Synopsis

Some people just need killing.

Marlena Altizer Durst lives in her husband's shadow. He controls her every move—what she wears, the food she eats, and the friends she's allowed to make. If she disobeys, there are . . . consequences. And he has all the power.

To outsiders, it seems that she leads a fairy-tale life. But nobody ever wonders if Cinderella was happy after she married the prince. Marlena has traded freedom and safety for luxurious imprisonment, and most days, that seems like a bad bargain. Death may be the only exit she's allowed. Just like his first wife. And his second. Unless she flips the script.

On a more positive note, this is a very quick read, probably because there is less than zero character development. This is a subpar non-th......more

2.5 stars "Some people just need killing" I fluctuated between a 2 and a 3-star rating for this book depending on where I was at in the story, so at its conclusion, I settled on a 2.5 star rating. This twisted Cinderella tale was a fast read and yet it was not the book for me. We, as readers, can't lo......more

You can also watch this video on YouTube. *malicious grin* This book is everything. You don’t even fucking KNOW. I just finished it and my fingers are actually shaking as I try to type out this review. Because adrenaline. Real talk, if you are a super sweet person that has never once contemplated doing......more

I’d been looking forward to reading Ann Aguirre’s The Third Mrs. Durst for a while after I saw some early publicity featuring it. The premise is fantastic—“Some people just need killing.” When it arrived in the mail, I was beyond excited. That weekend I was staying at a friend’s house and I was up ea......more
