Gripping.....Nail-biting.....Compelling read by Triona Walsh. I read this book the minute I was approved because Triona never disappoints. This kept me on the edge of my seat page after page, and, once again, the twist and turns at the end!!

Really, really enjoyed this one! Such a wild ride.

I really enjoyed all the characters and they all have secrets, which made this book SO engaging. You don't find out what's truly going on until the end and I was glued to the page waiting to see what would finally happen when it all came together!

I love the style of giving the reader clues as to what is happening. The story alternates perspectives and you get small twists throughout as you find out more about each character and what is going on. The twist at the end when everything comes together was great and definitely left me shocked. Highly recommend this book!

Thank you Netgalley and the author for the advance copy of this book.

The book showed so much promise when I started reading it. However, I quickly found that many parts seemed quite needlessly drawn out. The book didn't really keep my attention . 2.5 out of 5 ⭐️

“The Other Couple” is a thriller mystery by Triona Walsh. This book was a heck of a ride. From characters with sub-plots (and all seemed untrustworthy) and back-stories to a build-up that seemed pretty incredible. It was very easy to keep track of the separate characters, which isn’t always easy. In general, I’m not a fan of untrustworthy characters, but Mac helped balance things out a bit - at least for me. Not that great a fan of the epilogue, but until that part, a really solid story.

OH! WHAT A READ........

Alice and Finn have booked a holiday in a lighthouse. It is fabulously creepy and when a knock at the door on a rainy night surprises them ..well things really get started.

Finn is Alices boss, they shouldn't be together but that's not the only secret in this twisty tale

Mac and Vivienne, tell the couple they have booked the place for the weekend and Alice thinks there's something amiss with the situation but with the hideous weather Finn convinces her to let the couple stay until they can decide what is going to happen.

Alice is uncomfortable but Finn not at all phased by the couple.. in fact he seems quite at ease..

I loved this book.. it is deliciously menacing and oh so spine chilling.. I loved the ending and how the story developed. I could not put it down...

I loved the setting of this remote Irish lighthouse with such an eerie atmosphere question is can they be trusted? This book had many twist and turns that kept me glued to my kindle.

The characters in this book have many secrets and lies which made the plot even more engaging! I’d highly recommend this book! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A forbidden romance, dark secrets, and a mysterious couple's arrival at a remote Irish lighthouse - what could go wrong? Really enjoyed this read!! The setting of a remote Irish lighthouse added to the eerie atmosphere, and the twists and turns kept me engaged. The characters' secrets and lies made for a compelling story that was hard to put down. I was hooked from the start!

My first read from this author which I thoroughly enjoyed. It was a fast paced thriller read with good characters which kept me involved in the storyline

My only negative point about this was that I found it a bit drawn out in parts and I tended to lose a bit of interest.

Overall I did enjoy this book and I have no hesitation in recommending it. Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC.

Great easy read.
Well written characters and an interesting, slightly different storyline.
Who is keeping secrets?
I read in two sittings.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

This scenario must be such a nightmare. You have planned a romantic weekend away from all your every day problems and when you are hardly settled in, there is a knock on the door. Two unwanted guests stand on the threshold and they are as determined as you are to stay. 

Can they be trusted? Can you be trusted? 

This author's books keep getting better and better!

I loved every part of this story. When you think you know how all the pieces fit, the author lifts the book to the next level by revealing a few juicy bits and I happily gobbled them up.

I liked her last but one book, I loved her last book and I adored this one. 5 stars.

Thank you

The Other Couple was my first by Tríona Walsh, and definitely won't be the last! What a rollercoaster, I don't even know where to begin.

First, we have Alice and Finn. They are totally doing the wrong thing. Finn is a CEO and Alice is his 25-year-old junior analyst. They're "dating" and yes, I am using quotation marks because he's abusing his position of authority and we all know this is not the first time this happens. You've probably guessed already that I despise him and we're only a few pages into the novel. So why do I feel for him when their secret romantic scapade to a remote lighthouse is interrupted by a couple who claim they've also booked the property that weekend?

Enter Mac and Vivienne, who are adamant the property is "theirs" for the weekend. I love Vivienne because he essentially tells Finn the CEO with the 25-year-old girlfriend to take a walk when he suggests they leave. Alice thinks there's something really odd about those two, but Finn convinces her they're alright so they agree to let Mac and Vivienne stay the night until they can talk to someone about the mix-up.

Of course, not everything is what it seems. Who are Mac and Vivienne? and why is Finn so relaxed about them? why did he suggest this place? Alice will soon learn things are about to take a turn....

This is my first book by Triona Walsh and I am speechless. This couple has so many secrets but they will come to the light. This is like being on a roller coaster ride.
