DESCRIPTION:

He killed his first wife. But I married him to protect my own secrets…

I never expected to find my happily ever after with Dr Mitch Ellis. I wore a lace dress with an extravagant train to our wedding at the biggest church in town. Mitch wanted to be sure everything was flawless. Now I can see I’ve made a grave mistake. Mitch wants me to be his quiet, perfect little wife, just like his last one. He doesn’t know who he is dealing with this time.

He thinks I haven’t noticed her jewellery still tucked away in our room. And that the details on her death certificate don’t add up. He believes I’m happily under his thumb, sunning myself all day by his pool where his staff can keep an eye on me.

Mitch should pay for what he did to the woman before me, and I won’t let him get away with it this time…

Unmarried is a totally gripping psychological thriller packed with twists, perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, The Perfect Marriage and Gone Girl .

MY THOUGHTS:

Aimee is preparing to marry Mitch, but she’s bringing far more to this union than a simple “I do.” Behind her poised exterior lies a plan—one that promises happiness for her, but for deeply sinister reasons. This isn’t a marriage built on love or trust; it’s a union forged by a contract and bound by a dark, buried secret. Mitch may walk into the relationship with high hopes, but he quickly discovers he hasn’t married a sweet, compliant wife. Aimee has plenty of surprises in store, and none of them are good.

To fully appreciate the tension and twisted dynamics at play, I strongly recommend reading Uninvited by Emily Shiner first. It sets the stage beautifully and provides the context that makes Unmarried even more gripping.

Ashley Rose Kaplan delivers an outstanding narration, adding intensity and atmosphere to every chapter. This psychological thriller never lets thanks to tight pacing, with sharp twists. It just might keep you on tenterhooks right through the final page.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
