Secrets secrets secrets!!! Everybody has earth-shattering secrets. And they're barely hanging on to keep their lives together without coming apart at the seams. This was a twisty one!
The New Marriage is full of terrible characters, lying and hiding their way through the story. With plot twists at the end of every chapter and drops of foreshadowing thru out, I had to read on to see where all this was going!
Drama!
I was going to give this a 3 from a solid 3.5 for being above the average page turner thriller, but I just loved the ending! It was spectacular! 4 stars!
Thank you, Netgalley, publisher, and author for the ARC.

Let me tell you, this book is like a rich cup of coffee – a little bitter, a lot addictive, and with a kick that’ll keep you wide-eyed and awake at 2 a.m. The story is an absolute wild ride between Mark and Drew, a couple with more secrets than a gossiping high schooler. Let’s just say, trust is about as fragile as a cheap wine glass here.
Drew, the wife, is already giving me heart palpitations. I mean, the woman is hiding an envelope under her bed that could blow up her whole world, and on top of that, her real name isn’t even what her husband thinks it is. Imagine the tension, like the air right before a storm. And speaking of storms, Mark? Well, he’s hiding his own skeletons, but they’re a lot more dangerous. Their twisted dance of lies is like watching a fire burn out of control, but you can’t look away.
The writing? L.G. Davis has a knack for making you feel everything. The tension? You could cut it with a knife. The secrets? They practically scream at you from the page, begging to be uncovered. The sensory details are spot on—whether it’s the smell of Drew’s freshly brewed coffee or the weight of the lies between these two, Davis pulls you in, gets you comfy, and then bam! It’s like a plot twist to the face.
Character development? Oh, honey. These characters are complex—torn between love and betrayal, secrets and truth. They’re flawed, they’re messy, and they will have you questioning every “good guy/bad guy” assumption you’ve ever had. You think you know what’s coming? Think again.
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, page-turning thriller that’ll have you gasping in shock, The New Marriage is a must. Just be warned, your jaw might need some time to get back in place after the twists.

The New Marriage
by L.G. Davis
Pub Date: Apr 29 2025
First I want to thank author L. G. Davis for writing such a fantastic book filled with tension, secrets, great characters and a fast-paced, page-turning thriller! At only 272 pages this utterly unputdownable psychological thriller will keep you hooked until the final page!
Synopsis: They seem so happy. It’s all a lie… My hands shake as I hand Mark his coffee, his rich caramel eyes heavy after another sleepless night. I know he’s hiding something, and it’s bad.
I take the steaming mug from Drew, remembering the first time I saw her by the hospital coffee machine. She was grieving too and now we have a second chance at happiness. But now I know what she’s been hiding in that box of old photographs, where she thought I’d never look. My wife has been lying about who she is.
Many thanks to #TheNewMarriage #NetGalley and #Bookouture for providing me an E-ARC of this 5 STAR psychological thriller!

A good thriller with lots of twists and turns. Everyone is lying and hiding sinister secrets. Unreliable characters make it more interesting. Multiple viewpoints increase the suspense. Drew, Mark, Sarah, and Jason all have dark regrets. As everything revealed in the end, it was shocking. Fast-paced chapters with a chilling climax. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC

Did not love this one, didn’t even like the main character. Last few chapters were good. Ending sucked.
