This is a domestic thriller book that is hard to put down because the action is so fast-paced. Hannah and Mark got married soon after meeting and both of them kept secrets from each other. Hannah wants a baby, but Mark wants nothing to do with fatherhood. The scenario spins out of control when Hannah starts finding out some of Mark’s secrets and confronts him. I was never sure if Marks was a psychopath or a sociopath, but he was one of them, for sure. His secrets are deep and dark and Hannah’s discoveries can mean life or death for her. The only reason I gave the book four stars instead of five was what I considered the abrupt ending. I wanted more of Hannah and Mark’s story! Fans of domestic thrillers will not want to miss out on this one!

Well, she’s done it again!! I am going to make it my life’s mission to have one, just one, of these plots figured out before the end. I’m surely setting myself up for failure. I have dubbed this author the “Queen of Twists and Turns” and with every single book she releases, that crown gains another jewel. Holy Hannah this was good!
It’s funny how one three-letter word, said enough times, can change your life. Yes. Sometimes the result is wonderful – a first date, a first kiss, a first…. (well, you know), a marriage. And sometimes, it can lead you down a path of secrecy, deceit, adultery, and….. murder? It’s the latter that adds phrases like “we shouldn’t be doing this”, “don’t tell anyone”, and “what did I just do?” to your vocabulary. This is what it was like for Hannah and Mark. Their first set of “YES” were blissful and happy. The second set is where it all went wrong. So very wrong.
I hate that I can’t figure this author out and predict where she is taking her stories. Yet,at the same time, I’m so glad I can’t because, what would be the fun of that? It would be like opening your presents before Christmas or your Birthday, and then being disappointed when the big day arrived and there’s nothing to open. I’ve read thrillers where 1/2 way through the book I have a pretty good idea of whodunit, and I’m usually right (not tooting my own horn here). They’re good stories, but sometimes predictable. With Ms. Modglin? The ending is always a never-saw-it-coming, shocker. Every. Single. Time. Just say yes, and grab this one!!
Wow!! Another suspenseful tale from Kiersten Modglin. Her latest work has all the elements of a psychological thriller; mystery, drama, action and paranoia. You are tricked into thinking you know what is going on, but in reality, you have no idea what is waiting around the corner.
Hannah didn’t really know Mark all that well when they got married and moved to Atlanta, but she had to say yes. Mark was very secretive about his past and kept all of his skeletons well hidden. He chipped away at her sanity, and was verbally abusive, but Hannah continued to say yes to his demands. He isolated her from the outside world and she rarely went anywhere alone. Hannah became paranoid and fearful, but she still held out hope that their love could withstand his betrayal. That would never happen because Mark was crazy, controlling and the devil incarnate. Hannah accepted his excuses for his delusional behavior because she truly believed that things would go back to the way they were when they first met, but she was terribly wrong.
HOLY CRAP!!! I COULDN’T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!!! Let me just start by saying that never have I been so twisted in a Bipolar way than I have with this Author, Such an Amazing book with so many twists, turns and Oh SH$T moments!!! This book was Just WOW….JUST WOW….. Another GREAT ONE BY MS. MODGLIN, I CAN’T WAIT FOR HER NEXT ONE!!!
An absolute mind bending read that will have you on edge till the very end. The suspense builds throughout the story and will have you hooked. A psychological, emotional, twisted tale that can be complex and layered as it unfolds leaving you shocked. A definite must read.
Darkly gritty, suspenseful, psychological must read! Hannah and Mark’s story will quickly grab the reader’s attention and become all-consuming. It deserves more than five stars and in my opinion, is Kiersten Modglin’s best work yet!
What a mind blowing read! Definitely deserves more than 5 stars! Words cannot describe how much I loved this story. Mark and Hannah are a couple who met on the fly one night and their relationship spiraled from there. Some may have thought it was too quick, but not to them. As they embark on building a life, little things start to change, start to show up and Hannah begins to question if she really knows her husband. Mark is a smart lawyer, and has some issues but can he hide what they are from Hannah? Can they make their marriage work? This story takes you on a wild ride of mystery and intrigue of which you don’t want to get off from. So many times I thought I had the answers, then something else comes up to make me question everything I thought. I sat on the edge of my seat and didn’t stop until I found I read it in one sitting, it’s just that mesmerizing. Kudos to his author for this suspenseful story that you will absolutely love!
As the queen of thrilling plot twists, ‘I Said Yes’ does not fail to throw twists at us from every angle. In true Modglin fashion, the mindf***ery that this book puts its readers through is breathtaking. Hannah and Mark are two fairly relateable people that become so tangled that their twists are starting to bring others down. Excellent novel and one of Modglin’s best!
Don’t make any other plans if you settle down with this book. Find a comfy spot and hold onto your hat! Modglin is the Queen of Creep and I love it!
Wow! Okay, I’m officially hooked. This was my first Kiersten Modglin read and I really enjoyed it! It was a one sitting read for me (on a week night even – that rarely happens!), which means it was also a page turner!
I loved the multi-person perspectives, just wished there was a smidge more of Mark’s voice somewhere in the middle of the book. But overall, I truly enjoyed this one and will definitely be reading more of this author’s work! Kiersten, you have yourself a new fan!
Loved it. Lots of twists and turns that kept me turning pages.
This was a heavy book. The content was pretty deep. But it was well written and the twist was well executed. I enjoyed this one! #isaidyes #kierstenmodglin #read #bookstagram
I Said Yes
Kiersten Modglin
What a book and ride! If you like suspense and psychological thrillers, run and get this one. Seriously this is one heck of a book. I was hooked from page 1 and just kept reading and reading. I am still wondering what the heck about the ending. Mark and Hannah met when she got stuck in Atlanta for work, and went into a bar for a drink. He was the bartender, and was drawn to her from the start or was he? He definitely was a smooth talker, and they quickly fell into a relationship and got married. This book really makes you think about if you really know anyone. I have not been reading many of this type of book recently, and after reading this, I realize I need to get back to reading more of this genre because I really love them. I can’t wait to read more books by this author, as it seems she is very talented in writing this type of book, and from what I have read, others agree. So if you are looking for a book to lose yourself in and keep your mind off of real-life things, I think you should pick this one up and lose yourself in reading for a while.
Hannah and Mark meet their attraction immediate and intense. A marriage that should be the start of a wonderful journey begins to show strain as secrets, tension, revelations and more erode their union. What I liked about this book, is also what I had issues with. Hannah’s depiction as an intelligent career woman who loses herself in a relationship is plausible. I just had trouble accepting how passive and naive Hannah was at times. The ending is satisfactory though an additional novella / book would give the reader the opportunity to see Hannah’s reemergence. This book was interesting and entertaining, but I needed something more.
Holy Cow this author knows how to keep you guessing right until the very end. I was unable to put this book down once I began reading. Gripping and complex, I really had no idea what to expect and I was surprised at the very end. Well done!!
Kiersten Modglin wrote an elaborately delivered domestic thriller that will shock even the best reading detectives out there!
“I Said Yes” flips the script when you least expect it!
A few times I just wanted to scream! Because the surprises were just so huge!
Many things in this story will make you think twice before you answer your next simple “Yes or No” question! I know I will.
Once again….It was “Mind Boggling….Kiersten Modglining!!”
I was given a copy of this book by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.
I read this in one setting. Could not put this one down for anything. I had to know what in the heck was going on with Hannah and Mark?. Thriller check. Suspense check. Nonstop page turning mind blowing storyline double check. There is every thing you could want in this one. Twists and turns at every page turning moment. I absolutely loved Hannah and Mark. Completely threw me for a loop when i found out who Damon was and what he did. Holy cow what a twist. But let me tell you Kiersten did an amazing job writing this one. This is now my favorite out of her books. Just mind blowing thiller from beginning to shocking end. A must read if you are looking for something you wont be able to put down. It will shock you, have you on the edge of your seat and wanting more.
This is the second book I’ve read from this author and I will be reading more of her stuff.
Hannah and Mark are our main characters and they are brilliant together.
This story is full of twists and turns and it will keep you guessing until the very end.
If you like thrillers and want a story that will keep you hooked then pick this book up
A psychological thriller with a twist that I didn’t see coming. Couldn’t put it down. Totally loved it!!
This book was a total mind f*ck! Just when I thought I had it figured out, another twist sent me in another direction. You must read this book!
