I have had my eye on Britney King for some time now and what I found in The Social Affair is so much more than I expected. At first, I was disappointed, thinking I had either read it before, or a book just like it, or seen something like it on a TV show. BUT, by the time I was done, I was amazed. She took this disturbing, dark, psychological thriller to a place I didn’t see coming. The twists and turn kept me on my toes and left me with a big smile on my face. I hope you don’t judge me unkindly, but the darker, more evil the plot, the more I get lost in the villains and victims, and the things that will be done to them, and I LOVED IT! Fabulous ending and one that was a total surprise. The excellent writing and pacing kept me flipping pages until the last page was turned.

ABOUT BRITNEY KING

In this deviously volatile, deliciously creepy thriller from the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER, a young woman must uncover the haunting truth about the turn of events that left her forever marked…
On a crisp fall morning in Austin, Texas, it is a day no different from any other for young mother Hailey Adams. Until it is. She goes out for her morning jog and does not come back.
When Hailey turns up weeks later with no recollection of where she was—and either unable—or unwilling—to explain what happened to her, those closest to her first question her mental status and then her motives. Under mounting pressure from the police and the media, as well as her loving husband, the popular fitness influencer begins to have flashbacks.
But the more Hailey continues to dig, the more reasons she uncovers to keep the truth hidden—from the law, from the media, and especially from her family. She soon realizes she’s not the only one to recently disappear under mysterious circumstances—and her nightmare may be far from over.

Gina’s dad is concerned about what will happen to her when he is gone, so he places an ad in the Farmer’s Almanac for a Mail Order Bride. I do wonder if there is more behind his desire to have her married. What could be in it for him?
Joel responds and comes to Tennessee. He propose and Gina grasps at her chance to get out, but it’s to Texas. She wants to be an actress and her goal is to get to Hollywood.
In the beginning I was confused. We were jumping from one point of view to another. It took me a while to figure out who was writing in the diary, and that is a good thing, a little mystery to stir my curiosity. I never felt a sense of urgency, though I was curious about how it would end.
I did enjoy my time with the characters and seeing this is an ARC, that may be why I thought Mail Order Bride was not polished, was a bit jumbled, not fleshed out. It did not grab me, making me want to read into the early hours of the morning.
I have enjoyed all the Britney King books that I have read, and some of them have blown me away, so she will always be a must read for me.

SYNOPSIS
The
bestselling author of the “clever spine-tingler” The Secretary returns with a
vicious and suspenseful tale of love-gone-wrong.
When
Joel answers an ad in the back of the Farmers’ Almanac that promises to deliver
the perfect wife, he isn’t sure what to expect.
For
sure, it isn’t Gina.
Gina
was aware she possessed secret powers—that’s what her father called them—from a
very young age. He always told her she would make a perfect bride. So that’s
exactly what she became.
She
knows she’s not supposed to use her “powers” for evil and destruction, but Pine
Lake is a small place, and Gina has big dreams—plans, in fact. She also has
charm, beauty, sex appeal, and intelligence.
Only
two things stand in her way: the social norms of 1953, and her new husband,
Joel.
The
solution may call for desperate measures. But, then, if anyone can get away
with murder, it’s Gina.
However,
there’s something Gina has yet to realize. That handsome groom of hers? He’s a
serial loner for a reason.

The Water Trilogy by Britney King is still my favorite, but she writes such interesting psychological thrillers, that I will read…eagerly…any novel she pens. That being said, let’s delve into Fever Dream, a story that takes place in a Texas State Asylum.
Fever Dream is Britney King’s One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.
I am seesawing back and forth with Grace. I am trying to figure out exactly what is going on with with her. I don’t feel she is crazy, but how much does she know? Is she complicit with Clint’s disappearance?
A frontal Leucotomy is in her near future. WTH? The doctor says they are out of options and this is the way to go. He considers her lucky…yeah, right. Is he a mad scientist? Or worse?
I was curious about Elisabeth, not sure whether she was a good or bad person, disturbed, or something else. In the end, I was Team Elisabeth. She is a fascinating character and helped create some twists and turns that I never saw coming.
The rating: Fever Dream kept me reading, but I just didn’t feel that sense of urgency I expected with Grace. Elisabeth definitely made up for it. The ending…it felt a little too rushed for me, but it wasn’t what I was expecting…and that is a huge plus.

The bestselling
author of the “clever spine-tingler” The Secretary returns with an
unputdownable thriller following a woman in a desperate search for
answers after she’s institutionalized against her will.
The
year is 1962, and every night Grace lays her head on her pillow at the
Texas State Lunatic Hospital, she reminds herself she is not what they

Her children and her husband are not dead. They’re searching for her.

Strangely, that someone is hell-bent on making sure the truth stays buried.

even the most menacing of nurses a run for their money, takes bad

Grace

MEET BRITNEY KING
Hello. I’m Britney.
I live in Austin, Texas with
my husband, children, a dog named Gatsby, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge
in a pear tree.
When I’m not wrangling the
things mentioned above, I write psychological, domestic, and romantic thrillers
set in suburbia.
Currently, I’m writing three
series and several standalone novels.
The Bedrock
Series features an unlikely heroine who should have known better. Turns
out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy, dangerous,
forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on revenge. The
series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female,
and Basic Instinct.
The Water Series follows
the shady love story of an unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she
kills for fun. It has been compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and
Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.
Around The Bend is a
heart-pounding standalone, which traces the journey of a well-to-do suburban
housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks to the secrets she keeps. If she
were the only one with things she wanted to keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t
have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.
The With You Series at
its core is a deep love story about unlikely friends who travel the world;
trying to find themselves, together and apart. Packed with drama and adventure
along with a heavy dose of suspense, it has been compared to The Secret Life of
Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.
The Social Affair is an
intense standalone about a timeless couple who find themselves with a secret
admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For fans of the anti-heroine and stories
told in unorthodox ways, the novel explores what can happen when privacy is
traded for convenience. It is reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and
Play Misty For Me. Classics. 🙂

Britney King writes some amazing stories and I want to thank her and Hot Banana Press for the chance to read The Secretary. Does the cover draw you in?
I have read numerous books by Britney King and have always enjoyed them. The Secretary is not one of my favorites, though it does have the creep factor going on.
The boss/secretary affair scenario plays out with a perverted, destructive twist. The slow build carries a lingering sense of evil, because I know anything Britney King writes has a twist that will leave me cringing and uncomfortable, thinking WTH.
Britney King’s writing makes me wonder where her ideas come from, and though this was not one of my favorites, I enjoyed the book and she manages to put a twist at the end that makes me think The Stepford Wives have nothing on The Secretary. I look forward to what she comes up with next.

From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a new mind-bending thriller about a young woman whose life takes a wicked turn when she lands her dream job.
The job comes with a lot of perks. A mysterious new boss is one of them. His deep pockets don’t hurt.
In her first week, Gillian finds a note on her desk with two boxes and a question: Will you have dinner with me?
Check yes or no.
It was easily the best night of her whole young life.
The second note arrived looking very much the same, only different.
Do you have what it takes to be in my world?
Gillian has been asked to handle a lot of tasks in her work.
But covering up a murder might be the strangest one yet.
Check yes or no.
She can check yes and face prison time. Hypothetically.
No, and she finds out why the job was vacant in the first place.
Tautly paced, The Secretary
is an unnerving and electrifying psychological thriller about illusion,

“Roils with passion, rancor, and greed
wrapped in Southern politesse… King’s intricately woven mystery is sure to
please fans of the thriller and suspense genre far and wide.”
Jester Falls has always been an idyllic town. Perfect for
a getaway. And what better place to stay than Magnolia House, the tourist
trap’s most popular bed and breakfast, run by the eccentric Channing family.
Ruth Channing loves her family—at least what’s left of
it. She’d do anything to protect them.
But it isn’t until her brother picks up a mysterious
woman on the side of Route 78 that Ruth realizes how many definitions the
word anything can have.
Everything about Ashley Parker rings false: her past, her
profession, even her name. Most worryingly of all, her reluctance to leave.
When guests start disappearing, it’s clear there’s more at stake than just the
family business… a lot more.
MY REVIEW
I will always grab a chance to read a Britney King novel…the reason…she manages to surprise me, keeping me guessing what is to come. She continues her magic in Passerby.
Beginning: She finds two bodies. What would you do? Call the police? Not Ruth Channing. Why? That is what I want to know. Even more than the fact of why they are dead to begin with. And who they are…Surprise!
Ruth Channing lives in the small town of Jester Falls, but her life is no joke. We all know about small towns…there are no secrets…or, at least, they don’t stay secret for long. She was born with the umbilical cord around her neck and it seems that same luck follows her throughout her life.
All that is left of Ruth’s family is her two brothers, Johnny and Davis. Davis seems to be the golden child and it is no surprise to Ruth when he leaves on a cross country trip, leaving her and Johnny to run Magnolia House, a bed and breakfast. She works her fingers to the bone, sacrificing any kind of personal life to keep Magnolia House going.
Davis arrives home, but he is not alone. He brings Ashley with him. I am not sure what’s up with her, but I feel she has an agenda, especially after she and Davis announce their wedding plans so soon after arriving.
The Holts…seems like the Holts and Channings have a Hatfield and McCoy feud going on and not only fists are flying. In small towns,, there is always a ”history’ and there are many undercurrents running through Jester Falls.
Ruth is the fixer in the family and I wouldn’t blame her if she washed her hands of the messes she is constantly cleaning up, especially when it comes to Davis.
Ruth…OMG…it seems the world is against her, even her own family. You never know what people will do when money is involved. I can’t figure out why…Davis, the glorified loser and Johnny….Does no one see? I am sooooo angry FOR Ruth…and very worried. I am angry at how she is treated, but she does have one ally, who will drop everything to come to her aid.
White knuckled, edge of the seat suspense, and Britney King does not make it easy to unravel the mystery, pushing and pulling me in different directions, throwing out red herrings and misleading me, all while the pacing and suspense build to an intolerable level. I HAVE TO KNOW! Read faster…My only complaint is that I felt confused in the beginning. I have to remember this is an ARC and all questions will be answered, even if they are not what I was expecting…That is why I love Britney King’s creative writing, with storylines that get my emotions roiled up.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of Passerby by Britney King.

Britney King has done it again in her psychological thriller, The Book Doctor. The Prologue smacked me in the face, made me duck and cover, and had me rapidly turning the pages to find out what in the hell is going on.
George is a writer with a book deadline months past due and a wife with severe mental issues and the story takes off. It quickly becomes a twisted mess and I’m wondering what is going on with Liam. And his wife? My head is spinning.
George is living in hell.
A terrifying look into the life of a mentally disturbed woman and the man who cares for and keeps both of them safe. An impossible task, I believe.
Great job, Britney. You had me til the end and what a wild ride it was. I went down the path you led me and walked into crazy town. You had me questioning the characters actions, feeling something was a little bit off, and I never saw the ending coming.
I love books with serial killers and this led me down a murky path. The pacing kept me turning the pages, having to know what comes next. I can highly recommend every book of hers I have read.

From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes a riveting new thriller about a writer desperate to make a comeback who realizes that success may cost more than he can afford to pay when a stranger arrives at his door.
George is bitter. As he should be. Once a household name, George is dying to make a comeback, and death may be the only option left to get the public’s attention. Ask anyone, his life is unraveling at the seams. Meanwhile, his new apprentice is everything he is not.
The enigmatic man his publisher sends to help is young and ambitious, with looks that could kill, and possibly do.
When George discovers that his apprentice’s talent extends beyond fixing broken plots, that his winning formula may, in fact, be a result of making the crimes in his novels come to life, George has to ask himself how much he is willing to overlook to achieve mainstream success.
Perfectly paced, The Book Doctor is an electrifying psychological thriller about a life’s work, obsession, and the dangerous places ambition can take you.

Any book by Britney King is high on my reading list, so as soon as Kill Sleep Repeat hit my Kindle, I was all over it. Britney has never disappointed me and this one was so much more than I expected.
As soon as Kill Sleep Repeat hit my Kindle, I began reading. I cannot let one of her thrillers sit on my virtual bookshelf. I must know who will be put through hell this time.
Stay focused. Remain in character. Don’t get murdered. For Charlotte, they are rules to live by.
Charlotte is a flight attendant and an assassin, which makes it easy to travel to her marks. Her victims pay the ultimate price. She’s married to Michael, with two daughters, but no one knows her secret. She is a sociopath, no conscience, no remorse and revels in wrapping her hands around her marks neck until no sign of life is left, but they are all villains in their own right. Her father was a sheriff, so maybe that’s where she comes by her need for justice.
She killed for the first time when she was in college, but Britney King doesn’t let it be just a murder. This the first twist that caught me offguard and I am loving it.
Do we ever really know someone? Their true thoughts and feelings? What they are doing when we are not with them? How long can someone hide the truth from their spouse, their family, their friends? How long before they all figure out who you really are…a sociopath.
Henry…is a good or bad? Can she trust him?
JC…well, I see him being a big problem and I’m not sure who he really is…until…
The website. I love how she handled that. Adds a little something extra, which is something Britney King manages to do in each and every story. It’s the little details that make a story something special.
Britney King is excellent with book surprises and I was hit with one after another, each larger than the first. I never saw the direction we would go, the danger and intrigue. I want to say more, but I want you to experience this for yourself, so mum’s the word.
As I read Kill Sleep Repeat, I was totally in Charlotte’s corner. She may be a vigilante, taking the law into her own hands, but I want her to succeed and survive. I want her to get her revenge when she is faced with the ultimate betrayal. Kill or be killed.
I bounced between 4 and 5 stars, but because it is an ARC, I will overlook the tiny issues I had because it is just that good!

GOODREADS BLURB
From the bestselling author of The Social Affair and HER comes an intense and deadly provocative thriller which follows a woman who, in a fight for survival, realizes her job may cost more than it pays.
Several times a week, Charlotte Jones leaves suburbia behind and boards a chartered flight to parts unknown, where she wraps her hands around the necks of marks for just as long as she has to.
Then she goes back to domestic life with a paycheck, defense wounds, and the sense that she can handle anything.
Which is good, because being a wife, mother, and sociopath, with an insatiable taste for murder, gives the term work-life balance new meaning. When one life unexpectedly bleeds into the other, leading to a secret admirer and borderline insta-fame, Charlotte is forced to ask herself if she really can have it all.
Slick and unsettling, Kill, Sleep, Repeat is a cunning tale of deception and desire that begs the question: Do we ever really know people the way we think we do?

I am a huge fan of Britney King’s so I an very excited to share her newest release, Room 553, a psychological thriller, another nail biter that kept me guessing til the end…and what an ending it was.
I read the Foreword to Room 553 by Britney King and laughed out loud thinking, right Britney. Now you know I have to continue reading! OMG!
I didn’t see the direction this was going when I began. In fact, I was a bit disappointed because Britney King writes some fabulous stories and I am usually biting my nails and racing through the pages as soon as I begin. Not so with this psychological thriller. It is more subtle, slowly sucking me in, revealing the characters in starts and stops.
The story bounces between Max’s perspective and Laurel’s journal writings.
The characters, at first I didn’t think much of any of them, but as more of their personalities, sick, perverted personalities, were revealed, I began to think, there isn’t one of them worth redemption. Maybe they will all get what’s coming to them.
Room 553 gets deeper into their twisted world becoming darker, uglier more depraved as the threads are woven together to create surprises and turns that gave me a steady supply of WTFs. That ending…worth a star in itself! Love that Britney King can blow my mind making me think of the book long after I have finished reading it.
Even though I thought Room 553 was too tame for me in the beginning, the little nuggets of goodies started popping up…then, full on, psychological and psychopathic profiles were exposed and I was in my element. But, don’t judge me on my love of reading materials. 🙂
I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Room 553 by Britney King.

553. Their illicit affair is exhilarating, passionate—and dangerous.
Driven as much by compulsion as pleasure, Max can’t stop. His
mistress is Jesus on the streets, and Satan in the sack. But when things take a
sharp and sudden turn for the worse, he finds himself ensnared in a trap of his
own making.
Under heavy scrutiny by the police and the media, Max is hailed
as a cold and evasive womanizer. He made mistakes, to be sure. But does that
make him a killer?
Unnerving and addictive, Room 553 is a vivid and sensual psychological
thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless desire, and blind, bloody
justice.
Britney King lives in Austin, Texas with her husband, children, two dogs, one ridiculous cat, and a partridge in a pear tree.
When she’s not wrangling the things mentioned above, she writes
psychological, domestic and romantic thrillers set in suburbia.
Currently, she’s writing three series and several standalone
novels.
The Bedrock Series features an unlikely heroine who should have
known better. Turns out, she didn’t. Thus she finds herself tangled in a messy,
dangerous, forbidden love story and face-to-face with a madman hell-bent on
revenge. The series has been compared to Fatal Attraction, Single White Female,
and Basic Instinct.
The Water Series follows the shady love story of an
unconventional married couple—he’s an assassin—she kills for fun. It has been
compared to a crazier book version of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Also, Dexter.
Around The Bend is a heart-pounding standalone, which traces the
journey of a well-to-do suburban housewife, and her life as it unravels, thanks
to the secrets she keeps. If she were the only one with things she wanted to
keep hidden, then maybe it wouldn’t have turned out so bad. But she wasn’t.
The With You Series at its core is a deep love story about
unlikely friends who travel the world; trying to find themselves, together and
apart. Packed with drama and adventure along with a heavy dose of suspense, it
has been compared to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Love, Rosie.
The Social Affair is an intense standalone about a timeless
couple who find themselves with a secret admirer they hadn’t bargained for. For
fans of the anti-heroine and stories told in unorthodox ways, the novel
explores what can happen when privacy is traded for convenience. It is
reminiscent of films such as One Hour Photo and Play Misty For Me.
Without a doubt, connecting with readers is the best part of this
gig. You can find Britney online here:
