and I was left with such a satisfying and beautifully executed ending. I went and re-read a few chapters knowing the spoilers that I do now,
and it made the book THAT much better.

At first, I didn’t enjoy the dual perspective chapters. I felt like it was almost repetitive. But, a few chapters in, it made me wonder how the other person was going to react in their chapter and I looked forward to it. It was a clever chapter writing style that paid off in my opinion. It kept me engrossed and helped with character development.

I will say, the journal entries voice distortion was probably the hardest to listen to. I know it’s done intentionally, but it was like nails on a chalkboard to get through those entires. Though, they were the most important.

His & Hers is by far, my favorite thriller of the year. I’ve read many thrillers, but this one takes the cake. Thank you Flatiron Books & NetGalley for the ARC. I will be purchasing this hardback when it comes out as this is a book everyone needs on their bookshelf.
