I loved this book. The majority of the story the reader is guessing who I telling the truth. And is there a part of the truth we, as the reader, is missing. Highly recommend to any fan of domestic thrillers.

I received this as an audiobook. The story is told from multiple points of view and I did have to up the reading speed a few times for one of the characters. Overall I enjoyed the story and the narration wasn’t bad. The story is about Meghan, Cole, their daughter, Hazel, and the drama they’re all dealing with. There were plenty of twists and while I did predict a couple of them, I still really enjoyed this audiobook,

I enjoyed the dual narration and multiple points of view of this audiobook. The web, in this narrative, has been woven by both Meghan and Cole; their daughter, Hazel, is trapped in the middle of this pair's deceitful existence. There were a few unexpected twists, but I found the end rather uninspiring. If it weren't for Meghan's sweet disposition toward Ziggy, the family dog, I'm not sure I would have found anything to like about her. I think the entire family needs therapy! This is, however, an entertaining and suspenseful listen.

**UPDATE** I listened to the audiobook and still love this book! The dual narration by Kaden Catalina and Jay Parker made it feel like I was reading it for the first time. I definitely recommend listening to this one if you can!

I love Shade Owens’ thriller novels, so I was excited to read this one. It definitely didn’t disappoint. This domestic thriller is full of suspense and delivered through short chapters, which I really appreciate. There are various POVs to keep things interesting and nonstop twists and turns that are unpredictable. Entangled in a serious game of cat and mouse, I wasn’t sure who had the advantage over who. I was entangled in the pages right along with these characters. Working hard to determine what was true and what wasn’t had me up late at night in a trance. I just had to know what was going to happen in the end. The drama in these pages was at an all time high! Another great piece of work by Shade Owens! Her suspense/thriller novels are definitely auto reads for me now.

Thank you NetGalley, Booksprout, and Red Raven Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

*The Webs You Weave* by Shade Owens is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into the complexities of trust, betrayal, and survival. The story follows Meghan, a woman trapped in a toxic marriage, and Cole, her husband, whose secrets unravel their fragile relationship.

With vivid prose and compelling character dynamics, this novel is a captivating exploration of human vulnerability and the lengths one will go to protect their truth.

This was fast pace and had great narrators. There was a few twists and u count stop listening it. I finished in two day!

The story was predictable and annoying. I finished listening to the book, assuming the ending was going to be something unpredictable. But nope. Also, the dialogue was beyond bad and unreal.

The cover is spot on for this one but not the title. I found the storyline predictable and unbelievable and a little all over the place at times in terms of I felt I had missed a bit. The characters were downright awful with Megan being top of the list. I just couldn’t stand her. The narrator did a good job and held my attention. It did all come together in the end but I had already seen it coming. It was only ok.

2.5/5 🌟🌟/🌟

Thanks to Netgalley and Red Raven Publishing for the opportunity to listen and review #TheWebsYouWeave

I absolutely loved this book. The multiple POVs made the book really compelling and the premises was really good. It’s more original than a lot of thrillers I have read recently. Owen’s keeps you guessing until the very end.

Big thanks to NetGalley and Red Raven Publiahing for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

3.75/5 Audiobook of The Webs You Weave by Shade Owens

The female Narrator did a good job going from the different POV, especially for Hazel the teenage daughter.

The story centers on Meghan, who’s recovering from a life-changing brain injury, and Cole, her husband who’s working hard to provide for Meghan and their daughter, Hazel. But here's the twist—Cole has a pattern of infidelity, and Meghan is starting to notice some troubling signs that make her suspicious.

Absolutely mind-blowing plot! The dual narration, with alternating first-person perspectives, added so much depth and gave the story an extra oomph that made it feel even more immersive.

Cole’s Narrator was a little slow paced for me at times but over all they did keep my attention. I usually enjoy reading along with my audiobooks so this was a nice treat.

I received a free copy of the audiobook, The Webs You Weave by Shade Owens, from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This story a gripping psychological thriller that had me hooked from start to finish! Meghan’s descent into madness was nothing short of mesmerizing—her twisted mind unraveled in ways that were both shocking and fascinating. Just when I thought I had a handle on where the story was headed, Owens threw in another unexpected turn that left me reeling. The tension builds masterfully, keeping you on edge as Meghan’s web of manipulation grows tighter and darker. If you’re looking for a thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page, this one delivers in every way. Highly recommend!

Book recommendation for all my Frieda Fans! If you need a new book to read this is it! Cheating husband, psycho exes all come spiraling down to reveal more and more secrets that all have been woven together. Highly recommend

THIS WAS REALLY HARDFOR ME TO GET INTO. THE MANY POV'S HAD ME SO CONFUSED! OVERALL THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK AND I WOULD DEFANTIALY RECOMMEND IT!

Thank you so much NetGalley for letting me listen to The Webs You Weave! I thoroughly enjoyed this one! The twists and turns were great! Had my mind thinking one way but in the end it went another. I just love when a book can prove me wrong lol. This was my first book by this author but definitely will not be my last!

This book took me a while to get into. The pacing for the first half is very slow, and it felt like not much was happening... more like a prolonged setup than a developing thriller. It wasn’t until about the two-thirds mark that the story began to pick up, with one particular moment at the end of Chapter 62 finally sparking the kind of tension I had been waiting for.

After that point, the story becomes more engaging, though somewhat predictable. I found myself anticipating many of the plot developments, but there were still a few surprises that stood out, especially the reveal of the person who supports Meg towards the end.

In terms of characters, the early narrative presents Meg as the difficult one, while Cole appears sympathetic. But the deeper you go, the more complex their dynamic becomes. Cole clearly has deeper issues of his own and he is not a good persona at all, and by the end, it’s clear both characters need a lot of therapy.

Meghan isn’t an unreliable narrator, but she is emotionally raw, and the story is shaped strongly by her mental and emotional state. That perspective can be intense but occasionally distancing.

Final thoughts: If you enjoy slow-burn psychological stories centered on fractured relationships and emotional tension, this may be for you. It requires patience, but the final third delivers a more compelling experience.

🎧 The narration was solid and steady, helping to carry the story during slower sections.

This review reflects my honest opinion based on an ARC provided through NetGalley.

Thank you to Netgally and Red Raven Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read Shade Owens' book The Webs You Weave.
Megan knows her husband is cheating on her, but Cole tells her she is paranoid. Megan questions herself as she has a traumatic brain injury. The longer Cole spends late night at the offices, Megan knows she is not going crazy. How far will Megan go to prove she is not wrong.

This book started off well and grabbed my attention from the start. I felt it dragged a bit in the middle and became quite repetitive. It was a quick easy read

This one has you asking ‘what the heck am I reading’ right from the get-go!

Meghan and Cole are married…for many years.

Meghan was a dentist, but a horrific accident has left her scarred and damaged…and post TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury).
She lost the use of her arm, and, her face is disfigured as well.

Cole, her husband, works in a firm with a high paying salary and male chauvinists as bosses… but he’s right up there with them. He seems to go through MANY assistants per year! But…why??

The picture of them that’s painted seems just perfect! Until the edges start to fray…. And reality peeks in…
He says she’s delusional and psychotic.
She says he’s a serial cheater.
Who should we believe? If anyone????

And, they have a daughter, Hazel, who is a teenager… So, like most teenagers, she has her own agenda…

The book spits out little nuggets of information as you go along. Some you’ll take in stride. Others, well those will just floor you!!! 😮😮

Also, you’ll be wondering just WHO to believe throughout the book! (At least, I was!!)

Many of the twists will leave your jaw hanging on the floor… 🫣
Some will just leave you shocked and paralyzed!
Happy that I was able to pick out ONE of the many, for what it was, pretty early on… But don’t get me wrong. I still kept questioning my reasoning! But I was correct!

And, in the end…well, I NEVER saw that coming!

Oh, and make sure you read right up til the last page! Again, my head was spinning!

On a happy note, there is Ziggy, the sweet dog! 🐶 🐕

Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! But I loved it!!

The book was ok, it has some twists and turns the character is a bit arrogant and I can't stand people like that. The narrator is hard to understand at times.. Not to bad a book but also not the greatest due to the narrator.

This was a very interesting read. It reminded me slightly of The Last Mrs. Parrish, but the twists were a bit different. In this book, Meghan and Hazel are forced to deal with the consequenes of Cole's actions. There were some moments that got a bit confusing, but over all I thought it was a good thriller! Each of the side characters were important in their own respective ways. I knew after a while that one of the side characters would be a key factor in the story, but I didn't realize who it would be until closer towards the end. The narrators also did a great job with their respective characters and I felt portrayed their emotions perfectly.
