Book Mail – Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall

Don’t you love when a highly anticipated read also has an amazing cover??

Thank you to MCD/FSG Books for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

OUR KIND OF CRUELTY – Araminta Hall (Releasing May 8th, 2018)

Here’s another one for the #allthebookreviews spring line up 🙂

Here’s the synopsis:

This is a love story. Mike’s love story.

Mike Hayes fought his way out of a brutal childhood and into a quiet, if lonely life, before he met Verity Metcalf. V taught him about love, and in return, Mike has dedicated his life to making her happy. He’s found the perfect home, the perfect job, he’s sculpted himself into the physical ideal V has always wanted. He knows they’ll be blissfully happy together.

It doesn’t matter that she hasn’t been returning his emails or phone calls.
It doesn’t matter that she says she’s marrying Angus.

It’s all just part of the secret game they used to play. If Mike watches V closely, he’ll see the signs. If he keeps track of her every move he’ll know just when to come to her rescue…

A spellbinding, darkly twisted novel about desire and obsession, and the complicated lines between truth and perception, Our Kind of Cruelty introduces Araminta Hall, a chilling new voice in psychological suspense.

 

The endorsement on the back of the book is what sold me: “This is simply  one of the nastiest and most disturbing thrillers I’ve read in years. In short: I loved it, right down to the utterly chilling final line.” – Gillian Flynn

Who else is excited?
