My Sister's Husband is the latest book from Nicola March. Get ready for a roller coaster ride! I can't tell you how many times I said "OMG" while reading this. Ms March does an excellent job of making the reader want to turn more pages, while in shock from what they just read. I want to thank NetGalley and Bookouture for an early copy to review.

I really struggled with this book despite being excited to read it. The prologue pulled me right in. But the first chapter consisted of ALL background info that had no place in a first "attention grabbing" chapter, and the dialogue was forced. Emotion was told instead of shown. This continued several chapters in and was incredibly distracting -- I ended up skimming large portions just to get past this point. It's odd, because in other places the author has an incredible writing voice.

CRAZY & Unpredictable. This was a page turner. Everything is not as it seems! Had me hooked & up all night! You won't regret reading this story, I know I didn't!

The sunroom at the back of the house is just as I remember. I can’t taste homemade lemonade or smell oatmeal cookies without thinking of home, of the beautiful cliffs of Martino Bay, and I feel welcomed. But all thoughts of a happy family reunion are destroyed the moment I see him…

He’s as handsome as I remember: broad shoulders, piercing blue eyes, hair the colour of burnt toffee.

The man who once meant the world to me. The reason I fled eleven years ago. I’ve never told anyone the terrible mistake I made that night. The secret we share. I’m still haunted by the crashing waves at the bottom of the cliffs, the blood…

But what is he doing at my sister’s house?

And then I see her. My baby sister. She smiles, she tips her hand so I can see the ring. And his arm slides around her waist, pulling her close…

Ever hear the expression "history repeats itself?"  In this book it does exactly that, starting with Aunt Alice being so insanely jealous of her sister Diana's husband that she plots her death.  No spoilers, but the next generation grows up pretty much the same way, with Freya being extremely jealous of her sister Brooke.  Told from both the past and the present, and from several different points of view, this book and it's twists will keep you guessing.  I know I guessed wrong a couple of times.  This is a pretty good thriller, thanks NetGalley for the chance to read it.

Told via alternating voices (with both past and present being heard), this book has lots of what makes a good mystery, secrets, lies, and family members! Some aspects of the books I guessed the plot twist, others did come as a surprise so overall it was good.

This book was great fun- it was a fast-paced and twisty read.  It centers on 2 generations of sisters, with a timeline that jumps back and forth over a 25ish year period.  Brooke and Freya are sisters and have been estranged for 11 years since Brooke left town after the death of her boyfriend.  The girls were raised by their Aunt Alice who took custody of them after their parents died when they were quite young.  You learn that Freya has always been insanely jealous of Brooke, a relationship that mirrors the one Alice had with her sister Diana (the girls' mother) years ago.  Both of these relationships were broken up by jealousy leading to bad behavior, and both centering around a man.

The author delves into the dynamics between both sets of sisters as well as between them and Alice and does a great job painting a picture of how it felt to be in each of their shoes.  There were multiple secrets exposed in this book some that I had no idea were coming.  The book culminates in a shocking act, then explains all of the unanswered questions.

Overall, great book with a lot of satisfying twists; another hit by Nicola Marsh.  I'd recommend it for sure to anyone who enjoys domestic suspense and psychological thrillers.  Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I really wanted to love this book. The synopsis has me requesting this book from Bookouture and waiting for it to appear on my kindle. Unfortunately once I started reading it didn’t have the hook I wanted to keep me interested. The story was just too slow to kick in and I lost interest. 

Thanks you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Sister rivalry and jealousy centered around two sets of sister spanning two generations describes this story perfectly.  Brooke and Freya are raised by their aunt Alice.  Freya has always coveted what Brooke had, including her boyfriend.  Aunt Alice’s path years before with her sister and the girls mother, Diane, was very similar.  Told through multiple narrators going between now and then adds to the suspense and keeps you guessing.

Layers of lies and many twists make this suspense thriller a fast paced fun read.  I was hooked from the beginning!

I wish I could say it was an amazing book as I loved the description. I started the book but unfortunately the beginning lacks 'something special' that is necessary to keep going. I have to say it was too slow and predictable for me.

This was a hot cracker of a book!  Had me hooked from page one and did not let go until I closed the book. A dark tale told through three generations of a family. It all began to unravel early in the book and kept up a good clip of deteriorating all the way around.  Should we trust those we know so well in life? And at what cost. So many creepy secrets along the way. Each more unbelievable than the last!  And those secrets cause a massive amount of pain to all. 
Just can’t say enough about this psychological thriller!  Perfectly executed and left me exhausted. 
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. 
Big 5 stars for me!

Thank you Bookouture and Net Galley for a great read.  Very fast moving and I enjoyed the plot.  I figured out most of it but the ending surprised me. You don’t want to miss out reading this one!

OMG this is a crazy book, but oh soooooo gooooood! 
I loved, loved, loved the lies piled upon the deceit piled upon the betrayal. It was like unpacking an early birthday gift wrapped in tons of paper and with every layer I pulled away another secret was revealed. I really admire the author’s brains. It’s an amazing story she came up with. 
It’s highly entertaining. It’s devastating. It’s heart breaking. It’s ruthless. It’s… I could keep going on for quite a while. You just have to read it to experience it too. 
Jealousy is not only called the green eyed monster. It turns people into monsters as well, but karma is also a force to be reckoned with.
I have already read a lot of amazing books this year. This one deserves a place in that category for sure. 
It just was horribly good. 5 stars

Thank you, Nicola Marsh and Bookouture

My Sister's Husband by Nicola Marsh is a twisted roller-coaster ride. This book gives new meaning to the old saying: With family like this, who needs enemies? The women in this book are immersed in secrets. Big, explosive secrets. Told from three points of view and forays into the past, this book will keep readers up at night.

Brooke has been away from home for 10 or 11 years and has only returned because her Aunt Alice is experiencing dementia and her sister, Freya, is getting married. Freya finally feels like she has something over on her big sister, Brooke. She has a sexy fiancee who loves her, Brooke is single and alone. If only Freya knew about the former relationship between Brooke and Freya...

Aunt Alice has secrets too. Brooke wants to know Alice's secrets and how they connect to her parents. But someone in the family wants the secrets to stay buried. And maybe they wouldn't mind a few of their family members to be buried, too.

Very good read! I was completely immersed in this book and couldn't put it down. Knew to me author that is sure to be a star.

What a great book of twists, lies and secrets you don't see coming!  My Sister's Husband had me hooked from the first page until the last.  As always, Nicola Marsh weaves a very entertaining story that will keep you guessing.  Highly recommend!
Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Ten stars to the author for this one,  A riveting, memorizing story that kept me up until two a.m.  Couldn't put it down until I finished it.  Highly recommend

This is a WTH kinda book?! I loved it! 
This thriller was everything and then some. 
The story was amazing and it grew so much. 
The plot was very well developed. And Marsh really knows how keep us glued to the pages. 
The ending????? I just can't and you wont even see it coming.

Thank You NetGalley, Publisher and Author for this copy.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the Kindle ARC of My Sister's Husband. This book was a great surprise, as its not the typical type of book I would choose. Two sets of sisters, one in the recent past and one in the present, harbor secrets from each other, lies to each other and plenty of deception. Loss of life, love, children and trust are the results. It was hard to put the book down once I started and I was eager to get back to it.

How many secrets can one family have?  A lot, evidently.  Centered around two different sets of sisters, and set in two different periods, it is full of secrets, so many secrets and jealousy and evil.  This book is like a train wreck you can’t look away from, and I enjoyed every crazed minute of it.

Diane and Alice are sisters, and Alice hungers for everything Diane has and will do anything to have it.  Fast forward nearly thirty years and her nieces Brooke and Freya are in the exact same place.  History seems to be repeating itself with a slightly different outcome.  If you can suspend disbelief, this is a great mystery/suspense novel with many intriguing twists and turns.  I did have an idea where it was heading, although I missed one crucial step, so it still surprised me in the end.  A new author for me, so I look forward to reading more by her.  Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with the opportunity to read it.  I gave it four stars.

Ooooh, what a wicked web of secrets and lies Nicola Marsh weaves in her latest suspense-filled book, My Sister's Husband!
From the off, I was pulled in to the story of two pairs of sisters, with lives and experiences that mirror one another, in an uncanny way.
Brooke arrives home, to celebrate the wedding of her sister, Freya, to Ryker, after a lengthy absence, and finds herself reuniting with family, and finding out way more about her own history than she ever imagined,
Just how twisted can a person can be? I was on the edge of my seat, as I read this book, and though I spent most of the time trying to second guess the outcome, I was so off the mark when all was revealed. 
Definitely a recommended read!
Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Based in the US, this is the story of two sisters, Brooke and Freya.  After leaving the family home 10 years ago, Brooke is now returning for Freya’s wedding.  She has had very little to do with her family for those 10 years, but when she meets Freya’s husband to be Brooke is shocked to find her past coming racing back to her.  There is also another storyline running alongside of Aunt Alice, who brought Brooke and Freya up, and her sister Diana.  It’s a compelling and gripping read of 2 different sets of sisters, divided by the generations.

The stories of the four women are told through Alice, Brooke and Freya’s individual points of view.  The storylines switch across between past and present, with Alice’s story told in the past, and eventually meeting up with the present-day story.  Brooke and Freya’s relationships were obviously strained, but it was interesting to see how they reacted with each other after so long.  I liked Brooke’s character and felt for her returning after so long away.  So much had changed for her and there were things which she didn’t know about, and then there was the shock of who her sister was marrying, which was obviously difficult for her to process.  I also liked Freya’s character and was excited for her forthcoming wedding, unaware of how her sister was feeling.  As the story moved on though, both sisters’ characters changed and there began to be more mystery and intrigue around them both.

Whilst the storyline does jump back and forward a bit, this was in no way confusing with the author writing in such a way that the crossover between the different time frames was unnoticeable!  I loved Alice’s character, both in present day and in the past.  Her storyline for me was the most interesting and I loved how she did her best for both the younger and, ultimately the older Brooke and Freya.  The relationships between both sets of sisters were filled with resentment and jealousy, and there were many lies and secrets which were threatening to come to the surface.  The story began slow, giving you a chance to get to know the characters and their backstories, but quickened dramatically as the stories came to their conclusions.

The author has written the story very well, keeping the suspense high at the right times and the mystery of what was going on was kept hidden until the right moment.  Filled with so many secrets this book held my attention throughout, with all of those secrets making sure I kept turning those pages!  This was a gripping and thrilling read, filled with suspense and suspicion throughout.  Would definitely recommend!
