Prepare to get shocked and sucker punches that you never see it coming. This book is so deliciously phenomenal and unputdownable! And the ending deserves your claps! IT was fascinating. I was about to give four stars but for the ending creative ending and the last surprising revelation that I couldn’t guess made me give extra half stars. So 4.5 stars rounded up to :5! I wasn’t happy about the previous book of the author but this one literally captivated me and I mostly enjoy the vibes of Mediterranean traditions, Leo’s big Greek family scenes. I’m thanking myself to buy this book because it is still at the pending purgatory of NetGalley and I cannot let it root there and sent to library cemetery without having a chance to read it. It was worth to every penny and I highly recommend this enjoyable, amusing, mind blowing novel to the fans of thriller genre.bloginstagramfacebooktwitter

My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr...4.5 Stars!!An excellent summer read! Joanna has devoted her life to eight-year-old Evie, six-year-old Stelli, and their father, Leo. Joanna's been patiently waiting for Leo to come out of the depression that gripped him for months. Now it seems like her prayers have been answered. He's coming back to them. Leo is a successful lawyer and he's just about to start a new high profile case. Joanna suggests he attend a meditation workshop at the Phoenix Recovery Center to help him get prepared emotionally.It won’t be long before she regrets that suggestion.“I was relieved that he was finally going to take a step toward health. Little did I know that it would be his first step out of my life and right into hers”. Piper Reynard recently moved to Westport from San Diego. She wanted to start over without standing out. She found the perfect home and she loves running the Phoenix Recovery Center. She hopes things will be different in Westport. “She couldn’t keep starting over and finding new places to hide“. Piper promised herself that she wasn't going to get involved with anyone for at least a year. Then she meets Leo Drakos. Piper is excited when he signs up for a meditation workshop at the center. Leo quickly realizes mediation isn't for him and instead of finishing the workshop, he takes Piper for lunch where the conversation flows easily. Piper is very attracted to Leo and she thinks the feeling might be mutual.Leo seems pretty relaxed when he gets home that evening so Joanna is surprised when he says he didn't get anything out of the workshop.When Joanna meets Piper at their annual Memorial Day Party, she's far from impressed. After the party, she searches social media to see what she can find out about Piper. Joanna can’t find anything about Piper online. What is she hiding?When Joanna’s mother hurts herself, Leo encourages Joanna to go and stay with her. The weeks go by. The children visit but it’s not the same. Then an unexpected visitor one morning turns Joanna’s life upside down.Joanna’s devastated. She’s losing everything that matters to her. But she's not going to go down without a fight. She's going to get her life back. Her loved ones are in danger and she's going to do what she has to do to prove it. Will she be able to do it in time? Well done. You got me!The story is told from both Joanna’s and Piper’s point of view. We learn a lot about their current lives as well as their childhood, and their complicated relationships with parents and previous partners.This in-depth and well-developed story had me gripped. I definitely had to suspend my disbelief at times, but I was addicted to the story. And that ending? I NEVER saw it coming. At first, I was a bit confused. I was like…wait…what? Then I got it and my mouth dropped.I thought this was an excellent domestic suspense novel with great characters that many will love to hate. I suggest you read this book in as few sittings as possible.I'd like to thank the publisher for providing me with a copy of this novel. All opinions are my own.

I just finished this seconds ago.... on my 68th Birthday no less....HOURS of AUDIOBOOK LISTENING OVER A FEW DAYS.........while hours of hiking, and soaking —- and other little piddling things around the house. It may not be 5 stars for everyone .....I mean it’s another one of those books that’s not great literature........ rather it has that lifetime movie feeling going on.....But I was totally addicted to this psychological thriller. The book succeeded in having a really great twist ending...with ...... an edge-opening....to contemplate! So.... our good friends are coming over to enjoy some social distant socializing. .... lunch in the yard - great company - a few gifts - and raspberry moose cake with candies to blow out and make a wish! FUN BOOK!!!! For....those who like these types!!! One of the GOOD ONES!!

“Suffice it to say that things are not always what they look like on the outside.”This story is told in dual perspectives: Joanna, the doting wife and Piper, the tease who wants to BE the wife......Or so we think.Leo Drakos, the well-spoken, perfectly-dressed lawyer is the man in the middle. When Leo arrives at the “Phoenix Recovery Center” to check on one of his clients, Fred, he finds a flirty new friendship in the owner, Piper Reynard. Meanwhile, Joanna is at home taking care of his children Stella and Evie. “Women have always been attracted to Leo, some even making it clear that they didn’t mind that he was married.”Leo has been very depressed lately and in order to get him out of his funk before an upcoming trial, Joanna suggests that he take a meditation class in which Piper just so happens to decide to sit in on. They joke around, Leo ends up realizing that the class is not for him; they instead leave early and he treats her to lunch. “I was relieved that he was finally going to take a step toward health. Little did I know that it would be his first step out of my life into hers.”Piper, recently coming from The West Coast has moved around a lot , never really finding a true place to call home. She is hoping that Connecticut will be it, and Leo will be who with. But, she comes with a troublesome past, one that includes two marriages and not one but two dead husbands—Accidents, it seems. When Leo confronts Joanna with the paperwork that’ll make her go away, she will stop at nothing to prove that he’s falling for the wrong woman. She won’t be left behind. She’s in total denial that what was is now over.“She’s got Leo right where she wants him, and he’s blind to her game.”Meanwhile, Piper continues to deal with Joanna’s obsessive ways as well as Leo’s son, Stelli’s refusal to respect her as an adult, let alone a new mother figure. His acting out has become intolerable. It’s one thing for him to miss his mother, but this is going way too far. “She wondered if she would ever be a real part of this family.”“Taking a deep breath, she grabbed a pillow from the bed, went into the bathroom, turned the water on, and screamed as loud as she could into its feathers.”Imagine yourself as Joanna, she’s convinced that Piper is dangerous and only wants what’s best for her family.Now, consider being Piper, how much can you take before you give up? She did afterall, steal this life from another woman, so she should have to pay some type of price, right?Both women are in love with the same man and will stop at nothing to win the “perfect” life. My initial reaction after finishing this book:What the HE 🏒 🏒 just happened 😱😱! Page 283.... what did SHE just say 😱😱😱1000% Delusional! Could she really be THAT crazy? No way.An ending that I DID NOT see coming and I’m left with so many questions!! A fast- paced breakneck thriller that you can finish in one sitting!I’m going to go take a cold shower now!A SOLID 4.5 stars, rounded up for Goodreads.Why this book did not get 5 stars SPOILERS below—The reader was left with too many questions, I wanted more explanation about what really happened to the two husbands in the past. Is our answer within the last line of the book? “Otherwise, she’d have to start all over again.” I must know more info!

Giving this book another star because the ending still haunts me. _______________________(This week I challenged myself to read three recent hyped thrillers. The other books I read were The Swap and The Last Flight)tw: mental health; suicideI think the biggest issue I have against The Wife Stalker is that nothing much really happened for almost the entirety of the book. I almost casted this book down in the pits as a two-star read. The lightness of the whole story is both good and bad. Well at least for me. On one hand, it made reading this easy to the point I was flying through it. I loved those short chapters too. On the other hand, there were no punches. No thrill. No sense of danger or whatsoever until the ending. I agree that one of the reviewers here said that this book felt like a day to day narrative.People appear to be conflicted with the ending. Personally, it was appealing to me. To each his own, I guess. It saved the book for me. It went a complete 180 and my mind just started clicking! Finally everything made sense. Earlier, I was confused for the characters certain choice of words and actions. I was like whats even happening? There were tiny hints all over the book that if I just paid any attention, I would know. Unfortunately, I didn't. This book was more of a 'starter' thriller. If you're new to the genre or a bit curious and you want something less crazy than most thrillers, this is the book for you. Happy reading!

Oh, you sneaky sisters. Liv Constantine got me in the best possible way with The Wife Stalker, a wicked, whip-smart bag of tricks about a woman fighting to hold onto her family. Read this one in one long gulp, then read it again to see what you missed the first time through. I promise you won’t see it coming.

‪Absolutely brilliant thriller!‬‪WOW! I was blown away by one of the most twisted and unpredictable endings I’ve ever read! This fast-paced and suspenseful read easily kept my attention and I was considering it a solid 4 ⭐️’s, until that ending! ‬The book alternates between two sides of the story. Joanna, the soon-to-be ex wife, and Piper, the new woman in Leo’s life. They each give us their interpretation of the circumstances. One woman out to steal another’s husband always gets my shackles up!This is the first book I’ve read by Liv Constantine, which I assumed was a female author. Even that turned out to be a surprise! This duo is now cemented in my top author list!Thank you to Edelweiss, HarperCollins and Liv Constantine for this digital ARC, in exchange for my honest review!My Rating: 4.5 ⭐️’s (rounding up)Published: May 19th 2020 by HarperCollins PublishersPages: 320Recommend: Yes!@LivConstantine2 @harperbooks#TheWifeStalker @weiss_squad #brilliantthriller #mustread

Probably this pair's best book yet, man they got me good!! In no way, shape or form did I see that twist coming at the end, although going back and skimming through a couple of the earlier chapters I definitely should have! this is the type of book you can't really say much about without spoiling so I would recommend those wanting to pick this up to most certainly go in knowing as little as possible. I enjoyed both of this pair's previous two books so I didn't even know about the plot going in to this one and even received an advanced copy a few months back, just now picking it up, which I definitely should not have waited to do! This is a great beach read that you want to gobble up in as few sittings as possible!

It’s exciting with a beachy location, plenty of push and pull, and it’s hot. There was a twist I never saw coming, and oh my, did some of these characters get under my skin.Overall, I think all thriller fans should have The Wife Stalker in their beach bags this summer!I received a gifted copy.

Piper Reynard decides to leave California behind for Westport, Connecticut in an attempt to recreate herself. She establishes a wellness center and quickly finds success. It is there that she meets Leo Drakos who is investigating a client. She is immediately attracted to him but notices that he is wearing a wedding ring. Leo has been suffering from depression and his wife Joanna is happy that the man that she loves is returning to his former self. He is reconnecting with their two young children and he is ready to resume his career as a prominent lawyer. What Joanna didn't expect was for Leo to develop a friendship with Piper during one visit. She soon finds out that they have been meeting regularly and there are signs of a romantic interest. Joanna will do anything to keep Leo and her prominent role in the family.The Wife Stalker is the third novel by the sister writing team Liv Constantine. This psychological thriller is very well crafted and the twisty plot will keep readers on edge. On a personal note, I know these authors and have a hard time reconciling how these two kind women write crazy evil stories.

The Wife Stalker was very suspenseful and grabbed my attention from the beginning. Piper and Joanna are interesting characters with many secrets. The story is told from Piper and Joanna’s perspectives. I kept trying to figure out what would happen next. I found the story interesting. Joanna is a loving mother that will do anything to make sure her family is safe. Why did Leo divorce her if she is such a loving wife and mother? Piper is trying to connect with the children even though she doesn’t particularly like children. Piper has a concerning past. Will Piper hurt Leo and the children? The children are struggling not knowing what happened to their mom. Leo wants to live a happy life. He is concerned about Joanna and the reader doesn’t find out what is really going on until the end. Who can Leo trust? This story is interesting with many twists and turns. Constantine does a great job dropping little clues to make the reader try to figure out the ending. I didn't see the ending coming at all.Thank you Harper Perennial for The Wife Stalker.Full Review: https://justreadingjess.wordpress.com...

I'll give the writers credit (Two sisters are the authors behind the pen name Liv Constantine) as they did a nice job with this one. I admit I had some doubts throughout the story in which I kept thinking the ending was going to be lackluster but they managed to come up with something interesting. And what boggles my mind is even though I picked up on a few things fairly early on, for the life of me I couldn't figure how they were relevant to the overall story. It's like I had some puzzle pieces but couldn't see the big picture because I didn't know where they fit. Well played Liv Constantine, well played.Piper Reynard wants a fresh start and so she moves across the country to Westport, Connecticut and opens up a wellness center. She meets successful lawyer, Leo Drakos, and has the hots for him, despite the fact he wears a wedding ring. Joanna wants the man she loves, Leo, to come out of the severe depression that has consumed him so they along with their children, Evie and Stelli, can be a happy family. Leo seems to be getting better but Joanna is devastated when she realizes it has nothing to do with her loving support. Instead, Leo has fallen for the other woman and Joanna is determined to fight for her man. The chapters alternate between Joanna and Piper.This was a fun and quick read. I had more than a few questions while reading but in the end I felt they were all answered. Be patient and stick with this one, as the payout is pretty satisfying. I've read all three books by this writing duo and while I was disappointed in their last effort, I think this one was as good as The Last Mrs. Parrish. However, I do feel their books are slight variations of one another. I hope with their next book they venture into new territory and try something completely different. I received a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, I was blown away. I devoured this book. I was so wrong the twists came crashing up side my head. I never saw the ending coming. This would make a great movie. I saw it play out on each page. These two sisters are now the queens of psychological thrillers in my book.5 stars two times. I HIGHLY recommend this book.The Mary Reader received this book from the publisher for review. A favorable review was not required and all views expressed are our own.

The Wife Stalker is a daring, dastardly story with complex characters and a sinister plot. A read-through-the-night thriller that mesmerizes to the final page. An absolute must for your 2020 list!
