This book . . . . . holy sh*t!!! You just have to read it. This book was so good! Alyssa had a choice to make either choice has serious repercussions. Luke Green is at a crossroads. Thee two are brought together under some rough circumstances. The story is very well written, you will cheer on some and want to throat punch others. This is a great suspense story! This is the second book I’ve read by Jo-Anne Joseph and she has not disappointed me yet!
An intensely emotional and all consuming psychological thriller, this is a definite must read! A story penned like none other that I’ve read, the plotline was never what I perceived and continuously surprised me. Alyssa’s character was written so brilliantly and as a mother, I could understandably put myself right into her shoes. Luke’s character complimented Alyssa perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed this impeccable novel.
What can I say about this book. I loved it.
It sucks you in from the first page when Allyssa is standing in the kitchen over her dead husband’s body. Over the course of the book the reader finds out why this seemingly perfect family ended up like this. What secrets did they hide?
And just when you think you figured it all out… Jo-Anne Joseph pulls out a few tricks from her writers head. This book is full of twist and turns and you never know what will happen next.
I read this book in one sitting, so make sure you have plenty of time to read this read this story undisturbed.
A really intense and interesting story!

I really enjoyed reading Mariticide. This was my first book by Jo-Anne Joseph. I was unable to put it down and was eager to see what happened but at the same time I did not want it to end.
This book was somewhat realistic, included some of the today’s horrific problems.
So read it, you would not be sorry.
This book was SO good! I was pulled in from the very beginning and couldn’t put it down. This book will have you spinning, twists and turns and action packed! I highly recommend!!
Where do I begin? My mind is blown. I’m a bit emotional after reading this truly, exceptional book. The story has so many facets to it! Alyssa, is a strong female character who just wants a happy life with her husband and daughter. But life isn’t always as it seems. When Alyssa discovers something about her husband, her whole life changes. Enter Luke, a psychiatrist, who is trying to help Alyssa, but ends up having feelings for her. He will do anything to help her, but can he? Is it the right thing to do? As I read each chapter, I was on the edge of my seat and questioned what really happened?!! The characters just jump off the pages at you! I was rooting for Alyssa and Luke thru the entire book! The way this author writes is exceptional and makes me want to read more by her. This story is a definite must read!
ma·rit·i·cide
1. the killing of one’s husband.
2. a person who has killed her husband. — mariticidal, adj.
This is a first book by this author for me. I was at a disadvantage as I didn’t know what the title of the book represented, but I had read the blurb and knew this was a book I wanted to read. Once discovering the meaning, it just tied it all together. Powerfully inventive, exciting and full of danger!
~Beware the monsters who hide in plain sight.~
Imagine living in a blissful illusion, blinded by love and trust. Then discovering something so heinous about that one person that you have placed all your faith into for years. And then when that person threatens something you love so dear, what would you do to protect that cherished possession. Alyssa Morgan makes that decision and removes that danger by murdering her husband. Even though she has removed the threat, there is still danger, as evil has many roots that span further than any one person can reach.
Convicted and sentenced to a mental health facility, her doctor, Luke Green believes in her innocence. No one knows of her reasons to commit such a crime, but Luke is adamant in uncovering an explanation and making Alyssa talk. But opening up only brings the monsters out and puts her daughter in jeopardy once again. Can Luke save both Alyssa and her daughter before it’s too late?
I was flipping the pages of this story, faster than a cook flipping flapjacks. I needed answers and the author was holding them closely, only revealing bits and pieces gradually boosting that angst to an extreme high.
Mariticide is brimming with intrigue, drama, action and suspense, winding up with a twist that will flabbergast your mind. An incredible read that I would recommend.
Holy Hell what the eff did I just read is my first thought after reading this book. I mean Mariticide means the killing of one’s husband and I was like shizz this book is so much more than the name but damn Jo-Anne took me on a roller coaster ride that had me screaming and wanting to throw my kindle across the room. You want to talk about total mind eff this book is it! I did not know what to think and just when I think I have it figured out I was completely wrong.
Alyssa has it all until one day something happens and her life is turned upside down. She know she needs help but she has no idea where to go to or who to go to because she knows she can’t trust anyone close to her. She knows she needs to protect the ones she loves but who can she trust.
Then she turns to Luke Greene and when she walks out of his office he knows he is in some serious trouble because he believes in her and will do anything to help her and keep her safe. In his search for the truth he is in too deep to walk away and he will ultimately have to decide between his job or helping Alyssa find the truth.
This is a MUST read that will have you up till the wee hours in the morning reading until you find out what really happened.
Wow what a page turner. This book will have you hooked from the very first page tell the very ending. This book is wow and just no words to express about this amazing book.

She has a way of grabbing you and sucking you into this world that she creates with amazingly detailed characters who you can relate to. With stories that are the dark twisted crazy stories that happen behind closed doors. I loved every minute of this page-turner story!
This book is my first from this author but it will not be my last.
I was sucked in right from the start and it did not let go until the last page. I read it in on sitting and was up until gone 3 am reading.
Alyssa is a woman who will do anything to protect her daughter even if it means destroying the one person in the world that trusts her. I really liked Alyssa she was such a strong woman. Luke is a doctor who believes she is innocent. I liked Luke he falls for Alyssa not long after she walks into his office.
I do not want to go into details of the book but I loved everything about this book, the story, the writing. I didn’t want it to end.
