This book was long with a lot of weird characters and plot twists that went nowhere. There were too many characters and points of view. The storyline is that six people (three couples) go on this vacation ? retreat ? at some weird cabin in the middle of nowhere that has no online reviews. Everyone just seems to go along with it. But wait, that's not even the weird part.

There's someone that is looking to take revenge on one of our characters but we don't know why or where this person fits in. Eventually it all makes sense (ish). It was just... a lot. A lot of charaters, a lot of weird storylines, and a lot of things that seemed really just weird.

This one will have you rethinking doing a DNA / genealogy test and finding out where you come from.
When Hannah's brother Mako rents an over the top cabin in the middle of nowhere how can something not go wrong. Mako, his wife, his sister and her husband and his high school girlfriend and sometimes hookup and her new boyfriend are all supposed to enjoy the off the path retreat but from the beginning things aren't right. The different characters and perspectives will have you wondering, and some may not be necessary, but in the end it all comes together. Always a fan of Lisa Unger.

I loved this book! It's well-written, enjoyable, and a great read. Unger did a great job of writing in a way that captures the readers attention, and makes you not want to put it down until you're finished! Lisa Unger will always be a top-notch suspense writer, and I love all the books I've read by her! I would highly recommend this book!!

This story was so messy and all over the place. The locked room mystery vibe is something I generally love, and this story didn’t do it for me at all. Boring plot, no real surprises, and unmemorable characters.

Great thriller - I will say that I can always rely on Lisa Unger for a good read, and this one doesn't disappoint.

This was a DNF book for me. I found that there were a lot of characters and the storyline was hard to follow. I was not invested enough to finish it.

Going into this psychological thriller with no idea what the story is about seems to have made this a more enjoyable read. At first you will be very confused by all the povs you get and how they will all fit together, but when this complex plot comes together it will al make sense! Things truly get going about 30% in; its explosive writing, fast paced (only letting up to let you catch up with the plot), on-the-edge-of-your-seat intrigue that will have you questioning who really is the monster in the story...

While the plot revolves around many different povs, it mainly follows three couples who go on vacation to a luxury cabin in the woods of Georgia. When one disappears, blood is found, and things turn ugly, truths are revealed and a murderer is out for blood...

Lisa Unger tells a story that will show sometimes DNA isn't everything and the family you build can have more value than the family you're biologically related to. Secrets have a way of coming out and will always have some kind of consequence. The choices you make can lead down dark paths...

If psychological thrillers are your thing, and you have not yet read this book, I would highly recommend going into this knowing that there is more to this than meets the eye...

Thank you to Netgalley for the review copy to read. The above review is my own opinion on the story!

I DNF’d this book about 40% through. I typically enjoy this author’s books, but it was not for me. I enjoyed the writing style but I was not connecting with the plot. I am still really excited to see what this author writes in the future!

This was on okay books. Multiple POVs and none of the characters were very like able. There was just too much unnecessary content for this book that didn’t need to be there.

In Lisa Unger's latest, the author gives her readers a locked-room mystery with all the right elements. You have a storm coming, a dark history of the location, and characters that jump off the page. SECLUDED CABIN SLEEPS SIX is another example of why readers keep coming back to Unger's dark, twisty, and bingable books.

I LOVE all things Lisa Unger and this book did not disappoint! Her way of telling a story and keeping me, the reader on edge, wanting to come back for more, is what I love about this author. If you are new to Lisa's work, please do yourself a favor and gather up all of her past works of art and hunger down and enjoy. Even if you pick up an audiobook and listen as you clean the house, go for a walk......you will have found yourself another "auto buy author" to add to your list!

This was a mixed-feeling thriller for me. It was so full of details and characters and backstory that my mind was pinging all over the place trying to figure it out. The thrill part of it was not as big as I was expecting with all the other content, but I was still weaving spider webs trying to connect all the dots and was satisfied when everything was toed up nicely. I was, perhaps, a little let down with the "locked room" aspect - it felt a little predictable and forced. I have many mixed feelings about the characters too. So many feelings. Overall, a quick and engaging read that I would recommend.

As much as I was intrigued by the concept of this one, it didn't quite get there for me. I felt like the differing perspectives didn't really fit together for most of the story. Things like that can cause me to not be able to really get into the story and that's what I found happening here. By the end everything did come together, but the pacing was off since I kept being thrown off by the disjointed perspectives. Also, there weren't really any characters that were reliable or likeable, so that's another thing that was pulling me out of the story. Once completed I can definitely see how the story can be enjoyed, it is certainly twisty and does come together in the end - but this one just wasn't entirely for me.

Hmmm. This started off strong but kinda took a weird turn at some point. I just didn’t expect the DNA testing / ancestry angle to be a such a huge part of the book. Overall, there were a lot of moving parts and way too many characters, imo, which resulted in superfluous characters, unnecessary red herrings, and many lose ends. It got a bit convoluted at the end but still entertaining. I think it’s definitely worth a read but it wasn’t my favorite of Unger’s.

Rating: 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4).

Thank you, NetGalley and Park Row, for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!

I like the twists and turns. I would have liked it to be a bit shorter. The characters were well written and the dialogue was versed well. I would have liked a bit more action at the begging of the story to set the scene. Overall fun read!

This book had me wondering from the start. The writing is good with lots of descriptive phrases that put you into the cabins waiting for the next to die.
Brilliant!

Wow, this was such a fun and quick read! It was fast paced with so many secrets to uncover! Had a lot of fun reading this!

I think this was my second Lisa Unger Read, and I may have liked it more than the first one I read! The unreliable characters, and not knowing whom to trust is what I liked the most!!

A locked room mystery set in a rental house in the middle of nowhere? Sign me up! The story kept my interest, but I did feel like a few of the side stories were a bit muddled and didn't go anywhere. Otherwise, this was a great mystery to read during the fall. Thanks to Netgalley for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Lisa Unger's "Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six" is a locked room thriller that attempts to keep readers on the edge of their seats. The narrative is set in a remote cabin, a classic setting for a thriller, and Unger does a commendable job of creating an atmosphere of suspense and mystery.
The book is a bit lengthy, which may be a deterrent for some readers. The pacing could have been tighter, and some sections felt unnecessarily drawn out. This occasionally disrupted the flow of the story and made it a bit challenging to maintain interest.
The plot, while intriguing, had elements that seemed a bit far-fetched. Some of the twists and turns felt forced and not entirely believable, which detracted from the overall suspense and thrill of the story.
Unger introduces a large cast of characters in this novel. While this adds to the complexity of the story, it also makes it a bit difficult to keep track of everyone. Some readers might find this overwhelming and confusing.
Despite these criticisms, Unger's writing style is engaging and she does a good job of creating a sense of unease and tension. However, compared to her other works, "Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six" falls a bit short. It's not a bad read by any means, but it's not Unger at her best.
In conclusion, "Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six" is an okay read for fans of the genre and Lisa Unger's previous works. However, those new to her writing might want to start with her other novels. This book is a testament to Unger's storytelling abilities, but it's not her most compelling work.
