Description
How Far Are You Willing to Go for Revenge?
Vanessa St. Clair is on top of her game and on top of the world. She has it all, a dazzling career, a fairytale romance, and a wedding day fast approaching. She’s pinching herself because she can’t believe how happy she is.
The daughter of billionaire Simon St. Clair, Vanessa has led a charmed life with the exception of one dark regret. Years ago, a tragic accident left a man dead, a friend imprisoned, and a terrible secret buried. Vanessa vowed never to speak of it again.
But secrets have a way of resurfacing.
Just days before her wedding, Vanessa receives an ominous note. Someone knows her secret—and they demand money—or promise death. After all, the dead man never had a choice.
As the blackmailer's demands grow more menacing, Vanessa is thrust into a chilling game of cat and mouse. The clock is ticking, and her once-perfect world begins to unravel. When the blackmailer finally forces her hand, tragedy will strike once again.
Will Vanessa get her happily ever after or will a stranger with a vendetta get their revenge?

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.

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.

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.

this was a thriller of so much depth. it went deeper and got in the feels all the way through. from start to finish. yep id definitely step this up to a top notch psychological thriller. it had me thinking, then re thinking, then wondering all the while ramping up the angst and intensity both for the main character and the plot.
things slowly unravel for our main character.
one decision a long time ago. one decision and split second reaction changed everything. and might be about to ruin everything.
its such a good portrayal from every level. because what would you do,what would the person out for revenge do. and what is right? what is morally right? and who are we backing here!?
i was so fearful for our main character. her life has started to unravel and shes trying so hard to keep it secret and keep things together.
there is mind control and manipulation going on here with a healthy does of shocking twists and turns along the way.
i was taken along, gripped through every page. its grabs you from the very first chapter when it sets the scene and then doesnt let you go until the end.
i thought it was only ever going to end one way. and i have to admit i didnt know what i felt about this. Right wrong...good bad...what happens when things are just grey. when things spiral when consequences become all that is left?
i was in a thoughts storm by the end of this. sooooo many things going round in my head.
a superb book. brilliant.
