I really enjoyed this book, it was my first ever book by this author. I will definitely be reading more of her books.

The crazy wild ride, the enablers, the mystery, and the all around amazing story line has me sucked right in.

I thoroughly enjoyed this locked room-type mystery. At first, I thought it would be rather predictable but it wasn't at all and it took me till the end of the book to guess what might happen. I enjoyed the fact the story is told from multiple points of view and the inclusion of sperm donor children and how they may be related was an interesting twist. The book delves into issues of inherited traits, who we are, how we behave and whether this can be controlled. It was a very interesting read and I have purchased it for my subscription book club.

I must admit I don't usually read locked room thrillers as I find they are often very predictable, but I was generally engaged for the entirety, even though it was slow in parts and I did enjoy how the story came together from the multiple viewpoints at the end. The story was intricately woven and it was interesting to read about the DNA testing element.

However, a couple of negatives for me were that there were too many points of view, it was almost hard to keep track at points, I felt that some of them were completely unnecessary and the characters were very superficial and I only found myself warming to one of them.. who wasn't even part of the 'main' story.

Overall, the book is worth a read, but I can't say I'm raving about it.

What can be more relaxing than a luxurious getaway at a secluded cabin/mansion with your family and friends? Hannah, her husband Bruce, her brother Mako, his wife Liza, their best friend Cricket and her new mystery boyfriend are on a weekend getaway in Georgia. If the men can stay away from work long enough they should all have a relaxing time. When they meet the owner of the cabin, he seems a little too present. Then their chef tells them about a ghost story that happened in the cabin. A storm rolls in and after that, everything goes off the rails. Everyone seems to have a secret and not only is their relaxing weekend in danger, but so are they
.
This book has multiple POVs, someone out for revenge, all of the secrets, past and present timelines, so basically everything. It really keeps your interest because you only get little bits of everyone’s secret. You know this weekend is doomed but don’t know exactly what’s happening until it’s right there. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, but it was pretty easy to do, especially when their storylines intersected. You have the typical characters you hate, the ones you love and the ones that are just meh. Some parts of the book were predictable, but the big parts really weren’t, which kept my interest. I did not see the ending happening as it did. Overall, a great read that I was able to read in one long drive and kept my interest

I read this book in two days. I love Lisa Unger books and this one did not disappoint. From the beginning of the book I was hooked and up reading until way too late in the night. I really liked how she developed all of the characters and how they all intertwined. Bracken was creepy and gave me the shivers from the beginning of the book. Why he would have bone sculptures out is disgusting! Great read for all those who like suspense novels.

WOW – This book was a page turner. This was my first novel I’ve read by Lisa Unger, although I do have a bunch on my shelf, and will be picking up another of hers soon. Her writing style reminds me of Harlan Coben – with the multiple POV and timelines that all seem separate until the last few chapters where it all makes sense. There were a lot of characters which took me a bit to keep straight, but each POV and time lines is clearly marked.
I enjoyed the secluded location, characters were well developed. The plot was engaging. The ending closed the stories well.

Not a fan of this one. I found it hard to follow and didn't like the characters. Plot was confusing and unbelievable.

This is more of the building of suspension to a story instead of a roller coaster. Some characters are fully developed, and some blend into the background. I thought Cat was a different type of character, negative, and yet I root for her. There is a certain vigilante aspect to Cat. I love it. I still don't get the point of Henry's childhood story. I felt like that was more of a side story than weaved into the main story. The ending was somewhat predictable but still very good.

Thank you to Legend Press and NetGalley for letting me read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This started off a bit slow but once it got going the omg! It doesn't half go! There are so many characters and plot threats and twists and turns that are all interwoven. It's the kind if book that you really need to focus on in order to enjoy it. If you skim it then you'll miss too many things because there is just so much going on! I did feel there were a few random tangents rhat didn't go anywhere but I was absolutely hooked and so confused that I needed to get to the end to finally find out what's happened. Its very cleverly written and certainly has bn well thought out. Definitely one to get lost in in these cold dark nights

First off, thank you so much to #Netgalley, the publisher and especially the author for this ARC!

Lisa Unger does it again! This book was so fun, I sat down and read it in one day without intending to! I will say it’s a little slow to start but the ending is fantastic!

I received this book early from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this one since the reviews seemed to be mixed but I know not everyone likes the same kind of books.
This book had me enthralled to the end and definitely lots of guessing. It alternates between characters and dates. It’s exciting and kept me anxious to read more. Not gonna lie I definitely didn’t figure it out, it’s a murder mystery and keep me turning the pages and reading late into the early morning!
Lisa Unger did it again, be sure and grab a copy of Secluded Cabin sleeps six on publication day November 8,2022!!!

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is about 3 couples that heads to a secluded cabin for a luxurious vacation. However, their lives are not as picture perfect as they seem at first. The story has flashbacks that made me dying to know how the different stories fit together. Hannah is the character I related to the most with how protective she is of her family. I really enjoyed the mystery and while there were some twists I saw coming, there were still others that were a shock.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery with many secrets between family and friends that keeps you guessing who is trustworthy and who is lying.

I received a free copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.

I really enjoyed Lisa Unger’s Confessions on the 7:45 and Last Girl Ghosted, but Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was just not at the same level. The premise of the story is good, but almost all of the characters were really hard to like and the chapters jumping back and forth in time and alternating between the main characters didn’t flow as smoothly as they should have and became difficult to track. Mako owns a video game company and wants to share his success by inviting his younger sister Hannah and her husband Bruce and family friend Cricket and her boyfriend Joshua to join him and his wife Liza for a weekend of relaxation at a secluded luxury cabin with a personal chef. It all sounds great, but of course everyone has secrets and the weekend becomes a disaster when a terrible storm hits and the power goes out. The storm isn’t even their biggest problem, there are other dangers lurking that could have deadly consequences. I really like Lisa Unger’s writing, but this book was disappointing. Thanks to #netgalley and #parkrow for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think this was just fine. There was a LOT going on, in my opinion to the detriment of the story. The plot didn’t feel tight enough and the characters were annoying and beyond frustrating. Though the writing style was suspenseful & I was interested in the beginning, I feel like I’ll forget this one in a couple weeks. Also… not really a locked room mystery.

So. Much. Yes. This was an amazing read, with so many twists and turns I LOVED. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end, and absolutely loved the different point of views and timeline of this story. This is a must read when it is released in February!

While there were certainly some redeeming aspects of this book, I did not love it. I couldn’t connect or find common ground with any of the characters. There were many story threads being woven, and some seemed unnecessary while others were left unresolved. This one just wasn’t for me, but that doesn’t mean others won’t be completely satisfied!

Interesting story of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, will keep you guessing until the end. This was my first book by this author, will definitely look for more books by her.

Although the idea and plot of the book was intriguing I found it a little complicated at times with all the character. I would give it 3.5 but close to a 4.

This was a book I didn't even know I needed to read but was exactly the right read for my mood right now . 🖤

It wasn't perfect but I'm giving it a 5 ⭐ rating because it held my interest, was very entertaining,& was one of those books you look forward to reading for fun not just to finish.
It has a lot of factors going on but everything u need for a good time :
•creepy isolated cabin
•peeps doing DNA tests
•3 couples ( I mean ... 🙃)
• storm coming in
•a peeping Tom 👀

All that ^ = a dysfunctional read & I'm here for it !
I would also like to give a special shout out to the creepy boo one sculpture in the cabin.. WHATT was that about ?? && I also want to know what every one of the 50 items Bracken owns is .. because that's insane !

Thank you Park Row for the Arc ❤️

I want expecting much from this book because I’d never heard of the author before. But I got this as an ARC and the title alone intrigued me.

The book started to introduce characters and instantly I thought it would suck because the names. They weren’t off the wall and not normal. But I trudged on. Pretty quickly tho I was enthralled. I “just one more chapter”ed myself to death. I had to know how everyone linked together.

So this is two running time lines. Multiple characters. Who done it kind of story. And the whole time you’re trying to piece it together paying attention to every little detail you can. I didn’t guess it. I loved the character development and different points of views. I felt like the author didn’t give us everything we wanted in a pretty bow, which is great to me. Lots of good details. Kinda creepy read perfect for October. When I read it.

Overall I highly recommend this suspense mystery book!
