Evelyn Tester is sleepwalking through her suburban life—until a late-night phone call startles her awake. Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn’t alone.
Suddenly Evelyn’s world isn’t as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband’s secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn’s marriage. Although it’s a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent—even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair.
But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette’s picture-perfect life—complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband—the more she yearns for revenge…and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out?

Romance story -- Great Descriptions, Okay Plot
By A. Reader
Billed on the Kindle First page as a psychological suspense story, "Evelyn, After" would fit in nicely on a bookshelf with other Harlequin romance novels. If you are a fan of that genre, you will probably enjoy this book. Here is a quick review, without spoilers:
WRITING -- The reader experiences the story through Evelyn, and is privy to every thought she has while processing her husband's recent affair. Evelyn swims through various emotions in her attempts to come to grips with the events on the night she discovers he is cheating on her. The book can be a bit disorienting at times, as the author alternately subtitles each chapter as "Before" or "After." The reader is whipped back and forth in time, first experiencing Evelyn's initial reactions followed by the choices the "new" Evelyn makes, with the sequence repeated throughout the book. I can appreciate that this creates tension in the earlier chapters, but near the end of the book, a reader can easily deduce the events of the "Before" chapters because of facts already revealed in the "After" chapters.
Ms. Stone entertains the reader with many descriptive passages, such as: "She couldn't remember whatever demons she'd been fighting in her sleep, but there were plenty more crouched and waiting for her when she woke." Another great picture: "...she'd imagined herself growing into an artist with wild, creative friends...Now everything about her was dull...She was one of those moms she'd watched on TV as a child. The pleasant owner of a home on a cul-de-sac, a sight she'd only witnessed in movies until she'd bought that home for herself." These types of passages are peppered throughout the book, and made the book more enjoyable.
PLOT -- Ninety per cent of the book concerns Evelyn, centering on her thoughts and actions. Faced with her husband's infidelity as well as the secret she must share concerning her husband's last night with his mistress, Evelyn's subsequent actions at times might seem unbelievable. However, who can tell what a person's emotions might impel them to do, and the only time I had to suspend belief was when she talked about dropping four sizes in two weeks. Evelyn's choices made sense as she struggled to bring order to the chaos that suddenly invaded her normal life.
WHAT ABOUT... -- The author drops a couple of f-bombs as well as a vulgarity here and there. However, I felt the f-bombs were appropriately spoken in the one conversation where they occurred, and the vulgarities were used sparingly and not scattered throughout the book on every other page. The sex scenes were handled delicately, and as a reader I understood exactly what was happening without the author resorting to language typically used by high schoolers in the locker room.
BOTTOM LINE -- Essentially, this is a story of someone’s wife becoming the woman she has kept locked inside for twenty years. It is not an incredible story nor is it horrible. It is okay, and as I previously stated, Harlequin romance readers will enjoy this one. Let's call it 3-1/2 stars (extra half-star for the great descriptions).

Probably would have liked it if it were categorized properly
By J. Z. Powell
SPOILERS AHEAD. Like another reviewer mentioned, this was marketed as psychological thriller/suspense, and the first third of the book did provide that. But towards the midway point it just sunk a lot into the midlife crisis the main character was going through. Lots of agonizing introspection, not very suspenseful or thrilling at all. I skipped to the end and there was a kind of twist, but it really wasn't all that shocking given what we know about that character. Lots of sex and body image issues, all handled well but I believe a better fit for the romance genre. Author bio says she's taking a turn towards "darker" side of genre fiction but I personally didn't think throwing in a crime and a suicide attempt into what's pretty much a romance novel makes it very dark. Again, the book was definitely well written but it was not marketed properly at all. Two stars for the writing quality.

ONE OF THE FINEST BOOKS I'VE READ IN 2016!
By A Journey Without Map
If the author of the addictive romantic suspense novels in the Troubleshooters series such as The Unsung Hero, Gone Too Far, Over the Edge and Out of Control described Evelyn, After as “the best book I've read this year (2016)," it was good enough for me. Taking New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann’s verdict at face value proved to be a wise choice as historical and contemporary romance author Victoria Dahl turned psychological suspense thriller author Victoria Helen Stone’s debut novel in her new avatar is a stunning read, well-conceived and brilliantly executed.
Evelyn, After follows the emotionally heartbreaking, electrifying story of a forty-plus Evelyn Tester who leads a seemingly happy life. Married close to two decades to Dr. Gary Tester, a psychiatrist by profession, the Testers are blessed with a smart and healthy seventeen-year-old son Cameron Tester who will be off to college soon. Life couldn’t be more promising. But Evelyn’s world came crashing down one evening when she received a phone call from Gary to rush to the site of an accident. One thing leads to another, spinning her world out of control. She’s sick with rage, horror and grief at discovering what her husband was doing to her. Sick that she was married to a man she didn’t know at all. Evelyn had worked, and toiled, almost the entire past two decades for her family – raised money for whichever school Cameron attended, volunteered her time and energy all for the sake of her family. But it all came to nothing. Fury was burning deep inside her.
Then there’s Juliette Whitman, all of thirty-seven, a sweet and lovely perfect blond second-grade teacher, with two perfect little children aged six and eight and a handsome forty-year-old husband Noah Whitman, who owns the Whitman Gallery, a tasteful and elegant boutique shop. Married for over eleven years, the Whitmans, like the Testers, are also leading a seemingly perfect life, respected in the community, and it seems nothing could possibly destroy such a family. Or is it?
Evelyn, After by Victoria Helen Stone is one absorbing read with elements of intrigue, suspense, and romance. Victoria nails you in suspense from beginning to end. The storyline is forever winding, but is always plausible and never unbelievable. The characters are unique and fairly well-fleshed out and realistic, and their roles carefully considered and formed. What makes Evelyn, After so enjoyable is the dialogue between the characters, specially between Evelyn Tester and Noah Whitman. It added flavour to the overall distinctiveness of the story. What really stands out was Victoria’s flowing writing and narrative which really make it easy to follow the story. I was also deeply impressed by the “before” and “after” format used in alternating chapters, which was persuasive and convincing in its delivery. In the end, I’m thrilled to concur with bestselling author Suzanne Brockmann. Evelyn, After by Victoria Helen Stone is one of the most engrossing and absorbing books across all genres that I’ve read in a long time.
