When Morgan Murphy's husband Kyle surprises her with an unexpected romantic getaway - after a period when she has become increasingly suspicious that he has been unfaithful to her - Morgan's plan to get to the bottom of things goes badly awry.

While it is Kyle's behaviour that has been under scrutiny, Morgan has now been keeping her own secret. But after narrowly escaping a kidnapping attempt herself, when Kyle goes missing, Morgan really is flummoxed. What is going on?

This is a suspenseful domestic thriller that is well crafted and delivers an entertaining twist at the end. It gets 3.5 stars. Enjoy!

This story starts with Kyle's disappearance during their weekend away, so the tension is immediately palpable. Then you jump into the past and go back a month. Here you can read that Kyle and Morgan's marriage is no longer so good, and Morgan even thinks that Kyle is cheating...

Ultimately you read chapters in the present again and Tara comes across Morgan's path. Tara is a journalist trying to find out what happened to Kyle. And can Morgan herself be trusted?

I thought this story started very well and I was very curious to know what had happened to Kyle. I also thought Morgan was an interesting character, partly because of her past.

You don't really know who to trust and this keeps the story interesting. I did think that the plot would be very different and I don't really know what I think about this yet. Not that it's bad, but I had different expectations.

'A little getaway' was certainly fun to read and I think I will look for more from this author!

This English-language book will be published on October 9. A big thank you to @netgalley for the review copy!

Definitely not what I thought it was going to be but I loved it anyway! Loved the cover. It gives off spooky vibes which is great for spooky season

This book was not spicy despite it being advertised as one lol. It was really quick paced though. From the first page it kicked off the storyline without dragging it out. This book reminded me a lot of the Freida McFadden books with the short chapters and all the twists.

Thank you to NetGalley for a chance to read this ARC.

This book hooked me quickly. A wife planning to punish her husband for infidelity? Sign me up. It quickly turned into something unexpected and not in a good way for me. It was a fast read and kept my attention but I just found the story so unbelievable and also predictable in the end. They got to live happily ever after? Meh.

👏🏻 Loved it! This book was absolutely fantastic. It dragged me and it kept me wanting more! I can't wait to check out more by this author.

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me engaged and it only took a few days to read. I think this is going to be a good book club option for several clubs. I plan recommending to my book friends and I look forward to reading more by this author.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC. This was a fast paced thrilled that kept my heart racing. And it also had a very satisfying ending, which I appreciate!

A quick and twisty read that keeps you guessing. We follow Morgan as she goes through the different stages of figuring out what happened to her husband and who is trying to attack her. Along the way she works with a reporter whose POV we see as well, while she’s trying to figure out if Morgan is lying or not. No one is quite what they seem in this whodunnit.

This was a fun, fast read that checked all the boxes for me. Interesting characters, great writing, cliffhanger chapters. I liked the backstory on both of the female POVs. I got a slight dark comedy vibe in some of the scenes which I enjoyed. I was very surprised at the twist about what happened to Kyle, and the ending was great.

What a great read! It was super fast and really flew through my fingers. I love the idea of a husband going missing on a weekend getaway, but then really the wife was plotting something too. The two female POV characters were interesting and strong, and I liked the frenemies vibe. The ending was perfect for me, wrapped it all up nicely. As for spice, it wasn't spicy for a romance novel, but since some people don't like that in a thriller at all, know that it did have some, but it was related to the plot. Overall, it was refreshing and original. Loved it!

This one wasn't for me.

I'm going to be honest, at the 60% mark I had to double check the genre because this was being marketed as a Spicy Suspense Thriller, and there had been zero spice.

I am a true crime junkie, and when the internet has their sights set on a suspect, they have already been tried and found guilty by public opinion. But an admission of being kinky exonerates someone to the point that everyone is now asking said suspect for intimacy advice? Stop it.
After that point the book went downhill fairly quickly. I was able to predict it all fairly early on, and I failed to connect or like ANY of the characters, making this feel more like a chore to read.

This book was great and was right up my alley in terms of Thrillers.
One of the things I loved most about this book is that the chapters are short, each chapter ends with something that will keep you wanting more and it is a very easy read. I enjoyed that there weren't too many characters involved and that the POV changed in the book just enough to keep you on your toes, but not enough that it ended up being confusing. I also really enjoyed that I could read this in one day and thought the length of the book was perfect for the average reader, and that this would be a great book to get someone into the genre, though I feel this had more mystery vibes than thriller vibes.

My only criticism is that I wish it were a little more fast paced. Although each chapter kept me wanting more, I felt it was lacking in the "thrills" throughout the book. I'm also not sure that the title "A Spicy Suspense Thriller" is wholly appropriate because when most readers think of spice, they think of romance and "smut". I didn't get much of that from this book, although there were a few extremely mild scenes that referenced some level of "spice". I do acknowledge that spice is subjective and what may be considered spicy to some is not spicy at all to others.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to new readers of thrillers or mysteries and to those needing a palate cleanser after a particularly long or challenging book.

Morgan suspects her husband of infidelity, but then he vanishes without a trace. Was Kyle truly unfaithful, or is there another explanation for his disappearance? The clock is running out to figure out what really happened… because she’s in trouble too.

A Little Getaway is a unique, fast-paced thriller. There’s constantly action going on, which keeps you on your toes so you don’t miss important details. Easy-to-read, short chapters help keep the reader engaged throughout. Described as a ‘spicy suspense’, I don’t really think the spice was that heavy (coming from an avid romance reader).

It’s definitely worth a read for a thriller that’s quick and engaging – especially if you’re trying to break a slump.

Thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this digital ARC. All opinions expressed are my own.

The title of this book is just perfect.

It is over the top in it's plot, pacy and really did get me away from life for a while.

A husband disappears after his wife usupects he hs cheating.. but where is he??

I loved this book. It is well written with some fabulous characters and is filled with drama with some added twists.

A Little Getaway is everything a reader needs in a book.. it's divine

This was a really good thriller. A wife suspects her husband of cheating, but then he also disappears. Was he really cheating or was something else going on? What happened to him? Is she in danger too?

This is very fast paced, which I loved. I have read so many books recently that are way too slow and this was the perfect pace. So much going on. So much mystery. It is told mainly from the wife’s point of view, but we also get the point of view of the reporter investigating what happened at times. I loved both of them.

I will say that when it got towards the end, it felt a little bit far fetched which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Other than that, I really enjoyed this and would def recommend it.

Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Oh this book was just fantastic!!!! I could not put it down. It was such a good storyline and the characters were fantastic. Such a good book.

I loved this book! It had so many twists and turns that it had me hooked from the start. Throughout the whole story I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! I also loved all the detail that went into describing each character. You get important backstory information that helps you understand the characters current emotions, feelings and decisions about the things happening around them. Then just when I thought I knew what was going to happen the ending came out of nowhere and blew me away. I would highly recommend reading this book. Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for sharing this story with me.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the eARC.
This is a fun, light read that I enjoyed a lot. The two protagonists are strong females who know how to handle themselves, which I enjoyed. I wasn't too fond of Kyle, he wouldn't have been my choice for a husband!
I read this in one sitting and was pleased with the ending.
Definitely recommended.

A little getaway takes a deadly turn for Morgan and Kyle Murphy in this spicy suspense thriller about a marriage filled with passion, secrets, and suspicions! Good book! This book had light suspense, intrigue, mystery, and a few twists and turns. The story was interesting, it wasn’t one of my top favorites but still worth reading! I Would recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
