Publisher's summary

They say you fall in love when you least expect it.

As the warmer days of summer gave way to the shortened, crisp days of fall, my life changed in the most unexpected of ways.

I met two men and was not prepared for either of them.

Theo was warm, generous, and easygoing; whereas, Wyatt was intense, serious, and protective.

They share a past that neither one are honest about. Whatever happened all those years ago has created an undeniable rift between them.

Augmenting the charged and confounding emotions of new love, our city has been terrorized by a serial killer, and I can feel someone watching me.

Theo and Wyatt both claim to be trying to protect me.

I’ve learned that first impressions are not accurate and neither man is who he seems to be. Dishonesty and darkness often share more than the same past.

Not all love stories come in a perfect, tidy package with a pristine bow on top. Some are born from places so black that only the love itself escapes the darkness unscathed.

This is our story.

Mystery

I love the murder mystery romance ! It’s overall good . I love the plot. It does have a love triangle but it’s written well .

Wonderful story

I really enjoyed this romantic/thriller type book. I'm a sucker for anything with this type of vibe, so of course I ate this up.

The only issue I had was some of the spice with audio really made me squirm, but past that, it wasn't enought that I HAD to put it down, ya know?

Without giving too much away- Millie is, but isn't, the typical girl in books. I was actually quite the fan of her and the two guys. They didnt really give me the ick like most do in books.

That, and the author did a great job at making you second guess who actually is the person in the end! I thought I had it nailed, then the author really threw me off guard. The ending really shocked me.

Mystery

I listened to this entire book over the course of 2 days. I literally couldn’t stop listening. Amazing story and narration

Amazing read!!

This was a fantastic read!! This book kept you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Aperture is the perfect romantic thriller. There were so many twists and turns. This was my first book by Stefanie Blais and it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed her writing style. The narrators did a phenomenal job with this audio! This book had such a great plot. If you’re looking for a romantic thriller, I highly recommend you pick this one up

Stunning!!! Tense, Engrossing and WOW, Yes!

Millie, Theo, Wyatt … three lives intertwining … love, betrayal, conflicting stories, and a past that neither man will be open, or honest, about ... Then there are the odd occurrences, the vague feelings of being stalked, and the serial killer on the loose … Powerful, tense and engrossing, “Aperture” is in a word, AMAZING! The writing is beautifully clear, mesmerizingly drawing you in, capturing you, engulfing you in the world of these beautifully defined, interesting, HUMANLY flawed characters. You find yourself caring about them, caring deeply about what happens to them as you wonder WHO … they … really … are. You know each man is hiding things, you wonder; are THEY really the bad guy, as you try to piece together the clues, masterfully dropped like breadcrumbs by the author… Loosing sleep, foregoing chores, telling your husband “lets get dinner delivered tonight”, because you just can’t bear to stop listening … Because you HAVE to know… At least that was MY experience as I listened to this tense, engrossing MASTERPIECE, of a romantic suspense, mystery, thriller! Speaking of listening, the narration was akin to an out of body experience for me as it took me fully into Millie’s world! I laughed with her, and yes I cried with her! I felt her emotions. There was one chapter where I was so immersed in what Millie was feeling that I was fighting for breath! My husband actually broke “through” to ask if I was okay. I say broke “through” because he had to try and get my attention several times before I surfaced and became aware of him! I won’t say which chapter, I don’t want to be a spoiler, but I’m sure you’ll KNOW when you get there! And it wasn’t just that chapter. I felt every emotion, every spurt of anger, every bit of frustration, EVERYTHING felt by every character in this beautifully balanced, multi-narrator presentation, and only narration of THIS caliber can do THAT to a listener. I had no doubt that I was experiencing this mind blowing story exactly as the author intended, It really is stupendous! Five stunning stars!

Steffanie does it again!!! This book was amazing!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔥🔥🔥🔥

Steffanie Blais has done it again!!!! Oh my gosh this book is so freaking good!!! I listened to this with audible, and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. It took me less than a day to devour!

This story follows Millie, Wyatt, Theo and an unknown person. Right from the prologue this book hooks you in and has the reader intrigued. I’m not about giving spoilers in reviews so obviously I can’t say much but holy cow I truly had no idea who to trust (other than Millie and sweet Milo of course). Love triangles usually aren’t my ideal trope, but Steffanie is a “one click” author for me so I gave it a try. I can say without a doubt this book ends perfectly and was so great!!! I highly recommend this book, especially in the audible form.

Thank you to Steffanie Blais for the ALC of this wonderful read!

Romantic Suspense at its finest!

This is one of my top 5 favorite books I’ve ever read so I was over the moon when it heard it was becoming an audio book! It absolutely did NOT disappoint! The narrators brought the story to life and connected dots for me that my own imagination couldn’t. I’ve never been a huge audio book girly but this changed my life forever! I loved listening to every second!
