I was absolutely gripped by this book that is full of twists and turns and just a really immersive plot! Thank you to Netgalleyand the publisher for allowing me early access to this title

I was so excited to hear Katie was going to write something new and a thriller none the less! I love a good thriller and this debut from Kate Gray did not disappoint. I loved the build up, the slower pace before things started to unravel and rocket towards an ending. The multiple POV really worked, as it made the narration unreliable, I had no idea who to trust and my allegiance changed so many times. I can't wait to see what Kate does next.
Thank you for letting me read and review this title Kate and Netgalley!

This was a great read. Short chapters that I kept thinking "just one more", great plot, great characters with twists and turns. It kept me guessing to the end.

A psychological thriller about two newly wedded couples, who meet in Bali whilst on their honeymoons. They strike up a friendship, and on the last evening, head out for a meal together. They were having a great time until an incident occurs which marrs the end of the meal, and the couples go their separate ways for the remainder of the night. What happens next has long lasting effects upon all their lives, and all four people regret chosing Bali for their honeymoon.
This book had me guessing the outcome right up until the end, and I just couldn't put it down!
A great story full of mind games, and with a cast of well written characters. A1

I struggled with this book slightly. I couldn’t relate to any of the main characters and found it very repetitive.

A psychological thriller that is full of twists and turns.

This was the perfect holiday read. It pulled me in from the start and had me hooked until the end.

All in all an enjoyable thriller! The pacing was generally good, keeping me engaged from start to finish

I dunnot about this book, very much in the middle of the road for me, it was quite predictable and too many narrators and time spent on things that weren't relevant or did not move the plot along. did not connect with the characters or very much cared about them which is quite key when reading a novel like this...

The Honeymoon is a thriller that takes place during and after a honeymoon between a new couple. What unfolds afterwards will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I just couldn't put this book down. At no point during any of it did I know what would happen next. I enjoyed guessing what the next plot twist would be, but I was kept surprised through most of the book. The ending was satisfying, as I find this is sometimes lacking in other thrillers. I am planning on reading more by this author since discovering this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Welbeck Publishing for providing me with a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Honeymoon is a great psychological thriller that I couldn't put down.
We start with two couples on their last night of their honeymoon both go different ways at the end of the night. Back home and each couple finds out a man was killed in the storm on the last night. Both have very different reasons to keep up to date with the proceedings for very different reasons.
I'm not going to go into the storyline of this book as I feel there are that many twists I will definitely spoil it for you. The characters were well developed and the storyline was very well written. Take it from me this is a decent read that you will definitely enjoy.
would like to thank Netgalley and Wellbeck Publishing UK for this ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

This novel grabs the reader from the beginning with its talke of two couples who meet on Honeymoon and decide to go to an expensive fancy restaurant on the last night of their break. By the end of the evening there is a dead man - wa he murdered or was it an accident. the couples are very different, there is Sophie and Mark and then Erin and Jamie. In the beautiful Bali there are also illegal gambling going on and everyone has a back story they don't want to share. the novel sped along with the short chapters and was the sort of book that you couldn't put down with its twists and turns. Without disclosing how it is resolved,the reader is literally on the edge of one's seat awiting the finale.

What an excellent twisty-turny read. There is so much more to this book than you'd expect.
Two couples meet on the last day of their honeymoon in idyllic Bali and decide to spend their last night together. By the end of the evening, a person has died, suspicions are rife and no one’s life will ever be the same again. As the plot unfolds you find out more and more about these four characters revealing shock after shock, until you've no idea who to believe and just when you think you've got it sussed, bang! a brilliant final twist.

Wow….if I would recommend one book for this year this would be it.

Two couples on honeymoon; an altercation with a man whilst they are enjoying a final meal. A man falls to his death and one couple are there. But who is responsible.

Tense, thriller. Things are not what they seem. You are drawn into the lives of both couples with secrets, and then a race to discover the truth. As the truth comes out, you are still left wondering, and then a perfect final twist.

There's something about Jamie that I found quite toxic - something that just niggled at me everytime he appeared in the story.

I felt sorry for Erin, constantly on her toes and quite obviously not happy in life. She clearly idolised and envied Sophia. But was also so desperate for her friendship.

Halfway though the book I started thinking it felt like another holiday murder thriller. But...along came 2 massive twists that I was not expecting which turned the story on its head. In the end I loved the book and I can't wait to see what the author does next!.

This book is about two couples, Sophia and Mark and Erin and Jamie that meet when they are on their honeymoon. While they are there a man dies who all of them have met very briefly, are any of them involved in his death? Lots of twists in this book and a very unexpected ending. I enjoyed it very much. Will definitely read more books by this author.

Oooh this was good ! I was immediately hooked and it was perfect for my summer holiday- I loved how it started and then there were twists and surprises littered throughout . I didn't have clue how it would end as I can never guess what is going to happen. There are lots of secrets and lies to the story and the characters in my opinion aren't very nice ! I loved second guessing and got it wrong everytime. This is a great thriller and don't think you would be disappointed in it!

Two couples meet and dine together on the last night of their honeymoons in Bali. In the storm that follows, a man falls to his death. But who was responsible?

I was slightly disappointed in The Honeymoon, as I had been looking forward to reading it. However I found it quite difficult to get into, as the action kept flitting about from character to character which made it harder to explore the characters themselves. It’s a book that just about makes it worth persevering to the end, with some delightful twists and unexpected surprises as the climax is reached, but I fear many won’t get that far.

I haven’t awarded a book 5 ⭐️ in months but this one well and truly deserved them. Stories within stories can easily become confusing but this author manages them with aplomb. The characters are all thorough developed, believable and engaging. The plot steams along with plot line after plot line keeping the reader thoroughly engaged. Obviously there are characters you’ll like and some you may hate and whilst there are few technical details about the death the strength of writing and characterisation more than make up for this.
There does I think, need to be a trigger warning about domestic abuse. However in some ways that may spoil the book for some. The gaslighting is particularly well described and it may make some readers begin to look at their own relationships differently, which can only be a good thing.
An amazing debut novel and I look forward to reading more from this author.
With thanks to netgalley, the publishers and author for my ARC in return for my personal, honest review.

Two women, both on honeymoon, meet pool-side in a Bali hotel. They get chatting and end up with a dinner date for themselves and their respective husbands at the Blue Fin restaurant later that evening. It's the last night of the holidays for all of them, and it seems a nice idea to spend some time with like-minded people. But the evening ends on a sour note - more so for one of the couples who find themselves with a bit of a dilemma.

This book packs a shocking opening scenario, and with the chapters coming short and sharp throughout, the reader is bombarded with information and question marks about the respectability of all those involved. Emotional wedges are driven between Erin and James before they've even left the island, but why are Sophia and Mark so keen to keep in touch once they're back in the UK? None of the characters is at all likeable and you will switch allegiance multiple times along the way as information about the characters filters down the pages.

This would make a decent page-turner of a beach read (if ever we get a summer!) and I don't think you're likely to guess the conclusion of the story - I mean, it's not the biggest curveball ever, but it had sufficient intrigue as I didn't entirely work out where the story was heading.

The Honeymoon was a complete page turner full of twists and turns. It kept me gripped from beginning to end and I was highly satisfied with the ending.
