Don’t botherAppalling. Wasted half an hour skipping through book in an effort to find something resembling the hype. Main characters resembling cardboard cut outs.
Says badly.Half way through and have to give up. Such of the bad writing. Can someone not just say something without the author putting in a context after the word says every time. He says angrily. He says brightly. He says lightly. He says firmly. He says forcefully. I say quietly. I say bla bla bla. Also every time the cops are in it they're sharing looks. They shared a look. How many times have i read that sentence in this book. About 10 time every 10 minutes.
Poorly written and a boring plotThis was one of the worst books I’ve read in a long time. I kept waiting for it to get better. Sadly it didn’t. There was no plot twist and the dialogue was horrendous.
AwfulNo romantic saga,this .Just sex , domination and abuse . It was not chilling or psychological .Very disappointed in the reviews leading me to read this drivel .
Heart-Pounding SuspenseA page turner of nonstop psychological jitters. You will be on thether-hooks grasping all this author has put into this book. A thrill of a Ride to the very end.
Mesmerizing This was a very entertaining read that I struggled to put down even for a few minutes. I read many psychological thrillers and this was one of the best. I am hoping when I research this author that this was not her only book. Ending was an expected and joyful experience!
WARNING: Extreme domestic violence triggers. Avoid reading even a single line if you have suffered abuse or witnessed it and are triggered by it. When I start reading a book, I always read at least 5-10 pages before I list it on Goodreads as "currently reading." When I went on the Goodreads page to list this one, I noticed a couple of things. First, M. J. Hardy is a man - in the words of his bio, "a self-proclaimed Renaissance man." Both of those items sent up a red flag for me. Perhaps this
Amazing read. It focuses on the psychological aspect of an abusive relationship. How it starts, how they always blames their victims for the abuse, how hard it is to get away from this type of relationships. It's full of dark things. And the twist at the last, never expected that.
I downloaded this story this morning and once I started I was unable to stop until I knew Sarah was going to be okay, or atleast be on the road to okay. This was a chilling story of a life lived with an abuser and the lengths one will go to in order to be free. I look forward to reading more books by this author.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Intriguing read. Did not see the ending coming. Good story!
Review to follow shortly.. 5 stars!!!
The Girl On Gander Green Lane is a total mindf*ck, and not just for the reader. Sarah is the envy of the neighborhood, married to the very successful and extremely handsome Richard, oh but what happens behind closed doors is the stuff of film noir. Monsters, whether real or imagined do exist. Read this book and you will believe. The ending while perfect was not enough for me, but doesn't take away from the true psychological thriller that is this book - Thank you SB ;)
Control freakA well paced thriller. Shows how a seemingly perfect couple are not what they appear to be. Little by little, the husband erases his wife's freedom and isolates her from her family and friends. Then he starts to control her whole life.
StunningControl, fear, domination and pain. These are not the foundations for a happy marriage but it is all too often the case. No one really knows what goes on behind their neighbors doors and the truth can be quite shocking.
Suspenseful UnrealityI thoroughly enjoyed the fast pace and very interesting quirks and turns. Did not see the ending coming at all and I am usually pretty quick to read between the lines. Sarah's not so perfect storyand her brief flirtation with accident caused unreality makes for great suspense.
