When a book starts with this paragraph..."Three awful things happened to me in less than a month. My mother died. My little brother tried to steal my car. And I found out my husband is cheating on me" you know you are in for a ride! Sara did not hold back with the twists in this. Once you think you know what is going to happen, you probably don't! It has twists, revenge, unhinged characters, and an ending you probably won't guess. I really enjoyed this book!

Dark, sharp, and deliciously unsettling.

What begins as a story of suspected infidelity quickly spirals into something far more dangerous and compulsive. Lily is not a woman driven by impulse—she is methodical, calculating, and terrifyingly human. The isolated Florida Keys setting adds a simmering tension, turning the beachside camping trip into a pressure cooker of secrets and bad decisions.

As Lily’s carefully planned revenge unravels, the story leans hard into psychological suspense. Lies stack on top of lies, betrayal cuts deeper than the original wound, and murder evolves from an act of retaliation into something far more consuming. The pacing is tight, the twists feel earned, and the moral lines blur in ways that keep you hooked.

This is a chilling exploration of obsession, control, and how easily vengeance can reshape a life beyond recognition. Compulsive reading from start to finish.

Twisted Vows successfully captures the claustrophobia of a marriage at its breaking point, creating a naturally tense and suffocating atmosphere. The story moves quickly thanks to the short chapters, making it a fast and easy read. This brisk pace is countered by characters who are totally unlikable and difficult to sympathize with, making it hard to feel invested in their outcomes. The narrative is also weighed down by repetitive phrasing and a constant re-hashing of the characters' history, which often feels unnecessary. The final twist is a complete pivot that comes out of left field, ensuring the book ends on an entirely unpredictable note for those who prefer a shocking conclusion. This book is good for a quick thrill but it doesn't leave me excited to read anything else by this author.

Y’ALL! Twisted Vows takes “suspecting your husband is cheating” and cranks it straight to chaos. Lily’s revenge plan during a secluded Florida Keys beach trip goes off the rails fast, and from there it’s lies on lies, betrayal stacked on betrayal, and a marriage unraveling in the most jaw-dropping ways.

Sara Kate’s writing is sharp, fast, and impossible to put down—short chapters, relentless pacing, and twists that keep coming. Lily is messy, intense, and fascinating, and watching her relationship mutate into something darker and more twisted is pure page-turner energy.

I flew through this book with my eyebrows permanently raised. Toxic marriage? Check. Wild turns? Double check. Absolutely devoured it. 💥📖

“Twisted Vows” by Sara Kate is a wickedly twisted tale of lies, revenge, and secrets. This suspenseful thriller kept me guessing while also making me laugh out loud—something I absolutely love when done well in this genre. The humor is sharp and perfectly timed, balancing the darker themes without taking away from the tension. With plenty of twists and an addictive pace, this story proves you can have both edge-of-your-seat suspense and laugh-out-loud moments. A clever, entertaining read that I couldn’t put down.

[Terri Lyn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Twisted Vows poses a chilling question at its core: How far would you go to protect your secrets? Would you kill to keep them buried? The story lives up to its title in every way, delivering a labyrinth of deception, betrayal, and shocking revelations. Each chapter tightens the tension, offering more twists and turns than any thriller I’ve picked up in quite some time. It’s the kind of book that keeps you second‑guessing every character’s motive and turning pages long past when you meant to stop.

[Sue Fedash · Rating 5 out of 5]

How far would you go if the one person you trusted betrayed you?
Twisted Vows is a tense, gripping, and emotionally charged read that pulled me in from the very first chapter and refused to let go. The suspense builds beautifully, the twists are shocking, and every page leaves you needing more. This is one of those books you tell yourself you’ll read “just one more chapter” — and suddenly hours have passed. If you like intense reads that keep you guessing add this one to your TBR!

Whoa may this type of love never find me. That was truly a twisted tale. This story was fast paced. It did unfortunately have a little dry moment for me but when it picked back up, it was nothing short of a thrill. A rollercoaster ride to say the lease. Sara Kate did fantastic on the plot twist. I honestly didn’t see it coming. I found my jaw on the floor by the end of this book.

Thank you Sara Kate for the eARC. This review is that of my own.

Whoa this one was so good! Lily suspects her husband is cheating, so she decides to start plotting her revenge. However, it turns out her husband has a plan of his own, and things only get crazier from here!

I love a good thriller where the characters are absolutely unhinged, and this book really delivered. This was a fast-paced thrill ride where you never knew what Lily's or Jordan's next move was, and I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. You couldn't trust anyone! Don't skip this one - it's a quick read that's so easy to devour in one sitting!

[Mandy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Savage, slick, and relentlessly tense, Twisted Vows peels back the illusion of marriage to reveal something dangerous underneath. Sara Kate delivers a sharp psychological descent where control, obsession, and consequence collide. Darkly addictive and unapologetically ruthless, this is a thriller that proves some promises are better left unspoken.

[Kristina Vanderpool · Rating 5 out of 5]

My thoughts:
This is a 191 page novella and boy does it pack a punch! Omg the story truly is twisted. It has. Lies, revenge, betrayal and murd.er, everything in a great story. This was my first book by the author by chance, I’ll definitely be looking for more from her.

I finished this book in a single day—it completely pulled me in from the start. The constant twists and turns kept me guessing. A fast-paced, gripping read that’s hard to put down!

[Shellyann Paape · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely loved this book. Wow twisted vows was right. I mean they do say "til death do them apart" I dont really think that is exactly what is meant by those vows but everyone's interpretations are different. I loved the story line and that it wasn't just one to focus on. It kept building on to another level. Sara Kate knows how to deliver on a suspenseful thrilling book.
