Wow what a fantastic story! I was gripped in from the beginning and second guessed nearly everyone but still missed some of what actually happened. Be prepared to not be able to put this down, I was up to the small hours as had to know what happened!

My Sisters Husband by Nicola Marsh is a story of sisters. Two sets of sisters all intertwined with each other make for an exhilerating and suspenseful book. A dual timeline story that takes us back and then to the present day in order to show us that history may be ready to repeat itself in a shocking way.
Brooke and Freya are sisters, they were brought up with their cousin Lizzie by their Aunt Alice. Brooke has been gone for eleven years and has had complicated relationship with Freya that has carried through the years. Brooke decides to return home when she receives an invitation to Freya's wedding, and Lizzie lets her know how ill Aunt Alice is. Brooke arrives home and finds a few things have changed, Aunt Alice is a shadow of the woman she remembers due to early onset of Dementia and the bigger surprise is that Freya has a daughter, Hope. To top it all off, she realises she knows Freya's husband to be...a face from the past.
The book shows us the past and the type of relationship Alice and her sister Diana, Brooke and Freyas mother, had, then, we can begin to understand and maybe start unravelling the plethora of emotions and jealousy between these sisters in the present day. 
The story of Alice and Diana is an engrossing one and I really got sucked in to all the characters lives here. Full of surprising twists and little snippets of truths being dropped slowly but surely throughout and I enjoyed every revelation as it came. The shocks keep coming and you don't have a clue what to expect anymore. There are that many secrets, lies and way too much jealousy between siblings so it makes for such a juicy, enjoyable domestic drama.
Thank you to Bookoutire and NetGalley for the copy of the book for my review today.

I really enjoyed this story and will look out for the author in the future.
Brooke is called back to her home town for her sister Freya’s wedding after eleven years away.   What caused her to leave and can she rebuild her relationship with her sister and Cousin Lizzie.   The book is written from several characters POV and in two time frames.   You’re hooked to find out how the past links to the present and who is telling the truth.
A great read.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A story of sisterly rivalry ,secrets and lies. Two generations of sisters who fall for the same guy in their time. Bit stereotypical in that we have the one pretty and popular sister and the other who feels overlooked.Actions and there consequences drive this story.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher, Bookouture and the author, Nicola Marsh for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.

The author really knows how to weave together multiple storylines, as well as keeping the secrets at the forefront of the story.  This family has some major past lives and secrets, and all of these come together at the end to make a great story.

Was the end a bit far fetched; I do believe so, however it really didn't cause me to not like the book.  I did enjoy how it ended, and was really rooting for the main character to have a great relationship with her aunt and her 'cousin'.   I will always read this author's books, and I cannot wait for another one.

First, I want to thank Nicola Marsh, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me this book so I can bring you this review. 

Oh WOW!! The family drama in Nicola’s Marsh’s newest book My Sister’s Husband was crazy!! If you thought your family was toxic you need to read this book!

Nicola dedicates this book to her brother Paul. She wonders if you are glad she is nothing like the sisters in the book?

Interestingly enough I had some similarities to the character Brooke. I too am a strawberry blonde and older sister by 11 months. Ironically, we too have a strained relationship and dont see eachother often. However, that is where the similarities end. 

Nicola’s prologue is good and so true to a point in my mind. It definitely caught my attention. 

The book goes into the past where you learn more about everyone’s backstory.

My heart broke for the reason Brooke was coming back to town but happy she was going to be reunited with her sister that had not seen in years. 

You will definitely find out why it is called My Sister’s Husband! Very interesting story! 

The more I got to know Freya the more she rubbed me the wrong way. Needless to say I was not the biggest fan of hers. 

What a totally shocking ending that not only did I not see coming I was livid with some of the characters!!

I think I have found another favourite author. Wow. Nicola Marsh has created a book full of lies and secrets, family and passion, love and hate, all rolled up into a seriously well written novel with characters you will not forget. This book has 2 generations of sisters, with sibling jealousy unrivalled in any book I have ever read.

This story has several voices. There's Alice who is bringing up the daughters of her sister Diana and her husband Cam who died in a car crash. Then there is Freya and Brooke, Diana's daughters who have massive secrets of their own. 

Brooke leaves town when the love of her life, Eli, commits suicide and spends many years away trying to put herself back together and assuage herself of the guilt she feels for his death. She returns when her sister Freya tells her she is getting married and wants her to come to the wedding. When she returns she finds her sister has a child she knew nothing about, and her sister's fiancé isn't the stranger she thought he was.

I finished this roller coaster of a novel today, realising that I was hardly breathing towards the end, such was the intensity of the finale. Whilst I had guessed some of the plot twists, others took my breath away. A brilliantly composed book with the power to shock - right to the end.

My Sister's Husband by Nicola Marsh is a suspenseful novel that will hold the reader's interest until the very last page.  It is about a family and the secrets that are kept throughout the generations.  Alice and Diana are sisters who are in love with the same person.  Alice keeps her feelings to herself but greatly resents Diana for the attention she receives from Cam.  Alice resents most things about Diana and this resentment turns to a secret hatred over time.  In the next generation two sisters named Brooke and Freya are the children of Cam and Diana.  These two sisters are also both in love with a person named Eli.  Freya keeps her feelings hidden and like, Alice, secretly hates Brooke for all the attention and love that is bestowed upon her.  There are so many twists and turns in this novel that it is almost impossible to predict what will happen.  Alice ends up raising Brooke and Freya and although she is very kind to Brooke she does sympathize with Freya when she realizes that Freya has the same feelings toward Brooke that she had toward her sister Diana.  What happens during this novel will take your breath away!  Secrets and envy can destroy families in so many ways.  I was finishing this novel at 1 am because I had to find out how things would end.  I enjoyed this novel immensely.  Thank you so much to Nicola Marsh, Bookouture, and netgalley for allowing me to read this novel in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is the story of Brooke and Freya but also of their Aunt Alice who raised them alongside their cousin Lizzie and Alice’s sister Diana. Of history repeating itself and what can happen when sibling rivalry turns into adult envy. How it festers like a wound garnering resentment.

Narrated by Brooke, Freya and Alice and with a non linear timeline this could have been a confusing complicated read. However in the skilful hands of one clever author this was easy to follow and both stories and timelines were equally compelling.

The characters made me feel like their parent and being asked to choose a side. Which made me question if my thoughts and loyalties would differ if I was myself a younger sibling rather than the eldest. Sibling rivalry is something I grew up with and I saw a lot of myself in both Brooke and Diana. This is where the author has really hit the nail on the head, making the characters extremely relatable. However my own rivalry was more over parental affection than boys.

As each tantalising secret is slowly revealed you are left wondering if there will be the same outcome but there are more shocks yet to come.

Filled with secrets, lies, jealousy and snide remarks this is domestic drama at its best.

Wow! Just when I thought I had figured out all the secrets I am surprised by another one. So many lies. Family secrets, jealously, anger, and confusion. Reading the story from the various character's viewpoint kept it interesting.

So many unreliable narrators!  This book alternates chapters between sisters Brooke and Freya, and Alice, the aunt who raised them from young girls.  But they aren't the only unreliable characters in the story! And it's okay, you the reader are in on it.  But the devil is in the details as you try to figure out what secret each may be hiding.

I love how the author wove a parallel thread between a young Alice and her popular sister Diana, and her jealousy of her sister's husband, with Brooke and Freya, and Freya's jealousy of Brooke and her boyfriend, Eli.  Marsh paints a picture of a genetic tendency toward jealousy, vindictiveness and manipulation in the family starting with Brooke and Freya's mother that made me cringe at several points in the story.  So good!

But the surprises and twists come at lightning speed throughout the book - all of a sudden, BAM! a secret is reveled, and just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, BAM!  - here comes another twist you didn't see coming.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an advance reader's copy for review.

This is a suspenceful domestic thriller. I am relieved that the relationship with my siater is nothing like the one in this book. Lies can break up a family and secrets will always urface. Full of twists and turns, this will keep you guessing until the end. Thank you NetGalley for my ARC!

Jealousy, bitterness and resentment!! What more can you ask for from a book! Told from 3 POV I spent my time either picking my jaw up from the floor or desperately trying to guess what was going to happen! Brilliant read.

My Sister's Husband was an enjoyable thriller, but you really have to suspend your disbelief for most of the story to work and especially the ending.

Brooke and Freya are sisters, but Freya is exceedingly jealous of her older sister. Their relationship mirrors the one that their Aunt Alice had with their own mother. who died in a freak accident (along with their father) while they were both babies. They also have an cousin who is just a bit older than them, Lizzie, who returned to her childhood home after school. Brooke hasn't seen or spoken to any of them in ten years, after she left town after her boyfriend killed himself by jumping off the cliffs behind her home, but now Brooke is back to celebrate her sister's upcoming wedding, to a man Brooke seems to recognize. And, since Brooke's been gone, their Aunt Alice has developed early onset dementia and Freya, who is now a nurse, keeps her locked in an upstairs bedroom to "keep her safe."  

The premise is interesting. Sister hating sister and continuing that through the generations. But neither Freya nor Alice are all that likeable. We hear part of the story from past Alice, which means that we don't really feel as sorry for present day Alice as I think we're supposed to. Her being locked away in a closet when there's obviously something else going on seems pretty fair, honestly. And Freya is just obnoxious all the way through. She complains all the time about her "perfect" sister, Brooke, but the way it's written, Brooke's a pretty normal person who the reader feels for, and the rest of the characters are just off. For the whole book. 

The big twist is definitely a big twist, which I didn't see coming. And I really liked big twist, although I'm not giving it away here.. It was big enough to not make me regret reading this one all the way through. I just wish the good-bad elements/characters weren't quite so clear cut. A bit of gray area here and there might have made for a more interesting read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing me with an e-galley of this book in exchange for my honest review. It has not influenced my opinion.

Nicola Marsh has written a remarkable novel brimming with tension, alongside oodles of drama, evil, lies, infidelity, jealousy secrets, and unsettling moments. I found it absolutely absorbing and compelling from the first until the final page.

Brooke had a complicated relationship with her younger sister, Freya, and they displayed an array of emotions, so well portrayed by the author. Told in dual timelines from a variety of viewpoints there was a lot of back and forth and a great deal going on but I managed to keep occurrences and events straight in my mind for the most part! Throughout My Sister's Husband, I found myself pondering who could and could definitely not be trusted and I think this served to enhance the overall aura and vibe of the story.

The characters, the narration, the twists and the plot were all excellent and this was one of those books where everyone is not particularly personable but this adds enrichment to the story, so you love it anyway. Very highly recommended, I look forward to Nicola Marsh's next novel.

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from Bookouture via NetGalley at my request and this review is my own unbiased opinion.

Wow--I really enjoyed this domestic thriller! The author did a good job of intertwining two parallel stories together, and the pacing of the story was perfect.  The secrets and mystery unfolded slowly over the book, but it wasn't slow paced at all!  The short chapters and quick action kept the story moving at a face pace.  This is one of the better thrillers I've read this year and I plan on reading Nicola Marsh's previous books.  Five stars!

My Sister’s Husband, is the third domestic suspense novel that Nicola Marsh has written and I have to say that it is right up there as one of the best I have ever read in the genre! Nicola Marsh just smashes this one out of the park and has delivered on everything and more with this book!

The plot had me instantly intrigued and the more I got into the story, the more I felt like I couldn’t get enough of it. I was furiously flicking through the pages, desperate to know the secrets hidden within and they did not disappoint, with one each one more shocking than the last!

The book opens with a prologue that sets up the flavour of the story and from that moment on, hits the ground running. In the same way that her previous two books in this genre drew me in, I had no choice but to finish this book in one sitting and when I was done, I had one major book hangover!

When I say that I had no choice but to keep reading, I am confident that you will have the same experience. This is because of Nicola Marsh’s writing style, which is just so captivating. Her use of language brings the story to life so vividly in a way that has you engaged with it and connected to the characters.

The cast of characters assembled are first class and have been perfectly created. I enjoyed the way the narrative was told from the perspective of three of the characters and the way they brought the story to life. I particularly enjoyed the flashback scenes which enhanced the story and how what transpired in the past has shaped the present.

My Sister’s Husband is such a thrilling read. Full of twists and turns and shocking revelations, which all lead to a jaw dropping conclusion, makes for an emotionally charged read. It was my absolute pleasure to be able to read and review My Sister’s Husband which I highly recommend.

Thank you to Nicola Marsh, Bookouture and NetGalley for allowing me to read an advanced copy of My Sister’s Husband, which I have reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

Wow, what a wild twisty plot. As soon as you think you know what happened, or is going to happen you learn another bit that changes everything. Niclola manages to create an amazing book with all the feels. Thanks to Net Galley,the author and publisher for chance to read this ARC

I was fortunate to receive a copy of this ARC from NetGalley.

Wow, this book is brilliant!

Weaving between two time lines about sisters, family, death, how all consuming jealousy can be and events and decisions that are still impacting on future generations. Events are revealed gradually and my loyalties changed to different people as I was reading! 

My favourite quote:
"All the years we've wasted crashing over me in a sorrowful wave."

Published today!

A good and interesting read!

I would recommend this to everyone who loves a good story with captivating characters! Definitely a good read!
