THE HUNTING WIVES

SYNOPSIS

Sophie O'Neill left behind an envy-inspiring career and the stressful, competitive life of big-city Chicago to settle down with her husband and young son in a small Texas town. It seems like the perfect life with a beautiful home in an idyllic rural community. But Sophie soon realizes that life is now too quiet, and she's feeling bored and restless.

Then she meets Margot Banks, an alluring socialite who is part of an elite clique secretly known as the Hunting Wives. Sophie finds herself completely drawn to Margot and swept into her mysterious world of late-night target practice and dangerous partying. As Sophie's curiosity gives way to full-blown obsession, she slips farther away from the safety of her family and deeper into this nest of vipers.

When the body of a teenage girl is discovered in the woods where the Hunting Wives meet, Sophie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation and her life spiraling out of control.

REVIEW

RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A couple of days ago I was trying to decide what book to pick up next when my friend Kim told me she had just finished The Hunting Wives and LOVED it. We usually like the same books (cough, cough, Addie LaRue 😂) so I was immediately sold and I started the audiobook right after our conversation. When I realized I had already listened to 4 hours. That’s how engaging it was!

I just love these stories of rich people behaving outrageously and suffering the consequences. I’m that nice! ☺️

Recently moved to town Sophie is bored with her life and she would love to be part of the mean girls group (almost 40 yo mean girls, which are much more fun than younger mean girls. You just need to watch any Real Housewives of Wherever). But, is she ready to face the consequences of being part of that clique?

At times Sophie came up as very naive and every time she drank a glass of wine she shouldn’t I would have given her a slap on the head while eye-rolling. Learn from your mistakes, girl!

These women behavior was appalling, scandalous, shocking and atrocious and, although I don’t condone it, I enjoyed every single minute of it. But...couldn’t those guys have been a tiny bit older? I was a bit surprised that THAT did not have more repercussion in the town once it came to light, and can’t help to think that, if it would have been the other way around (older guy + teenage girl), it would not have been taken so lightly.

Although the mystery resolution was a bit predictable I relished tremendously all the drama in these women’s lives and I can’t wait to read what the author comes out with next.

HELLO, IT’S ME!

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to read... MY BRAND NEW BLOG! (Look at me plagiarazing drawing inspiration from Adele for my very first entry). She approves! So, if you're here reading this...THANK YOU for tuning in! For those who don't know me my name is Javier and after more than a year writing reviews on sites as Goodreads and NetGalley I decided to create my own blog to share my love of books with the world. When I first started writing reviews I was not able to put two sentences together, but as I kept writing I realized I had lots to say about the books I read. Rest assured my reviews will always be honest (no problems here telling when I don't like something) and spoiler free (I hate spoilers!). My personal preferences are:...

IN A HOLIDAZE

SYNOPSIS It’s the most wonderful time of the year…but not for Maelyn Jones. She’s living with her parents, hates her going-nowhere job, and has just made a romantic error of epic proportions. But perhaps worst of all, this is the last Christmas Mae will be at her favorite place in the world—the snowy Utah cabin where she and her family have spent every holiday since she was born, along with two other beloved families. Mentally melting down as she drives away from the cabin for the final time, Mae throws out what she thinks is a simple plea to the universe: Please. Show me what will make me happy. The next thing she knows, tires screech and metal collides, everything goes black. But when Mae gasps awake…she’s on an airplane bound for Utah, where she begins the same holiday all over again. With one hilarious disaster after another sending her back to the plane, Mae must figure out how to break free of the strange time loop—and finally get her true love under the mistletoe.
