My first experience of this author, and it didn’t disappoint. A thoroughly gripping roller coaster ride of a thriller. Recommended.

I love a good counselor thriller and this one was a fun read. I was drawn in at the beginning and it held throughout the entirety of the book. A fun book to sit down with and lose yourself in.

What a ride. I loved this one. New Author for me and I cant wait to read more from Dea. This was propulsive and fast and an excellent read.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this ARC.

I am invested on any thriller/marriage type of book. But this fell short for me.
I felt like it was all over the place for me and hard to keep up at times. I didn't connect to the characters and didn't seem to care about them. If I didn't get this as an ARC I would have DNF it.

Over all it wasn't for me.

This novel was very fast-paced and told in first person narrative with twists I did not see coming. One issue with this novel is that I had a few questions as some things were left unanswered, but this was still a great story. If you’re looking for a delightful thriller, then I hope you grab yourself a copy of this one TODAY!

What an exciting sounding synopsis! Unfortunately, the actual book was a major letdown. The story was all over the place and really messy. There was way too much going on. I think it would have been a better story if the author focused on fewer things. It was overall confusing and repetitive.

The title also made no sense. Other than the main character being a therapist, the "marriage counsellor" aspect did not tie into the story at all. Very confused by this title choice. I think this is something that should have been caught during the edits. I think the entire book could use some major editing.

Thank you Bookouture and NetGalley for the copy in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. A little hard to get into at first and it dragged in parts but overall a great book! I did not see the twist at the end coming at all!

Dea Poirier continues to amaze me with her ability to draw readers into to the characters in order to level up the emotional and physical dangers in her book. The Marriage Counselor is just another example of her stellar skill.

Reminded me of other marriage counseling books that are on the market at this time. This like some
Seem to be a similar topic. However the author did a good job executing hers in a lot of ways.

This one had me hooked from the beginning; I was dying from the suspense. I think all this could happen but partly it felt a bit out there. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment of the novel though.

A deadly obsession. A marriage counselor and I was completely addicted.
The characters have secrets and tell lies so you don't know what to believe.

Adele is a marriage counselor with famous parents. Usually she helps other couples but now her own marriage is in trouble. Her husband Patrick disappears, he never told his work that Adele existed and he has apparently been on vacation for the past two weeks. Where and why has he gone?
The Marriage Counselor is a psychological thriller set in America.
Adele knows her own marriage isn't perfect but nothing prepares her for the events that ensue when her husband goes missing. The police officer that comes to inform her of the disappearance is her first love but she isn't sure if she can trust him. She secretly starts to investigate her husband and makes some shocking discoveries: did she know him at all?! Meanwhile the press gets hold of allegations against her celebrity therapist parents leading Adele to reflect on secrets from the past.
There are a lot of threads to unpick in this book with personal and professional angles for Adele, Patrick and her parents. Events move quite quickly as the truth for these various aspects start to be revealed. I wanted to know the truth almost as much as Adele!
The book is written from Adele's first person perspective which allows us to understand her confusion and gradual realisation of the truth about her husband and relationship. Adele seems to be very much a victim at first as Patrick is portrayed as an awful man and she is blamed for her parents' actions. There are lotsof twists even on the final page...
The Marriage Counselor is an intriguing thriller about love and lies.

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of The Marriage Counselor by Dea Poirier from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review and opinion. I was hoping to love this book but found it to be a bit confusing and I had a hard time staying focused to see what was finally going to happen. I unfortunately didn't love this one.

A gripping read that gave me chills and left me on the edge of my seat. IU was kept guessing all the way through

This book jumps around so please make sure you are paying attention.

One would think a counselor/marriage counselor lives a great life. No issues because they are a therapist. WRONG

Adele's husband, Patrick, is missing. Her ex-boyfriend Cameron is on the case. Adele uncovers many things about Patrick and realizes he is living a double life. Lots of twists and turns in this book. Make sure you pay attention.

A domestic psych thriller that kept me invested but was a little on the dramatic side of the line. Readers who are okay with "over-the-top" thrillers and can suspend disbelief may enjoy this curvy mystery.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

Unfortunately this book was a little too unrealistic for me. It was predictable and I like a book that I dont know whats going to happen.

This is told from the singke pov of marriage Counsellor Adele who start living hwr own tragedy when her husband Patrick goes missing.
Full of twists and turns and red herrings this take a while to get you hooked but hooked it does. The back story of adele is hinted at various points. I would like to have read more about her parents death. This was vitual to the plot but was just too matter of fact for me.
The unravel at tines was a bit far fetched for me but kept me hooked and the ending was spot on. Thanks to net gallery and publisher for arc This is a solid 4.5 so 4 . Good read definitely worth your time

This was an ok read for me! A little over the top in some scenarios, but I was a little intrigued to see what was going to happen at the end!
