I loved this book. I thought I had the ending all figured out and knew who did what until right at the end where the truth came out and I did not expect any of those twists. It will definitely be living rent free inside my brain for quite some time.

I don't think I have read anything by this author before and honestly I don't know why. Fast paced full of suspense, short snappy chapters. I read this in one sitting I couldn't put it down

This is my new favourite L.G. Davis book. I was totally blindsided by the twists. Short, intense chapters told from various POVs and alternating between Then and Now keep this fast paced thriller moving. Ohhhh, so many lies! It was a ‘couldn’t stop reading’, one day read for me. I can’t wait for her next book!
Thank You to NetGalley, Bookouture, and L.G. Davis for the opportunity to read and thoroughly enjoy this ARC.

mind-bending psychological thriller that keeps you questioning everything. The story follows [protagonist’s name], whose life spirals out of control after [inciting incident]. As paranoia sets in, reality blurs, and the line between truth and deception vanishes.

Excellent written book. I found myself reading into the wee hours of the night and begging for more. It is a book that had many twists and turns.

This was y third book by this author. I have found their writing style to be engaging and it definitely keeps me wanting to know what will happen next. I enjoyed the plot overall but didn't find the story to ve relatable or believable. It's a solid 3.5 stars from me!

There were a lot of layers to this domestic thriller, which I really enjoyed. I thought the plot was going to be standard and straightforward--it was anything but! Main character Drew is newly married to Mark, who is still grieving his dead wife. Even though he's dedicated to building a life with her, Drew still feels her presence everywhere. To make matters worse, Mark's sister was good friends with her and uses every chance she gets to remind Drew that she's unwelcome.

Then Drew finds herself in a desperate situation--she finds a lottery ticket that ends up being a big winner. But in order to claim the prize, she'll get a lot of public attention, and that's the last thing she wants. The reader is aware that she's hiding something, but to give up almost a million dollars? Her secret must be a big one.

The last 30% or so, everything just became unhinged, and I couldn't read quickly enough. All the lies (and there are SO many) are exposed, and everyone involved reaches a boiling point. The twists were cleverly done, and I will definitely be reading more of this author's work! Thank you so much to Bookouture for this early copy. This title will publish April 29, 2025.

I picked up this book because I loved the cover. I was not sure what to expect, but I ended up loving it. I would definitely recommend people to read.

Name :- The New Marriage
Author :- L.G. Davis
Genre :- Psychological Thriller
The New Marriage by L.G. Davis is a psychological thriller that grips you from the first page and doesn’t let go until the very last twist. It’s a story built on lies, secrets, and a marriage where nothing is as it seems. Drew and Mark appear to have found solace in each other after their respective losses, but their new marriage is far from perfect. Drew has a past she’s desperate to keep hidden — so much so that even her real name is a secret. Under their bed lies an envelope containing a truth that could destroy everything. But Mark has his own secrets, including what really happened to his first wife. As suspicion grows and hidden motives start to surface, their seemingly perfect marriage spirals into a dangerous game of deception. Both know the other is lying — but neither knows just how dark those lies really are.

Oh my god this book is phenomenal. It was twist after twist honestly they just kept coming. I was in shock so many times. This book had me hooked!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for providing this book, with my honest review below.

The New Marriage dives into a mystery within a mystery within a mystery, and I while that may seem over complicated rest assured, this was as engaging as it was a solid thriller to read.

Drew and her new husband Mark are struggling to make ends meet - sure they have a great marriage, despite constant reminders of Mark’s first wife around the house and his too close for comfort and too rude to Drew sister, but financial troubles are bearing down on the couple. It feels like the lucky break they need when Drew finds a lottery ticket, but this opens up a whole host of issues, starting with Drew being terrified that by claiming the prize her past will catch up with her and her son.

Super twisty, everyone in this book is hiding something and some of those secrets are crazy (just suspend disbelief here), but unlike other stories where getting from A to B is way too far a leap, The New Marriage makes sense in terms of the story. I enjoyed this thriller in a sea of similar concepts that aren’t as well done, so if you’re a vet of the genre I think you’d quite like it, and if you’re new to it, this will have you picking up more thrillers and mysteries.

OH MY GOD THIS BOOK IS INSANE!! that ending omg I did not see coming. This had so many twists and turns. Liz you're so talented. I enjoyed this so much.

A tense thriller full of secrets and lies, and lots of shocking twists and turns. A good read, recommended!

This is the first book I have read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was fast-paced and suspenseful and just when I thought I had it figured out, I didn’t. I would definitely read more by this author.

This is a fabulous domestic thriller and another great read by L.G Davies. I really enjoyed it!
I was hooked early and couldn’t put it down. It’s packed with twists and turns. I’d definitely recommend this one.

Wow wow wow I never say this about books and here I am -I'm speechless!! I've just finished The New Marriage and have no words. In a good way! What a rollercoaster of a page-turner. If you're only going to read one book this year, read this one!

This is my second novel by LG Davis, and once again, it was an enjoyable psychological thriller with strong character development. After having encountered numerous setbacks in her life, Drew is getting a second chance at happiness with her new marriage to Mark. But Mark has suffered his own tragedies, including the horrific death of his beloved first wife, and Drew's new sister-in-law makes it clear to the new bride she will never take the place of Mark's true love. The story unfolds at a good pace, with secrets and lies unveiled along the way. A fast-paced and enjoyable read.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy. All thoughts are my own.

Blurb: Marc and drew are newly married both with mysterious pasts that they don’t want eachother to find out about Marc’s sister is determined to get rid of Drew but Drew isn’t going down without a fight. Once Marc finds out Drew’s secret he’s worried she’s going to find out his. Will this be the end of their marriage? Or is there “perfect” marriage all a lie?

Opinion: I always judge a book by the prologue (I know a terrible habit, but one I can’t break). If the prologue grasp my attention I am excited to read further but, if it doesn’t capture my attention I dread reading on. Thankfully this book capture my attention by leaving off with an insane cliffhanger. I absolutely loved this book, each chapter had me on the edge of my seat grasping at straws trying to figure out what’s going on before the novel ends. I have to say the last 35% of the book had me on the edge of my seat so much was happening and everything was coming to a hault. I am so mad at myself that I wasn’t able to figure out what was happening before the book ended but, I did throughly enjoy this read. It held my attention, kept my on my toes and made me want to not put it down.

This was a fantastic book! The ending was amazing, with tons of twists and turns that I wasn't expecting. I've read a handful of books by this author, and I've loved every single one. She is an amazing author! I definitely recommend this book (and author) to other thriller readers!
