Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestSo I bought SILVER TEARS not realizing it was book two in a series, and when I saw it was only $4.99 to buy, I was like SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. It was purely an impulse buy just because I hate not getting closure, but OH MY GOD. Best purchase I've made in a while. THE GOLDEN CAGE ended up basically being a checklist of all of my favorite mystery/thriller tropes. Like, it's dual timeline, it's a little bit smutty, it has an antiheroine

“And for the first time in many years she felt ready to fight.”― Camilla Läckberg, The Gilded CageMy oh my. What a tangled web we weave.The Golden Cage is a revenge story and it is sort of addicting. It got me involved by page two. It did get better as it went on.Faye and Jack are married. They have a kid. Faye is still madly in love with hubs after all these tears,Jack..not so much.Faye feels she has no identity without Jack. She turns herself inside out trying to be the woman he wants. She hel...

⭐️5 Stars⭐️The Gilded Cage is an addictive, twisty and very sexy psychological thriller that takes the reader on an engaging ride.I loved this author’s writing style, why had I never heard of Camilla Läckberg before?Faye Adelheim leads the type of life that others envy, she lives in a luxury apartment, no expense spared in the most exclusive area of Stockholm.

I ordered this book in the Norwegian edition, since it was released before the Swedish one - that's how enthusiastic I was about reading another book from the queen of trashy crime. I was disappointed from the get go, because the story seemed so predictable. It kept that up right to the end, where I could for-see every intended twist.The story is that of Faye, who drops out of university to support her boyfriend and then husband Jack in setting up a company. The idea is hers. Jack then makes a h...

Im just shocked how bad this novel was. The novel portraits the main character, Faye, as a strong woman full of empathy and that she deserves her revange on her husband/ex-husband. Can I just Point out that Faye, kills two people in this book (one of them a decent guy but just beacuse she got scared that the guy would tell her new friends that she was a girl from the country), and frames her husband for the murder on their daugher just to ruin him. How can we like a character like that, she is c...

Wow, did I enjoy this book. This is the first one by this author and I loved it, (LOVED IT). I will definitely be picking up more. This book is a slow burn with many, many micro conflicts keeping pressure on the text pulling me along while the main plot line developed. At the same time the author continually layered in motivation after motivation. This book does not shy away from sex or vulgar language, but it is not gratuitous, so it works very well. Amazing character building.I highly recommen...

My goodness Camilla Lackberg - where have you been all my life! This was my first book by this author and most certainly will not be my last. The Gilded Cage is an addictive, twisty and shocking psychological thriller and I could not get enough of it! I do not want to spoil this book one bit for anybody - it is best to go in relatively blind. It is a story of love and betrayal, of friendship and revenge - and revenge is sweet! The main character Faye Adelheim is so deceivingly written. She is a

I've been a fan of Camilla Lackberg ever since I read The Ice Princess years ago. While I haven't read all ten books in her Fjallbacka series, I have managed to get through quite a few, most recently The Drowning. Like The Ice Princess, The Drowning features writer Erica Falck and detective Patrik Hedstrom; it's an engaging, well plotted mystery set in a small town in Sweden. Lackberg's 11th novel, The Golden Cage, is an entirely different type of psychological thriller, one that features a prot...

I was expecting a feminist revenge story but that's not really what this is and the reason for that is because in a tale like this you have to be able to empathize or at the very least sympathize with the abused but I couldn't because she is just so awful. Faye is a very intelligent young woman that meets Jack and they hit it off. He is trying to start up a company and does so with a lot of help from Faye. You know the kind of help I mean: all of her ideas and money. Faye gives up her school and...

I’m so glad I’m not in a gilded cage of marriage to a mega wealthy man if it means eating half a lettuce leaf a day, Botox until your face is frozen and subservience. Meet Faye, who is married to Jack Adelheim co-founder of Compare a multi million kroner company. They have one child, a daughter Julienne. Their marriage is a bit faded, jaded and she’s degraded but persuaded by love to glue a smile on even while he devalues her. However, Faye has a dark past which is suppressed when she is playing...

“Revenge. For all our sisters who have been broken down by idiots, all the unfaithful husbands who have cast us off for a younger model. All the men, all the guys who have exploited us, patronized us, and deceived us.” The Golden Cage was a satisfyingly dark noir overflowing with sex, lies, and betrayals. Told exclusively from Faye's point of view, both in the past, which describes her horrific childhood in Fjällbacka; and the present, which showcases how she deals with her cheating,

“The Golden Cage” by Swedish author Camilla Lackberg, is an amusing story of female revenge. For all you women who have been burned by a male lover (not only divorced women), this is a satisfying story. I doubt this novel was written with men readers in mind.The story opens with Faye’s (the protagonist) discovery from the police that her ex-husband has most likely killed her daughter, Julienne. Lackberg choses two-time frames to tell her story. In current time, Lackberg tells Faye’s story in fir...

DNF - too ridiculously bad to read!'She had taken some painkillers, then drained a litre of her own blood': wait, what? How is it even possible for a perfectly ordinary person with no medical equipment to do that? This just epitomizes my eye-rolling throughout this book which veers between melodrama and the absurd. It's a shame as I love Lackberg's Erika and Patrik Hedstrom series with its mix of cosy domesticity, humour and the macabre but this is nothing like them. Flat writing, a seen-it-a-mi...
