THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING DEBUT PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER YOU CAN'T MISS! The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie? “A hair- raising debut, both unsettling and addictive...A chilling thriller that will keep you reading long into the night.” ―Mary Kubica, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Good Girl “This is one readers won’t be able to put down.” ―Booklist (starred review) "A can’t-put-down psychological thriller.” ―Library Journal (starred review) “This debut is guaranteed to haunt you...Warning: brace yourself.” ―Bustle (10 New Thrillers to Read This Summer) “The sense of believably and terror that engulfs Behind Closed Doors doesn't waver.” ―The Associated Press, picked up by The Washington Post “This was one of the best and most terrifying psychological thrillers I have ever read.” ―San Francisco Book Review Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He has looks and wealth; she has charm and elegance. He’s a dedicated attorney who has never lost a case; she is a flawless homemaker, a masterful gardener and cook, and dotes on her disabled younger sister. Though they are still newlyweds, they seem to have it all. You might not want to like them, but you do. You’re hopelessly charmed by the ease and comfort of their home, by the graciousness of the dinner parties they throw. You’d like to get to know Grace better. But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable. Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows. Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed. From bestselling author B.A. Paris comes the gripping thriller and international phenomenon Behind Closed Doors. Read more

  • Amazing Thriller That I Could Not Put Down! (Possible Spoilers) Download Immediately!
One of the best stores of 2016 hands down! I actually downloaded this book early and just got around to reading it a week ago and once I started I could not put it down unless absolutely necessary and since I have to work a full time job and be a wife and mommy that was often however, whenever I could read this book was in my hand. This book has been getting a lot of hype and for good reason. This is a skin crawling, chilling, suffocating, impossible to imagine story and yet it's written so well that it's damn hard to put down. It switches between past and present which I like although sometimes I'll have to go back and reread a couple things to get my bearings but it's put together extremely well. Let's start with, I have never wanted a character to die as much as I wished Jack would. From the very beginning I loved Grace. She was sweet, independent, and absolutely adored her sister Millie. When she met Jack she thought she had met her soul mate. He was wonderful, charming, and seemed to adore her sister as much as she did. He had a successful career as a domestic volience attorney for women and had never lost a case. He wanted to marry Grace, build her a dream house, and even have her mentally disabled sister living with them. Dream come true, right? Wrong! After they are married Grace learns the awful truth. Jack isn't who he says he is. He's an evil monster of a man who now owns her. Grace and Jack put up a good front around people, they come off as the perfect couple but behind closed doors is a completely different story. It's true what they say, you never really know what goes on behind closed doors. This story kept me on my toes and I'm not ashamed to say it scared the living hell out of me. Jack is a vile, horrible, man and the entire time I was reading this book I couldn't help but pray he that he gets what's coming to him. The only real down side for me was how the book ended. I mean it's a great ending however it had me flipping an extra couple pages and I even turned to my husband and said, "That's it?!" It would have been nice to know how the characters continued on after the ending. An epilogue would have been a nice addition to this story I believe. Other than that I have no real complaints. The story was well written, fast paced, the characters were well developed, and I feel like they didn't spend too much time in one area or another. B.A. Paris hit it out of the park with her first novel and I applaud her. Although, I'll tell you this right now if they make a movie out of this novel I WILL NOT be watching it. NO way, NO how! For those who worry about possible triggers this could definitely have a few. There were moments where I was holding my chest in anticipation of what was coming next however, I couldn't stop reading. If you haven't bought, downloaded, or read Behind Closed Doors yet I suggest you get this book in your library immediately! I downloaded the e-book then loved it so much I bought the hardcover as well. I'm serious, buy it now! ... show more

  • Great plot but abrupt ending
Loved the characters, description and dialogue. Very engaging and hard to put down. Disappointed in the ending as I feel one additional chapter to close all the loose ends would have made it even better!!!

  • their friends are tricked into thinking they’re head-over-heels in love with one another
To say Behind Closed Doors is unsettling would be an understatement. every single page of this book is an absolute spine-chilling, anxiety-inducing mess. Right from the get go, you know there’s something more lurking just under the surface with Jack and Grace. While they host a dinner party, their friends are tricked into thinking they’re head-over-heels in love with one another, but there’s something about them that’s just… off. Grace’s answers to questions are vague, her plans with friends always fall through, she eats but is thin as a rail, there’s always an excuse as to why she can’t see her sister, Millie, she cares for, she doesn’t own a phone or a computer, and she’s oddly never without Jack. Jack is a stunning and well-put-together man who swept Grace off her feet. He wined and dined her, and seemingly granted her every wish as he courted her in preparation for marriage. It’s once the couple tied the knot and he kept disappearing that things got weird… and then, deadly. If you guys read this blog at all, or even fairly regularly, you know I love my tormented men. The ones with demons lurking in their pasts but still somehow have a heart of gold at day’s end? I’m all about it, because the good in always presented to them to a point they can’t help but fight for that good and make their future gorgeous and full of love. Jack Angel is not one of those men. He sure seems that way. In the beginning, I fell for his charm just the way Grace did. When he showed up in the park to dance with Millie, it was just a sweet moment. However, we can’t be deceived by appearances, and unfortunately for Grace, that’s exactly what happens. Her marriage becomes a prison, and her sister is in danger. Jack’s demons are rampant, and he’s severely disturbed. I racked my brain as I turned the pages trying to think of a way out for Grace, but it wasn’t possible. Jack had all his bases covered, and all his work done. He took delight in torturing Grace, and couldn’t wait for Millie to come live with them, so he could add to their pain, and it was thoroughly creepy. Here’s the thing. I’m slightly de-sensitized to horror movies, and all the stuff that makes people jump. Maybe I’ve watched Halloween too many times.. who knows. What freaks me the hell out are scenarios that could happen in real life, and the fraud of a marriage between Jack and Grace could absolutely happen and has happened in real life. Reading this story left me with a belly ache because of just.. how unsettled I felt. Being in the presence of of Grace and Jack made me feel like I needed to keep a watchful eye over my shoulder. What a thrilling and heart-in-my-throat read! If you’re in the mood for a solid eerie tale, pick up a copy of Behind Closed Doors if you haven’t already! I’m pretty sure this was a debut novel from Paris, so I’m eagerly anticipating what she’ll bring to the table next! I was lucky enough to receive a copy of The Breakdown while at Book Expo, so I’ll have to give it a go ASAP! ... show more
