I enjoyed this one a lot. I love all Nicole's books she's an amazing writer and storyteller. This kept me guessing till the very end. Would highly recommend this book. It would be a 5 out of 5 stars for me

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the chance to read this book.

This was an instantly gripping story with some really dislikeable people and some who earned your sympathy. I didn't like the actions that were taken and don't agree with taking revenge, especially in the way it was done in this book. All of this combined for a book I couldn't put down even while it made me feel annoyed and frustrated at the characters.
Definitely a book I'd recommend.

Not my favorite Nicole Trope unfortunately. I usually love her domestic suspense novels, but this one just really dragged for me. I didn't like any of the characters, and I felt like the story never really took off, aside from the very beginning. By the time I got to the end, I just really didn't even care. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

My favorite Nicole Trope will always be The Boy in the Photo.

Will I read the next book Trope comes out with? Absolutely!

Title: His Double Life
Author: Nicole Trope
Publisher: Bookouture
Pub date: 2/28/2024

A wife knows her husband has secrets. When one of her twin boys goes missing and she receives a text, it is all about to hit the fan. Can they survive the secrets that unfold?

This story will have you falling down a rabbit hole of secrets and revenge.

The author wrote a truly unlikeable character in the husband. The more you read, the more you will dislike him. If you are like me, you will hope karma comes calling big and hard!

As far as the revenge aspect, all I could think was that the plan came with a heavy price.

I still donโ€™t know how I feel about the ending. It definitely wasnโ€™t one I expected.

Quick read and twists.

Thank you #NetGalley and #Bookouture for the opportunity to read this book.

I am a big fan of Nicole Trope, and I always get excited to read her books. I enjoyed this book, although I didn't think it was her best work. I'm looking forward to reading the next from this talented author.

Omg I slammed the door on my finger because I was so absorbed in the book. From the first page I thought there was more than just a affair going on. I had in no way prepared myself for how this story would progress.

Iโ€™ve read and really enjoyed other Nicole Trope books and this one didnโ€™t disappoint. It was full of surprises and each time I thought I had guessed what happens next I was totally wrong and there was another twist to the tale.

Leo Palmer is an estate agent in Sydney in one of the top estate agents, he drives a Porsche and seems to have everything he wants. He is married to Diana and has twin sons but he cheats on his wife while he is away at conferences. He seems to have no remorse about it or about persuading people to sell their house and agree to his terms.

Diana works hard as a medical professional and mum to two boys. One day she receives an anonymous text message and her whole world as she knows it begins to unravel.

I liked the way the book was split into chapters for each person involved and although it covered different timelines it was very clearly detailed and easy to follow. I really enjoyed this book.

Thank you the NetGalley and the publishers for an advance copy of this book in return for an honest review.

Enjoyed this revenge themed story as everything slowly unraveled!

My first Nicole Trope book, but won't be my last.

โ€œThe worst thing about being cheated on is the humiliation of living with someone who believes you are too stupid or oblivious to know what they are doing.โ€

Leo and Diana, seemingly happy couple with adorable twin boys, Rowan and Sawyer. But their world gets flipped upside down when Sawyer gone missing! A mysterious text points the finger at Leo, the husband with a not-so-clean history to tell the truth.
Diana knows she can`t trust him, but she`ll do anything to find their son back!

๐™ƒ๐™ž๐™จ ๐˜ฟ๐™ค๐™ช๐™—๐™ก๐™š ๐™‡๐™ž๐™›๐™š is like a ticking time bomb! It switches perspectives, letting you see the whole messy situation from different angles includes POV from Serena - Leo's mistress.

But the coolest part? Each chapter is a countdown to a major event teased at the beginning.
You just gotta keep reading to find out what goes BOOM!

Think you've figured out the plot twist? Uuhm.. Think again!
Nicole Trope throws in a curveball that'll leave you saying "Wait, what?!" 'till I felt like a detective piecing together clues just to solve the whole case in the best possible way, and to be honest, this is my first time to read Nicole's book.

Actually, theres was one character whose ending tugged at my heartstrings. I got attached throughout the story, but let's just say their fate wasn't exactly as sunshine and rainbows. A bit dissapointed maybe (?) but overall i love the story goes.

For me, this book is kind of a rollercoaster ride of suspense, secrets, and family drama that'll keep me guessing until the very last page! Got 4,5/5 โญ from me ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Already published on 28 February 2024. And thanks to @netgalley
And @bookouture for providing me this copy ๐Ÿ˜.

Nicola Trope is the one of my favourites when I want a twisty pacy thriller that I know will deliver and His Double Life once again hit the mark. Expertly plotted, well developed characters that kept me guessing from start until the finish. I couldn't put this book down, and loved every page.

We, and Diana, find out from jump that Leo is a gigantic jerk but just bad is it?

When Diana receives a text that their son will be returned "when Leo tells the truth" she decides that leaving isn't enough and decides to turn the tables on the dirtbag.

It's delightful.

Nicole Trope takes us on a wild ride with His Double Life. Amazing twists and crazy action keep you at the edge of your seat until the very end.

The title gives us a little hint to a double life. But what exactly is this double life? What secrets are hidden?

An absolute must read for thriller lovers.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Bookouture for this advanced copy ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ“š

This book was an interesting read, it had several twists and turns that I didn't see coming. Getting multiple POVs was very helpful cause there was always a lot going on in this book at the same time, but it could also be easy to get lost in all the things going on at the same time also. The grand finale ending was a nice conclusion to the book but I'm still not sure how I feel about the punishment to the crimes committed. This book will have me thinking about it for a while.

Another winner from this talented author. I love a revenge story, when the character hasn't got a clue what's going on but the reader knows just that little bit more. This one starts with a sucker punch, before making us wait a while to find out why such a terrible thing might have happened. It was deliciously taunting, the author leading the reader like the pied piper through the build up to a nail-biting ending. And a twist you can't possibly guess. A very satisfying read.

An enjoyable read that pulled me into a guessing game right from the start. The twists and turns will keep you turning the pages as always with Trope's books. Though not my favourite by this author, with a theme based on secrets, lies, deceit and revenge, short chapters and mutiple character POV's it was still a quick and easy read and will appeal to the lover of a good domestic suspense!
