Wow, you never know about people especially if it’s people you’ve never met. This book definitely kept me interested from the beginning. I couldn’t stop reading because I needed to know what was going on, and what was going to happen! Loved this book! It reminds me not to go digging through my family history!

I thank the publisher for letting me read this book.. It was a whirlwind and kept me turning the pages to see what was next. The suspense was unending.
The premise of the story unfolded nicely. I never would have guessed the ending.
Great book, Lisa Unger. A new author for me.

Thank you to Netgalley for allowing me to read this book and to give my honest review especially since I have read Lisa Unger’s books for many years and was so excited to get the opportunity to read an advanced copy. I enjoyed parts of this thriller since it’s very different from the “norm” in regard to the genealogy aspect of it. I would however not recommend it to others because I think women were portrayed to be weak and to ignore their hearts and minds at the expense of the psychological well-being of themselves and other women because of men. I personally had some difficulty with a few characters and actually had to book the book down more than once to take a break due to the frustration of their actions, behaviors and personalities in general. I was also disappointed at the end by how one particular character was just “forgotten” when everything happened. Lastly, there were comments made about women throughout the entire book implying that our actions were to defend terrible men vs protecting one another. Even the book ended with a supposedly strong woman that still stood by a man who was a rapist, animal killer, adulterer and basically harmed innocent children by his actions without ever showing any remorse for any of his heinous behavior. Personally, I think there are many, many women who will read this book and to continue to diminish themselves and believe their self worth is dependent on a man. Very unfortunate & disappointing.

Thank you to NetGalley and Legend Press for this ARC. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

What a wild ride this book was! A fast paced, locked room mystery that kept me up late for several nights because it was so un-put-downable! I loved the multiple points of view and trying to guess how they all intertwined before coming together at the end!

I love a good thriller with unexpected twists and this definitely hit the mark! Highly recommend!

4 stars from me. It was a binge read and now I'm scared to stay in a cabin again!

The character list was extensive in the beginning so I ended up making a chart however it became easy to keep them seperate

I was thinking Brackens character was going to go somewhere but it didn't seem to. That's the only con I have.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review this book.

Three couples rent a luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway in this thrilling, atmospheric, novel.

What could be more restful, more restorative, than a weekend getaway with family and friends? Especially in an isolated luxury cabin in the woods, complete with spectacular views, a hot tub and a personal chef. The reviews are stellar.

But a deadly storm is brewing. The owner seems just a little too present. The chef reveals that the beautiful house has a spine-tingling history. And the guests have their own complicated pasts, with secrets that run blood deep. The perfect weekend is about to turn into a nightmare.

Lisa Unger has a real talent for creating atmospheric (shall we say creepy?) plots with enough twists and turns to keep readers guessing until the end. Highly recommended. #SecludedCabinSleepsSix #NetGalley #SaltMarshAuthors

Hannah's brother, Mako, books a weekend getaway at a high end, secluded, cabin in the woods for a few family and close friends. She thinks it might be the perfect way to reconnect with her husband who lately has seemed a bit distant. Everything seems perfect but a storm is approaching, their host is unsettling, and the personal chef tells them the house has a tragic past. Not everyone is who they seem to be, who can be trusted, and will any of the guests make it out alive.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was a dark thriller/mystery that was high on my list to read this year. Lisa Unger is usually a "go-to" author for me when I need a good read. Unfortunately this one just wasn't a good fit for me. The writing style was fantastic, pacing was good, and the plot was intriguing with lots of twists and turns along the way. I think the biggest issue I had with this one was that I didn't like a single character. That being said the problem is another "it's me not you" situation in which many readers will still really enjoy this one.

This was my 2nd book by Lisa Unger, and it did not disappoint. 4/5!

Summary: Hannah’s brother Michael (Mako, like the shark. Yes, you heard right) is a tech mogul. Hannah and Mako have always been close, but Hannah is more level headed while Mako is always putting on a show. Mako put together an extravagant getaway at a secluded cabin with a private chef and staff. The first night together starts off fun, but little things start happening that make Hannah on edge. Then, someone goes missing, and the real trouble starts. Everyone has a secret to hide, but they all unravel throughout the night. The story is told from multiple POVs, including Hannah, her childhood best friend Cricket, Henry (who is on his own quest, but the details come together in the end), Bracken, the host of the house, and Trina, Mako’s assistant. The story itself is fast paced, and the events of the night happen during a storm. Lisa’s writing allows the reader to feel present along with the characters. I personally like when all of the pieces of the puzzle are tied up in a bow at the end and it’s a somewhat happy ending! Each chapter had me wanting to read more until the end. The thing I didn’t like was Cricket’s POV as well as Bracken, but I think they’re supposed to be unlikable. Overall, 4/5, and I want more Lisa Unger!

“Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six” by Lisa Unger is basically a locked room mystery. Three couples rent a luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway and soon all hell breaks loose. I was initially intrigued by Hannah’s character and narration, but then the multiple narrators and short chapters started to get tedious. The ending was rushed and a bit of a cop out.
Overall, a quick and mildly entertaining read.

Thank you Netgalley and Legend Press for the copy of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six. First of all, I read The Shining and it scared me half to death so I would never stay at a cabin called the Overlook! And this one, the Elegant Overlook, turns out to be creepy and really isolated with some ghost stories of its own.
At first I was thrown off because there were so many characters, but I trusted that their stories would all come together in the end so I didn’t get discouraged. Henry had a compelling story and his upbringing added diversity to the other privileged characters, so he was the most interesting. The story was not unique, but it was well-executed and really kept me reading to find out how it ended. If you’re looking for an immersive, kind of spooky read, don’t miss this one!

Have you ever thought of submitting your DNA to find out your ancestry? Well you’ll think twice after reading this thriller!! A relaxing weekend getaway turns sinister when Mako and his wife Liza invite four others to a “secluded cabin” in the mountains. Little do they know, others are about to join them and turn their world upside down. You don’t want to miss this one!

This is an amazing book, so full of twists and turns I almost couldn’t keep up. What possible problem can doing a simple DNA test create? The author does a spectacular job of weaving what seems like two different stories into one. The story is told from several points of view and during different timelines. It’s been 10 years since I read a book by this author and I’m going to have to do some catching up. This is a superb book. I think anyone who likes mysteries and thrillers would enjoy this book. I received an arc of this book from NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed are my own.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for an advanced copy. This was my first time reading this author, and I had an good time doing so. "Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six" is a locked room thriller about 3 couples going on vacation, where secrets and drama are revealed, and it may even lead to murder.I liked that this locked room thriller had a unique plot that included DNA testing. There was an overarching theme of family, what it is, what it means, and how sometimes chosen family is more important than blood. I liked hearing form all of the different POVs but at time it got slightly overwhelming due to how many characters we were hearing from. These various characters, many who are unlikable, you end up rooting for which may shock you (well there was one in particular that I didn't root for.) I enjoyed that contrast and individuality of each character. My critique would be that at times it seemed to complicated going from each story line. I figured out many of the twists but that did not take away form my enjoyment. I would consider checking content warnings if there are specific traumas that would trigger you. I know the author had written many books before this and I would consider picking up some of her back list books. 3.5!

I was HIGHLY anticipating this read. I LOVE a great thriller and Lisa Unger did NOT disappoint. Lisa Unger is one of my favourite authors and this is definitely one of my favourite reads of hers. I finished this book in one sitting because I did not want to put it down - the suspense, the storyline, the characters - I loved it all! I truly felt captivated in this book the entire time reading it, like I was in that cabin myself lol. Definitely recommend this one!

Thank you NetGalley and Legend Press for this amazing ARC!

What seems like it would be a dream weekend getaway with friends and family turns out to be anything but that… Hannah and her brother Mako have always been very close. He is a highly successful business man who likes to be very generous but also a bit flashy in his gift giving. For her birthday this year he surprises his sister with a weekend stay at a high end, secluded cabin in the woods of Georgia. Hannah and her husband Bruce along with Mako and his wife Liza join with Hannah’s best friend Cricket and her new boyfriend for the getaway. The secluded cabin sleeps six. Upon arrival, each couple feels different vibes coming off the luxurious lodging. Hannah gets a strange feeling from the personal chef and is bit put off by some of the disturbing wall hangings decorating the place. Liza feels an unsettling current as well, especially when she meets the builder and owner of the place Bracken. The only couple that doesn’t seem rattled by the cabin is Cricket and her companion Joshua who dive right into the festivities. But as the night progresses, things seem to take a turn as a storm approaches and some strange sightings are witnessed on the property. (Fueled by a tragic history of the place) Emotions are heightened, deep hidden secrets between the group start to surface, and everyone begins to look at the other with suspicion and uncertainty. There is a lot going on in this novel and it is hard to cover it all in one review. But the main plot and the atmospheric backdrop drew me in right away. There are so many twists and turns throughout that kept me interested and turning the pages in anticipation of the frenzied climax. I really enjoyed this read and gave the novel a 4 star rating.

I love a good thriller and Lisa Unger did not disappoint! I loved all the twists and turns in this book. There were several different plot lines and one was not my favorite, but it was interesting to see it all come together. Thank you NetGalley for letting me read this book!

This was a very intriguing storyline. I loved and related to all of the different characters. Thank you to netgalley for this advanced copy.

Lisa Unger is my most favorite ever! I have read all her books and every single time she has a ne ebook I am out the door and buying it! This one was sooooo crazy good! She holds me captive lien I’m in a cabin lol! Can’t wait for others to go on this crazy ride like I did!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book. The subject matter sounded so interesting but unfortunately I think this book missed the mark. I found myself bored of it and sadly felt like it never picked up.

I enjoyed this one, a bit complicated at times. But ultimately a fun and suspenseful read with an isolated setting. Thanks Net Galley for the ARC!
