SYNOPSIS/BOOK BLURB

“I gulp as I stare at the stranger before me. Who is this man I had wanted to spend the rest of my life with?”

Cassie Edwards swore she’d never fall in love… then she met Jamie. He changed everything, and Cassie’s never been happier.

But with less than one month to go to her wedding, Cassie discovers Jamie is cheating on her with his colleague. Blinded by rage, Cassie makes it her mission to seek revenge on the pair.

When Cassie looks deeper into her fiancé’s life, she soon realises being faithful isn’t the only thing he’s lying about.

As her hunt for the truth takes her to some of the darkest corners of the internet, Cassie learns just how little she knows about the man she shares her life with. It leaves her wondering one thing – is Jamie someone she should destroy, or someone she should fear instead?

How far would you go to destroy your husband?

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS PLUS (for when 5 just isn’t enough)

WOW WOW WOW! Jess Kitching has absolutely done it again with this, her second novel! Hard to believe it is only her second. She has developed her craft to a T and for me she is rapidly becoming one of the best Psychological Thriller writers out there.

The opening chapter is a blinder and totally sets the scene for the whole book. Jess’s characters are brilliantly written, each one has their own flaws and foibles that makes them completely believable, people you can invest in, that you begin to care about and worry about. I wanted to be there for Cassie as she begins to unravel the true levels of deceit her Fiancé has gone to. As she ploughs on with her plans, a chill slowly flowed over me as I worried for her more and more. Does she really know what she is doing? Is she playing with fire? Is she going to get burned? All questions that Jess answers with a creative twist that is just phenomenal.

I am not going to waffle on about the actual story, the synopsis is perfect and draws you in just that right amount to make you need to read this glorious book. Suffice it to say Jess has blown this genre into tiny pieces and totally made it her own, I LOVED IT ! There is nothing more to say other than grab a copy and dive into the dark and seedy world of Jamie and his ever loving Fiancée Cassie, or is she?

AUDIO Book Review “How to Kill Men and Get Away with it” by Katy Brent

BOOK REVIEW NO : 155 (more reviews on insta @nikiprestonbookreviewer)

Psychological Thriller

Audio, 9 hours and 25 mins

Publisher : HQ Digital (Harper Collins Audio)

SYNOPSIS/BOOK BLURB

Have you ever walked home at night, keys in hand, ready to throw a punch in self-defence?

That’s how it all started. The killing spree, I mean.

I sort of tripped into this role…. Literally. The first one was following me. That guy from the nightclub who wouldn’t leave me alone. I pushed him, he stumbled, and fell onto his own broken wine bottle. Oops. It was such a waste of a good house white.

But now I can’t seem to stop and nor do I want to…. I’ve got a taste for revenge and quite frankly,

I’m killing it.

REVIEW ~ NIKI PRESTON ~ 5 STARS PLUS

OM actual G as the self entitled Chelsea socialite would post on her Insta. I loved this book right from the first word. Read in the first person from Kitty’s point of view. Her sense of humour is second to none, her ability to kill those she feels deserve it, also second to none. It was like listening to an episode of Made in Chelsea with a rather super amount of splendid murder thrown in. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments. I loved Kitty’s idea of an entrepreneur , I’ll leave you to come across that little gem. The darkness of this book slowly grows. It is both hilarious and accidently violent all at the same time. Kitty murders with a certain amount of Jodi Comer esq indifference as in Killing Eve. She murders without emotion, it is a necessity that these lowlife men die for the wicked deeds they have done. From ghosting to violent acts. In Kitty’s mind they all deserve the end the meet.
Victoria Morrison narrates this book wonderfully. She embodies the spirit of Kitty beautifully. She captures the dark side of her superbly well and drops in the humour exactly how and where it is needed. This books deserves to be heard. Its unique, funny, dark and suspenseful. LOVED IT.
