Rave reviews for The Dictator’s Wife

This latest review of The Dictator’s Wife by Hollie S. McKay has left us on the edge of our seat!

“The Dictators Wife is a complex and engrossing novel that had me on the edge of my seat. I spent the last 6 hours enraptured by Anna's story, reading into the next morning.

Much like our main character we are dropped into a world of confusion, disillusionment, and desperation. I spent the first third of the book feeling disoriented with what was happening, the world seemed so precarious and inexplicable. Anna herself is peculiar. I have to admit I was so bewildered by the first portion of the book I almost DNF'd it.

Anna is a rich kid who has odd parents that are constantly at a distance both emotionally and physically. We as the reader, and she, both feel at times befuddlement because of the odd circumstances and world she's dropped into. The one consistency in her life is her obsession with a certain foreign nation. Like a moth to a flame she is drawn into a world of danger, fear, secrets, and atrocities that call her morality and choices into question.

As Anna's future becomes entwined with the country of her obsession questions start to arise and slowly Anna's world starts to make sense little by little. As she digs deeper into her past her future is jeopardized. On Anna's journey to make sense of her world and odd upbringing we amble through a dangerous and intoxicating world of glitz and glamor as she becomes the wife of a powerful dictator. This book is full of shocking back to back revelations, twists you won't see coming and an ending that I'm still left reeling from.

If you're looking for a gripping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat then this is the book for you. The Dictators Wife will stay with you long after you've read the last page.” —Clarissa L., NetGalley Review
