Not the best genre to read during Christmas day but, well, domestic thriller is my thing. (Haha.)

I quite enjoyed the experience with this book. It was rather unpredictable. The lies, the pretense and the scheming within the character's marriage were intriguing and I can't help but feel bad for Holly's situation. I mean, abuse isn't just about beating or slapping, it goes beyond the physical aspect of the term. And being trapped in a relationship built on control and manipulation is equally miserable.

Holly is living the perfect life--her husband Zach is loving, gorgeous and smart, but after giving birth to their daughter, she started to see behind the mask her husband wears. What he truly is underneath. And is she capable of playing his game of deception and chicanery to save herself and her daughter?

Interesting plot, awesome character development and unexpected twists. I didn't see the last revelation coming! Shoot, you can't really trust anyone nowadays.

Huge thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

Wow! That was a crazy tale! Lol this book had so many twists and turns it made my head spin! This book also has suspense, intrigue, drama, and lots of jaw dropping twists!! A few of them I definitely did not see coming! I highly recommend reading this book! Its well worth reading! I don't think you'll guess what's going to happen! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Lovely thriller that would appeal to any book lover. Heart thumping action and a perfectly told story. I was stunned by the ending.

I always enjoy trying to solve the tangled web of lies and deceit in a thriller like The Marriage Secret. Zach is a controlling jerk who has Holly in a tight leash. I kept waiting for her to realize his perfidy. Then I enjoyed her plotting and planning to extricate herself from the marriage. Along the way, there are other revelations, including one at the very end that even surprised me. Is Holly an abused wife or the smartest player in a dangerous game of wit and deception? Read for yourself.
