About this listen
Brooklyn Blatrix comes from a life of privilege being the heiress of the Blatrix Vacuum dynasty. The daughter of a devoted catholic school teacher and an alcoholic, absentee father, Brooklyn has felt the weight of responsibility her entire life. With her degree in Funeral Sciences just within reach, a text from her boyfriend of six years ending their relationship was not what she expected. Then again, neither was getting fired from her job within the same week. Determined to seek vengeance on her ex and his new girlfriend, Brooklyn sets up a fake social media profile to aid in her plan. However, by day, Brooklyn must start her new job as an intern at Macintosh Mortuary and Memorial Gardens.
Tall, dark, and quiet Brantley McAffey is not what Brooklyn expected from a Funeral Home Director, but that is exactly what she got. Brantley understands Brooklyn, the pressures she feels, and he does it with an air of intrigue Brooklyn can't seem to stay away from. But, Brantley has a secret he's been keeping from everyone - a secret he's willing to kill for - and Brooklyn is about to find herself in the trenches of a trial by media before the year is over.
THE FUNERAL DIRECTOR'S WIFE is a dark, romantic thriller that takes a twisting story of a passionate, but deadly, relationship and mixes it in with the complexities and dangers of social media.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,031
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Heartbreaking Thriller
This was such a good book! I couldn't put it down. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator, Lindsay Harper was so good. I had my earbuds on for a couple days because the novel was exceptionally good and I couldn't put it down. A true dark romantic thriller. Brooklyn's story was so real. This book captures, unhealthy relationships and crazy thinking when dumped and not accepting the truth about someone you think you love. So well written. The story reminded me of Scott Petterson, if anyone remembers him. I don't want to give anything away, but Brooklyn and Brantley's budding romance is a must read. I love Lindsay Keeling's writing style. It kept me engaged and on the edge of my seat. I will be seeking out more books by Keeling. Highly recommend this book if you are in the mood for a thriller with twists and turns.

Meh
The ending was weird and just stopped basically. I wasn’t impressed with this story. I’m not sure how to explain it, but it just didn’t grab me in.

Truly thrilling
I’m not entirely sure what I expected when I started this book, but WOW. I quite literally couldn’t put it down and stayed up way too late. The way the story was written was riveting. Brooklyn was a stressful character to read for me as a paranoid and anxiety-ridden human. She made a lot of choices throughout the book that have you on the edge of your seat.
I don’t want to give away all of the twists and GASP moments, but I will say I very much enjoyed the character development and believability of how this type of situation would go down in real life. I definitely shed a few tears. Shoutout to Ruby for being a great friend!
“She found respite in the horror that was other stranger's lives—mysteries and abominable crimes that could easily be shut off or changed by the click of her phone or television's button.”
“Our love was short
Our love was rare
We started a secret
And finished a nightmare.”
I was switching between reading and listening to the audiobook and enjoyed the narrator as well!
Read this if you enjoy:
⚰️ Dark romance thrillers
⚰️ Books like Gone Girl
⚰️ Lots of 😯 moments

Plotting Revenge
Brooklyn is having a string of bad days. She is a recent college graduate. She should have done her internship while in school but she waited. Now she finds out, her choice career may not be the right one for her. Her boyfriend broke up with her suddenly, right before her graduation ceremony. What timing! Brooklyn wants to take back some of her freedom and self-confidence. She plots, she wants revenge. However, things do not go as planned. Do they ever? Plenty of twists and unexpected turns. Overall, this was a really good story. I listened to the audio version, narration was well done. I will be looking for more from this author. I received a free copy of this audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my review.

good story
I had mixed feelings about this book.
It has a good story, but I HATED the main characters. I think it was designed this way, but if not, then I'm sorry.
The narrator was okay.
