Nicole Trope has a way of pulling you into a story slowly, getting you to really know the characters, almost choosing sides, lulling you into a false sense of security, of thinking you know what's going on and then, BAM, hits you out of nowhere and makes you question everything!

3。5 Stars Rounded UpI listened to this book on Audible which distorted my views of it。 I hadn’t listened to this narrator previously and thought she was excellent。 This was my first book by Nicole Trope。 It’s another psychological thriller with unlikeable characters and lots of surprises at the end。 The main character Sarah was very weak, insecure, annoying and gullible。 She was unlikeable until almost the end of the book。 It was tedious listening to all her issues and problems。Many of the revie 3。5 Stars Rounded UpI listened to this book on Audible which distorted my views of it。 I hadn’t listened to this narrator previously and thought she was excellent。 This was my first book by Nicole Trope。 It’s another psychological thriller with unlikeable characters and lots of surprises at the end。 The main character Sarah was very weak, insecure, annoying and gullible。 She was unlikeable until almost the end of the book。 It was tedious listening to all her issues and problems。Many of the reviews were 5 stars but my not caring for any of the characters except the adorable 5-year old Emily detracted me from liking it more。I rounded up to 4 stars due to the shocking ending and surprises especially the characters who turned out to be the villians。 I’ll probably give the author another try but I prefer other authors who write these same type of books。 。。。more

So good!!I want a man to love me like Gideon loves Sarah。 I love this story so much。 5 stars!! Great read。

Thoroughly enjoyed this one after a few not so good ones。

I received an ARC of this book from Bookouture via NetGalley in exchange for my honest feedback。 This was a good one! Thrillers are my favorite genre, so I am always impressed if the twists take me by surprise。 These definitely did - I did not guess any of them。 The characters were believable and well-developed, though I did want to slap Gideon a few times for putting up with certain things。 I kept racing to finish。 Nicole Trope is definitely now an author I will seek out。

This story took a little bit to really get into。 A man, an ex wife, a new wife and a battle over a child which turns bad。 The mother struggled with mental issues and the man was always trying to be the hero for her and his daughter。 Parts became a little predictable but the story was still good。
Sonya,

Bridget,
A fast-paced thriller from the pen of one of my go-to authors, Nicole Trope (I've now read seven of her books) about Sarah, the ex-wife, Charlotte, the new wife, and Gideon, the husband, caught between them。 With a number of twists and turns along the way, this is compelling, taut and entertaining。 Very highly recommended and an ideal companion for a rainy afternoon。 I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Bookouture via NetGalley。 This review is my own unbiased opinion。 A fast-paced thriller from the pen of one of my go-to authors, Nicole Trope (I've now read seven of her books) about Sarah, the ex-wife, Charlotte, the new wife, and Gideon, the husband, caught between them。 With a number of twists and turns along the way, this is compelling, taut and entertaining。 Very highly recommended and an ideal companion for a rainy afternoon。 I received a complimentary copy of this novel at my request from Bookouture via NetGalley。 This review is my own unbiased opinion。 。。。more

Robyn Ghafoor,
This is my third book by the author and definitely the worst of the bunch; the premise was good, it just wasn't executed very well。 None of the characters were likeable in the slightest, which left me not caring one happened to any of them。 I absolutely hated the characters of Gideon and Sarah, who ended up involving everyone in their drama (Charlotte was a bit mental but no wonder when you have a husband that doesn't exactly care about you)。The storyline felt like it was all over the place, whi This is my third book by the author and definitely the worst of the bunch; the premise was good, it just wasn't executed very well。 None of the characters were likeable in the slightest, which left me not caring one happened to any of them。 I absolutely hated the characters of Gideon and Sarah, who ended up involving everyone in their drama (Charlotte was a bit mental but no wonder when you have a husband that doesn't exactly care about you)。The storyline felt like it was all over the place, which got confusing at times。 It was billed as having a jawdropping twist and am yet to see it as any "twists" were all rather generic and predictable。Most disappointing。*Thanks to NetGalley, Bookouture and Nicole Trope for the copy of this book。 All views are my own。* 。。。more
Jennifer,
High 4 stars。 There was a lot going on in this story and I fell right into the plot。 It was suspenseful with a twist。 I was moved by Sarah and her struggles with mental illness。 The story worked well for me and because I could relate。 The child in the story had me on the edge of my seat。 Very entertaining and I highly recommend。 Thanks Bookouture via NetGalley。
Betty Mueller,
WOW!!!!! I could not put this book down。 Nicole never disappoints with her pulse-pounding, roller-coaster ride of a story。 The characters were well defined and the different points of view kept me guessing until the end。 This author is one of my favorites for a reason。 If you are a fan of psychological suspense then I could not recommend this book enough。

The story starts slowly, building the tension steadily, then cranking up at the halfway point to a high octane, roller-coaster ride of an ending。 His Other Wife is exciting, credible and highly entertaining。 The story was slightly disturbing at times as I couldn't tell whether it was her mind playing games or another person。The characters were very well written and played their parts to carry the story forward perfectly。I'm off to check out more of Trope's novels!

Wow。。 just wow what a book! I don’t think I have ever read a book this fast。 The story and characters were perfect and I was totally gripped by the characters in a way that I haven’t been before。 I felt consumed by their emotions and couldn’t stop reading。 Nicole you are a true talent, perfect prose and the story’s are weaved perfectly with shocking twists that you are renowned for。 I can’t wait for another story!

3。5 starsThis is the story of Gideon, his ex wife Sarah the mother of his daughter Emily and his new wife Charlotte。 Sarah has insomnia, she believes sleep will lead to the death of a loved one so forces herself to stay awake。 This leads to the appearance of “the whispering man”。The prologue grabs your attention and then hurtles back four months previously where the author nearly veers into horror territory with five year old Emily phoning her dad in the middle of the night terrified。 With Gideo 3。5 starsThis is the story of Gideon, his ex wife Sarah the mother of his daughter Emily and his new wife Charlotte。 Sarah has insomnia, she believes sleep will lead to the death of a loved one so forces herself to stay awake。 This leads to the appearance of “the whispering man”。The prologue grabs your attention and then hurtles back four months previously where the author nearly veers into horror territory with five year old Emily phoning her dad in the middle of the night terrified。 With Gideon finally realising Sarah’s mental health has been declining he makes the decision to have her admitted after five different therapists have seemingly failed。Three people and one of them is crazy but as with all of Nicole’s books nothing and no one is ever quite as it seems。Insomnia is not something I have much knowledge of as I am very fortunate in that I sleep like the dead。 However the torment that Sarah goes through is so well written that you really feel for her even while you are questioning her sanity。Charlotte I also felt for as it’s not easy being a step parent especially when the mother has been away and is now back on the scene。 However she quickly loses patience with Sarah’s demands of Gideon and it seems her mask is slipping。With Gideon stuck in the middle the red flags swoop you back to remembering the prologue。I loved the authors last book The family across the street so I knew that would be a hard act to follow but that I would be in for a great read regardless。So suspend your belief, leave your expectations at the door and enjoy this book for the twisty thriller it is! 。。。more
