Twist

by Alice Feeney

SOMETIMES ONE HUSBAND IS NOT ENOUGH.
Flight attendant Ariella has perfected the art of the double life. In a picture-postcard village, she plays the charming wife to wholesome Noah and the loving mother to their daughter. But in London, she is the glamorous new bride of Luka, living in a luxurious penthouse high above the city. Ariella believes you can have more than one soulmate—and you might as well.

Darcy is not like Ariella. She lives on a quirky London street, is married to her perfect partner, and has never wanted more. Because Darcy believes in the one.

But everyone knows that marriage can be murder.

When a husband is killed, his wife wants to know who did it—and why. But can we ever really know the person we marry? One thing is for sure: She’s about to learn how far people will go to protect the secrets of a perfect marriage—or two.

EVERY GOOD LOVE STORY HAS A PLOT TWIST.

YUP!!!! when a book by Alice Feeney shows up on your doorstep, you drop everything and read it immediately. i don’t make the rules!!!!

this book is out feb 2027 but my friends at Flatiron gifted me an early copy and i of course loved every minute of it. Alice is one of my fave thriller authors and one of the BEST out there and readers will be so pleased with her upcoming release.

in true Alice fashion, this book is very bingeworthy—and once you start, you won’t want to stop. expect twists until the very last page 🤯 i simply love her writing & mind, no one does psychological thrillers like Alice. it doesn’t beat out HIS & HERS for me, but i still very much enjoyed it.

the more you go in blind the better, but what you should know is there are two women, a few husbands, and one that turns up dead 👀

this one felt more “complex” than some of her others but had the usual twist & turns… all the way until the final pages!!! i’m not sure i fully knew where this one was going (per usual) but i was surely entertained and surprised. the one thing that lost me a bit was the mom/dad plot… but i’m zipping the lips there 🤐

thanks to Flatiron! get excited for this come February 🖤📖

🔥BANGER BOOK BUZZ🔥

Somebody call the chiropractor because I got a strong case of whiplash! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 My jaw was living on the floor y’all!

When it comes to the MULTIMILLION-COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR …… you don’t really need a synopsis, do you?

Sometimes one husband is just not enough. But, what happens when one of them is murdered?

That’s it! That’s all you need. Trust me. Once you start, there’s no turning back. Cancel ALL of your plans because Feeney is about to destroy them! PERIOD!

This novel really blew me away! Twist has got to be her best novel yet and that’s a hard title to take. The fans are going to eat this one up and the anticipation is hot!

Twist is the one you must pre-order because who wants to miss out on the twistiest thrillers of 2027?

Loved it! Consumed it! Won’t stop thinking about it! Highly recommend!

5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Huge thanks to Flatiron Books for the gifted copy.

Out 2/2027

And for the record, she’s a hit or miss for me and this one was definitely a hit!

Twist is one of the most convoluted stories I have ever read. Each chapter has a new surprise, and you won’t want to put it down until you see what comes next. Alice Feeney has outdone herself with this one, but the title should really be Twist, after Twist, after Twist.

[ᯓ★ emely ⋆˚✿˖° · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

4,5/5 ⭐️

it is genuinely so hard to review this book without spoiling anything, but just know that the title is probably the best possible description because this book is literally twist after twist after twist. i had my jaw on the floor every other page. 😭

i had an absolute blast reading this and basically inhaled it in under two days. alice feeney just has this way of pulling you straight into the story and making you desperate to know EVERYTHING. the characters and themes were incredibly interesting and well crafted, and the pacing was pretty much spot on.

my only criticism is that some of the passages about marriage, love, etc. felt a little rambly and started to become repetitive the further we got into the story. but honestly, other than that: a must-read!

Thank you, flatiron_books, @pineandcedar_books, @macmillanusa, and @netgalley for my gifted copy. Pub date 2/23/27.

Holy freaking cow, TWIST is Alice Feeney's best book yet! There is no possible way you will be able to figure out the ending, and if you think you predicted it, you’re wrong, because the twists in this book are amazing, and there are a lot of them! @fifthseason already announced they are adapting  TWIST into a TV series, and I already can't wait! Pre-order, beg for this book on NetGalley, whatever you have to do to get your hands on it!

Go into this one blind, but just ask yourself, can any of us truly know another person? Like, truly?

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝. 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡.

TWIST was absolutely brilliant. Ariella has perfected the art of living two completely different lives. In one, she's the charming wife of wholesome Noah and devoted mother to their daughter. In another, she's the glamorous new bride of Luka, living the high life in London. Then a husband turns up dead, and suddenly all those carefully protected secrets surrounding these marriages start coming apart. Enter Darcy, who believes in one soulmate and one happily-ever-after, and somehow these women's lives become tangled in ways I never could have predicted.

This book was fiendishly clever in so many ways. Ariella is bold, assertive, crass, and spectacularly narcissistic. She is the kind of character who both repels and fascinates; you want to applaud her audacity and judge her vulgarity. But what really got me was the way Feeney plays with the idea that our fate can become intertwined with that of a total stranger. One seemingly insignificant connection can set off a chain of events you never could have anticipated, and I loved watching those connections reveal themselves. The wordplay was so well done, and the clever way each chapter played off the last was flawlessly executed.

I don't want to say too much because the less you know going in, the better, but TWIST is clever, unpredictable, darkly funny, and completely confident in its ability to manipulate reality. I was suspicious of everyone, trusting no one, and constantly trying to get one step ahead of the story. Everything about this worked for me, and I'm so grateful to Flatiron Books for providing me an early copy. This title will publish February 23, 2027.

TWIST AFTER TWIST AFTER TWIST!!! 🤯🤯

Twist is EXACTLY what the title promises! I don’t want to say too much and give anything away because trust me, you want to get the full experience of this book.
Ariella is living two separate lives, with two husbands who have no idea about each other. But when a murder happens… all of the secrets start to come out.

The title is SO perfect for this book because it really is twist after twist! Alice Feeney certainly knows how to keep you on your toes and she delivered with this one.

If you love unpredictable thrillers, messy relationships, dark secrets, and twists that keep on comin’, you’re going to want this one!!!

📚 Added the new Alice Feeney to my TBR.

💊 Added paracetamol to my shopping list.

One is for entertainment. The other is for the buzzing in my head from these plot twists. 🤯😂📖

Twist by Alice Feeney. Thanks to flatiron for the gifted Arc ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Ariella isn’t one for monogamy, which is why she lives a double life with different husbands. Darcy is different - she believes in one soul mate and she has him. When a husband is killed, it brings these women together in unexpected ways

While the title is the detective’s last name, it’s still perfect for the book because there are several twists involved. The entire story is one big twist and web of deception. There’s a lot to get through, but it is still easy to understand and not too complicated. You’ll love to hate the main character, and a lot of the side characters make the story as well.

“There are several women living inside every woman. We all choose which one to be and which ones not to be every day. An army of living, breathing, Russian Dolls.”

Read if you like:
-Domestic thrillers
-Deception and lies in thrillers
-Police investigations

Twist comes out 2/23.

WHOA! This was brilliant!

[Maria · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

I was screaming when I got an ARC of this book. I highly recommend you put this on your TBR for 2027 because it's soooo good.
I see why this book is called Twist, non stop twist after twist. There was something that was done in each chapter that I loved, it added to the story. Trying not to say too much, don't want to spoil anything. All I'll say is if you like Alice Feeney read this, it's a lot of fun, it will have your head spinning from all the twists.

[Krysti · Rating 5 out of 5]

The title Twist was absolutely the perfect way to sum up this book, because the twists start early, they hit hard, and they just keep on coming! Alice Feeney has mastered the art of the plot twist. I can’t think of anyone who does it better or in a more entertaining way than she does. And Twist might be one of her twistiest yet.

At the center of the story is Ariella, a flight attendant who has somehow managed to build not one, but TWO seemingly perfect lives. In one, she’s a devoted wife and mother living in a picturesque village with her husband Noah. In the other, she’s the glamorous new wife of Luka, living in a luxurious London penthouse. Ariella believes there’s no reason a person can’t have more than one soulmate. What could possibly go wrong?! Wellll, A LOT.

This book is deliciously messy, wildly entertaining, and completely addictive. Every time I thought I had figured out where the story was headed, Feeney dropped another revelation that made me rethink everything I thought I knew. And then she did it again. And AGAIN.

Dramatic, clever, compulsively readable, and SO much fun.

[Cari · Rating 4 out of 5]

Typical Feeney fare with a propulsive plot and gaspworthy twists. This one was fun. I always get a little lost towards the end when the twists are coming a mile a minute, and there's always so many unrealistic scenarios. But with the exception of a few, I always enjoy her work. I was happy to get an early copy.

[Prologues and Prosecco · Rating 5 out of 5]

Let’s all bow down to the QUEEN of …pun intended ..” Twists”. Every Alice Feeney book is better than the last and this one has been hands down my favorite thriller of her. Ariella is a woman who loves being in love , and doesn’t mind being a bigamist. If only her husbands were aware of this! Darcy is a recent widow who feels like there is more to the hit and run of her husband. Buckle up readers …this is one you don’t want to miss

[Chandler · Rating 4.5 out of 5]

As per usual, I LOVED Feeney’s newest. I do think some of it a bit more unrealistic/hard to believe (conflict of interest, legalities, etc) which is what took it down a teeeeny bit for me, but BOY was this full of twists & turns, in true Feeney fashion. So good!!!

[Stacey · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

A perfect title for this story! Once I started I couldn’t put it down!

This was a twisty read with two main characters that have big secrets.
Not my favorite Feeney read, but on brand.

Absorbing all of the twists in this one broke my brain a bit, lol. I thought I had some of it figured out & then Alice Feeney was like not so fast, dummy. A fun read!

“Every good love story has a plot twist.”
💍
Ariella has mastered the art of living two completely separate lives. In a picturesque village, she's a devoted wife and mother to Noah and their daughter. In London, she's the glamorous newlywed wife of Luka, enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Meanwhile, Darcy believes in finding one soulmate and building a life together. But when a husband is murdered, carefully constructed marriages begin to unravel, exposing dangerous secrets, hidden motives, and the terrifying realization that you might not know your spouse at all.
💍
Oh. My. Gosh. I have LITERALLY never read a more TWISTY thriller book in my life. If Feeney wasn’t already one of my top writers of this genre, this one put her at the top. I love a good twist or two in a murder mystery, but this was almost every single chapter ending on a cliffhanger and changing to another POV and I was obsessed. I love the contrast between Ariella's belief in multiple soulmates and Darcy's commitment to finding the one. It created such an interesting foundation for exploring trust, fidelity, and how well we actually know the people we marry. This has all the ingredients I love in a twisty domestic thriller: unreliable characters, complicated relationships, shocking secrets, and plenty of reasons to suspect EVERYONE! This title releases 2/23!

CW: bigamy, murder, violence, blood, grief, death, parental abandonment, emotional abuse, infidelity, missing person, agoraphobia, PTSD, gun violence

[Cheryl Barnes · Rating 4.75 out of 5]

Wow, wow, wow! Twist by Alice Feeney had my brain twisted like a pretzel!

The first quarter of the book was a bit of a slow burn, but then—WHAM!—the craziness blew wide open, and I absolutely could not put it down.

The story follows two very different POVs. Arielle is a flight attendant married to Noah, and they have a four-year-old daughter. But Arielle always wants more. As if one husband isn’t enough, she also has another husband—the very wealthy Luka Gold.

Then there’s Darcy, who couldn’t be more different from Arielle. She is a police detective married to Finn, a librarian. When Finn is killed by a hit-and-run driver, Darcy becomes determined to find the person responsible.

What follows is a wild ride of secrets, lies, and absolutely crazy plot twists. As the story unfolds and the connections and crossovers between the characters begin to come together, I was hanging on for dear life!

Alice Feeney is definitely the queen of the thriller twist, and once again, she delivers a story filled with unbelievable surprises that kept me guessing.

This is definitely one for your TBR list! Run to get it!

Thank you Pine & Cedar for the advanced copy of this book! The way I absolutely squealed when I got the approval email 🤭

If you’ve been around me for any length of time, you likely know that I’m obsessed with Alice Feeney’s thrillers. I like my thrillers dark and full of twists & turns I never see coming… and this one absolutely hit the spot!

Feeney’s upcoming novel is jam packed with delicious and unhinged story lines, told in alternating POV’s from two very different women. It explores the complexities of marriage, motherhood, family, and balancing those alongside a career. It is addictive in its storytelling, hooking the reader from the very first chapter and not letting go until the very end.

My mind is still reeling from the action-packed and eerie roller coaster that was this book, moving it into my top three favorites of her books (Rock Paper Scissors will always be #1).

[Becky · Rating 2.5 out of 5]

I think there comes a time when too many twists & turns ruin the actual story.

[Diksha Patel]

Alice Feeney is officially an auto-buy author for me, so the moment I saw the cover reveal for her new book, I was already counting down to February 2027.

The synopsis alone has me intrigued, but then Freida McFadden described it as having “more twists than a rollercoaster” and, well... what exactly was I supposed to do with that information? Sit patiently until February 2027? Absolutely not.

So here I am, reviewing a book I haven't even held yet because apparently my anticipation has gotten ahead of my reading.

February 2027, please hurry up. I have a book to read and a review to write.
