A review by nomatophobia
My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

dark mysterious sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

a husband gets his rocks off by telling his wife to torture and kill women because he's "poor" and can't afford normal hobbies I guess. the wife tortures and kills women because the husband made the mistake of cheating on a psychopath. I will say it was an addicting little page turner but I do not vibe with it. I do not claim this energy. I was looking for Santa Clarita Diet vibes and got You season 3 vibes.
