Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she’s thrilled she finally connected with someone.

When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar…who says the kiss was a terrible mistake but who still can’t keep his eyes off Louise.

And then Louise bumps into Adele, who’s new to town and in need of a friend, but she also just happens to be married to David. David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife, but then why is David so controlling, and why is Adele so scared of him?

As Louise is drawn into David and Adele’s orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong, but Louise can’t guess how wrong―and how far a person might go to protect their marriage’s secrets.

BEHIND HER EYES is an AMAZING psychological thriller. Totally addictive, dark, and original. The press release that came with the ARC gave the book a #WTFthatending hashtag, and I was like, sure. We’ll see. So, I spent the whole book putting together theories, going back and rereading parts, thinking that I had figured out the big secret. Ha, NOPE! Not even close.

This is one of those stories that I can’t say anything about without risk of revealing spoilers, so just read the blurb. Then read the book. It gave me a major book hangover. I couldn’t quit thinking about it enough to start something new. Seriously. Fans of suspense/thrillers: read it!

Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
