If you’re a fan of psychological thrillers with a domestic twist, The New Marriage by L.G. Davis is the kind of book that grabs you early and doesn’t let go.

The story follows Drew, a woman trying to navigate what seems like an ideal marriage with her husband, Mark—until she begins to uncover unsettling truths. From the beginning, Davis does a great job planting subtle clues that something isn’t quite right. What I appreciated most was how the tension built steadily, not just from shocking events but through the emotional weight of secrets, mistrust, and manipulation.

Without spoiling anything, there’s a major twist later in the book that genuinely caught me off guard—which is rare for me in this genre. The dynamic between Drew and Mark’s sister, though, felt a bit uncomfortable at times and might leave you with mixed feelings, especially if you’re sensitive to morally grey or manipulative character interactions.

That said, if you enjoy books where no one can be trusted, and every chapter pulls the rug out from under you, this is definitely worth reading. It’s fast-paced, emotionally charged, and just twisted enough to keep you flipping pages late into the night.

Thank you to NetGalley & Bookouture for the chance to read this book!

Just about everything I've gotten from Bookouture has been a 5 star read, and this one did not let me down! I was hooked from the beginning of this book and it was a whirlwind of a ride! It was very fast paced, all the characters had this sneaky way about them I felt i Just had to keep reading to find out about! It felt like everyone was hiding something! The secrets all came out in a pretty neat little bow just like they always do, poor Mark, but that ending!!!! I Will def be looking forward to more from this author in the future!

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

So many hidden twists that even a seasoned thriller love like myself never saw coming!

Very good story.

Really enjoyable thriller. It's a pretty overdone plot, but I thought it was executed nicely. Lots of twists and turns that I didn't see coming and I found it a bit of a refreshing take on a pretty tired troupe! 4 stars!!

Secrets galore in this book and just when I thought I had it all figured out........................I was wrong! Great ending !
Many thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this ARC in return for an honest review. Definitely recommend this one

Big thanks to Bookouture for a copy on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The New Marriage is a thrills a minute thriller that will have you guessing until the very end.
I’ve read a few of this author’s books and I have enjoyed them immensely and this one is another one that’s worth a read.
Drew and Mark are happily married after both of them losing partners.
But not everyone is happy with this union.
Mark’s sister Sarah is angry and will make sure Drew never replaces his first wife.
Sarah’s best friend Melody was also Mark’s wife.
Drew finds a winning lottery ticket but for her to cash it in she must become public knowledge and she doesn’t want anyone to know her secret past.
But Mark is also hiding secrets.
What happens next is………… well read the book to find out.
A very entertaining psychological experience.
A domestic suburban drama full of interesting characters, a clever plot and that unexpected ending.
Secrets, lies and family drama are just the beginning….

Felt copy and paste of similar books that have been put out recently. It needed different twists and to be more unguessable.

Secrets secrets secrets!!! Everybody has earth shattering secrets. And they're barely hanging on to keep their lives together without coming apart at the seams. This was a twisty one!
The New Marriage is full of terrible characters, lying and hiding their way through the story. With plot twists at the end of every chapter and drops of foreshadowing thru out I had to read on to see where all this was going!
Drama!
I was going to give this a 3 from a solid 3.5 for being above the average page turner thriller but I just loved the ending! It was spectacular! 4 stars!
Thank you, Netgalley, publisher, and author for the ARC.

This latest LG Davis thriller is a mastermind of twists that I was tangled up in until the ending wrapped up in betrayal!

The New Marriage by L.G. Davis was a fantastic book with great twists and turns throughout that made it a roller coaster ride from the very beginning and I loved it! I found it hard to put down, a absolute page turner! I did not want it to finish. . . . especially as all the characters were brilliant and they kept you on your toes.

I highly recommend The New Marriage a great holiday read.

A good thriller with lots of twists and turns. Everyone is lying and hiding sinister secrets. Unreliable characters make it more interesting. Multiple viewpoints increase the suspense. Drew, Mark, Sarah, and Jason all have dark regrets. As everything revealed in the end, it was shocking. Fast-paced chapters with a chilling climax. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC

I will read anything Davis writes!
The New Marriage by L.G. Davis grabbed me from the very beginning and didn’t let go until the end.
I loved the tension of this book, and the author captured the creepy feel.
I was hooked from the very beginning and COULD NOT put it down. There was so much to learn as you kept reading to learn more, so many characters had secrets and you don't know who to trust.
The twists, they didn't stop...it was bombshell after bombshell followed by plenty of jaw dropping moments that I wasn't expecting!

This was a pretty good book. It did have slow moments where I drifted off at times but when it comes to twists and turns this has them all! It also has an ending you will not soon forget.
This story seems to start off by the finding of a lottery ticket that is a huge winner. It's found by a woman, recently married, who has a past that she decides is better kept hidden than expose herself by cashing in. She decides this after telling her husband. Anyway, I won't give spoilers here. That just sort of sets off the story.
This is well written. The story flows well and has an interesting cast of characters.
I will definitely read more by this author.

The New Marriage is another superb read by LG David that is filled with suspense and tension. I knew as soon as I finished the prologue I’d be in for a thrilling read and that was most certainly the case. Plenty of twists and turns that had me not wanting to put this book down until the final page. Good well developed characters who I didn’t know which of them if any I could trust. If you want a gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat this is the book for you.

I think this is my seventh of Davis' books and every one has been as enjoyable as its predecessor.

The New Marriage had me spinning, I wasn't expecting to be taken on such a wild ride! I thought I had it all sussed out, then the twists hit me!

Pace is fast, the plot is thrill a minute and the characters had me compelled to keep reading. Their secrets and lies knew no bounds!

A dark and twisty page turner.

Available now, run to grab your copy!

Mark and Drew are newlyweds after recently loosing each one of their spouses.

What I loved most about this read was the format of this book is written in a back and forth perspective between the two main characters, Mark and Drew. I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter. What a page-turner! The secrets, the drama, and plot twists kept me engaged. This was not a predictable read either.

Mark and Drew are newlyweds after recently loosing each one of their spouses. While Mark feels they are in the newlywed bliss, there are many dark secrets being hidden by Drew. Can they survive them? You will have to read to find out!

L.G. Davis has quickly became one of my favorite authors and I look forward to more of his books.

If you love family drama, secrets, and twists then this book is for you!
The New Marriage is full of twists and quick chapters that makes it so easy to read just one more chapter (12 chapters later😂). Some twists were predictable but others I totally didn’t see coming (which I LOVE!)
Thank you to the bookouture and to netgalley for the eARC! is by far my favorite author I’ve discovered!

Review shared on my bookstagram page, @bookofthemeg on pub day-4/29!

LG Davis never fails to impress me and keeps me guessing with her amazing twists and turns!
This is my fourth book by Liz and I can’t believe she doesn’t have more recognition in the book community.
Thanks so much NetGalley for letting me read The New Marriage before its release!

It took me awhile to get through the book honestly. It was a little boring at first but then everything connected. I had mixed feelings about Drew. Lori I didn’t really know what to think about considering she was helping. The plot was definitely crazy something I did not expect, even at the end.

A winding road of twists and turns, A New Marriage asks the question - how much do you truly know someone, and how long can a secret truly be a secret?

A New Marriage follows Drew and her husband Mark, having been recently married and adjusting to life after they both lost their first spouses. Drew and Mark do their best to blend their families by having dinner with Mark's over protective sister, Sarah, and Drew's recently sober son, Jason, although the tension is always high. Mark and Drew's own relationship seems strained by money problems, as well as issues from Mark's meddling sister. Things seem to turn around when Drew finds a winning lotto ticket - the winning sum a life changing amount. The only issue? To claim it would mean revealing secrets no one was meant to know.

Every time you think you know where this story is headed, there's a twist or turn you don't see coming. L.G. Davis does a great job of keeping you on your toes while also keeping you glued to the page, waiting to see what happens next.

I especially loved the twist I the epilogue - I immediately went to re-read part of the book because of it. Very well done!!
