My Wife

A Slasher Dark Romance

De: Carin Hart

Narrado por: Maeve York, Walker Williams

And Then There Were None meets Harper's Island meets 90s classic Scream in this new slasher dark romance that's perfect for Halloween...

Welcome to Halo Island.

I swore I would never go back.

After that tragic night when I was only seventeen... I moved halfway across the country with Clay to escape what happened on Halo Island.

But then my husband died, and I was left a widow at twenty-two. I’ve spent the last five years doing everything I can to move on.

That might have been a mistake.

Tommy was Clay’s best friend--and my first love. I’ve found my second chance with him, so when he plans a weekend getaway with our friends on Halo Island, how can I refuse?

I should have.

One by one, they start to fall. There’s a masked killer on the island, and he’s turned all of us into prey.

But when I’m caught, he doesn’t turn his knife on me. Instead, he pulls off his mask--and I can’t believe what I’m seeing, even as I see that familiar smirk... "Silly Cyn. You should've known better than to run from your husband."

Entertaining and enjoyable

Easy and entertaining. Definitely hot. I absolutely recommend for fans of morally grey smutty obsessed killers. While the plot may not be all that amazing(it’s about what you would expect)it wasn’t boring, the twist idea was kind of novel, and the sex scenes are decent. All in all I’m glad I gave it a chance. A satisfying addition to any Dark Romance collection.

Listen to if you loved Scream

I had a great time listening/readind this book. I really did have all the feelings of one of my favorite horror favorites “Scream”. Cyn in this book is definitely Sidney Prescott but instead of unaliving Billy and Stu she ends up with Billy. Our FMC is Cyn Preston and she lost her husband to a car accident five years prior to the events of the book. Our MMC is Clay Rivers, Cyn’s “dead” husband who is pretty upset with Cyn for moving on. If you were a fan of sl*sher horror movies growing up especially Scream then this is definitely a book you need to sit down and read/listen too. This audiobook is told through diet narration by the wonderful Maeve York and Walker Williams. The spice in this book this great too. We go not really get any spice scenes until Clay comes back into the story but when he does it’s definitely a good time. I would give this a 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5/5 for spice.

Not too entirely bad..

"My Wife" by Carin Heart presents a story with genuine potential that unfortunately falls short of its promise due to execution issues, particularly in the audiobook format.

The Good
The overall plot concept shows real promise and provides the foundation for what could have been an engaging read. Despite its flaws, the story manages to deliver entertaining moments that keep you turning pages. There's enough substance here to make it a worthwhile, if not exceptional, reading experience.

The Not-So-Good
The audiobook experience significantly detracted from my enjoyment of this novel. The male narrator's performance was particularly disappointing - his voice work felt forced and unconvincing, pulling me out of the story whenever male characters spoke. This is especially problematic in a book where strong character voices are essential to the narrative's success.

Final Thoughts
While "My Wife" has its moments and the core story remains solid, the poor narration in the audiobook format seriously hampers the overall experience.

Outstanding!

This is my first book by this author and it was fantastic. The plot, character development and narration was great! I’m now an instafan. Also, Walker Williams and Maeve York did a phenomenal
job as always.

not a why choose even though I read a review saying it was

book will go on talking about something the entire book/chapter about the same thing till it gets to what it finally gets to the point.

Almost DNF’d

The twist was alright.. would have been better if the overall story had more… story! This whole book was entirely too repetitive.. annoyingly.
