Not a fan of this one. I found it hard to follow and didn't like the characters. Plot was confusing and unbelievable.

This is more of the building of suspension to a story instead of a roller coaster. Some characters are fully developed, and some blend into the background. I thought Cat was a different type of character, negative, and yet I root for her. There is a certain vigilante aspect to Cat. I love it. I still don't get the point of Henry's childhood story. I felt like that was more of a side story than weaved into the main story. The ending was somewhat predictable but still very good.

Thank you to Legend Press and NetGalley for letting me read this eARC in exchange for an honest review.

This started off a bit slow but once it got going the omg! It doesn't half go! There are so many characters and plot threats and twists and turns that are all interwoven. It's the kind if book that you really need to focus on in order to enjoy it. If you skim it then you'll miss too many things because there is just so much going on! I did feel there were a few random tangents rhat didn't go anywhere but I was absolutely hooked and so confused that I needed to get to the end to finally find out what's happened. Its very cleverly written and certainly has bn well thought out. Definitely one to get lost in in these cold dark nights

First off, thank you so much to #Netgalley, the publisher and especially the author for this ARC!

Lisa Unger does it again! This book was so fun, I sat down and read it in one day without intending to! I will say it’s a little slow to start but the ending is fantastic!

Secluded cabin sleeps six
By Lisa unger
I received this book early from NetGalley in exchange for a honest review.
I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this one since the reviews seemed to be mixed but I know not everyone likes the same kind of books.
This book had me enthralled to the end and definitely lots of guessing. It alternates between characters and dates. It’s exciting and kept me anxious to read more. Not gonna lie I definitely didn’t figure it out, it’s a murder mystery and keep me turning the pages and reading late into the early morning!
Lisa Unger did it again, be sure and grab a copy of Secluded Cabin sleeps six on publication day November 8,2022!!!

Writing: 5/5
Character Development: 4/5
Dark Themes: 2/5

Warnings: Talk of assult, Language

POV: Multiple

Themes: Mystery, Thriller

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is about 3 couples that heads to a secluded cabin for a luxurious vacation. However, their lives are not as picture perfect as they seem at first. The story has flashbacks that made me dying to know how the different stories fit together. Hannah is the character I related to the most with how protective she is of her family. I really enjoyed the mystery and while there were some twists I saw coming, there were still others that were a shock.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a mystery with many secrets between family and friends that keeps you guessing who is trustworthy and who is lying.

I received a free copy of this book and am leaving an honest review.

I really enjoyed Lisa Unger’s Confessions on the 7:45 and Last Girl Ghosted, but Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was just not at the same level. The premise of the story is good, but almost all of the characters were really hard to like and the chapters jumping back and forth in time and alternating between the main characters didn’t flow as smoothly as they should have and became difficult to track. Mako owns a video game company and wants to share his success by inviting his younger sister Hannah and her husband Bruce and family friend Cricket and her boyfriend Joshua to join him and his wife Liza for a weekend of relaxation at a secluded luxury cabin with a personal chef. It all sounds great, but of course everyone has secrets and the weekend becomes a disaster when a terrible storm hits and the power goes out. The storm isn’t even their biggest problem, there are other dangers lurking that could have deadly consequences. I really like Lisa Unger’s writing, but this book was disappointing. Thanks to #netgalley and #parkrow for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I think this was just fine. There was a LOT going on, in my opinion to the detriment of the story. The plot didn’t feel tight enough and the characters were annoying and beyond frustrating. Though the writing style was suspenseful & I was interested in the beginning, I feel like I’ll forget this one in a couple weeks. Also… not really a locked room mystery.

So. Much. Yes. This was an amazing read, with so many twists and turns I LOVED. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end, and absolutely loved the different point of views and timeline of this story. This is a must read when it is released in February!

While there were certainly some redeeming aspects of this book, I did not love it. I couldn’t connect or find common ground with any of the characters. There were many story threads being woven, and some seemed unnecessary while others were left unresolved. This one just wasn’t for me, but that doesn’t mean others won’t be completely satisfied!

Interesting story of friends who go to a cabin in the woods, will keep you guessing until the end. This was my first book by this author, will definitely look for more books by her.

Although the idea and plot of the book was intriguing I found it a little complicated at times with all the character. I would give it 3.5 but close to a 4.

This was a book I didn't even know I needed to read but was exactly the right read for my mood right now . 🖤

It wasn't perfect but I'm giving it a 5 ⭐ rating because it held my interest, was very entertaining,& was one of those books you look forward to reading for fun not just to finish.
It has a lot of factors going on but everything u need for a good time :
•creepy isolated cabin
•peeps doing DNA tests
•3 couples ( I mean ... 🙃)
• storm coming in
•a peeping Tom 👀

All that ^ = a dysfunctional read & I'm here for it !
I would also like to give a special shout out to the creepy boo one sculpture in the cabin.. WHATT was that about ?? && I also want to know what every one of the 50 items Bracken owns is .. because that's insane !

Thank you Park Row for the Arc ❤️

I want expecting much from this book because I’d never heard of the author before. But I got this as an ARC and the title alone intrigued me.

The book started to introduce characters and instantly I thought it would suck because the names. They weren’t off the wall and not normal. But I trudged on. Pretty quickly tho I was enthralled. I “just one more chapter”ed myself to death. I had to know how everyone linked together.

So this is two running time lines. Multiple characters. Who done it kind of story. And the whole time you’re trying to piece it together paying attention to every little detail you can. I didn’t guess it. I loved the character development and different points of views. I felt like the author didn’t give us everything we wanted in a pretty bow, which is great to me. Lots of good details. Kinda creepy read perfect for October. When I read it.

Overall I highly recommend this suspense mystery book!

This story follows Hannah, a stay at home mom, her husband Bruce, her best friend Cricket, Cricket’s date, Joshua, Hannah’s brother Mako, and his wife Liza as they embark on a weekend getaway to a secluded cabin. The cabin is owned by Bracken, who is a techy peeping Tom with video cameras installed throughout the property to watch his guests at all hours. Not only that, but there’s a storm coming in and tales of ghosts seen near the property. There’s a second storyline that follows Henry, who is orphaned as a child and has a mysterious past. Later in the book, the storylines converge.

This book was a wild ride! It’s filled with mystery, suspense, DNA tests, and interwoven storylines that eventually combine. I love a locked room mystery, a creepy atmosphere, and a whodunnit mystery to solve- this book has all of these elements. The DNA test storyline added a unique element to the plot as well. Many characters weren’t likable, but I felt like they weren’t really supposed to be. Be sure to check content warnings on this one as there are many! If you are a fan of suspenseful mysteries, you should definitely check this one out!

Thank you to Lisa Unger, Legend Press, and Netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I was really looking forward to Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six, however I felt like there were way to many characters, most I don't feel really added to the story. It started out ok but became messy really quick. Some subjects became quite repetitive. The "main" characters lacked depth and overall this book just fell flat for me. One thing you can take from Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is you really never know people or their intentions, wether it's family or friends.

Thank you to Netgalley and Legend Press for this ARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

A family Kos and vacation to a very secluded spot. Of course they lose power. All kinds of awful things are happening. They are in a locked room. That’s all the fixings for a hell of a thriller. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was a little confused at the beginning about the characters. Once I got them straight read was wonderful. Thank you NetGally And the publisher for providing an advanced copy This wonderful

I really wanted to like this book but so many thrillers are becoming similar and I lose interest very quickly. After reading the first few chapters and seeing the surprise Christmas gift, my thoughts were this is going to get very interesting. The setting of the cabin was great and well described but there were just too many characters to keep up with and ALL of them had so much drama so it was a bit much. It just didn't seem realistic to me. There were some storylines that seemed to be thrown in just to try to throw you off the trail and didn't add much to the overall story. I felt these could have been left out and the book would have been just fine. I was really looking forward to this book but it just feel flat. I normally enjoy Lisa Unger and this in no way makes me give up on her books in the future. Thanks Netgalley for the ARC.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was a fantastic read. It took me a little time to get to know all the characters and how they fit into the story, as there are time jumps too. Although, this is part of the twists and turns. You are not sure who everyone is. I just loved how everything tied together and even surprised me a little. The characters are flawed but this made it way more interesting. The setting was fantastic and really added to the story. I read this one really quickly and that is how I know it's good, I can''t stop reading. #SecludedCabinSleepsSix #NetGalley
