With disturbing relevance to modern-world issues, Unger is not afraid to explore the darkest corners of humanity and the secret workings of the human mind. Reading every chapter with an insatiable desire to learn more about the macabre drama that continues to unfold, the reader will need to strap in. You will find yourself craving to see more of this terrifying scene unfold, with every page.

The final picture Unger paints continues to haunt me, yet it leaves me wanting more.

Trapped out in the middle of nowhere and in the worst weather conditions with people you’re not sure you can trust even the slightest is how this book goes! Six people who are very close to each other that are carrying heavy baggage of dirty dirty secrets gather to “enjoy” a weekend get away. There are so many POVs between Hannah, Bruce, Mako, Lisa, Cricket, Joshua basically every one in the couples. There is definitely a watcher outside waiting for the grand finale for what she’s planned! Grab this read when you can!

This book is definitely a wild, crazy ride!!!!!!!! You don't predict this story unraveling like it does to all come together towards the end. That is the magic of Lisa Unger's weird but so unique writing style.

Suspense/ Thriller. 3 couples go on vacation to a secluded cabin in the woods. Some one is watching them and everyone is keeping secrets.
This was a real page turner. I enjoyed the different relationships between all of the characters and couldn't tell what was going to happen. I would recommend.

I loved this book and truly couldn't put it down. The setting was stunning and the story shocking. I flew through the pages as I always do with Lisa Unger books. 5 stars!

I have no idea why it took me 25 days to read this. I adore the dark mind and writing of Lisa Unger.
This book is one of her best. I couldn’t figure out all the characters and their connections for the longest time and some were very sketchy and turned out to be less dark than others. Dealing with DNA and finding out your genealogy adds a great twist to this book. The secluded cabin added so much dark atmosphere! I believe my two favorite characters were Hannah and Henry. They believed in love so much and had very little to do with each other but their unique story arcs were so very well written.
I would give this book 4.5 stars. Definitely pick this book up if you haven’t read! I read a gifted e galley thank you to Park Row books.

As I was reading, I noticed we were getting chapters from characters we hadn't met yet. Ooh, like CONFESSIONS ON THE 7:45! That was a 4-star book, so I had hope for this one.

It's not bad. It's 3.5 stars, maybe. Though it's obviously about family, it also raises questions of redemption. Is redemption possible? What circumstances can prevent a seemingly high-risk person from committing unethical/criminal acts? Who deserves, or doesn't, forgiveness?

Henry's heart is too good for this world. Thus some choices he made were annoying.

The acknowledgements section mentions that the author found something dark in her own family history, which may or may not turn up in her fiction one day. I am a stickybeak, so of course I want to know what!

I am not sure what I was expecting, but I don’t think it was this. A closed circle mystery as the three couples are stranded at a cabin during a hurricane. The group consists of siblings, their spouses and a new boyfriend. So you already know who to suspect, right? The group newcomer, but I kept wondering if that was too obvious.

As I read the tension grew as the stakes soared. While I wasn’t able to guess the final outcome, I do think all the clues were there. I always love a book about siblings and their dynamics. I am intrigued by the DNA testing kits and who can use those results.

I was entertained by all the secrets, but I did have to pay attention as there are multiple narrators and POVs. If you like slow builds and complex plots, you’ll like this one.

I am a huge fan of Lisa Unger and was thrilled to get this early copy. The book started off really strong but fell flat in the second half. I didn't find it very thrilling and maybe a little predictable.

Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger is an incredibly suspenseful well written thriller that I asbolutely DEVOURED.

I love the premise, cabin in the woods, not internet or cell service, family secrets, and more.

This one had me on the edge of my seat.

Absolutely LOVED IT!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. The novel started off so strong I felt really invested in the beginning with the characters and theme. However the second half fell flat and I was regretful of not feeling invested in the writing.

Loved this twisty, dark thriller! I loved the atmospheric feel of this, and it was a perfect slump buster. Great twists and turns as well.

This book was unique, interesting, and fun to read. While I enjoyed reading it for personal reading, I will not be adopting it for my classroom. Thank you to the publisher!

A weekend away at a luxury cabin in the woods for 3 couples turns into a nightmare. Hannah's tech mogul brother has planned and paid for the entire weekend. The six friends need this trip with good food, good company and some R&R. They start with a hot tub, personal chef and spectacular views, but as they learn the spine-tingling history of the property, things look different. The friends have their own complicated pasts. Someone is determined to ruin the weekend, looking to exact a payback for deeds long buried. Who is the stranger among them?

This book kept me guessing, nothing was as it seems. I really couldn't guess much of what was coming. It's a book full of awful people which, although they're hard to relate to, is more enjoyable in a way, especially in a plot like this. I don't want to imagine myself in a similar situation. The cabin sounded stunning though - am I weird that this book makes me want to book a weekend away in the wilderness? LOL

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4.

Thank you to the Killer Crime Club on Facebook for my e-copy.

This started off so strong I felt really invested in the beginning. However the second half fell flat and I was regretful of not feeling invested in the writing.

I had the hardest time getting invested and DNF’d around the 35% mark. There was so much going on with each character but so shallowly that I just didn’t care and the voyeurism of the cabin owner was off putting on top of everything else that was happening.

A group of six people, tied together by love and family, are invited to a weekend retreat in a secluded cabin. Throughout the book, we follow several characters and timelines, some of which are definitely more interesting than others. This book had a lot going on, and a lot of information thrown at the reader. In the end, I didn't think it was an amazing thriller and the twist was just ok. This is my third Lisa Unger book, and I enjoyed the others. This one just didn't have an impactful plot or any sort of message that stayed with me.

This was my first thriller by Lisa Unger, and it certainly won't be the last! I love secluded cabin mysteries...there's something about the forced proximity and "claustrophobic" feeling that lends itself so well to a thriller, and Unger definitely knows how to manipulate this trope to her advantage.

Locked room mystery, I am in!

I went into this book completely blind and it works for this one! I would definitely recommend going into this one knowing nothing! Not knowing the plot or where the story was going kept me invested and unable to put the book down.

The first have was a bit of a slow burn, but then it really starts to take off. Suspenseful, unexpected, and brilliant! I had so much fun with this one.

I love a locked room thriller trope, and I have heard great reviews about Lisa Unger, so I had to give this one a go!

I was a little confused in the beginning with the multiple POVs/storylines, but I feel like that is bound to happen with a gang of characters. I felt like it was a bit of a slow burn too but so necessary for plot development. I felt like i was intrigued throughout the whole story, even with the characters that I didn't like so much. The DNA testing part was super interesting, and I loved how unique some aspects of the story were.

Overall I really enjoyed this one!!
