With Behind Closed Doors, B.A. Paris takes the psychological thriller to shocking new heights. Now she'll hold you captive with this stunning new thriller about one woman wed into a family with deadly intentions.

Amelie has always been a survivor, from losing her parents as a child in Paris to making it on her own in London. As she builds a life for herself, she is swept up into a glamorous lifestyle where she married the handsome billionaire Jed Hawthorne.

But then, Amelie wakes up in a pitch-black room, not knowing where she is. Why has she been taken? Who are her mysterious captors? And why does she soon feel safer here, imprisoned, than she had begun to feel with her husband Ned?

MY REVIEW:

The Prisoner by B.A. Paris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Great story that made me mad, sad and all kinds of in between.
Amelie married Ned for money. He promised her so much money for her to go to law school and only had to be married to him for 30 days.
But that's when things start going wrong and he turns out to be a liar and a whole lot of other bad news.
Amelie had 3 best friends that she met when she moved to town. Her dad had passed away and she had nothing and was starting over. she met Ned through them.
After her and Ned are married they are kidnapped for ransom. As I kept reading this though I had a feeling that they really didn't want her or to hurt her.
I couldn't stop reading and another great book by this author,
Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for this book to review.

Your new husband has a shocking secret. Would your mother-in-law kill to protect it?

From the moment I meet my new mother-in-law in her beautiful country house, she makes it clear I’m not welcome. Lilian Fletcher hates me for marrying her precious boy on a golden beach far away from her.

Starting our marriage living in the Fletchers’ family home is a nightmare. Then I discover Seb was married before and his first wife is dead. I wonder why the man I love didn’t tell me the truth. And I wonder what happened to her: the woman who came before me. How did she die?

Lilian’s steely blue gaze follows me everywhere. Then the accidents start to happen, and I know she is behind them. It starts with small things, like a dropped birthday cake, a spilt glass of wine. But then my mother-in-law accuses me of something terrible. This woman is determined to get me out of her son’s life.

Now I wish I’d never met my handsome, clever husband. Or come to this luxurious house that feels more like a prison.

But I have secrets too. And no-one knows who I really am…

From the USA Today bestselling author, this totally addictive psychological thriller will keep you guessing all the way to the final shocking twist. Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train, Gone Girl and The Wife Between US

MY REVIEW:

 The Daughter-in-Law by Shalini Boland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great book by Shalini Boland and another I couldn't put down.
Seb Fletcher meets Caroline online and decides to go to Australia to meet her. They hit it off and they get married and brings her back to England to be with him and his family. The Mother In Law doesnt like her from the start but Caroline is determined to get in her good graces.
As we keep reading we find out things about Seb. Things he should have told her. But again as in this author's style, we get hit with a few things to make this Psychological Thriller a read you can't put down.
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for the book to review.
