Second Guess Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 25 ratings

Landon Shriver is on cloud nine. He is an art gallery owner, comes from a wealthy family, and is married to successful debonair real estate agent Theo Parks. Nothing could possibly burst Landon’s picture-perfect lifestyle bubble until one fatal night, that is.

A burglary turned homicide attempt in the middle of the night at their new home proves to cause so much angst and turmoil between the couple. But was this home invasion a random attack, or was it pre-meditated? So many entangled webs of lies, secrets, and deceit come to the surface that puts Landon and Theo’s entire marriage in jeopardy.

Is everyone who they claim to be? And does everyone really know who they are in a relationship with? No matter what the answer, one thing is for certain. When a murder happens that close to home, it always leaves everyone second-guessing.

Venomous snakes for hair. A glare that will cast people to stone.

It’s a safe assumption that we all know the basic facts of one of Greek Mythology’s most famous monsters, Medusa.

But the thing with Greek Mythology is just that. They are myths. What if some aspects of these myths have been altered? What if the monster wasn’t really a monster at all? What if her name was Meduso? And what if she was a he?

    REVIEW ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Second Guess by B J Irons. Landon Shriver has it all—his dream career, wealth and Theo Parks, his handsome and successful husband. They are living the dream until one fatal night when everything tragically changes. In the middle of the night an intruder enters their home and attempts to murder Landon, but he manages to fend off the burglar who, in self-defense, is killed. Was this a random home invasion, or was it premeditated? A tangle of lies and secrets is uncovered, and Landon and Theo’s perfect marriage is left dangling by a thread. Does anyone truly know the person they are married to?⠀

    Second Guess is a thriller in every sense of the word. The story is a high octane adrenaline rush that will have you racing through the chapters. Make sure you have enough time when you begin this book because it is literally impossible to put down. The plot is brilliantly and painstakingly constructed, and a new secret or new lie can be found at every turn. This novel has everything you could possibly want in a superb thriller—suspense, drama, romance and the perfect touch of steam heat. B J Irons seems to outdo himself with every new release. The one thing you should never do is “second guess” reading anything from this amazingly talented author. ⠀

    I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't sure I was really going to get into it with it going back and forth with the years but, it didn't take too long to pique my interest. Getting the different perspective part of the way through was a touch and the ending is great.

    I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

    Will try to keep spoilers in this review at the end.

    4.5 stars. I reserve full 5 star ratings for books and MCs I fall head over heels for AND will read again. Plus, a couple of editing issues (Marcia Clark?) really stood out.

    This book hooked me completely. Near the beginning, I almost DNF'd it because I didn't like Landon, one of the MCs, very much. But I kept reading and by 20% in,I was struggling to not sneak a peek at the ending. I was all-in at that point and hanging on every word. There were times I wondered about the reality of police and legal procedure but decided to suspend belief and keep reading and I'm glad I did.

    Is it a romance? Yes, based on HEA, but... Maybe? It's an interesting question that would definitely be a spoiler to include here. Definitely a page-turner and I recommend it.

    Possible spoiler below...

    I've not read or seen Gone Girl. Would readers who have feel differently as they're reading this story?

    This book was awesome. I’m a big BJ Irons fan and his latest does not disappoint. Nothing is what it seems with this book. The plot is well paced with plenty of twists and turns and shifts in tone. I thought I had it figured out like five times! Well done!

    The headline pretty much sums it up. This thriller was in the same vein as Gone Girl. I love it! Even loved the references to Gone Girl that were made throughout the book. The twists were great too. Left be "second-guessing" the entire time.

    Theo is a real estate agent, Landon is an art gallery owner. This is a frightful story about what some people will do for love, or save a marriage. This book actually gave me chills as I was reading. The characters are extravagant, and eccentric in their own ways. They each have flaws, but are good people. The ending actually surprised me, great story.

    This was a very entertaining book to read. It starts as a very basic story line of Theo and Landon meeting, falling in love, marrying, and living an ideal life. All is well until it isn’t. A catastrophic event happens that puts their lives at risk along with their relationship. As a reader I was interested and found the direction the story was taking thought-provoking. Then I advanced to the next chapter and I began second guessing what I had previously read, asking what is going on? Did I misunderstand one of the earlier chapters? Everything that I thought I understood and liked about the characters is now in question. Irons does an excellent job of weaving a web that the reader is slowly entwined within. I was drawn to the story line, finding myself wanting to get back to reading the book to find out what would happen next. And then as I passed the midpoint of the book I could not put it down! I was provided a copy of this book by the author, and am leaving this review that reflects my opinion of the book voluntarily.

    When I start a B. J. Irons book, I never know what I'm going to get. It could be a sweet funny romance or a dark twisted story where it's hard to like one (or more) of the main characters. Second Guess was not a sweet funny romance, and I loved every minute of it!

    Landon, an art gallery owner and his husband Theo, a top real estate agent seemingly have everything until an intruder breaks into their home in the middle of the night and tries to murder Landon. Landon begins to question everything he ever knew about Theo and the evidence backs up the police theory that Theo was behind the attempted murder. There were lots of twists and turns and while most of the book was told from Landon's point of view, I appreciated that Theo got a few chapters, so that the reader could get a glimpse of his viewpoint.

    This book kept me on the edge of my seat, and I stayed up way too late finishing it because I couldn't put it down.

    I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
