Don't Trust Her: A BRAND NEW gripping psychological thriller

by Rowen Chambers

When I first met Molly, my heart went out to her. Nine months pregnant and homeless, I couldn’t turn her away.

But the moment my husband walked in and saw the woman he’d had an affair with standing in our living room—pregnant—my whole world shattered.

Drew swears it’s over and that he never knew she was carrying his child.

Molly tells a different story. One that makes me question everything I thought I knew about my husband.

Drew calls her a liar, a scam artist—dangerous. But Molly knows things about him... things that make me wonder if I really know the man I’ve been living with all these years.

I’m trapped between doubt and fear, unsure if Molly is the threat—or if the real danger lies much closer to home.

Everything I believed about Drew—and our marriage—is unraveling.

And now, I don’t know who to fear the woman living with us—or the man I married.

A chilling and suspenseful domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Daniel Hurst, Theo Baxter and Kiersten Mogdlin.

my only criticism is that there was a lot of unnecessary back and forth throughout the book. a lot of it could have been cut down and ripped out the spine. it did have me going back and forth like hmm is it him? is it her? who’s the bad guy here not sure

I love thrillers of this kind with such a good psychological suspense, where you don't know who is good and who is lying and is playing a nasty game. And a lot of that happens in this book. I was immediately hooked and devoured it in a day. Anyone who likes thrillers where people infiltrate the lives of others will love this book.

Sara seems to have the perfect life with her husband Drew. Good jobs, a beautiful apartment, and a loving relationship. The only thing missing for complete happiness would be a baby. Unfortunately, Sara struggles with fertility issues. When she buys food for a homeless and heavily pregnant young woman, her life begins to turn into a nightmare. Out of pure helpfulness, she lets Molly live with her and Drew. As luck would have it, Molly and Drew share a secret, and Molly is not going to leave anytime soon. Sara feels increasingly unsafe in her own home. On the one hand, Molly's manipulation makes her seem malicious, and on the other hand, she has to ask herself whether her marriage to Drew can continue, because she no longer recognizes him due to his lies and actions. All the lies... who can Sara still trust?

This book is told from Sara's point of view 99% of the time, and you can't help but empathize with her and suffer along with her. I have to say that if I had been in her shoes, I would have run away at a certain point (but then the book would have been very short). I often found myself shaking my head in disbelief at her decisions, even though she always showed good character and empathy. That is precisely what proves to be her undoing. At some point, I was able to guess the ending, but I found the way everything was resolved to be more than exciting and entertaining. The ending leaves you speechless. I definitely want to read more from this author. The writing style is gripping and the plots are it.

I was kindly provided with a review copy from Xpresso Book Tours via NetGalley. Thank you so much! The opinion expressed is my own.

This book was a slow burn. I found myself frustrated at the main character, her actions just seemed unbelievable. I didn’t really feel a connection with any of them. This book did have a twist at the end, it just took to long to get there.

predictable

The book was very predictable and the woman was just a total pain in the butt. Nobody is as nice as she is and allows. The things that she allowed. She let the two other people in the book walk all over and it was just very annoying.
