No one and nothing can make me feel the way Tarryn Fisher's writing does. The Wives had me on edge from the first chapter, and just when I thought I knew where it was going, I was blindfolded, whipped around, and shoved into a dark cave where I had to find my way out again. The brilliance in Fisher's writing is that she has the power to illustrate how we're all a little crazy, or is it that all our crazy is a little normal? Whatever it is, I always close her books and stare at a wall, contemplating my own sanity. The Wives is a crowning jewel on an already impressive and magically twisted backlist of Fisher's paralizing and perfectly f*cked up fiction. You will question everything until the very last page -- and honestly, long thereafter. If I took anything from reading The Wives, it's that nothing is as it seems, and Tarryn Fisher is a word-crafting witch. I'm completely under her spell, and I never want to be released. Five gripping, heart-pounding stars for The Wives. Prepare to have that top spot on your Favorite Books of 2019 replaced in the final stretch with this magnificent and thrilling masterpiece.
