Three strikes。 I enjoyed this novel even less than Last Girl Ghosted and Confessions on the 7:45。 Prosaic， glacially paced， ridiculously plotted。 （DNA done so much better in Girls with Bright Futures。） Three strikes。 I enjoyed this novel even less than Last Girl Ghosted and Confessions on the 7:45。 Prosaic， glacially paced， ridiculously plotted。 （DNA done so much better in Girls with Bright Futures。） 。。。more

This was a long read for me。 There were so many distractions （I don’t understand at the time） throughout the beginning that I almost stopped reading。 Fortunately， the ending tied it it all together for me and made it a good read。

This thriller has so much potential！ When I read the synopsis I was so excited for this book。 The first few chapters are so good; I was hooked！ The characters are flawed and interesting。 Not really relatable， but so close that you want to relate to them。 When I think back on the the book as a whole， the story is there。 It was pretty good with logical twists that were unexpected。 But while I was reading， the execution of the story is a bit clunky。 It seemed to be fast paced and yet drag on。 The t This thriller has so much potential！ When I read the synopsis I was so excited for this book。 The first few chapters are so good; I was hooked！ The characters are flawed and interesting。 Not really relatable， but so close that you want to relate to them。 When I think back on the the book as a whole， the story is there。 It was pretty good with logical twists that were unexpected。 But while I was reading， the execution of the story is a bit clunky。 It seemed to be fast paced and yet drag on。 The two story lines weren't quite parallel enough for them to come to a cohesive ending。 It happened， but seemed forced。 Overall， not bad。 I would recommend it to the right person。 。。。more

You must just get a rubber stamp from your editor when it's your 20th book being published。 The three female protagonists are all different flavors of doormat for one of the male protagonists。 One character is utterly pointless and yet gets several chapters dedicated to his point of view。 And the entire premise of the killer is rooted in a bad pop psychology misunderstanding of nature v nurture。 You must just get a rubber stamp from your editor when it's your 20th book being published。 The three female protagonists are all different flavors of doormat for one of the male protagonists。 One character is utterly pointless and yet gets several chapters dedicated to his point of view。 And the entire premise of the killer is rooted in a bad pop psychology misunderstanding of nature v nurture。 。。。more

My first Lisa Unger book and I thoroughly enjoyed it。 I was hooked from the beginning。 It never got dull or boring and always stayed intriguing throughout。 Hated some of the characters but the story was very good

So I'm not going to repeat the premise of the book。 You can read that for yourself。 This book has many characters and altenating timlines， which include twists and turns。 The characters aren't super deeply flushed out， but enough for you to connect with them。 Some are more likable than others。 I liked the DNA site angle and family connections。 This book has a bit of locked door mystery/thriller but not as much as others I have read。 I give this book somewhere between 3。5 and 4 stars。 It was an e So I'm not going to repeat the premise of the book。 You can read that for yourself。 This book has many characters and altenating timlines， which include twists and turns。 The characters aren't super deeply flushed out， but enough for you to connect with them。 Some are more likable than others。 I liked the DNA site angle and family connections。 This book has a bit of locked door mystery/thriller but not as much as others I have read。 I give this book somewhere between 3。5 and 4 stars。 It was an entertaining quick read。 。。。more

Fun enough book to read if you have nothing else to do！ The chapters are written in different perspectives…。 And there are a lot of characters。 A lot of names。 And it doesn’t come together until the end， and not very well at that。 It is a little confusing。 But it is also pretty fun and fast paced if you can get the hang of the characters names and all the plots。

Most of it was good， motive was a stretch。 A couple characters made no sense in the story。

I have read Lisa Unger before and this new book did not disappoint。 This authrs ability to draw you into her spine tingling thrillers is astonishing。 This story I read was an audio book and I literally had to fight to turn it of。 Her ability to create cliff hanger spots in the stoy is truly her specialty。 I was amazed at the twists in the plot that were stil lhappening after 90 percentof the story was told。 This book reminded me of the Hunting Party by Lisa Foley。

Unger ALWAYS deliversI love all of Lisa’s books。 She makes the dark side of life come alive and the twists and turns are unpredictable。 Yet hope is always interwoven on the pages。 A fabulous book about family。

A group of six friends rent a beautiful secluded cabin。 People end up dead。 Your typical locked-door thriller right？ Think again。 The book begins at Christmas with a gift for genetic testing to learn more about themselves that no one will claim is from them。 This seems random right？ Hold that thought。 Once the group arrives at the cabin， we start to get to know the characters a little better。 Alternating from past to present across multiple characters， it was challenging to keep track of who was A group of six friends rent a beautiful secluded cabin。 People end up dead。 Your typical locked-door thriller right？ Think again。 The book begins at Christmas with a gift for genetic testing to learn more about themselves that no one will claim is from them。 This seems random right？ Hold that thought。 Once the group arrives at the cabin， we start to get to know the characters a little better。 Alternating from past to present across multiple characters， it was challenging to keep track of who was who， or to become attached to any one person。 I couldn’t find myself rooting for anyone。 The characters were largely unlikeable and that was frustrating。 Wait it out。I found myself lost and a little confused in the multiple seemingly unrelated storylines。 As the layers started to peel away， the overarching theme came to light。 Do bad people evolve from their life circumstances or their genetic predispositions？ If you knew you could protect others from future harm， what lengths might you go to do that？ I honestly loved this fresh take on this old philosophical and ethical question。 Honestly， the story got a bit messy in the middle。 I wasn’t connecting with anyone let alone liking any of the characters， but it comes together in the end。 It kept me reading and the genetics of it - for me， that’s what saved it in the end。 3⭐️#SecludedCabinSleepsSix #NetGalley #Bookstagram #Thriller 。。。more

OkayIt’s a good enough story， but the characters are pretty flat in spite of the twists。 It’s kind of like if Hallmark commissioned a thriller。

I had a hard time staying with this one。 The story was good but there were so many characters to follow， each with their point of view， plus flashbacks。 I recommend taking notes so you can keep up。 The suspe se was great throughout but it all ended very abruptly。 The last few chapters were a good epilogue。 Thanks #netgalley for a first look！
