Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for the eARC! What a ride!

Cora wakes up from a coma after a terrible accident, only to find she doesn’t remember her husband or anything about her past. From there, the story unfolds into a gripping, fast paced psychological thriller that’s dark, tense, and full of secrets, lies, and betrayal.

The characters are deeply compelling and well crafted, pulling me in right from the start and holding me captive until the shocking finale. L.G. Davis expertly weaves twists and red herrings that kept me guessing the whole time I never knew who to trust.

As one of my favorite authors, I was eager to read this book, and it exceeded all my expectations. This is, without a doubt, my favorite of her novels so far!

A huge thank you to NetGalley and thr puplisher for the chance to read and review this fantastic thriller I’m excited to recommend it to everyone!

When Cora wakes up following a bad accident she has no idea who she is or who the man is sat by her bedside. He says he’s her husband and she’s safe at home after being in a coma but she can remember nothing of her life. As she slowly begins to build up her strength she finds out they are caring for his Aunt Mary who has Alzheimer’s but Cora is convinced there is something else going on as she keeps telling her odd things and is convinced that her friend Margaret is missing. As Cora sets out to find out what’s going on and what her husband is hiding in the basement ia she in more danger than she realises and could the truth be something she’s better not knowing! This is a dark claustrophobic read not to be missed!

An absolutely brilliant psychological fast paced thriller of a dead, tense and full of lies and deceit with great characters.

I was involved in the storyline from the very first page and couldn't read it fast enough, it just got better and better.

The ending was fantastic with everything brought to a satisfactory conclusion just great storytelling

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I have no hesitation in recommending.

This gripping story follows Cora Harrison, who wakes up after a terrible accident… with no memory of her life. She’s introduced to Ewan, a charming man who says he’s her husband — but something just doesn’t feel right.

I truly felt for Cora the entire way through — the emotional depth of her character was so powerful. L.G. Davis did an amazing job building her up and making the reader feel everything right alongside her.

The book grabs you from the very first page — fast-paced, unpredictable, and filled with twist after twist. Every piece of the puzzle fit together so cleverly. Dark, intense, and completely addictive… I couldn’t stop reading.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend to any thriller lover!

Wow—this book had me hooked from start to finish! I was constantly trying to figure out what was going on, and I loved that I never could. This was my first read by L.G. Davis, but it absolutely won’t be my last.

The story kicks off with Cora waking up in her home, completely unaware of who she is or where she is. Her husband, Evan, tries to help her piece together her memories, but from the very beginning, something feels...off. This fast-paced psychological thriller kept me on edge the entire time, and the ending? Completely shocking and unexpected.

I don’t give out many five-star ratings, but this one earned it.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC. I can’t wait to recommend this to all my friends—it’s a must-read, and I’m excited to dive into more books by this author.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for an early copy of Not His Wife. This was a hard book to get into, took very long and I wanted to not finish a few times. Try to get through the first half because WOW then it really picks up speed and makes your head spin!!!! The twists and turns in the latter half of the book is soooooo good. The epilogue is a terrific twist too. Great plot when you understand how it all comes together.

Oh my goodness what a rollercoaster of a read! It's 2:48am and I'm reeling over this one. WOW! A shocking, remarkable, wonderful thriller. Amazing story! I loved every page, so many twists and turns… Fantastic read, gripping story and so many surprises!

The first half of the story is told through only Cora’s POV and the last half is told alternately through Cora and Gabrielle’s POV. Cora is Evan’s wife. Mary, Evan’s aunt with dementia, lives with them. Cora wakes up at their house with no memories of who she is or what happened to her. Cora begins to suspect Evan may not be as safe of a person as he claims after she discovers things throughout the house.

There were many highly unrealistic situations in this story such as the way her release from the hospital was handled, Cora ignoring sounds coming form the basement that is completely off limits, and the secrets that Evan was hiding that were later revealed towards the ending.

Even though it was very unrealistic I still liked the book. I thought the plot twist about Gabrielle was super interesting and surprising. I also loved when Lina’s secret was revealed. I really liked how it was difficult to know which character to trust.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh holy smacks, LG Davis knocks another one out of the park! This was deliciously dark and twisty with so many red herrings I had no clue who to trust. This one gave me shivers and left my jaw on the floor. Fantastic characters and brilliant storytelling. Don’t let this one pass you by.
Thank you NetGalley, LG Davis and Bookouture for the opportunity to read and review this book.

L.G. writes psychological thrillers that are hard to put down. It is like putting a puzzle together. Everything fits at the end. There are plenty of twists and turns. Do not start this book if you have anything else to do.

A storyline full of twists and turns especially towards the end.
A good read from this talented author.
Some parts were a little unbelievable for me but overall enjoyable.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Another 5 star read from L.G. Davis! There were plenty of surprises and twists that I didn’t see coming. This book was very fast paced and I read it so quickly because I wanted to see what was going to happen next!

So many thrilling twists in this book. Absolutely loved everything about this book. I can not recommend t highly enough. A must read of 2025!

Not His Wife is an extremely on-the-edge page turner!

When Cora opens her eyes, she learns she's been in a coma. She can't remember anything or anyone. The man who claims to be her husband is clearly hiding something but, what? Is Cora getting to close to the truth?

This book was so visual, I could feel I was right there with all the characters, witnessing all the twists and turns!

And that ending... WOW

Not His Wife is an engaging, fast paced psychological thriller read even though it was somewhat predictable. I enjoyed reading it. While some scenes, like the one involving the cops felt unrealistic. The story kept me hooked with its many 'what is going on?' moments. When everything finally falls into place, the reveal is truly shocking!

L G Davis creates the most fast-paced, unpredictable, twisty-turny, psychological thrillers. This was the third book I have read by Davis, The Widow’s Cabin and The New Nanny, were the others, and I was utterly absorbed as much with this one as I was the first. I was instantly hooked from the moment I started reading. Every time I had to put the book down I was already eager to get back to reading it again. It was that addicting.

I loved how Davis didn’t waste any time diving into the intricate inner lives of the characters. She immediately explored well-developed, complex, and relatable characters making this narrative that much more gripping. As the story moved forward Davis skillfully delved into the characters fears, anxieties, motivations, and mental states. It was mind boggling how she had me constantly pondering who to trust and who not to trust.

Aside from the extremely interesting and flawed characters, the plot twists and misdirections were skillfully crafted. There was an abundance of intrigue and surprising elements throughout. Even more, the story’s mood was filled with tension and unease. I loved the descriptive dialogue and symbolism throughout the story. It created a foreboding tone and reinforced the theme of mental illness and moral ambiguity.

Davis is an under the radar author in the psychological mystery- thriller genre. Having read three five star psychological thrillers by L G Davis to date, she is officially one of my favorite authors. Unquestionably, Davis has a talent for generating deeply immersive and unsettling psychological thrillers. Davis’s writing plays on the reader’s psychological vulnerabilities and engages them in the characters’ turmoil and the unraveling mystery of her novels. I highly recommend Not His Wife to those who love a fast paced, unpredictable, twisty-turny psychological thriller.

Thank you to Net Galley and Bookouture for an advance copy in exchange for my honest review.

WOW.

Thank you NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book.
I was hooked from the start and couldn’t put it down.
The twists were absolutely breathtaking and I will be bingeing all of L. G. Davis’ books now.
If you like books with multiples twists that will keep you guessing until the end then I highly recommend Not His Wife.

Unfortunately I didn’t really care for this book. The plot is overdone lately and it seemed pretty “red flagish” to me. I basically skipped to the back to find out the truth. Wasn’t interesting enough to me in the middle. The ending was a good twist.

What kind of drug is this book!? I read it in a single day. Normally, I don’t enjoy this type of book because once I manage to figure out who the culprit is or what’s going to happen I start finding the story boring but this one shut me right up.

Did I guess one or two things? Sure
Was I bored? NOT AT ALL

This book had my heart pounding the entire time. I haven’t felt this much anxiety in a long time, it had me hooked from start to finish.
The characters made me suspicious of everyone and I was so frustrated with the MC because she kept doing things I would never do in that kind of situation 😂

I can’t wait for this book to be published, I truly believe it’s worth reading

I’ll share a longer review on instagram soon🤩
I truly appreciate the advance copy
