Thrilling. This was a great book!!! Thrilling at every page and you never expect what is coming. Loved it!!

Loved it!. This was the exact type of book I was looking for. Funny. Mysterious. Mature but not dragging on and one. This one must be one of my new favorites.

I couldn’t put this book down.. I started this book and then I could NOT put this book down. I finished this book in one day. It was SO good and I definitely recommend! The story line gets so good and there are so many unexpected turns. I never knew what would happen next.

Great read uh huh. A real page turner; loved it!

Not Jane Eyre. * Spoilers*. The hype is this is a contemporary telling of Jane Eyre. The only thing that resembles Jane Eyre is the characters name is Jane(or is it?) Mr. Rochester is now Eddie and the crazy wife is locked in a panic room upstairs. Other than that, nothing resembles Jane Eyre. Jane is a thief/goldigger who lures Eddie into marrying him and tries to become like the other Stepford Wife’s in town. Once she discovers what happened to Eddie’s wife she tries to release her, but possibly got it wrong. The house burns down and the bodies of Eddie and the wife are never found. Jane finds out Eddie changed him will and she ends up richer than anyone. This book has no likable characters and the all have dark secrets. I really wanted this story to end as quick as possible. The author stated after she read Jane Eyre she thought Jane could do better. Well, after reading this we deserved something better.

What a waste of time. Worst book. Don’t bother. Trust me.

Amazing work!. Loved this book! Read the preview and I had to buy it! I could not put it down !! Love love. Great book.

Wow wow wow. Soooooo good!! Just when I thought I had it figured out, BOOM, another twist. Thank you for this amazing read. I read it in one day, haha, because it’s THAT good. I just couldn’t put it down. I highly recommend this book!!

Really good. Good read!

Amazing. I couldn’t put it down

COME UPSTAIRS AND DISCOVER THE MYSTERY. THE WIFE UPSTAIRS by Rebecca Hawkins 🌟🌟🌟🌟 from #BookedBySimplyTroy This twisty, Southern Gothic suspense thriller set among the Alabama gated community of McMansions, murder, and mystery is waiting for you to dive in. Jane is a broke dog-walker with sticky fingers in Thornfield Estates when she meets recently widowed Eddie Rochester. His wife, Bea, drowned in a boating accident with her best friend, Blanche and their bodies lost to the lake. As they fall for each other, Jane is haunted by the legend of Bea, a stylish beauty who launched a wildly successful southern lifestyle brand called Southern Manners (which is what I thought it was called in my head while listening to it)/Southern Manors (which is how it’s actually spelled in the book). Think of a Reese Witherspoon Draper James-type southern lifestyle company. Jane has her insecurities and anxiety over Eddie’s late wife, but also a curiosity that keeps her poking around the nosey neighborhood, and doesn’t really like the answers she uncovers. The suspenseful story will keep you moving along briskly and the characters aren’t exactly lovable, but they sure do make you keep turning the pages to find out more. I’m all for characters that aren’t picture perfect robots. Give me the flawed ones any day. They’re so much more entertaining. Jane wasn’t perfect by a long stretch, but to watch her think and be calculating and trying to figure everyone else out in the neighborhood kept me wanting more and more answers. I listened to the entire book in the audiobook format on Libro.fm in a single day and went back and re-read different chapters in the physical book too. Also, I know the publishers are using the “Jane Eyre” marketing tools to bring in the readers but to be honest I didn’t compare it to Jane Eyre in my head as I read it and just had a ball reading it instead. Don’t let that discourage you from picking up the book nor if you’re a huge Jane Eyre fan then being disappointed if it’s not an exact update like you are anticipating. Just go along for the ride, enjoy your suspension of disbelief and allow the book to entertain you cause it was a BLAST of a modern domestic suspenseful thriller with moments where I laughed out loud to myself. I had some “oh let me read that again did that really just happen?” moments that I loved experiencing. Thank you St. Martin’s + Mystery Book Club for the advance book copy and thank you to Libro.fm for the advance listening copy/audiobook. * Named an Indie Next Pick and #1 LibraryReads Pick for January 2021 * "Best New Books Coming Out in 2021" ––PopSugar * "Most Anticipated Thrillers of 2021" ––She Reads * "Best and Most Anticipated Thrillers of the Year" ––Mystery and Suspense Magazine * "Most Anticipated Books of 2021" ––CrimeReads

Hook, line, and sinker!. What a way to start a bookish New Year! If the rest of the 2021 books bring anywhere near the same kind of excitement that “The Wife Upstairs” by Rachel Hawkins did, then we’re in for a treat! Jane starts walking dogs in an uptown neighborhood, trying to flee her past when one thing leads to another, and she ends up setting her sights on Eddie. But there's a catch. After having gone missing from a boating accident where her best friend died, Eddie’s wife Bea was also presumed dead, leaving her fame and fortune to the newly ‘widowed’ Eddie. Can Jane’s luck really have turned that fast? All she has to do is charm Eddie, right? This story really threw me for a loop! I was immediately pulled in: hook, line, and sinker. Now I don't remember much from the original Jane Eyre, but this very fact probably helped me enjoy all of this tale’s wow factors even more. I love when I read (or listen to) a book and think that I have it all figured out only to be shown just how wrong I was! What a thrill ride! Hawkins’ cast of characters was quite entertaining, each with their flaws and redeeming qualities. I went back and forth, rooting both for and against them. The audio is delivered by three separate narrators, each portraying a character integral to the overall story. It's mostly told from Jane’s point of view, with snippets of Bea throughout and Eddie towards the end. Together, their narrations flowed quite nicely. Even though the chapters are character labeled and divided into parts, I could always tell whose I was on by the voice. These three brought the characters to life with a passion. A lot of times, I like to go in between the audio and physical book, not this time - I couldn't get enough of this audio! I'd recommend this book to thriller fans everywhere, so long as you don't mind the whole twisted up classic Gothic retelling aspect. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my complimentary copy of this title. I have voluntarily and honestly reviewed this title.

Wife Upstairs, who cares. Really wanted to like this book but it wasn’t going to happen. Underdone characters and a sloppy ending. You may be thinking of a sequel — please don’t.

An insult. What a joke of a book, waste of money and time. DO NOT BUY.

10000%. This book was sooo good. Would recommend if you like romance with mystery. It was really good opposed with Rachel Hawkins now.

A must read!. A page turner! Such a thriller!

Trite. Such a disappointing book…nothing fresh and new. Hardly suspenseful.

really tired and really cheesy.. this is really cheesy. do not read for a modern retelling of jane eyre, the main character is intolerably obsessed with herself and how she is perceived, and there is nothing new/original added. just a really disappointing read, couldn’t finish it.

Did Not Finish. I had no emotional connection to the main characters even though I was 50% through the book. I struggled to follow anyone’s decision-making abilities.

I binged it!. Truthfully, none of the characters are likable but they’re addicting. I couldn’t put this book down and am already thinking of rereading it!

It was just “OK”. Took me forever to get into this but I didn’t really have anything else to read at the time and there were some twists but like I said in the title… It’s OK if you don’t have anything else to read.

Great Read. First time with this author & I truly enjoyed the book.

Incredible book. This book was absolutely amazing!!!

Decent read. Starts off a little slow where it pretty much isles until the end when it comes to a full stop.

Was this book edited?. “The Wife Upstairs” is absolutely riddled with typos and grammatical errors. Crazy how some people have to fight to have their books published, when dumpster fires like this exist.

Good book, but not worth paying full price for.. Good book, but not worth paying full price for.

Page turner!. Wow. So many twists and turns you don't see coming. Loved it

Riveting. Loved this book. It was gripping from page one. I couldn’t put it down. Lots of unexpected twists and turns!
