Behind Her Eyes, a juicy novel by Sarah Pinborough

Juicy. Twisty. Suspenseful.

I can only describe this novel as a masterful twist on the old love triangle theme, it's somewhere between the genres of exciting & suspenseful thriller (90%) and the genre of supernatural/paranormal (10%).

Either way, it was highly enjoyable in it's twists and the ending was a bit mind-blowing.

Our heroine, Louise, is a single mom who finds herself making out with a mysterious stranger one evening (NOT her usual behavior - but fun). The next day she arrives at her job, only to discover that the handsome, mysterious man, David, from the night before is to be her new boss, who is being show around the building with his stunningly gorgeous wife, Adele, on his arm. 

She does what we all would do, dives into the nearest bathroom before she's seen and hides there until everyone has left.

Later, she decides to simply forget that anything ever happened (they only kissed) and go on as usual. But before she know it, she has somehow become best friends with the seemingly perfect Adele, while simultaneously having a steamy affair with her boss, David. Honestly caring for and about them both, she is unsure of what to do.

Caught in the middle, not understanding how she even got there, she discovers what a strange relationship David and Adele actually have. Lot of mysterious and disturbing events and conversations lead Louise on a twisty and confusing path to discover if David is actually a terrible abusive and controlling husband to his lovely wife... or is the wife diabolical and the husband trapped in a terrifying marriage?

So now add in some paranormal threads... and you've got a GOOD book! (Not to mention the ENDING!)

I highly recommend this fun read!
