The Hunting Wives share more than target practice, martinis, and bad behavior in this novel of obsession, seduction, and murder.

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.

25% / Through Chapter 16

(view spoiler)[ her borderline obsession with Margot seems so odd to me
but I can completely understand being bored with small town and being a stay at home mom (been there!) but I can not imagine cheating!
especially with underage boys Yuck

but the shooting was eerie. author is doing a great job really setting up how odd their friendships/frenemies is and that threaded feel of danger just with being with them. (hide spoiler)]

50% / Through Chapter 32

(view spoiler)[ jeeeezzz what on earth is going on here.
so she seems to have a crush on Margot - some kind of obsession thing (almost like Callie, I think)
but the holding the gun like it was diseased scares me a bit. and I'm really hoping Abby won't be the girl they find shot (as per the synopsis)
and Margot and Brad and Jamie - it's all just so yuckie. I have children older than those boys. Yick.

and poor Graham. their life together (and even her friend Erin) they all seem like a good match and that she was appreciating it all. Why would she put it all in jeopardy for this? (hide spoiler)]

75% / 51 Chapters

wow they just(view spoiler)[ went all out with it in the papers, didn't they. I wonder what really happened. Could Callie have done it?
Could her strange neighbor? Or will her neighbor, the one with the binoculars be a good alibi (that he saw her, with no blood, running down the trail) (hide spoiler)]

finished(view spoiler)[ wow I didn't even think it was Jill!!!
Crazy. but Margot could not have been hot enough to throw away her marriage and relationship with her son (at least I think so)
this one was good, completely fooled me!

and crazy that Margot died
I never thought that would happen! I was surprised Callie didn't kill Jill at the end. glad the cops were quick! (hide spoiler)]

this one was so good. I hope you guys love it!

I keep forgetting to grab my book when I leave the house BUT I am determined to either start this tonight or tomorrow!

Totally lied - I had zero time to dive into this over the weekend. Will definitely pick it up before this weekend.

I am diving into this tomorrow no matter what!

Starting now!

Prologue: (view spoiler)[Ooo I am really intrigued right now. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 1-10: (view spoiler)[Not really sure why she is so obsessed with this girl but maybe it will all make sense soon? Other than that.. it's pretty good so far. I also wonder what Erin knows.. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 11-20: (view spoiler)[I mean.. I would have waited a couple of hours or a freaking day before responding to someone who was clearly ignoring me. Then again, that's me.. and this girl is not me. (hide spoiler)]

Yeah.. but wasn't her idea to move to this small town? Also, yes, this whole group of friends is just weird. So many suspicious vibes right now too.

Ch 21-30: (view spoiler)[It's no wonder Margot is having family troubles.. but I feel like Sophie needs to stick with Erin. Mostly because I like her and Graham together and I don't want Margot near Graham period. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 31-40: (view spoiler)[Uh, no girl. TELL SOMEONE PLEASE! (hide spoiler)]

Ch 41-50: (view spoiler)[..and this is why I said to stick with Erin. Ugh! They always blame the new girl. Not cool. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 51-60: (view spoiler)[Lord who the heck is behind this all? I mean Callie does seem like a good suspect right now.. but, ugh. (hide spoiler)]

Ch 61-Finish: (view spoiler)[Wow - Jill? Hot damn. I guess that makes sense too. (hide spoiler)]
