Secluded Cabin Sleeps is the newest novel from Lisa Unger. "Three couples rent a remote, luxury cabin in the woods for a weekend getaway. Something is off though. The private chef tells them of the murder that happened there years ago...and the young girl that haunts the lake. The owner is a little creepy and there's a big storm headed their way. But unknown to the group - there's someone lurking in the woods that's unwilling to let secrets lie buried any longer." There are several storylines so this takes a while to get going. There are the usual secrets of a thriller - the previous bad family decisions - a storm knocking the power out - and betrayal. It initially feels like it's going to be an "adults behaving badly" story but Unger adds more. She is one of a growing number of writers who are including the consequences of sharing DNA on geneology sites. Unger hides the bad guy and the betrayal well. There are clues but you're never sure. There is a Brad at the end who gets a paragraph. He's a tech mogul, money launderer who gets decapitated. Again, no love for Brads. Great job on the audiobook by Vivienne Leheny. Lots of voices and characters. Fans of domestic thrillers will enjoy this new story from Unger. Thanks to Harper Audio for the advanced listening copy. Have you sent your DNA to a site?

💬 Happy #shelfiesunday! How was your weekend? . A new thriller I’ve added to my TBR is Confessions on the 7:45 by @launger! Have you read this one yet? Is it on your TBR? . . . s u m m a r y ⇣ Everyone has a secret… Now she knows yours. Selena Murphy is commuting home from her job in the city when the train stalls out on the tracks. She strikes up a conversation with a beautiful stranger in the next seat, and their connection is fast and easy. The woman introduces herself as Martha and confesses that she’s been stuck in an affair with her boss. Selena, in turn, confesses that she suspects her husband is sleeping with the nanny. When the train arrives at Selena’s station, the two women part ways, presumably never to meet again. But days later, Selena’s nanny disappears. Soon Selena finds her once-perfect life upended. As she is pulled into the mystery of the missing nanny, and as the fractures in her marriage grow deeper, Selena begins to wonder, who was Martha really? But she is hardly prepared for what she’ll discover. Expertly plotted and reminiscent of the timeless classic Strangers on a Train, Confessions on the 7:45 is a gripping thriller about the delicate facades we create around our lives. . . . h a s h t a g s ⇣ #confessionsonthe745 #lisaunger #thrillerbooks #livemoremagic #aquietbeauty #asecondofwhimsey #awakethelight #lifestyleinspo #photosinbetween #ofsimplethings #hopetoread #seekinspirecreate #readya #totalbooknerd #bibliophile #booknerd #readersofinstagram #booksofig #bookseverywhere #bookshelf #rainbowshelves #cozystyle #readinglife https://www.instagram.com/p/CHoOISjn0Ky/?igshid=1phxusn15193k

3/5 Stars Pub Date: Oct 6, 2020 2021 Goodreads Goal 3/150

A stalled train and a chance encounter with a stranger turns Selena’s seemingly idyllic life upside down. A few drinks in and seatmate Martha and Selena are fast friends. Martha confesses to recently ending an affair with her boss, and Selena shares her suspicion that her husband his hooking up with the nanny. Wouldn’t it be better if the nanny just disappeared? 

Lisa Unger’s riff on Strangers on a Train is a tepid reimagining of the Highsmith classic, mostly since she isn’t able to sustain the tension that Highsmith was famous for. Any twist and turn leads to a straight line. 

A few years ago I read David W Maurer’s The Big Con, and it was great, but you can only read so much about the same few confidence games before you get bored. Maybe there are too many “Dirty John” stories in the ether at the moment for this to feel fresh in 2020/2021. 

Overall it was a page turner, but the story is so on the tracks that I felt like I knew where this was going the entire time.

Cuando verdaderamente comienzas a conocer a alguien, todas sus características físicas comienzan a desaparecer, comienzas a sumergirte en su energía, a reconocer únicamente su esencia cómo persona, no su capa exterior. Es por eso que no puedes enamorarte de la belleza física; puedes sentir atracción hacia ella, incluso lujuria y deseo, puedes querer poseerla, puedes amarla con tus ojos y tú cuerpo, pero no con el corazón. Y así, cuando realmente tienes una conexión con el ser interior de una persona, cualquier imperfección física desaparece volviéndose irrelevante.

Meredith had a thing in Charlotte so I chauffeured and checked out a couple of bookstores recommended by some Charlotte bookstagrammers. I stopped first at Park Roads Books - a fantastic indie bookstore. Then I headed to Book Buyers - my favorite kind of bookstore with used books stacked to the ceiling. Found some deals after the bookstore cat 🐈‍⬛ helped me out. They had a nice Bama display behind the force field. The owner and his daughter also went to Bama (I’m sure they were there after me 🏈🐘) Are you a fan of used bookstores? #bookbuyersbookstore #usedbooks #charlottenc #queencity #parkroadbooks #bookstorecat #lisaunger #meggardiner #markgreaney #greyman #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookish #bookreview #hardcover #bookcover #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller (at Book Buyers) https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2i-n1LBDw/?utm_medium=tumblr

Books 15 & 16 of 2019. Two thrillers read back to back. Winter nights and thrillers are a match made in heaven. #TheSuspect by #FionaBurton was a well-written, pacy read that was quick and easy but eventually a little bit a disappointment. 2.5/5 Then, I read a short story by #LisaUnger which was really, really good and gave me some psycho vibes but so good! 4/5 ✨✨✨✨ . . . #bookstagram #whimsybookworm2019reads #bookreview #thriller #mystery #quickreads #fiction #bibliophile #bookblogger #bookblog #bookish #bookworm #ebooks #Kindle #kuji #booklovers #booknerdigans #booknerd #reading #readersofig #indianblogger #mumbaiblogger https://www.instagram.com/p/BtRiyYxHNmh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1115tmjn3y8u2

Book 3 of 50: Ink and Bone by Lisa Unger. Most of the time I know what I’m looking for when I walk into a bookstore- but sometimes, sometimes I just wander and see what catches my eye. This one did just that. See that sweet little @handmadecrown cameo 🙋🏻‍♀️ #bookstagram #funkopop #funko #lisaunger #booksaremylife #book #reading #readingchallenge2019 #inkandbone (at Orlea Cave) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdW8NEBgPR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i7yc430sco4t
