Book Review: Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

Everyone wants a perfect marriage... or do they?

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris follows the story of Jack and Grace, a married couple who has it all. Jack's a well-known and respected attorney, and Grace lives a life of luxury in their gorgeous mansion of a home. They attend beautiful, upscale dinner parties, and life just seems perfect. Jack is even super supportive of Grace's care of her sister, Millie, who has a disability. 

Life is exactly what Grace dreamed of... or is it?

From early on in the book, it becomes clear that appearances are deceiving, and the couple has some dark secrets. As you read on, you realize that their life is actually the thing of nightmares instead of dreams.

I loved how the story was told from Grace's perspective both in the past and the present. The timelines carefully weave together, and the pacing was on point. It kept me reading on, and I often found I couldn't put my book down. I needed to get to the resolution and see how the author would wrap everything up.

The author did a great job at carefully plotting every detail so that the tale was scarily plausible. I felt great sympathy for the characters and, even at times, rage, which is a sign that I was highly invested in the story.

This book was subtly eerie in a way few thrillers can master. Although the plot was somewhat simplistic, the details really drove the story forward and the premise made the entire book bone-chilling in a unique way.

I absolutely loved B.A. Paris's writing voice and will be looking for more books from her.

​5/5 stars.

I love this kind of story. I have also watched this kind of a story plot. I like how twisted the story is. The story always begins how they love each other, they will soon decide to get married and after that, one of the couple will suddenly become weird. I prefer suspense thriller, I do not want too much blood in the story. I just hope that the lead character know's how to fight back and in the end, he/she will survive. It always makes me disappointed if the villain wins in the end, not unless the story will justify why the villain won.
