The Cabin in the Woods

Product Information

Hannah and Bruce have a baby daughter and it will be their first time really leaving her behind. Hannah struggles with the choice a lot, but her mother-in-law is more than capable of babysitting while they're away.

To me, this story really suffered from trying to do too much. I didn't feel like the multiple perspectives, or alternating storylines, meshed well together at all.

This is my first Lisa Unger novel, and now I understand why she’s a beloved thriller author. In “Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six”, she has dueling plots which leaves the reader wondering how this is supposed to meld. Never fear dear reader, it does in a crazy way.

Yes, it was a skull, but not an animal. It was unmistakably human. She found herself transfixed by the dark eyeholes, moved in closer. There are two kinds of unreliable narrators: those who deliberately mislead under the cover of drugs/alcohol/amnesia, and those who simply don’t reveal the whole truth. The second works much better for readers as they discover truths when they are unveiled, without making them feel like they were being fooled earlier. Rose is in the second category. She doesn’t lie, she just doesn’t tell you the whole truth. It is like a game, trying to figure out if she’s misleading you.Reilly, Luke (April 14, 2015).

She finished her first novel, Hunting Lila (winner of the Kingston Book Award), just before they left the UK, wrote the sequel on the beach in India and had signed a two book deal with Simon & Schuster by the time they had reached Bali. Some of the pleasure of the first (and best) part of The Cabin in the Woods comes from trying to see just over the narrative horizon and figure out what these incompatible sets of clichés have to do with each other. Two distinct kinds of movie are being yoked, by violence, together, and the performers inhabit their familiar roles with unusual wit." [48] Accolades [ edit ] Award Just what could be bad enough to cause a woman who has come from poverty and married into money, to leave it all behind? Therein the story lies. Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is the first book I've read by Lisa Unger. I found it on NetGalley and decided it was time to give the author a chance. And it worked out. I thoroughly enjoyed the book for many reasons. We get a few chapters to meet a dysfunctional family; one where two siblings have a bond, but their mother is a loon, it seems. She waffles between nice and mean, is very controlling, and definitely has a chip on her shoulder. No one wants to take the DNA tests they receive as a mysterious Christmas gift that year. Then the story switches to another set of characters who tug a our heartstrings. Immediately I thought - a switched at birth storyline. But no... I won't tell you if that's the truth or a quip. Find our for yourself, friends!The pacing was great. The big mystery unfolds satisfyingly with the message: you are able to choose your own family by creating your inner circle. people who are so close to each other, carrying the heavy baggage of dirty secrets gather to enjoy weekend getaway at a luxury cabin in the woods with spectacular views, private chef, hot tube. And guess what? The place is called Overlook !!!( even the name is red flag. You expect to be welcomed by Grady Twins to be ushered to the Redrum) Unger takes these two threads and weaves them together in a way I certainly wasn't expecting, but one that I found very satisfying. I listened to most of this book as an audio but switched to digital for the final third when my ear--buds died. An easy transition, though it didn’t clear up my confusion. Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six is a psychological thriller about three couples who vacation in a luxury cabin in the woods of Georgia. With the threat of a hurricane, hidden motives come to light, affairs are revealed, and a dark secret is unearthed, culminating in murder.

All I can say is holy cow! Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six, a spellbinding book about learning to let others stand on their own two feet, right versus wrong, and what constitutes family, is blindingly good. From the slow burn first half that was full of well-crafted domestic suspense to the twists and turns of the psychological thriller last half that was a riveting, suspense-filled rollercoaster ride, this novel did not disappoint.DISCLOSURE: Thank you to Legend Press for providing a digital ARC of Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six by Lisa Unger for review.
