What an engaging and mind spinning domestic thriller. It draws you right in and keeps you addicted the whole way through. My mind was filled with questions as I was reading along. There are so many twists and surprises along the way. Jaw dropping moments too that I didn’t see coming!

•First off, many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for the eARC in exchange for my honest review•

~Well that was pretty crazy! The book throws you head first into an epic dilemma… finding a winning lottery ticket and deciding whether or not to claim the money!

In my opinion the first half felt a bit of a drag. Some parts felt unnecessary to the storyline and some parts were heavily repetitive… be warned you’ll get sick of hearing about the MC going for a jog🤦🏼‍♀️ I didn’t find any of the characters relatable or likeable, without giving any spoilers… the MC is a huge push-over and it amazed me how she gets walked all over. This made it tricky to maintain my engagement with the book.

However, around the 75% mark, it soon picked up and secrets were spilling all over the place! Within the nice short chapters, there were many twists and some were very unpredictable and shocking! It made it a much more enjoyable read from then on.

Overall there’s a lot of potential in this book and I think many readers will enjoy the intricate details and suspenseful twists this book has to offer⭐️⭐️⭐️~

This isn't a bad thriller it follows Drew who has won the lottery but doesn't want to claim it as then her real identity would be revealed. It keeps you guessing to what actually happened in Drew's past. Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre for ARC

Wow! This book got me out of a slump! It was such a page turner that I ate this book up SO quickly. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Drew and Mark recently got married after both losing their spouse. They are building a new beginning together and Mark worships his new wife. Little does he know that his wife is keeping many many dark secrets from him… as well as hiding a winning lottery ticket! Not sure if I am toxic or what (LOL) but I kept rooting for Drew the entire book even with her dark secrets!

I do enjoy that the book has several different POV — mainly focusing on Drew though. I love how the book jumps from past to present day throughout the book. This gives us more insight on her past which led to her present actions. The book was an easy read with SO many twists. When I thought I had figured it out… I sure did not! Highly recommend! Thank you for the ARC Netgalley!

⭐ 4.5/5

I received an eARC of The New Marriage in exchange for an honest review, and I have to say, this book had me hooked from the first chapter!

This is the perfect read for those who love family drama packed with deep secrets and unexpected twists. Every chapter left me on edge, and just when I thought I had things figured out, another shocking revelation hit. The pacing is well done, and the suspense keeps building throughout.

L.G. Davis does an incredible job of weaving a gripping psychological thriller, though some details felt unnecessary and slowed the story down a bit. However, that didn’t take away from my overall enjoyment. The writing is engaging, and the tension is just right.

If you love thrillers with shocking twists and hidden secrets, The New Marriage is definitely worth adding to your TBR!

Thank you Netgalley.

Rounded to 2.5 stars for plot twist

I typically put myself in each character when reading (what would I do? How would I react?) and I could not relate to the MFC. While Drew had her own secrets, I could not comprehend how she was such a push over to her sister in law. Coming into my house unannounced because you have a key? Absolutely not. Passive aggressive remarks? Nope. And if my husband wouldn’t take my side, there’s another problem. Not one character was like able, and I found I didn’t have anyone to root for, The first chapter had me hooked, and it was a fast paced, quick afternoon read. Without giving a spoiler, I was happy how the story played out,

L.G. Davis is such an underrated author. This is the perfect book for those who love family drama and secrets. It starts off on the slower side but it does pick up. It’s full of twists you won’t see coming. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you to NetGalley for my eARc in exchange for my honest review!

Oh my GOSH!! I was gonna be generous and give 4 stars because the story had me hooked the whole time and it was pretty good. BUT THEN!!! THEN those last 2 plot twists?! NO WAY!!! They changed my feeling about the whole thing because WHAT?! I will be recommending IMMEDIATELY to the psychological thriller group I’m in on Facebook!

This was an absolute mindblowing books. I was on the edge of my seat through the book. Didn't see that ending.

First things first, thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the ARC!

I think this is my first book by L.G. Davis and a really good and twisty thriller! Marc and Drew seem like a happily married couple who have been lucky that life ghave them a second chance after punching them into the guts. But both of them do have secrets, and those might destroy both of them.

It was a wild ride - I myself could never deal with keeping huge secrets from my partner - and the story kept my clued to the pages! Highly recommended, go and read it when you have the chance!

Drew Reynolds is a recently remarried widow who has found true love 4 years after the tragic death of her high school sweetheart. After both suffering a horrible loss, Mark and Drew bond over both being widowed at a very young age and fall head over heels for each other. What could possibly go wrong?
Not one time during this book could I predict what was going to happen. As soon as you think you know which direction this book is going, it makes a hard left and takes you on a roller coaster ride. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of unpredictable plot lines and suspenseful psychological whirlwinds. It will not disappoint.

I loved everything about this book. The new marriage by L.G. Davis was pure domestic suspense at its finest. Secrets, lies, and family drama, this one has it all and then some. I couldn't stop thinking about the plot as I was carrying on with my day. I could not wait to come back to it in the evening. Page after page of tension filled family drama but also a grappling of inner conscience and doing the right thing.

Drew and Mark have been married for a few short years and appear to be happy. However, Mark's sister Sarah is outraged at their union. Mark's first wife Melody was Sarah's best friend and died tragically. There's something about Drew that doesn't sit right with her and she vows to dig deep and uncover whatever secrets Drew is hiding.

The chapters moved quickly and were told through several perspectives. It's told mostly in the present, with a few chapters of the past scattered throughout. The surprises kept coming, each one twistier than the last. The ending was "chef's kiss"

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for the advanced copy

This psychological thriller delves into the complexities of relationships. Marc and Drew, marriage begins unfolding, secrets and hidden truths begin to arise, leading to a series of unexpected & gripping twists. Wish it ended better with the epilogue, though, but good read!

First of all shout out to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this before the release date.

This book starts off with a bang and keeps you turning the page. Drew wins the lottery so now I’m invested in what’s going to happen with the money and then you find out she’s married to Mark whose wife died a couple years ago. Now you’re thinking hmmm how does this connect? Well you’ll find out but I feel as if it takes to long to get there and there’s a lot of fluff in between. However, there is a shock factor in the middle that I did not see coming. I did however guess the ending.

If you need a quick domestic thriller this is the book for you! If you like a more thought out in depth read, skip it.

This book was fast paced and had me wanting to know what all the secrets were and what would happen. However, so much was making me mad- why the main character didn’t take some simple precautions like changing the locks on her house etc. the whole book banked on everyone being stupid and careless
