Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a lock-in thriller set in an isolated holiday home in Sleepy Ridge, Utah.

A perfect luxury cabin promising an enticing retreat welcomes three not-so-perfect couples hiding behind their wealth, secrets and lies. With a great storm on the way and a suspicious holiday host watching their every move, who will make it out alive?

When Mako books a luxury stay at Elegant Overlook for his wife Liza, his sister Hannah, her friend Cricket and their partners Bruce and Joshua, they expect nothing less than the perfect getaway from work and life. While their phone service is poor and their WiFi is weak, their chef-cooked meal is rich and the drinks are strong.
When the storm hits, fallen trees block the roads and the cabin’s power generator is cut. What’s more, Liza is missing, Joshua has disappeared and there’s trouble lurking in the shadows …

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a gripping thriller full of mystery and suspense. With red herrings and plenty of twists and turns, you won’t sleep until you’ve finished the book.

Running parallel to the narrative is a side-plot of a half-siblings investigating their ancestry, their efforts made easier over time thanks to DNA testing kits and growing databases. While it’s an interesting subject, its link to the main story is somewhat weak and the thriller would have worked better if it explored more into Mako’s narcissistic, over-privileged past mistakes.

If you like feeling you are on a runaway train filled with horror, shock, fear, suspense, and disbelief this fast-paced mystery is for you. What a whirlwind of emotions as you are pulled through one drama-filled day and night! Lisa Unger did a great job of building suspense and delivering blow after blow after blow.

Thanks to NetGalley and Legend Press for the opportunity to read this thrilling ARC.

I love an isolated setting books. This is my first Lisa Unger book, and I was anticipating great things, but this book fell flat for me. There were too many characters and POVs, and the characters weren't likeable either. The book also goes back and forth in the past to the present. So, it's a lot to understand. Additionally, make sure you check trigger warnings. There is some dark topics mentioned, and the author didn't include a trigger warning list. I did enjoy the isolated cabin setting, and the author did a great job describing the setting. Overall, an okay read. I would not read it again.

I had such high hopes for this book. It starts with a disfunctional family vacationing in a cabin. Creepy wierd things happening. I found it hard to keep all the characters and felt like i struggled to finish.

you know when you are reading a book and you genuinely can't wait to see this adapted to the big screen? thats exactly how i feel- this was WILD, twisty and kept me saying''HOW DOES SOMEONE THINK OF THIS!'. i am manifesting for this to eventually grace my screens one day :) thanks netgalley & the publisher for the ARC, in exchange for an honest review!

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a thrilling multi-layered mystery! Three couples vacation together at a luxurious remote cabin. Unfortunately, a storm comes and with it, buried family secrets come to light. It will keep you guessing until the end. It is definitely a quick, twisty read!

I was so looking forward to reading Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six and Lisa Unger did not disappoint! I was a little confused with all of the characters at first, but I promise it all comes together and makes sense. Hang in there it is worth it! You will love this book!
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers

Once again Lisa Unger tells a masterful tale of suspense and mystery. Secluded cabin, no wifi, lots and lots of secrets make for a chilling and captivating story that I couldn't stop reading.

Lisa Unger is a master storyteller and I look forward to reading all of her books!!!

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC.

This book had so many characters. That’s the first thing that others have said and I have to echo it. It was sometimes hard to keep track.

Families have secrets, and this one was no exception of course. But I did struggle with the secret keeping one character did for another. Just took the wind out of my dailies about the book.

I think the premise of this all coming out in a locked room style trope was very interesting. The read was very atmospheric.

"People always say that you can't choose your family. But that's not always true. We do choose. And from those choices we build a life."

This was an intricate, twisty, and deeply creepy psychological thriller that was difficult to put down once I picked it up! I love locked room mysteries, and Lisa Unger did a great job weaving past and present to bulk this one up into something entirely unique and truly thrilling. The pacing was great, the twist wasn't easy to predict, and it shone a spotlight on some of our deepest fears (how well do we really know the people we love? How much does it matter where we came from? Do ancestry programs do more harm than good? Are places alone haunted by the past, or are people, too?)

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for this advanced copy. I enjoyed her last two books. but this book felt like the last ten I have read with the same theme. They all run together and it's just not a theme I'm willing to read anymore. I skimmed it. It was ok.

This topic is way overdone. Every time you turn around there is a book about friends going to some secluded place for vacation and one of them is a killer. I couldn't get into it. Too overdone.

3.5 stars - I actually read something before release date! I really enjoy locked-room mysteries, and I've been wanting to read a book by Lisa Unger, so I started reading Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six as soon as possible. I read it fairly quickly, and thought the main element behind the story was interesting, but it left me wanting more. There were many characters who each had their own secrets, and one narrative that felt quite random and didn't add much to the plot. Overall, it was an entertaining read but I wanted more tense and creepy moments.

Thank you to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley!

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is about three couples that rent a cabin in a secluded area. The narrative shifts between different characters and I felt that it took too long to get going and wasn't able to hold my attention. I had to mark this one DNF unfortunately.

Thank you Netgalley, Legend Press, and Lisa Unger for allowing me to read an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six for an honest review.

I have had Lisa Unger on my TBR author list for a while. So obviously, I was very excited and grateful to be selected to read and review this book.

Overall, this is a good book but simultaneously it was very hit or miss for me. The beginning was slow and steady with the build up for a great intro to two interlocking stories. The middle of the book lost my interest but it piqued again about 75% of the way through. The interlocking stories and large number of character voices kept me confused at times although I do feel like the end of the book wrapped up the interlocking stories neatly.

The setting for the book mostly takes place at a remote luxury cabin in the woods which sets up the story to be an eerie and creepy thriller. However, I feel like the setting ends up being one of disfunction and family turmoil that includes drinking, drugs, and flashbacks to alleged sexual assault.

Three couples (Mako and his wife Liza, Hannah and her husband Bruce, and Cricket and her new boyfriend Josh) plan a getaway at a secluded luxury cabin with a highly rated rental host, a private chef, hot tub, the whole works. They are very much looking forward to catching up and relaxing together. Mako and Hannah are siblings. Cricket is Hannah’s best friend and Mako’s ex-girlfriend.

The December prior to the trip, someone drops off packages for Hannah and Mako containing DNA kits. The kits are labeled from Santa and their family members swear that they know nothing about the gifts. Hannah throws her test in the trash but Mako submits his. Who is Santa?

On the drive to the cabin, the couples learn about killings that have taken place in the woods and the ghosts/spirits that are seen haunting the land. They become skeptical of the property host (who is spying on them with cameras planted throughout the rental).

The true skepticism should be placed with knowing who your family is and how you identify and define family - whether by blood or choice. Family values change and unravel as does the judgment and acceptance of past decisions and actions.

Regardless of how the characters define family, the pre-existing alliances must work together to defend one another and make it home safely.

I plan to give Lisa Unger’s additional works a whirl moving forward!

I loved this secluded cabin setting.

At first it took awhile to understand as there were alot of characters and each one are different.

They were all not nice people except maybe for 2 of them but I wouldn’t say they were completely good either, but I was interested enough to keep reading about them.

Surprisingly, this book isn’t at all what I thought it would be and I’m glad I went in blind and would recommend that others do too.

It’s a super enjoyable thriller and I got through it in one sitting.

Highly recommend

I have read other books by this author and enjoyed them. However , I saw a trigger of animal abuse and did not even start the book. I received an advance copy from Net Galley and I apologize for not being able to read it.

This book I thought was a little slow at the beginning. You really had to pay attention cause it jumps around alot.from character to character. It was hard to keep track.

I heard alot of good things about this book so that's why I wanted to read it.

Thank you net gallery for giving me this opportunity to read it.

Creepy setting and lots of buried issues in this mix of characters!!

There are quite a variety of characters and the storyline bounces from past to present so pay attention, lest you may lose track easily. The lack of internet connection, the imminent major storm, and the creepy cabin owner and to the anxiety of the motley crew of family on this “vacation/getaway.”

I give this one a solid four and will add that it could have been a five had the characters been a little more developed and not so much left for the imagination.

Thanks to the publisher for the advanced access to this ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I am a sucker for a locked-room mystery and Unger's Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six didn't disappoint. My momma-bear heart truly felt for Hannah and the fear she experienced. As a reader, I was constantly weighing the sins of the victims against their actions and consequences.
I loved the setting of the remote mountains. Beautiful to the eye but deadly when it came to unpredictable weather and remote access. The mixture of likable and unlikable characters was also gripping. My favorite part was how Henry's story tied in with all the other characters. His childlike innocence and Hannah's motherly fierceness were so relatable.
