Does everything I need in a thriller.
Plot twists, 2 not very reliable narrators and an interesting premise had me hooked from the beginning, I liked it enough to want to read the second one and that’s saying something.

The Perfect Marriage was my first book by Jeneva Rose, and can confidently say it won't be my last. My friend told me this was the novel that pulled her into the world of psychological thrillers, so was curious to see what the hype was about-and now totally get it. From the very beginning, the story had a gripping, suspenseful energy that never let up. I found myself flying through the pages, eager to uncover what really happened. What loved most was how the book played with my expectations. At first, thought had everything figured out-it seemed like it was heading in a predictable direction. But just when got comfortable, the plot twisted in a way didn't see coming. That sudden shift completely changed the game and made the ending all the more satisfying. It kept me second-guessing the characters, their motives, and the truth behind the murder right up to the final pages. And can we talk about the collector's edition? The sprayed bloody edges are such a bold, striking touch-it adds an eerie vibe that perfectly matches the tone of the story. love when a physical book enhances the reading experience, and this edition absolutely does. Overall, this book was a wild, addictive ride and a great intro to Jeneva Rose's work.
