Book Synopsis
In a deliciously twisty tale of seduction, betrayal, and obsession from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shanora Williams, a scorned wife isn't the only one looking for answers--at any price . . . Perfect for fans of Tarryn Fisher, Lisa Jewell, and Alyssa Cole! Adira Smith-Cortez knows how to turn around a troubled past. Now she's a self-made multi-millionaire who takes exquisite care of herself and her only true love: her husband, Gabriel. Adira has it all--except the answer to one tormenting question: why is attentive, affectionate Gabriel cheating on her--with not just one, but two women. There's sexy Jocelyn, a club owner. And then there's Julianna, a celebrity makeup artist he's even crazier about. In a tricky twist, vengeful Jocelyn offers Adira the perfect plan to get her straying spouse back . . . It sounds simple: Adira will befriend Julianna through a fake identity, play on her and Gabriel's vulnerabilities and cause them to split up permanently. Determined to reclaim her happiness, Adira won't--can't--stop to think what could possibly go wrong . . . Until too many of Gabriel's lies start adding up to a disquieting truth. Until Julianna discovers who Adira really is--and Jocelyn pushes Adira to ever-more-unthinkable extremes. With her world collapsing and shattering memories tearing her apart, how far will Adira's obsession take her--and how much of herself is she willing to lose in the process . . .

The Other Mistress by Shanora Williams starts off with an author’s note that warns readers about trigger content. I am glad it is included, but it would have been nice if this was included in the blurb (and then I would not have chosen this book). The Other Mistress starts off on a good note. But then the pacing slows down considerably. I struggled to get through the story to the end. The story is told mostly from Adira’s point of view. We learn very little about Adira in the first half of the book except that she is a successful, rich lingerie designer and that she loves Gabriel, her two-timing husband. I quickly tired of hearing how Adira felt for Gabriel. I do not know how she could forgive cheating and plan to have a child with this man. The dialogue was awkward. The twist at the end was expected. I figured it out long before the reveal. The ending was predictable. There were some bits that were off and there are many holes in the story (think Swiss cheese). I ended up with more than a few questions at the end. The author’s warning was spot on. I ended up skimming over these disturbing sections. I do feel that readers should be warned before obtaining the book. As you can tell, The Other Mistress was not a hit with me.
Bold women and difficult topics

You’re strong, successful, and drop dead gorgeous…but your husband has a mistress…or two?! How far would you go to get him back? This book touches on some really difficult topics.. most of all on the crippling effects of mental health concerns that go unaddressed. It’s a fast paced read—two days for me. I didn’t see the twist coming and when it did I was genuinely shocked. To say it made me sad was kind of an understatement. It’s a powerful read wrapped up in the packaging of a thriller. Would highly recommend.
