Let me start by saying for you to get the full effect of how twisted ?The Wives is, you need to go into it blindly. I found the title intriguing and was curious to find out about the story hidden between the covers. This being my first Tarryn Fisher’s book, I had no idea what to expect. Now after reading this book, I have to say Ms. Fisher messed with my brain and left me with many crazy thoughts. Even as I write this review, I keep asking myself what the hell did I just read. The Wives took me on the most twisted journey, not even a roller coaster ride could compare.
?The Wives hooked me from start to finish. Soon I questioned every situation which occurred. The story pulled me into its dark recesses and for its duration I had an inkling of how Alice felt when she fell down the rabbit hole. Neither the title nor synopsis could prepare me for the dark journey down the rabbit hole.
Unreliable characters filled the pages of this book, making it difficult to determine who to trust. The deeper I got into the story, the more I doubted the characters. This book reminded me that appearances can sometimes be deceiving. Not because your mind perceives something doesn’t necessarily make it true.
Despite the unreliability of the characters, I sympathized with Thursday. I kept wondering why she would put herself in such a position, but I guess she was a fool for love. Being in her head was nerve wracking.
I am not sure what to think of the ending. I was hoping after those revelations that the questions I had swirling in my head would be answered. Instead I was left to make my own assumptions.
Conclusion/Recommendation
Would I read more from this author? A resounding yes. Fisher delivered a mind boggling story that will have you questioning every word you have read while attempting to decipher the many mysteries hidden within the pages.
?The Wives is a must read for fans of psychological thrillers. Be prepared to have your mind blown.
