Almost
Addy knows every love story begins with a choice-and every nightmare does too.
At her husband's funeral, Addy meets Heath-a man who knows loss just as well as she does. Their whirlwind romance feels like a second chance at life, but whispers from the past refuse to stay buried. Addy has secrets she swore she'd never tell. Heath has questions she can't afford to answer. In this house, it's impossible to know who the victim really is.
Dark, twisty, and disturbingly addictive, ALMOST is a domestic / marriage thriller that will keep you doubting every chapter-and everyone.

I’ve read all of Samara Cove’s books, and Almost is hands down my favorite one yet. It’s smart, gripping, and full of jaw-dropping moments. If you love thrillers that keep you guessing until the very last page, this one is a must-read.

By the time this book ended I had no idea who to believe. Though all things considered, Heath is fucked up. I had a great love-hate relationship with the characters in this book. None are all good or all bad but all have questionable decision making abilities. As much as I disliked Addy, I liked her independance and smarts when it comes to how she handles Heath but by the end you almost understand everyone's motives but suspicion lingers long after the story ends.
Great read.

📚 BOOK REVIEW: Almost by Samara Cove ⭐⭐⭐⭐½
Wow. Samara Cove did not play around with this one! I just finished Almost, and my mind is absolutely spinning.
It is a brilliant, fast-paced psychological thriller that pulls you straight into the mystery. The atmosphere is completely unsettling, the characters are wonderfully flawed, and the twists caught me completely off guard. Just when I thought I had everything figured out, the plot completely shifted.
This book is easily a 4.5 out of 5 stars for me! If you love domestic suspense that keeps you guessing until the very last page, add this to your TBR list immediately.

This book pulled me in fast and kept me questioning everyone the entire way through. The grief, secrets, and tension between Addy and Heath created such an unsettling atmosphere where nothing ever felt completely safe or honest. Every time I thought I had a handle on what was happening, another twist would shift everything again.
Addy was an especially interesting character because you never fully know whether to trust her, sympathize with her, or fear what she’s hiding. The relationship development between her and Heath felt intense and obsessive in that way domestic thrillers do best—where love and danger blur together until you can’t separate them anymore.
The pacing stayed strong throughout, and the constant feeling of paranoia made this incredibly hard to put down. While a couple reveals felt slightly predictable for me, the overall tension and addictive writing more than made up for it.
Dark, messy, and full of secrets, this was a solid psychological thriller that kept me hooked from beginning to end.

Every character in Almost is CRAZY! Keeping secrets, lies, cheating on spouses, controlling abusive relationships, murder. BUT, who is telling the truth? Almost is twisted!
