Review: The Wedding Lies - Jade Lee Wright - January 2026

Hello, lovely readers! Settle in with your cuppa because I've just finished The Wedding Lies by Jade Lee Wright, and oh my, what a twisted journey this one took me on.

When we first meet Ivy and Stephen, they're living their best life in sunny South Africa, newly engaged and over the moon. But as any of us who've met the in-laws know, sometimes that first family gathering can be... well, let's just say illuminating. Ivy's about to discover that Stephen's family isn't just wealthy , they're the kind of wealthy that comes with secrets, expectations, and in this case, genuine danger lurking around every corner of their grand estate.

What I loved most about this book is how quickly Jade Lee Wright peels back the layers. Those early red flags start waving the moment Ivy arrives at the family lodge, and suddenly the Stephen she thought she knew becomes almost unrecognizable. We've all had that moment where we see our partner through fresh eyes, haven't we? But for Ivy, it's not just wedding jitters ,it's a legitimate wake-up call about who she's planning to marry.

The real twist comes when Ivy spots Charlotte Walker, a young woman who's been missing for over a week, somewhere on the property. Now Ivy's not just questioning her engagement; she's convinced Stephen's supposedly ailing father is behind Charlotte's abduction. The tension ratchets up beautifully as Ivy and her bridesmaids work together to uncover the truth, and I found myself completely invested in whether they'd expose the family's dark secrets before it was too late.

What really warmed my heart was seeing the women take center stage as the heroes. In a genre that so often relies on male saviors swooping in, Jade Lee Wright gives us resourceful, determined women who rely on each other and their own wits. It reminded me quite a bit of The Daughter by Alesha Dykema, which I read recently and similarly featured strong female characters driving the narrative.

At 3Ps, The Wedding Lies is a solid, entertaining thriller that'll keep you guessing. Perfect for those cozy reading nights when you want something gripping without losing too much sleep. Would I recommend it? Absolutely , especially if you love stories where women refuse to be sidelined in their own lives.
