An interesting, yet predictable read. With advances in science, we are able to uncover truths that some would rather remain hidden. This book is written from multiple points of view including the 3 couples renting the cabin, the owner of the rental, and two other characters who appear to be a second story line. A seemingly relaxing trip to a secluded cabin seems to be what these three couples need, but drama begins to unfold within the group. Without giving too much away, this book allows the reader to put the puzzle together piece by piece. It was a quick and enjoyable read.

I am a huge Lisa Unger fan, but this one just did not do it for me. I didn't enjoy the story. The characters made me cringe. I was just not a fan.
With that being said I will still read everything Lisa writes.

I enjoyed this book by Lisa Unger. I thought the premise with the owner/neighbor was a little out there and far-fetched, but overall I enjoyed the plot and character development.

Oh wow! SECLUDED CABIN SLEEPS SIX gave me full on chills and oh my goodness— the plot twists! I really enjoyed singer’s latest thriller and can’t wait to see what she’d devising next!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Must say that it took awhile to get interesting for me though; I would say I had to get roughly 40% in til I got really hooked.

This book is twisty and I like that. It isn't confusing though which is good because if too much is going on I can easily get lost. I do think at one point there were too many POV's, but then one was taken out, so it calmed down. But I remember thinking, 'great, who is this? I have to remember another person?' The premise is fairly simple, 6 people go to a very secluded cabin, and all hell breaks loose. Exactly why hell is being brought down upon these people is crazy and idk how authors come up with ideas like this.

Some of these characters though. Bracken was creepy and could have been turned down a notch. I'm not a parent, but I understand that Hannah would have reservations leaving GiGi, but really??? Is the anxiety and guilt really that much? This book has ruined the name GiGi for me, lol. Loved Henry and was so worried for his safety quite a few times.

Would highly recommend this title and will be checking out more books by this author.

I love a locked room mystery. I was impressed to find out this is Lisa Unger’s 20th novel & I know her for her action packed mysteries. Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six was definitely in line with her style. I listened to the audio and enjoyed it. I overall liked this one but parts were a little convoluted for me towards the end.

Trapped in the middle of nowhere is one of my favourite plot lines. This was a fast-paced, fun read. I wish there had been a few more characters involved. I think the plot would have established more interest. Otherwise, a solid thriller.

This book has such a good premise, but for me the delivery was a bit uneven. I found the plot to be predictable and the pacing to be too slow for my preference. I'm sure fans of suspense novels will still pick this one up. Great cover and title!

This book was entertaining but so messy. Too many characters and hard to keep them all track and even care about them. The DNA aspect was kind of a weird plot line. It had potential but fell a little flat for me. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3

This story started out a bit like other thrillers but soon went in a direction I could have never guessed!

3 couples at a fancy cabin for a getaway but it soon turns out that several (!!) of them have their own agendas beyond hiking & relaxing.

The concept used to create the tension & reason for conflict was one I have never seen used in a book before & was incredibly intriguing.

I love Lisa Unger, but she can be hit or miss for me. This was not suspenseful. It was mostly boring, waiting for something to happen. Maybe her next will be better for me.

What in the what. This was one twisty, messed-up book. Genetics are crazy, man.

The premise itself was absolutely awesome. I loved the idea, the synopsis, and honestly, most of the book. Unfortunately, a few things fell short for me: mostly, certain characters. I thought there were a few that were introduced and then had no growth, no arc, no ending. When I don't see the point or role of a side character, or if their line isn't finished up, that stands out to me in a book. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't elaborate.

Again, the story itself was fantastic. I just didn't see the point of introducing certain characters.

This was fast-paced and suspenseful with nice surprises along the way! This is my favorite type of thriller. Definitely go in blind to this one!

4 stars. This was a very good, entertaining thriller. I had fun reading it, but I did find that all the twists, backstories, and characters kind of became convoluted.

This was an addictive read that had me guessing what was going to happen next. I loved the suspense and twists and turns. Definitely recommend.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book. I had a lot of high hopes going into this one, and maybe that was my fault. However, I really think that there are two many points of view, especially with one not clear how he ties until the very end. The six sleeping in the cabin are not the six viewpoints. It is alright, but it started out so strong that I feel it fell flat a bit by the end.

3.75+ stars

I’ve been looking forward to this one for quite a while, and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s a story about love, family, betrayal; it’s about the horrific things that men so often get away with, but it’s also about the women who help them get away with their predatory actions, either actively or passively. I don’t know how I feel about all of the resolutions, but the book definitely made me think, which I wasn’t necessarily expecting from this type of thriller. The ending also wasn’t a huge surprise because, given the way the story was set up, there were really only a few ways it could go; nevertheless, it wasn’t boring or predictable in its execution, and I’m pretty sure some parts of it will stick with me. This was a fun, intriguing story that was well worth the wait.

Lisa Unger is one of my “must-read” authors. When I saw the cover of this one, I requested it without reading the blurb. I couldn’t resist the eerily creepy book cover with her name on it!

Six people in a luxurious but secluded cabin for the weekend.

Mako and Liza—Mako is wealthy and financing the trip. He’s also narcissistic and loves reminding everyone of how much money he spends on them.

Hannah and Bruce—Hannah is Mako’s sister. Bruce does some work for Mako’s tech company.

Cricket and Joshua—Cricket is Hannah’s bestie and Mako’s ex. She has brought along her new boyfriend whom no one knows.

When Liza and Joshua aren’t around, it’s obvious that there is still something between Mako and Cricket. And Bruce has been spending too much time on work calls lately. Things are heating up fast. And they reach the boiling point when Liza goes missing, the electricity goes out and a huge snowstorm hits.

The suspense starts building from the beginning when Hannah’s family members are gathered for Christmas. They all received anonymous gifts that contain DNA kits. No one claims responsibility and Christmas dinner ends poorly.

But that’s not all. Of course, Ms. Unger adds her usual undertones of supernatural.

And different stories are going on in the background. I was a bit overwhelmed by so many characters. Is this her best novel? Well…no, but I still enjoyed the intense mystery!

Sincere thanks to Lisa Unger and HTP/Park Row Books for providing this gifted ARC through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six intrigued me with its premise. I must be honest, the first thing I thought when I started was how in the heck would 6 adults go away with such seclusion!
Because I don't read a ton of thrillers, I'm pretty selective on which I read. I liked the idea of this "escape room" premise. I can assure you though, it was tough for me. I'm a scaredy cat and this book scared the bejeezus out of me!!

Family is complicated and this story illustrates that beautifully. Are we our genetics, or is family something we can chose? Hannah’s family has secrets - even more than she knows. These secrets explode because of genetic testing and a myriad of half siblings waiting in the wings. A weekend vacation is set in a beautiful home off grid but the weekend ends with death, and more secrets being exposed. The “family” is never the same.
