The Amendment (Arrangement Novels Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 22,142 ratings

The dark, scandalous, and completely twisted sequel to Kiersten Modglin’s #1 bestselling domestic thriller, THE ARRANGEMENT

First, there was the arrangement.
A simple, yet salacious fix to the problems looming in their marriage.
But when
things took a tragic turn, Peter’s and Ainsley’s lives quickly fell into disarray.

Now, their secrets have been exposed.
They know the truth—about each other and their marriage.
As they struggle to move on from their past and the damage they’ve caused, new problems begin to surface.

Someone they love is hiding a catastrophic secret. The fragile ground they stand on is starting to crumble. Their family is being torn apart at the seams. And, maybe worst of all, a threat from the past is lurking, ready to unveil the things they’d kill to keep hidden.

They thought the nightmare they’d made it through was over, but the worst is just beginning…

Once, they vowed to do anything to make their marriage work.
Now, that vow will push every boundary they have left.
In order to survive, they’ll need to completely trust each other.
But can they?

Last time they did, things went terribly wrong…
This time, it might be worse.

If there’s one thing that’s certain, their secrets are too big to let anyone walk away alive.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Amendment is just as captivating, jaw-dropping, and addictive as The Arrangement, which was a 2021 favorite of mine."
-@AdannaReadsandPlans

"
This is how you write a sequel, folks!"
-@TheBookBooth

"
The Amendment is by far my favorite KMod book!"
-@TheBookishNow

"...just when you think you have it all figured out, here comes another twist!"
-@Booksta.Britt

"Peter and Ainsley have
all the charisma of YOU's Joe and Love, with all the precision of Mr. and Mrs. Smith."
-@CarrieReadsThem_All

"Modglin outdid even herself with the
many twists and turns and the moments that kept you guessing until the final page."
-Celine Perron, Author of
The Shallow Graves

"This was everything I want in a thriller. It was
fast-paced, action-packed, twisty, and dark."
-@CortkneeReads

"Again and again, I am
mezmerized by this author's ability to craft stories that not only keep me guessing from the first chapter right up until the very end, but also have me questioning everything I think I know."
-Courtneys.ShelfLife

"I'm not sure how it's possible to top
The Arrangement, but KMod understood the assignment."
-@GraciouslyBooked

"
I devoured this book in hours. There was no pausing, stopping, or looking back. I jumped in headfirst- and boy oh boy- did KMod keep me on the edge of my seat. It is impossible to put down- each chapter is deeper, darker, and more devious than the last. Like a precarious house of cards- a single gust of KMod wind will send it all crashing to the ground. Just when we think it's safe to go in the water- KMod delivers an ending that will make you sleep with every light on. You are not ready for The Amendment."
-KKEC Reads

"
I inhaled, gasped, screeched, and had my mouth literally drop open at the ending."
-@Laur_Reviews

"Absolutely, positively
one of the most twisted thrillers I've read to date!"
-@NotABoredMom

"Dark, juicy, and unexpected."
-@Thriller_Book_Sisters

"The end of the first chapter just sucked me right in.
...I think I stopped breathing once I got to the end."
-@What.Jessie.Reads

"This binge-worthy sequel had my eyes glued to the pages."
-@ReadingReviewsWithAllie

"
I just needed to finish the chapter...over and over. ...I promise you that you will think you know everything until you don't."
-BeccaBanReads

KMod does it again!
🌟rating: 4.5 stars 📖genre: psychological thriller #️⃣pages: 221 ✍🏼same author who wrote THE ARRANGEMENT, THE REUNION, WIDOW FALLS, OUR LITTLE SECRET, and THE ATONEMENT (pub date: 7/1/22). 💭”It was amazing how much you could hide behind the mask of a normal, boring life.” First, there was the arrangement. A simple, yet salacious fix to the problems looming in their marriage. But when things took a tragic turn, Peter’s and Ainsley’s lives quickly fell into disarray. Now, their secrets have been exposed. They know the truth—about each other and their marriage. As they struggle to move on from their past and the damage they’ve caused, new problems begin to surface. Someone they love is hiding a catastrophic secret. The fragile ground they stand on is starting to crumble. Their family is being torn apart at the seams. And, maybe worst of all, a threat from the past is lurking, ready to unveil the things they’d kill to keep hidden. They thought the nightmare they’d made it through was over, but the worst is just beginning… HOLY COW! K.Mod does it again! 🤯 It never fails, she will leave you with your mind absolutely blown! First of all, this is the 2nd book in The Arrangement series and I recommend reading them in order. In my opinion, The Arrangement gets all the stars but this book is definitely a close second. I just found it to be very similar to the first book but the ending is what really gave it that WOW factor! This a super quick read, it can be hands down be done in one sitting with its short chapters and how fast paced + jaw dropping it is! 😱 We are left with a total cliffhanger of an ending so I’m 100% ready for the third book, The Atonement, to be published in July to find out what happened next! ⚠️TW: Rape, murder, infidelity, toxic relationships

    Modeling really did a great job with these books. Maybe because I didn’t expect these books to be worth a penny. I started the first expecting it to be about some kind of arrangement between spouses as they opened their marriage and began to swing. Then came the twist and oh how wrong I was.

    Then I started this book expecting a line of murders MAYBE with the wife being aware and pretending she was in the dark. And then came the twist and oh how wrong I was. Now I’ve GOT to pick up the third book and see how this story ends….. for now at least (most likely).

    I just finished reading "The Amendment" by Kiersten Modglin, and I'm still reeling from the experience. This book is INSANE - in the best possible way!

    From the very first page, I was hooked. The story is told from the first-person point of view, which made me feel like I was right there with the protagonist, experiencing all the twists and turns alongside her.

    And oh, the twists! I thought I had it all figured out, but Modglin expertly weaves together a complex web of secrets, lies, and betrayals that will keep you guessing until the very end.

    What I loved most about this book is how it expertly explores themes of trauma, mental health, and the complexities of human relationships. The writing is raw, emotional, and unflinching, making it impossible to look away from the train wreck that unfolds.

    I devoured this book in one sitting, unable to tear myself away from the pages. And when I finally reached the end, I was left breathless and stunned, my mind reeling from the sheer audacity of the plot.

    If you're a fan of twisty, psychological thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat, then "The Amendment" is an absolute must-read. But be warned: once you start, you won't be able to stop!

    *Rating:* 5/5 stars

    *Recommendation:* For fans of authors like Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, and B.A. Paris. If you enjoy twisty, suspenseful plots, complex characters, and a healthy dose of mind-games, then this book is for you!
