Their Double Lives by Jaime Lynn Hendricks 

4 out of 5 stars 

Everyone here knows that my dog, Luna, is my reading buddy and best friend. She’s a happy go-lucky pup that loves long walks, delicious food, and the occasional ball (except you can’t have it to throw for her). I’d love to say she’s also super smart – like majority of her breed – but she doesn’t have much going on behind those ears. Regardless, if Luna needed lifesaving surgery that I could not afford, I might do exactly what Kim Valva does. 

Kim Valva is a waitress at a country club that is going through it! Her boyfriend cheated on her, her social life is a disaster, and her goldendoodle, Murphy, needs surgery. One day she gets a package that could turn her luck around. A mysterious figure, calling themselves The Stranger, makes an offer she can’t refuse: put a pill in a new member’s drink and when he dies, she will have enough money to save Murphy. Unbeknownst to her, the target is her high school ex, Tony Fiore, and he’s with his fiancée, PJ Walsh. Kim couldn’t go through with it and vowed to find another way to help Murphy. Except, by the end of the evening, PJ is the one who ends up dead. 

I loved this game of cat and mouse and raced to the last page (by speeding up the audiobook). This book has it all: entertainment, comedy, murder, and so many twists your head will be spinning. Hendricks writes a well thought out premise through multiple POVs that draw you in for such a wild and addictive ride. I was fortunate enough to be provided with an ALC copy narrated by Emma Love, who does an AMAZING job! If you enjoy audiobooks, I highly recommend getting this one! 

Thank you to Netgalley and HighBridge Audio for my ALC!
