Summary

When my husband found this perfect little cabin in the woods for our honeymoon, I couldn’t wait to get away。 Just us in the middle of the forest, waking up every day in the trees, ending each night in the hot tub under the stars。 But now I’m not sure that I know my husband at all…

I just wish we’d gone to the police when someone left a note on the doormat saying: She’s dead, you’re next。 Ryan said I was overreacting, but I don’t understand why he won’t go to the cops now things are getting worse。 Can I trust my husband?

I’ve known about the terrible thing that Ryan did for years and it’s been tearing me apart。 Last night I told him I would always keep his secret。 But is the man I married hiding something else from me?

Now someone has cut the phone lines and we’re trapped here。 Ryan swears he has no idea what’s going on and just wants to keep us safe。 I’m here alone in the middle of the dark forest with the man I thought I could trust。 My heart is racing and there’s no one I can call…

My husband promised till death do us part。 Am I about to find out what that means?

A heart-pounding, unbelievably twisty psychological thriller that will have you sleeping with the light on! Fans of Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors and Date Night will be utterly gripped。

My first book by this author and I was blown away。 If every story by her is this good, then I certainly missed out on a lot。 Never too late to go back though and I keep my eyes wide open so I don’t let the next book slip through my fingers。It was good from the very first page on。 The chills never stopped running down my spine。 I really had no idea who I had to believe or to trust。 Is it him who is the creepy one or is it her?I had not the slightest inkling when I started the book where it would My first book by this author and I was blown away。 If every story by her is this good, then I certainly missed out on a lot。 Never too late to go back though and I keep my eyes wide open so I don’t let the next book slip through my fingers。It was good from the very first page on。 The chills never stopped running down my spine。 I really had no idea who I had to believe or to trust。 Is it him who is the creepy one or is it her?I had not the slightest inkling when I started the book where it would take me, but I never imagined it would go there。 It was just totally brilliant。When you finally think you know who has the upper hand, well… it seems you don’t or do you?You always better watch your back。 Someone might have seen you even if you are convinced nobody did… You could use it to your advantage or it could be the beginning of your downfall。Anyway, this is a story I will not forget easily。 I loved the surprises。 5 starsThank you, Kiersten Modglin and Bookouture 。。。more

Another great read! I read this in a day。 🤗 Kiersten is the queen of the twist, and she did it again with this one。 I’m only knocking this back to 3。5 stars because I was more wow’d by a few others of her recent stories, and I wanna rate them according to my preference… but I’d encourage anyone that likes twisty thrillers to add this to their shelf。

Sabrina

Definitely an edge of your seat suspense thriller。 I loved it! I actually felt Grace’s anxiety。 I don’t know how Kiersten does it but every book just gets better。 When you think you know what’s coming chances are very good that you’re wrong。 I always thoughts a cabin in the woods would be a fun vacation, I’m not so sure anymore。 Creepy good!

This was my first book by this author, and I've seen a lot of hype over her books。 I feel like it was well written, I love the way the story was told and the second part that explains the back story of everything。 However, it fell a bit short for me。 I agree with some other reviews that have said that some parts felt like they were from a silly scary movie, and there was a bit too much of the over the top love between the couple。 I did guess the first twist, but it kept me wanting to read more t This was my first book by this author, and I've seen a lot of hype over her books。 I feel like it was well written, I love the way the story was told and the second part that explains the back story of everything。 However, it fell a bit short for me。 I agree with some other reviews that have said that some parts felt like they were from a silly scary movie, and there was a bit too much of the over the top love between the couple。 I did guess the first twist, but it kept me wanting to read more to understand it better。 I did not see the last twist coming which was a good way to tie it all together, but strange to me。 This couple essentially is together to hold things against each other it feels like。Ryan and Grace are a couple that seem picture perfect - so in love。 They don't go on a honeymoon right after getting married, but months later decide to do a trip away just the two of them。 Ryan books a cabin in the woods, secluded, so they can be alone。 Grace is waiting to tell Ryan a big secret, she knows something that he did years ago。 When they run into a man in the woods, Grace wants to go home but Ryan keeps insisting that she's overreacting。 What is the secret ? Who is this man and what will he do ? Is Grace really overreacting ? 。。。more

“Death has a smell—strange and ineffable。 Primal。 Like birth。 Like the smell of the baby when it was born。 Like the smell of a room filled with grief, of tears, of hopelessness。 Somehow, as I stared up into the windows of the house that night…I knew I would smell it again。” Ryan is taking Grace away for a belated honeymoon, 6 months after their marriage, to an isolated cabin in the woods。 As soon as they arrive, though, things start to go wrong。 A creepy homeless man is living in the woods nearb “Death has a smell—strange and ineffable。 Primal。 Like birth。 Like the smell of the baby when it was born。 Like the smell of a room filled with grief, of tears, of hopelessness。 Somehow, as I stared up into the windows of the house that night…I knew I would smell it again。” Ryan is taking Grace away for a belated honeymoon, 6 months after their marriage, to an isolated cabin in the woods。 As soon as they arrive, though, things start to go wrong。 A creepy homeless man is living in the woods nearby。 A note is left on the doorstep saying: She’s dead, you’re next。 Read along as they put till death do us part to the test。 Ok。 This one started a tad slow for me。 But I suppose that type of buildup was required for the whiplash inducing wild ride that was the last 1/2-1/3 of this book。 Wow。 Just when you think you know what’s happening, BOOM, whiplash 🤯。 Neither Grace nor Ryan are fully reliable narrators and as soon as you get that aHa! moment where you think you know what’s going on…yup。 You guessed it。 Whiplash。 So if you enjoy 😱 and 😵 and 🧐 in your psychological thrillers, read Just Married。 Thank you to Netgalley, Bookouture and the author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I really would love a book two to see where life takes these two next。I couldn't stop turning the page with this one and finished it up within 24 hours。 Modglin really is an expert in her craft。 She is able to pull the reader in immediately and that grasp doesn't end until the very last page。 I plan on working my way through Modglin's impressive backlist, she is one author to watch! 。。。more

Until things are not - starting with a note left on their doormat that says, "She's dead, you're next。" Ryan starts gaslighting Grace, saying she's overreacting and doesn't need to go to the cops。 What does Grace do? Tell Ryan that she has known his secret for a while and will keep it forever。 Before they know it, things escalate, and it's clear someone is out to get them。 Ryan remains calm, but Grace is starting to panic。 I mean, wouldn't you? I will preface my opinion by saying that maybe it is because I am a heartless private person who gets uncomfortable with a highly affectionate display of intimate feelings。 I show my emotions in actions more than words。 For that reason, I was let down by Ryan and some of the dialogues; in parts, the conversations were onedimensional, so affectionate, and felt like one person was writing them all - I can't explain it well, but it's like when characters have their unique voice, a reader feel like it's the character speaking and not the author putting words in their mouth! I do not mean to diss the author, because overall I had a lot of fun reading this book。 I think it's a matter of expectation and preference; I was expecting a grittier, darker thriller。 Just Married read lighter (which is not bad) like it could be a Hallmark movie。 I feel this would be great for Cozy Mysteries fans who want to start reading darker thrillers。With that out of the way, let's get to the positives, shall we? First of all, what a solid first chapter! The tension and suspense were also so well done throughout the book。 Most of all, Modglin played fair with her solution, which you all should know by now is my number one thing when reading mysteries。 The book was well-plotted, and other than dialogues in some of Ryan's and Grace's chapters, the writing was terrific。 We have a third POV in some chapters (like the first), and I felt that the author's strength really shone in them。 I wish more of that narrative style could be found throughout the book。 Just married is a fast-paced page-turner that I feel many people will love。 Disclaimer: I first read it as an ARC。 In exchange for an honest review, I am thankful to Bookouture, Kiersten Modglin, and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of Just Married。 。。。more

What started out a honeymoon getaway for the newly married couple turns into their worst nightmare。This book introduces the main characters Grace and Ryan, who decided to postpone their honeymoon in order to save some money。 After 6 months of marriage, the couple is able to finally take their honeymoon to a remote cabin。 On the first night, the cabin is exactly the place the couple needs。 They spent time in the hot tub, but upon returning to the house, they discover the door is locked。 Now they have tp spend the night on the patio, but when morning comes, they discover the door is unlocked。 Chalking it up to a coincidence, they continue their honeymoon activities with a day hike and they come across a homeless man in the woods。 Thinking nothing of it, they give the man some food and continue back to the cabin。 Later, Grace begins to see the homeless man in the yard and that is when things really begin to unravel。 This story was fast paced and kept me on my toes until the very end。 The layering of the events, mysteries, and secrets that were being kept by both characters had me really wondering what was going to happen when it all came out! The ending was defiantly not one I saw coming and gave me "Gone Girl" feels! Overall, this was my first book by this author and it will not be my last! I would recommend this book for those who are fans of domestic thrillers! 。。。more

Turns out, this cabin was a murder sight a few years before and they never caught the killer。 This book was great !! It was short which was great because there was just enough build up and detail to help assist the story but not to much to overwhelm and bore you。 The twist was PERFECT and the ending was sooo good。 I loved that it wasn’t a traditional ending for a thriller。 I was able to read this book quickly- defy a page turner !!

Every couple has secrets。 Some are shared between them。 Others are not。Grace is the only person who knows her new husband Ryan’s big secret。 It’s what brought them together as a couple, and it’s what would destroy him if she ever told。 Although Ryan worries her silence won’t last, his extreme love for her overrides his fear of being exposed。 He’s obsessed only with making Grace happy。 However, little does Ryan know that his bride has secrets too — dangerous secrets that could change everything。A Every couple has secrets。 Some are shared between them。 Others are not。Grace is the only person who knows her new husband Ryan’s big secret。 It’s what brought them together as a couple, and it’s what would destroy him if she ever told。 Although Ryan worries her silence won’t last, his extreme love for her overrides his fear of being exposed。 He’s obsessed only with making Grace happy。 However, little does Ryan know that his bride has secrets too — dangerous secrets that could change everything。As much as Grace loves Ryan, she’s finally ready to reveal what she’s been hiding。 Their honeymoon trip to a cabin in the mountains is the perfect time。 But when a homeless man they encounter in the woods begins to stalk and threaten them soon after their arrival, there’s no longer time for romance or revelations。 Isolated and afraid, their focus becomes solely on finding an escape。 For reasons Grace can’t understand, Ryan doesn’t want to go to the local police for help。 But as the madman makes his murderous intentions clear, Grace knows that it’s do or die。Gripping, menacing, and filled with tense moments that’ll have your breath stuck in your throat, “Just Married” is a book full of secrets — with a huge secret of its own。 Author Kiersten Modglin is the queen of twists, and she proves why with this startling, suspenseful tale。 Despite developing a compelling storyline in the first part of the book, Modglin chucks the path she’s on to throw in a twist so huge that it takes the story in a completely new direction。 Doing this doesn’t work well for all books。 Think Terryn Fisher’s “The Wives” – at least, in my opinion。 But it works like magic for Modglin and “Just Married”。Told from both Ryan and Grace’s point of view, “Just Married” is fast moving without a single lull in the storyline。 Unease and suspicion quickly ratchet into tension, terror, and heart-pounding suspense as you race through the chapters。 It’s a book that can make you forget to eat or drink。 It’s a book that will make you forget to breathe。 You’ll jump at any shadows you see outside your window, that’s for sure。“Just Married” by Kiersten Modglin is a psychological thriller most will love, but it’s also one that will make you think。 Can a marriage survive secrets, even when the secrets directly involve the marriage? And when secrets are revealed, can they make a relationship stronger? Or do they permanently alter the dynamic between a couple? You’ll have to read the book for yourself to find out the mind-blowing way Grace and Ryan’s marriage changes after secrets come out。 It’s another twist in a book full of them。Thank you to Bookouture and author Kiersten Modglin for the gifted eARC。 。。。more

Would you go to the police when you receive a note or have your windshield broken? Would your secrets keep you from acting logically?This was a fast paced, clever book, with some twists along the way! It does not take long before things start happening and we get both Grace and Ryan’s IPOV throughout the book。 This helps move the book; along and to entice readers into trying to figure out the secrets of the main characters。I enjoyed the trapped claustrophobic feel of the book。 Several times throughout, I was shaking my head at the main characters。 This is a book; that can easily be read in one day。 It is enjoyable and kept me on my toes。 Clever, fast paced, read!Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review。 All the thoughts and opinions are my own。Read more of my reviews at www。openbookposts。com 。。。more
