BLOG TOUR REVIEW
Review for 'Just Married' by Kiersten Modglin.
Read and reviewed via NetGalley for Kiersten Modglin, Bookouture publishers and Bookouture anonymous
Publication date 5th July 2021.
This is the first book I have read by this author.
I was originally drawn to this book by its intriguing and mysterious cover and gripping sounding synopsis and title. The synopsis stated that 'Fans of Gone Girl, Behind Closed Doors and Date Night will be utterly gripped'. I am a huge fan of 'Gone Girl' so am looking forward to seeing if this lives up to this statement. I must admit I was also biased due to the publisher being Bookouture. I have yet to read a book published by Bookouture that I haven't enjoyed. Hopefully this won't be the first... Watch this space! (Written before I started reading the book).
This novel consists of a prologue and 29 chapters. The chapters are short in length so possible to read 'just one more chapter' before bed...OK, I know yeah right, but still just in case!
This book is based in Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸.
This book is written in first person perspective and the main protagonists are Ryan, Grace and Janie. The benefits of having both first person perspective with multiple protagonists are that it let's you see the bigger picture of what's going on and you get to know more characters more, what they are thinking and what they are doing. It feels like you get to see the whole picture and not miss out on anything.
OMG!!!! WHAT DID I JUST READ!!!! I DID NOT EXPECT THAT!!! MIND BLOWN MUCH!!!
Wow!!! This book is fantastically written and had me hook, line and sinker from beginning to end. The descriptions were so in depth and vivid that the hair on. My arms was standing on the ends throughout and I could here the trees rustling throughout. The synopsis, title and cover were perfect for the storyline. I was absolutely absorbed throughout this page turner. It is filled with tension, suspense, lies, secrets and omg the twists!!! I DID NOT see any of them coming!!! A MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS Kiersten!! It is getting harder and harder to shock me but by God you did that over and over and over!!! What an ending!!! One of the most gripping unputdownable nerve wracking psychological thrillers I have EVER read!!! You lady have one hell of a talent and I cannot wait to get hold of your previous and future books. I cannot remember the last time I was so creeped out by a book but you managed that big time!!! Do not read this with the lights off and clear your schedule before you start as I read this in one sitting as I could not put it down!! Practically every chapter ended on a cliff hanger so no way could I put it down!! Absolutely hooked!!
Some chapters were set in the past. When books show what has happened in the past and what is happening in the present I find it really helps the reader (if it is well done) understand why things are happening and what has lead to the present activities and decisions. It also shows the bigger picture.
I was completely invested in both the storyline and the characters. Grace and Ryan were both such realistic characters and just wow well I just didn't see ANY of that coming. I can't actually say anything else about them without giving anything away!!!
Welcome to my top authour CLUB Kiersten and your book is one of the best psychological thrillers I have EVER READ!! Bring on the next one!!! I cannot wait!!!
