Behind Closed Doors

3 1 2 stars Okay, listen up This book is not the next Gone Girl Don t let anyone tell you that It just isn t It s not that kind of twisty, secretive book at all It s the kind of fast paced, pulpy read that plays with your emotions without ever making you think too hard But, so help me, I could not put it down.karen nailed it when she described this book as being fuelled by its action, not its suspense The story actually gives up its secrets almost immediately in fact, most of you probably figure [...]

I finished this book late last night and I still can t stop thinking about it I have been wanting to read Behind Closed Doors for quite some time When it was available on NetGalley I requested it right away but unfortunately was denied I think that just made me want it So when I finally got my hands on it I just had to put everything else aside and start reading And I was pulled in right away Possibly some very minor spoilers The perfect marriage or the perfect lie The story alternates between [...]

Behind Closed Doors is terribly frightening.Especially since it s not far fetched It s realistic in a scary, can t fall in love blindly any and I need to scrutinize my boyfriend kind of way.It s terrifying because it s a story that could happen to anyone Even the most vigilant of human beings can be duped by a genuine smile and gentlemanly gestures.I stayed up all night to finish this book, which shows how determined I was to see how everything would play out in the end for Grace and Jackass Jac [...]

I ve been dying to read this book every since I first saw the blurb about it I knew it wasn t going to be pretty and I have an un holy attraction to books about psychos I don t want to give up too much of the book because the biggest draw for it is the twisty parts of it Grace has not had too much luck with men She has a younger sister Millie who has Down s syndrome, and most men kind of back off once they realize that Grace is Millie s primary caregiver and that she isn t going to change that.T [...]

Find all of my reviews at 52bookminimum My first warning should have been The 2016 debut bloggers can t stop raving about Perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train By the time I was finished, there was only one thing that was going to cure my misery WARNING SPOILERS BECAUSE I DON T GIVE ONE GOOD GODDANG BOUT THIS ONE.Grace was a big muckity muck living a jet set lifestyle as a buyer for Harrod s That all changed, however, when she met George Clooney Jack Jack swept Grace into a whirlwind roman [...]

I know a lot of you guys loved this book, but it turned out to be just meh for me It had it s moments and kept me up late last night, but I had a hard time suspending disbelief with this one I don t know why.I listened to the audio version The audio is good It s short and only about 8 hours The narrator does a good job, but the book translated into a Lifetime Movie via audio for me It might be better to read a hardcopy of it.Thank you to Lisa for recommending it to me She loved the book and so m [...]

Behind Closed Doors will capture your mind and keep your heart prisoner until the very last page I finished Behind Closed Doors about half an hour ago, and my heart still feels like it s racing, probably not helped by me forgetting to breathe throughout the majority of the book I found myself wishing I could read faster, just so I had a chance to catch my breath Make sure you read this with a glass of wine or a box of chocolates, as they may save your life by distracting you from the story long [...]

Check out of my reviews at bookaddicthavenWhew This was certainly one creepy and screwed up story I expected it to be really messed up, but not in quite the way that it was A pervasive sense of uneasiness stayed with me the entire time that I was reading this book CreepyVery creepy.The book opens with a dinner party at Jack and Grace s home Jack is a successful attorney, well known for advocating for battered women Grace is the soft spoken, elegant wife Everything about their life seems to be t [...]

UPDATE 11 3 16 2.99 on kindle Not sure for how long My initial reaction during the beginning of this book was, What The Hell Is Going On I knew it wasn t good and I had an idea but ideas are never totally what your thinking Jack Angel is a lawyer and his wife Grace used to be a lot of things but she s not any Oh, she s the perfect hostess when people are allowed to come over, but things are never what they seem When I found out what was going on, all I could see was kill him NOW How much I loat [...]

I received a copy of Behind Closed Doors by B.A Paris from NetGalley for an honest review My thanks to NetGalley, St Martin s Press, and to B.A Paris for the opportunity Gaslighting Flip the switch Move over Charles Boyer and Ingrid Bergman This one is lit up and burning bright.Jack and Grace Angel appear to be in love and so taken with one another A dinner party showcases Grace s extraordinary culinary fete and highlights Jack s lavish attention upon his wife and their guests Their posh home re [...]

I have voted in 2 categories for this book in the 2016 awards and with good reason You know that couple that looks SO perfect for each other The ones that click together in every way when you see them and you feel a jealous twang that you don t have the same thing Sometimes what you see on the outside can be very deceptive, never ever judge a book by it s cover, always read the fine print in the middle Behind Closed Doors is a chilling and atmospheric psychological thriller that I predict will b [...]

5 oh oh oh stars Holy moly what a ride I HAD to find out what happened, so seriously, I stayed in bed until NOON, with no thoughts of family, friends, or world chaos Dry eye made the words blurry, but who cares And food Is that really necessary My only necessity was finding out how this story turned out, to get me out of the claustrophobic terror created by a holy shit psychopath It was some tense This guy Jack is one sick psycho Just when I think he can t get any worse, he outdoes himself and t [...]

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILER Diving into the spoiler Molly could only have been dead a few days at the most, because her body hadn t started to decompose Jack had been very clever in that respect he had left her some water, but not quite enough to last her two weeks until we got home The shock of finding her dead was terrible The look of malevolent anticipation on Jack s face as he opened the door to the utility room had prepared me for something that he had left her tied up for the two we [...]

2.5 Stars An page turning debut novel but a ridiculously flawed conclusion There seems to be a great deal of new releases on the best sellers lists for psychological thriller style novels about relationships between married couples and they all seem to be readable but quite mediocre and this was among one of three that I downloaded that has fantastic reviews but failed to deliver a satisfying and credible ending Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace, successful, newly married, devoted to e [...]

I m not sure if my expectations were hijacked by the hype or if some of the other thrillers suspense novels I ve read this year have set the bar really high, but either way, this didn t exactly work for me I m not saying it was awful or poorly written, it just wasn t anything I would consider special It didn t wow me.For about the first 100 pages, I was all in Sitting on the edge of my seat, excited to see how things were going to unfold with Grace and Jack By all appearances they had the perfec [...]

Enjoyable, even though the psychological pathology and methodology really don t make any sense But it s written in a way that keeps the pages turning, even if the plotting and details are a bit loose and the characterization not hugely complex I m a little surprised to see this described as terrifying and other such adjectives, though Maybe I ve been too hardened by other thrillers and life to find it that exciting But I liked the book overall, especially the note on which it ended.

HOLY MACARONI 4.5 stars This book, seriously I was emotionally gripped from page one I think I could have read it in one sitting but unfortunately, life got in the way of that It was quite hard to put this book down I thoroughly enjoyed the back and forth of the way the story went The author set this story up perfectly and I felt as if I could see it playing out in my mind THIS SO NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE It was emotionally gripping and I felt like I could have been psychologically examined after I r [...]

3.5 Stars This guy is SICK The perfectly plotted lie from movie star handsome and brilliant lawyer Jack Angel turns Grace s day to day life upside down Disbelief, shock and panic turn her honeymoon to Thailand into a living hell, but its what happens upon their return home that awakened my hatred for this sicko wishing him a long and painful death It was then that I didn t only vow to kill Jack, but to make him suffer as he had made Molly suffer After the initial introduction and hasty marriage, [...]

The book opens at a dinner party, held at Jack and Grace s perfect house Jack is a successful lawyer, Grace an ex buyer for the upmarket Harrods store, in London The meal has been brilliantly prepared by Grace, though it s clear she had to expend much energy than she d wanted to deliver to Jack s expected standard One of the guests is a new acquaintance of Jack s and his wife is making slightly bitchy comments to Grace and asking her a series of questions about her life and her relationship wit [...]

Slam Yes, because as the saying goes, what one always sees isn t what necessarily goes on behind closed doors In the case of newlyweds 18 months new jack and grace, the epitome of perfection in every way, there seems to be a.h As Grace is never without Jack The irony is he s a high powered lawyer who defends abused women Yet there are locks and metal shutters on their windows Grace never leaves without him Is it paranoia Or could he himself be the monster he defends I found this just a little to [...]

3.5 Grace has found the man of her dreams A handsome, wealthy man who adores her But equally important to Grace, one that will accept her much younger sister Millie who has Down s syndrome She feels like her ship has finally come in Could she actually have everything she ever wanted Well, according to their friends they live the perfect life but behind those closed doors Oh, darn those closed doors Absolutely frightening The sheer terror of being held at the mercy of a sadistic madman A madman t [...]

I thoroughly enjoyed this debut novel by B.A.Paris and would recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers The novel is told alternating from past to present and builds up the tension page by page Jack and Grace have the perfect life and the perfect marriage Jack is a successful attorney who specialises in cases that involve physically abused women and Grace a professional who gave up her excellent job when she married Jack Jack who at first is a true gentleman turns into a controlling and man [...]

4.5 Stars Jack and Grace have the perfect marriage, right Well, scratch the veneer a little, and there s something really evil lurking beneath.Grace is something of a trophy wife for Jack And as for Jack, I can t really say HOW I feel about him No, I really CAN T say how I feel about him, because it would set me off on a rant, and I d probably give the whole darn plot away Let s just say that you wouldn t want to be married to him no way This is a chilling, claustrophobic, psychological thriller [...]

Jack and Grace Angel seem like the perfect couple They give the best receptions, but this marital bliss is only skin deep They are less beauty and the beast and like Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd I m merely kiddingI think so, at least.Grace is unhappy in her life, which is hell Her sister has Down s Syndrome, and comes to live with the couple Things start to happen I thought the writing was slick and I wanted to read and did read it as fast as I could Jack was a character executed I wish it were li [...]

See this review and like it on bookbastion ___________I ve had such a wonderful year better acquainting myself with suspense thrillers, that at some point you have to wonder when the bubble will burst I m happy to report that this was not that book In fact, this was another whopper that kept me spinning through pages and neglecting daily necessities like food and sleep just so I could fly through it a tiny bit faster As with any suspense book, I find it difficult to really go in depth discussin [...]

The key turns in the lock The door opens and he stands in the doorway, my handsome, psychopathic husband We ve all heard a statement similar to you never know what happens behind closed doors and unfortunately we ve also all encountered an individual or two that we ve thought it about Author B.A Paris used this as inspiration in her first attempt at writing and Behind Closed Doors was born This dark psychological drama is pretty intense and touches on many of the very nonfiction power and contro [...]

Behind Closed Doors Well, that was one frightening and super creepy psychological thriller It made my stomach queasy and my palms sweaty I tore through it so that I could get rid of those feeling of unease as quickly as possible 4 stars.If you have ever dated someone who you felt controlled you, manipulated you, or tried to isolate you from friends and or have you rely solely on them, well then, this book is bound to have made you feel ill I know it did that to me, and I only dated someone like [...]
