Initially I rolled my eyes a lot, yet another ridiculous premise for thriller where keeping a secret causes mental fatigue and stress in a marriage. After the wishy washy start it picked up and became a guessing game as to who was telling the truth- many twists and turns kept me guessing until the end.

Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and review this book.

Two couples meet on honeymoon and their lives are changed forever by what happens. Lots of secrets are uncovered and no one is who they seem.

This novel is an interesting thriller, but the book's first half seemed very slow to me with not enough clues to keep my attention. However, the second half was much better as more clues were gradually revealed and the last few chapters had so many answers which tied back to the beginning of the book which I thought was very satisfying to read.

I think the first half could have been improved by including the men's perspectives from the beginning as I was really missing that personally but overall I did like this book and the author's writing style a lot.

I would like to thank Kate Gray and the publishers for letting me read this book and discovering a new author!

The story starts in Bali where Mark and Sophia And Erin and Jamie are on honeymoon.
Strangers until the last night of the holiday when they decide to eat out at a swanky restaurant together before they fly home the next day - only between the meal and the flight home, a man ends up dead
This book wasn’t as predictable as I expected it to be and I didn’t predict the final ending but all 4 main characters were pretty unlikeable so it was hard to feel any empathy for any of them. Told from multiple points of view you get to slowly find out more about each character and the secrets they are hiding

Brilliant story keeping you hooked in from beginning to end. There are so many question marks over the whole story it leaves you wanting that bit more at the end....

A name to watch out for, Kate Grey's debut psychological thriller is a very good one!

I was confused for most of the book. But not in an "I don't know what's going on" kind of way, I was not sure who I could trust, who the 'bad' of the situation was, and whose recollection of the events was the correct one.

I didn't like any of the characters and I struggled a bit to emphasise with their motivations, but the twists and turns made up for it, especially in the last third of the book.

A gripping thriller to keep you company on these hot summer nights.

Thank you NetGalley and Welbeck for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I'm giving this a rare 5 star rating because it's an amazing read! The story is great, the pace brilliant and it's totally immersive. Suspicion twirls from one character to another and back again. I honestly didn't guess the ending until... the end.

The characters are believable; all have flaws and secrets of course, and they are not all nice or honest. I loved the pacing of this book - there was nothing superfluous and the story progressed with quite a few surprising 'reveals' appropriately placed throughout. The point of view alternated between Erin and Sophia until the very end, where we had a a couple of chapters from the husbands Jamie and Mark which tied up some loose ends, and treated us to a few more reveals.

Definitely a fabulous holiday read - but be prepared to ignore your family and friends for a day or two because you won't be able to put this down until you've finished it.

Oh my word. What a book. Kept me guessing right to the end. I thought I knew where it was going and I hadn’t a clue. Two couples meet while they’re both on honeymoon in Bali. Then there’s a tragic ‘accident’ which follows them back to the UK. Is everybody as they seem? Both couples have their secrets. I couldn’t stop reading it.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read 'The Honeymoon ' prior to publication.
As a lover of Thrillers I was hooked from first to last page with the twists and turns of the story. It really had a bit of everything, romance, drama and mystery.
A great read

This was such a good read, a gripping thriller with lots of twists and turns, keeping you wanting to read on...everytime you think you got it, another twist which makes you think again. I really enjoyed this book, would thoroughly recommend.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read 'The Honeymoon ' prior to publication. Although this is not Kate Gray's first book it is her first psychological thriller. As a lover of this genre I was gripped from first to last page with the clever twists and turns. Thoroughly recommend to all lovers of this genre.

I absolutely adored this book. Thought it was well written and a great read. Make a great book to read in your sun lounger. I loved it.

Fantastic read, the characters were relatable! A few twists and turns to keep you guessing right until the very end. I look forward to seeing the next book by this author.

This had me hooked from the beginning and I can't believe how many sub plots there were going on as well, never a dull moment in this "Honeymoon" romance./ drama / murder mystery. You are suspecting most of the characters from the beginning and the Author Kate even throws in a few red herrings along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I am looking forward to more novels from Kate Gray.

This is a well written light thriller and would be great for a holiday read. I found the main character slightly annoying and unbelievable which made it less enjoyable to read. The other characters however build well and develop into interesting storylines.

Lots of twists and turns in this thriller! I was slightly disappointed that everyone was back from honeymoon after only 20% of the book but there was a good plot.

Interesting premise and lots of twists and turns - but in the end it was just too many twists! Too many flawed characters with hidden motives - too unbelievable.

The Honeymoon is a psychological thriller about two couples who meet in Bali on their honeymoons - Mark & Sophia and Jamie & Erin. They all seem normal at the beginning but then something awful happens on their last night in Bali and it changes all their lives. When they all arrive back in England, it seems like things will never return to normal for either couple and things just seem to keep happening to them all - what secrets does each of them hide?

Sophia is a journalist who was let go from her job at the Sunday News for failing to come through with a breakthrough story about a prominent Tory MP and she takes a job at a local paper, which she feels is beneath her. But then she hears about a mysterious death in Bali and realises it happened near where they were staying so she starts to look into the story further. This leads her down a rabbit hole of twisted stories and lies from all those around her.

It's told from a dual POV - Erin and Sophia but at the end we get a couple of chapters from Jamie and Mark which ties everything up nicely and answers any lingering questions.

I am still recovering from the twists and turns this book took! In the beginning I wasn't too sure where the story was headed but by midway through I was completely hooked and I just had to finish it. I was also sure I knew what was going on but apparently I didn't! This book really kept me guessing and doubting myself the whole way along. The writing was excellent, and the dual POV was a great way to read the story and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a psychological thriller.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC.

This book started off slowly and I must admit to finding it a bit confusing. An OK read but not one that stands out for me
Thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC

This book was difficult for me, I had to force myself to pick it up and try to read it. I actually didn’t finish it. Unfortunately I wasn’t invested in the characters or the story from the beginning.

Thank you NetGalley for an ARC copy in return for an honest review 🖤
