Full of twists, unlikable characters and coincidence's and a stunning setting. Not a book you will be able to out down easily. I just kept wanting to read one more chapter, then another one....it's that sort of book. It is a cracker of a read.
Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for the eARC.
This light, frothy book is full of unlikeable characters who are all hiding unsavoury secrets and have surprising ties to each other. All of them are also on their honeymoons on the island of Bali.
The secrets are teased out slowly and members are killed one by one.
It's a good beach read (or, as in my case, a good snowstorm read) that I enjoyed a lot, hard to put down!
Suspend your disbelief and fasten your seat belt as you jet off to Bali! Three newlywed couples arrive in the same resort for their honeymoons and they are gradually all revealed to have connections to each from the past, secrets they would prefer to stay hidden, and their own selfish agendas. Enough to kill for? Absolutely!
I'm not going to say any more than that, but if you've read any of Jane E. James' other incredible thrillers, you'll know that it won't end well for all of them and it definitely won't end as you expect it to, with some epic twists dropped on you from a great height!
5 ⭐️ Thanks to Netgalley, Jane E. James and Joffe for an ARC in return for an honest review.
If you’re in the mood for a good thriller, check out The Honeymoon by Jane James. It’s a great book.
I loved this book! I liked the 3 perspectives that it was told from. Once I started, I didn't want to put it down. It seemed like there was a "secret" in every chapter or so, which made it a quick page turner wanting more. I love when all the characters' stories intertwine someway. And the ending.....didn't see that coming.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Thank you NetGalley and Joffe Books for an early copy of The Honeymoon. The cover is FANTASTIC, caught my eye immediately. A very good read but also not believable with all the ties the couples had to one another. No matter, it kept my interest anyway and the ending was amazing! I felt as if I was in Bali with all of them, thank you again.
WOW!
I am snowed in and this book was perfect for my situation.
Bali was a fabulous escape from the cold and what was supposed to be a romantic getaway turned into something quite different,
3 loving couples are celebrating their weddings by honeymooning in the sun. Some of these people have met before and when some end up dead we all wonder what and why.
This is a thriller with shocks, twists and lots of drama. It is brilliantly written and such an amazing read,
Three couples go to Bali to celebrate their honeymoon. Some of these people have been there before, and some of these people have met before. People start making threats, people start dying; what is the main motivation here to killing people? Who has that big of a grudge to kill? Some twists I did not see coming, but overall, I think it ran a little long.
I devoured this book as I didn’t want to put it down... the plot twists had me shocked! It truly made me stay on the edge of my seat.
The author hits you left and right with twist after twist I really like this authors writing style. I truly loved how this played out it was remarkable!
I loved the Bali setting only wish I was there reading it! I’d highly recommend this book.

Who doesn’t love a vacation-gone-wrong story? In The Honeymoon by Jane E. James, we meet three very different couples honeymooning in Bali, ready to start their new lives—but instead, their dreams turn into nightmares.
Timothy and Jonah: wealthy house flippers with a young adopted son, hiding cracks beneath their picture-perfect exterior.
Nathan and Sam: a mismatched pair, trapped in an abusive relationship, with Sam desperately hoping a baby will fix it all.
Bartosz and Angelika: a chef and a former sex worker, truly in love and seemingly the only pair with a real shot at happiness.
By a twist of fate, their paths collide in an intricate web of secrets: hidden deaths, children given up for adoption, and dark truths that refuse to stay buried. As time passes and tensions rise, the unthinkable happens—people start dying.
Who will unravel the mystery, and who will make it out of Bali alive?
A gripping tale of love, lies, and survival, The Honeymoon will leave you breathless until the very last page.

This was very entertaining from beginning to end. Multiple couples on a honeymoon in Bali. Beautiful Bali what could/would go wrong?
Three newlywed couples arrive on Bali’s Honeymoon Island, expecting two weeks of bliss. It’s a five star luxury all inclusive experience. White beaches, endless cocktails, and Instagram perfect moments await. But beneath the tropical paradise, dark secrets threaten to ruin everything! Wow!! Some much going on!!! There was a lot of murders, suspense, mystery, intrigue, fantastic characters, plenty of really juicy secrets, a bunch of who done it and tons of wild twists and turns! The story was very interesting! So much going on it was almost hard to figure out who was stabbing who in the back!! But it was a fantastic read! I highly recommend reading this one! Thank you NetGalley and Joffe books, my favorite! For sharing this book with me!
Three couples go on their honeymoon in Bali. One couple brings their adopted son, whose mother is also on the trip. A couple of them have ties to this island and secrets they don’t want coming to light. I was drawn to this book for the beach theme, however it did seem to drag on a little bit to me. I did read it all at once though and that may have been the issue. Some good twists and suspense. Shocking ending!
