Things We Do in the Dark

It was a decent story. Ok writing style. A bit predictable. The Italy saw the twist coming. Overall it was not a waste of my time.

Sad story but a twisted juicy book! Was hoping for more at the end tho.

Paris has returned early from a weekend yoga retreat to find her famous comedian husband, Jimmy, dead in their bathtub. Paris is arrested and immediately suspected to have killed him as they found a straight razor in her hand and she's covered in his blood. She's going to be tried for murder... and that's not the scariest part. Paris has some skeletons in her closet that the unwanted media attention could bring to light. Paris isn't exactly who she says she is and she's worked hard to build the life she's currently living.

A similar crime was committed 25 years earlier by the "Ice Queen", Ruby Reyes. Ruby was sentenced to 25 with the possibility of parole. Well, parole time has come around and she's being released... Ruby knows Paris's true identity and could ruin everything for Paris. Reyes begins to blackmail Paris - she wants money, lots of it, or she'll expose Paris's secrets...

I really enjoyed the audiobook. I think the narrator did a great job and the book was well written. The plot and storyline was easy to follow. My complaint is that this was pretty predictable and it was "put down-able", I wasn't completely hooked or engrossed in the story. I saw the major plot twist coming way before it happened. The final twist was surprising, but there was enough time to guess that one too. Overall, I would recommend this if you're looking for a quick read thriller.

⚠️ Be sure to check the trigger warnings prior to reading this book, there are A LOT of them ⚠️

This book was so intriguing. You never knew where it was going to turn. Though, some things were a little unsurprising. Still, it kept me captured and I couldn’t put it down.

I could not put this book down, or didn’t want to at least. The way the story was broken up into parts and chapters really captivated the reader and set up the past vs. present storyline. I also enjoyed that the story was written from different viewpoints at times. It was such a captivating thriller with the perfect amount of detail. The whole time I was reading, it was like a movie unfolding in my mind. From beginning to end it completely grasped me. Definitely pick this one up!
