The Other Woman

The Other Woman by Sandie Jones.  294 pages   I read a galley - this book is due out in August, 2018

It's so sweet when a man's close to his mother, right? Unless his mother's the type of women who doesn't like to share.

Emily thinks Adam's the perfect man for her. However, she didn't count on Pammie, Adam's mother, who seems to be doing anything to keep Emily away from Adam. This fast-paced psychological thriller, complete with a huge twist, explores the twisted relationships between Emily, Adam and Pammie. Emily's determined to have Adam for herself; however, Pammie's made it clear that will happen over her dead body. Or is that Emily's dead body?

This is definitely a fast-paced book! I was intrigued by the characters, although admittedly, if I had been Emily, I would have started thinking there was maybe something wrong with Adam or would have just given up.  Emily's got a lot of determination, even when she's up against Pammie, who is all about the psychological, emotional manipulation of both Adam and Emily. You start to wonder after a while if Emily really wants Adam, or if she's just hell-bent on not letting Pammie win.  There is a BIG twist in the book that I didn't see coming and I don't think other readers will, either.
