Silent Vows is a masterfully woven psychological thriller that keeps readers on edge from start to finish. With an intricate plot centered around deception, revenge, and the weight of buried secrets, this novel delivers a compelling exploration of human nature at its most vulnerable—and its most dangerous.

The story kicks off with a tragic accident that results in a fatality, but what seems like a terrible misfortune soon spirals into something much darker. A single lie, told in the heat of the moment, becomes the catalyst for the downfall of a wealthy heiress. As she struggles to maintain control over the narrative, an embittered sibling—armed with a chillingly calculated plan—begins to dismantle her world piece by piece. Just when it seems the scales of justice (or vengeance) are settled, the final twist upends everything, leaving the reader reeling.

One of the novel’s greatest strengths is its psychological depth. The characters are richly developed, each driven by their own desires, fears, and moral compromises. The suspense builds steadily, with the author masterfully revealing just enough at each turn to keep the tension high. The writing is sharp, immersive, and laced with an undercurrent of unease that lingers long after the last page.

What makes Silent Vows truly stand out is its exploration of consequences—both intended and unintended. The way the lie unravels, the meticulous nature of the revenge plot, and the ultimate revelation at the end all come together in a way that feels both shocking and inevitable.

For fans of psychological thrillers that thrive on mind games, manipulation, and high-stakes drama, Silent Vows is a must-read. The twists are clever, the pacing relentless, and the conclusion deeply satisfying.

Definitely a good thriller, kept me on my toes and was a good read. Just when I thought I had it ALL figured out, there was a “twist” thrown into the story that I definitely was not expecting.

I just finish reading silent vows by CS Dodds and i must say it kept me on urge every time. The plot twists are insane. Even the ending was not something I saw coming.
I loved reading it and enjoyed every chapter.
Would recommend this book to anyone who loves a bit thriller, mystery and romance book.

This book is fast paced and very complete, with a satisfying conclusion tying up any loose ends or post script items. The main character is awful and it’s hard not to root for the blackmailers who torment her for much of the book. I enjoyed the many different potential perpetrators and how the author presented their perspectives and relationship to the main character,

Five stars, hands down. I was so entranced with this main character that I couldn't put this down without seeing what happens for her.
