I loved this book. It was very suspenseful and thrilling with twists and turns and I was holding onto my seat the whole time. I hated all of the characters but that is a good thing as you can't decide which ones to actually believe and which ones not to. The ending was great!

Calling all Frieda McFadden fans, you’ll love this story! Truly felt like I was watching a horror movie with its fast pace.

The other couple is about a couple going on vacation to a remote place, only to find they have been double booked and can’t leave due to a storm.

The characters Kyle and Heather really knew how to get under reader’s skin. Also the story is truly terrifying reading this as a parent.

The twists were surprising but I felt like there were major plot holes which made the ending not plausible.

The intentions of each character were a little murky. Why were Kyle and Heather staying there? Did David and Lainey know it was going to be double booked? So many questions.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

I was not expecting *that* (ending). This is a perfect weekend read, just not while you're on vaction during a storm. A plot twist I didn't expect.

I loved that the author set the scene and we were thrown into the chaos immediately. The buildup and twist at the end took me completely by surprise. I was thinking of a number of different endings while reading, but none of which were right. This is the kind of book you’ll want to reread after you know the ending just to figure out how you could have missed it!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing a free ebook copy in exchange for an honest review. This book will be released March 28, 2005.

Back in February I read His First Wife by Jack Dane and I loved it and was HOOKED on the plot and writing style. So when I saw his new upcoming book, The Other Couple, I was very excited to read it. I loved this one and I will definitely be reading more of his books in the future.

WHEW, boy this one had me GRIPPED from start to finish!! I read it in one sitting! The tension and atmosphere in The Other Couple is extremely well done. I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen. I really don’t want to give anything away about it. I absolutely loved this twisty, fast-paced, kinda creepy thriller! It’s a new favorite for me.

I definitely recommend this one to all thriller fans, it’s a quick thrill ride that doesn’t disappoint!!

Jack Dane is quickly climbing up the ladder of best psychological thriller authors! This book sucked me in from the very first page and I neverrr saw the plot twists coming! I really felt the tension and fear of the characters while reading. So well written and truly thrilling!!! Dane is officially an auto=buy author for me!

Lainey and David go on their first holiday with their adopted baby Jonah. When they arrive at the secluded cabin they're renting, they discover it's been double booked! Heather and Kyle have already settled into their holiday home, and make no sign of wanting to give it up. They eventually agree to share the cabin until the agency sorts out the booking. Together, they learn the previous couple staying in the cabin was murdered, and then they find a baby journal belonging to them which Kyle reacts to in a weird way. Heather becomes a bit too interested in helping with Jonah and Kyle's odd behaviour becomes worrying. Suddenly, Lainey starts noticing doors she knows she closed are now open, and as we read the entries in the baby journal, things start to unravel...

In my opinion this is one of those books that you think is going one way and keep thinking "surely it can't be that obvious?" and then it hits you!! The twist in this story is spectacular, diabolical, amazing!! I devoured it in one sitting, what an absolute page-turner.

This was a great read about a couple with a baby having to share a rental with a strange couple. Instantly I felt uneasy with the comments from the other couple, I felt there was a lot of suspense and a good few twists! It was a good quick read with a solid ending. If you like Kiersten Modglin, Daniel Hurst or Frieda McFadden you will love this authors writing style too.

My second book by this author, and it did not disappoint! Imagine getting to a rental cabin and someone is already there! And the other couple is very strange. This kept me on edge the whole time and I was astonished and the twist at the end!!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc

This had me hooked from page one. What starts as a seemingly innocent getaway for two couples quickly spirals into something far darker. Secrets simmer beneath the surface, tensions build, and there’s this constant, creeping sense that something isn’t quite right. You can feel it lurking—just out of sight—and that eerie atmosphere never lets up. The twists are perfectly timed, the characters layered with just enough suspicion, and the dread? Unrelenting. It’s the kind of story that burrows under your skin and keeps you wide awake, questioning everything. A must-read for fans of psychological suspense with a chilling edge.

The Other Couple is a twisty, can’t put down Thriller that is about a couple trying to take a weekend getaway with their baby. They find that there is already a couple staying at the cabin.

This book kept me guessing until the end. It reads like a Frieda McFadden book. So fans of Frieda McFadden rejoice!

I loved it and will look into other works by this author.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

Lainey and her husband David are going on their first vacation with their adopted baby Jonah. When they arrive at their rented house, they find there’s been a mix up and another couple are all ready there. As the two couples prepare to share a weekend Lainey and David are worried. The other couple are strange, and there is talk that the previous occupants of the house were murdered. But with a tree down and no way out, can they survive the weekend.

This one definitely had a creepy factor! I could feel the characters fear quite strongly! The descriptions of the weather and darkness were very atmospheric and added to a feeling of terror. As a reader we never really find out why the other couple are so strange until the end, again adding to the suspense. The ending though-completely unexpected and out the blue! What a shocker!

This is the first book that I’ve read by Jack Dane, but it won’t be the last. I was hooked from the first page and I devoured this book. I read it in 3 hrs. That’s how great it was. It had a gripping plot and several amazing twists that I didn’t see coming. Can’t wait to read more by this author.

I really enjoyed this, it had all the good makings of a great thriller! We get straight into the action at the beginning and there are lots of questionable things happening to make you guess what is really going on! The characters were well written and easily made me think I knew who could and couldn’t be trusted!
I loved the sudden unpredictable plot twist at the end which I never saw coming, as I always love a big reveal at the end of a good thriller!

ARC kindly provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for the ARC. This was a very quick read and short chapters. The book did hold my interest but was missing thrill for me. The last 10% of the book held all the interesting details which I didn’t see coming.

Lainey and David and their baby, Jonah are on a mini vacation to a remote house, but when they get there in awful weather, there is a couple already there.
The other couple are strange to say the least, and armed.

Gripping from the first page. You can feel the creepiness within minutes of the first chapter.
I was half right in my prediction of the identities of all parties.... but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of this novel.
Shivers up my spine all the time and felt as helpless as Lainey and David were.

And the final twist. Can't say more. I recommend.
