About this listen
The perfect wife. A fairytale family. Don't believe your eyes.
Jeanie and Matthew are a happily married couple who both have teenage children from previous relationships.
No one said it would be easy to raise a blended family under one roof but Jeanie and Matthew are strong. They will make it work.
And whilst Jeanie's step-daughter Scarlett rejects her, Jeanie will just have to try harder to win her over.
But Jeanie has a past. A terrible secret she thought she'd buried a long time ago. And now, it's coming to the surface, threatening to destroy her new marriage.
Someone is playing a terrifying game on Jeanie and she must put a stop to it once and for all.
After all, a fairytale needs a happy ending, doesn't it?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,604
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

The white-washed Italian villa is perfect. I thought it might feel odd, living in a stranger’s house for the summer, but as my husband and children swim in the infinity pool, I start to relax. And then, in the back of a wardrobe, I find something that shatters everything.... Sparkling green eyes, square jaw, lopsided smile. A young man with his arm around a beautiful woman. The picture is old and faded, but I’d recognize him anywhere. The man is my husband.

Story4 out of 5 stars 218
Becoming a stepmother is the best thing that ever happened to me. My favorite part of every day is picking Charlie up from school, watching her little rucksack bounce behind her as she skips over for a hug. I love the feel of those thin freckled arms around my waist. After a few rocky months of panic attacks when her mother deserted her, Charlie is flourishing. But the day Charlie’s mother Bronwyn returns without warning—showering Charlie with gifts and making promises she can’t keep—fear ripples through me. She doesn’t know just how far I will go to protect that little girl.

Moving to Prospect Close has been everything I’d hoped for. In the city, Oliver and I barely saw each other, irritable at home and rushing around after the kids. But here, the neighbors have been so friendly and welcoming, and we’re now at barbeques and playdates every weekend, all together, as a family. It’s the type of life I always dreamed of. One that’s a million miles from...before. Not that Oliver would know anything about that.

Lucas Forester didn’t hate his wife. Michelle was brilliant, sophisticated and beautiful. Sure, she had extravagant spending habits, that petty attitude, a total disregard for anyone below her status. But she also had a lot to offer. Most notably: wealth that only the one percent could comprehend. For years, Lucas has been honing a flawless plan to inherit Michelle’s fortune. Unfortunately, it involves taking a hit out on her. Every track is covered, no trace left behind, and now Lucas plays the grieving husband so well he deserves an award.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Impressive, worthy thriller!
I would really recommend this audiobook. It was suspenseful, interesting and got me hooked right from the start. I liked the main character, because she was realistically flawed, sentimental and real, but also smart.
The plot contains plenty of elements of suspense and even some supernatural creepiness. I loved the big, secret-filled country house that was home to the family. Our protagonist is a newlywed, having found her dream husband mid-life; along with wedded bliss comes a not-so-awesome stepfamily, with teenage kids and a meddling, snotty ex-wife. The characters were fairly well-drawn out, and I liked the realistic aspects of life in a blended family. When things start getting more and more strange, expect to be shocked and on the edge of your seat while our protagonist works out what is really going on- or does she? This was a fun, suspenseful thriller that kept me guessing, with plenty of characters to keep you engaged. Recommended!

Narrator very good, whats with the nastiness?
Not sure why the hate for her...just hateful people i suppose. She does a very good job. Not too dramatic but but plays the part of the neurotic second wife perfectly. I wouldn't have bothered reviewing but for the mean natured negatives.
Im halfway through the story, and its very interesting and suspenseful. Im enjoying it thoroughly.
Again, she is a 42 year old British woman...she sounds exactly as she should sound. I think some people have old devices.

Twisted thriller took me on a ride
If you could sum up The Stepmother in three words, what would they be?
Twisted, Fast-Paced, & Disturbing
This was great! I loved this book so much!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I thought Marlena was a great character. She directed so much of this story.
Which character – as performed by Karina Fernandez – was your favorite?
Gosh.... I was impressed with Karina's ability to do this book justice! I'm not sure I can pick just one!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I would just say... don't read this before bed. It might creep you out a bit too much to sleep.
Any additional comments?
I was so surprised by this book! I wish I hadn't waited so long to read/listen to it. It was just so darn great!! If you like books that mess with your head... listen to this!!

Bored
I had a hard time getting into this book. I found the main character weak and boring and having no backbone of her own. She just seemed to go from one bad decision to the next doing whatever she was told. She had no depth. The book at one point said she was empty and I find that description to be very accurate. The story of her sister might have been better.

Happily Ever After?
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes ..Loved it
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stepmother?
Well I do not want to spoil this book as I think listening to this and Girl in the Sea had me all tide up? They where both very good and entertaining. Forgive me for mixing up the characters in my last review.
Have you listened to any of Karina Fernandez’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Nope... Love narrator's job ! WAY TO GO KARINA FERNANDEZ ...YOU WORKED THIS DARLING!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Happily Ever After?
Any additional comments?
Great book nice ending shocker .......Cant tell you sorry about that!!!!!!! I recommend using a credit and listening for yourself! REVIEW BY Author DeAnn Deville

Rebecca, meet Snow White
I loved this one! So twisty! The Stepmother is a mystery/thriller retelling of Snow White, complete with a dysfunctional family, a stepmother with a shady past, and pets that just keep dying off for some reason. Lots of tonal and overt references to Rebecca and Jane Eyre. Gothic, referential, and sharply written, this book hit all of my buttons! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves a great marriage thriller.

Just ok
I took me a long time to finish this one. I read three others books in between The Stepmother. It really seemed
to drag on and I kept finding myself wishing I was done it with already. I even read a spoiler hoping to end my curiosity enough to finally just put the book away. But, I am stubborn. I have to finish what I start so I decided to stick with it.
It is a story about Jeannie. The meek mouse who marries her mate after only 6 months of meeting. They try to merge their families while juggling a jealous ex wife and lame drama ensues.
It finally picks up a little toward the end and for that I was grateful. I found the story to be "ok" but I wouldn't call this a psychological thriller.
The narration took me a while to get used to. The main character drove me bananas with her spineless behavior and hand wringing.
I'll rate it 2.5. Not bad. Not great.
