The Webs You Weave

by Shade Owens, Kaden Catalina (Narrator), Jay Parker (Narrator)

MEGHAN

My husband is a cheating bastard.

If it weren't for my daughter, I'd have gotten rid of him years ago. But I don't want my sweet Hazel growing up the way I did. So I've continued putting up with Cole's indiscretions. But this time around, Cole crosses a line that he can't come back from. And I'm going to teach him a lesson he'll never forget.

COLE

I love my wife dearly, but she needs some serious help.

Ever since her traumatic brain injury, she hasn't been the same. She's constantly accusing me of cheating on her. Yes, I've made mistakes, but that's in the past, and I've apologized for those. Now, I think she might even be following me to work. She's taking things too far. I don't know how much more of this I can handle. The only problem is, I'm afraid that if I try to leave her, she'll kill me.

The webs you weave gave me Freida McFadden vibes. It was well written and the short chapters made it an easy read. The narration of the book was great. I don’t think they needed the flash backs to when Meghan was a kid or having her mother involved in the book at all it wasn’t super relevant to the story and using the same voice as her child Hazel made it confusing for the listener. Overall the book was great and it kept me guessing to figure out who was telling the truth. Definitely a must read.

The book starts Meghan who was in a major accident and ends up with a brain injury. The last year has been difficult for her family with her recovery. Meghan thinks her husband Cole is a lying cheat and Cole is worried about her brain playing tricks on her and is worried to leave her because she might kill him. They stay together for the love of their daughter Hazel who gets put in the middle of their relationship issues and continues to be worried about her mother’s health issues. Meghan starts tailing Cole because she wants to know if it’s her brain or the truth as Hazel starts spending more time at her best friend Alex’s house away from her parents issues.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed The Webs You Weave by Shade Owen’s. This is my second book by this author. I received the audiobook copy. The narrators, Kaden Catalina and Jay Parker, were phenomenal.

I liked how this book had dual POVs. Which one is the unreliable narrator? Who are the journal entries from?.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

one of the worst audiobooks. good plot but awfully executed. the woman speaks as if she is gasping at the end of every sentence. they use voices as if they play in theater and not narrating, and the man reads the name valeria as val-i-ria.
it would be better to read instead of audio. awful audio

Didn’t love the plot. Rosaline seemed to have come out of no where, there wasn’t closure on one of the biggest events of the book it just switched over to the next event.

3.75/5 Audiobook of The Webs You Weave by Shade Owens

The female Narrator did a good job going from the different POV especially for Hazel the teenage daughter.

The story centers on Meghan, who’s recovering from a life-changing brain injury, and Cole, her husband who’s working hard to provide for Meghan and their daughter, Hazel. But here's the twist—Cole has a pattern of infidelity, and Meghan is starting to notice some troubling signs that make her suspicious.

Absolutely mind-blowing plot! The dual narration, with alternating first-person perspectives, added so much depth and gave the story an extra oomph that made it feel even more immersive.

Cole’s Narrator was a little slow paced for me at times but over all they did keep my attention.
