4.5 stars. So so so good!
Medeia Moore changed her whole life to be with her husband, she changed her clothes, her hair and cut off contact with her siblings to live a better life. All seemed to be going well until one day before her husband's birthday, she saw him with his secretary Anna. They were getting cozy after lunch. Medeia soon learns he is cheating on her with Anna. Over the next course of the novel, Medeia will try and plan an escape route so she is left with something. During this time, she also stalks Anna a ...more
One of the best books I have ever read in this Genre. It is crazy amazing, thrilling and full of suspense and surprise. I was blown away by the words in this book. The book had me on the edge of my sear and I devoured every word as fast as I could. This is a must-read. Prepare yourself. It was AMAZING!
Twisty and dark, the main character of Medeia is one that will stay with me for a long time. There are no Mary Sue characters in this book - everyone has flaws. It’s a haunting tale and one that I truly enjoyed reading!

Allow me to introduce myself.
I'm a smart bitch from the streets, not a doll in a Versace dress. That's the role that I've been playing. I have done a lot of horrible things to obtain money in my life. Killing you and John won't even come close to the worst.
I have covered up my father's crimes just so my family could have groceries for a week. A week. That's all the money it took to motivate my father to mug someone. He even hurt a man so severely that he died three day
Holy cow!!! This book was AMAZING!!!! Definitely on my list for top reads of this year. This isn't a romance, it's classified as a psychological thriller, and rightfully so. This will fuck with your head, but in the most delicious way possible. It's definitely a thriller, you won't be able to put this book down. There's not really any twists, except for the very last sentence of the book, which I'm still crazy over.

Holy cow! Dear Anna had everything I look for in a book. This story sucked me in from that very first page. The notes to Anna were seriously perfect and the workings of a veteran author—not someone writing their first thriller.
Blanchard’s words were flawless. Every bit of this story flowed smoothly and effortlessly. I’ve never rooted for a character like I did Medeia. She was a scorned wife with a horrible, horrible excuse for a husband. This author’s mind was so dark and twisted, the way she w ...more

No character was particularly charming in this book. Our heroine although came from a sad background didn’t really elicit too much sympathy from me. (Basically for money she dropped her family. Sure we are told it was the douchebag husband who isolated her but he did it all by dangling money. Her circumstances were not that dire for her to jump for it - she was working and managing to support herself and her younger siblings.)
Therefore it really wasn’t out of support for the heroine th ...more

This was really really good! It really held my interest and I really enjoyed it. There are not many twists, which sometimes is almost a welcome. Just a straightforward revenge novel with a strong female friendship and a serious douche bag of a husband at the center. I just got her prequel to this one in the mail and am excited to start it soon!
"I grab the apple slicer and hold it up proudly. He rolls his eyes. I want to take the device down his penis and cut it into five even pieces with the middle sorted out. Give Anna more things to suck on this evening when I thoughtfully send the parts to her in a large envelope mailer."
This bitch crazy.
I liked this book. It was gripping and I absolutely love scorned women who are out for revenge.

It was the perfect length of a book. Not too long. The right amount of words. You know when they just ramble on and on about nothing... fillers? Well there isn’t any of that in this book. Everything is relevant to the story and what happens.

This book totally left me with all the feels. This book is about an abused woman who gets revenge on her husband once he sleeps with his secretary.. he tried to keep her as naive as he could by making her cut off all family members and friends but little did her husband know that she saw him with his secretary getting awful cozy. Revenge will be gotten and karma never felt so good. I loved how this book was only one perspective ( the wife’s) which helped me to stay connected to the story. This b

So good. Full review to follow.
Oh. My. God. I read the the plot to this and thought this seems like a fun weekend read. What I didn’t plan was to sit for 11 hours straight on my couch reading the whole thing! Ha! It was THAT good. A woman wants revenge on her husband for having an affair with his secretary. Sounds basic enough but what follows is anything but! This book is clever, unique and had some nail biting moments! One of my favorites of the year so far!! Run don’t walk when this book comes out! Thank you to the publish

This was a gonzo battered women’s revenge tale and I was here for it but I would hope to never actually meet any of these crazy cats in real life. Like Dallas on acid

Dear Anna,
I was the perfect wife.
You were his whore.
You plotted against me with the devil, himself.

Wow! What a thriller, action packed, exciting, riveting, powerful. Oh men, beware your betrayed spouse!

WOW!!! OMG!!! This is my first book by Katie Blanchard and I will be following her to see whatever else she writes. This book was awesome. As you read from the blurb Medeia is married to John, a wealthy man. The opening chapter is you seeing Media watching her husband having an intimate lunch with his secretary Anna, hence the name of the book. Media gave up everything to be married to John and then to find out he his cheating on her is devastating. But, that is not all. She finds out that with

Wow. What a suspenseful thrill ride. Medeia discovers her rich, controlling husband is cheating on her with his secretary. But with an iron clad prenup, divorce is out of the question. What's a girl to do? Murder, of course.
I didn't care for the ending. It seemed hastily thrown together. But the journey to get there was well thought out, well written, and fun to read. I couldn't put it down. Nicely done.

I love books. I love to hold books, look at books, hoard books, buy too many books, and most importantly read books. I decided one day that instead of letting characters act out the day inside my head, that I would put them down on paper. Thus, the birth of Pressing Flowers, my first self-published novel.
