Wow WOW WOW. My breaths are held, my head is racing and my toes are CURLED for this book. The last book I read was in early Jan and started on this hoping to get my momentum back … it did so much more. The unique, hence refreshing) premise, immaculate scene setting, and the delicious twists and turns……. I haven’t felt this impressed by a thriller in a while.

What a delicious, gripping and intense mystery!!

Could’ve been perfect if the ending was more resolute

How did Stuart survive the fire? Who saved him? Is Harry still sexually attracted to Robert? Why did Edward have to kill Fiona and Oliver? What happened in the house when Harry was out searching for clues??

and some plot holes rounded up.

Like why did the author decide to take Lila out of the game in the end? What’s up with Edward’s odd childhood bedroom photos? Is it insinuated that ‘Edward’ is Bobby??

I’d say though, I felt the first half of the book dragged on a little longer than I’d have liked, but it could be the lull I was in with my reading.

Overall, The Family Game gave me everything I wanted (rebuild my attention span after short video content dwindled it to nothing!!) and more!! I feel satiated by the thriller gods and am already excited for my next read!!

I did like this book. It was more psychological that I have anticipated and she used the adjective “heady” way too much for my taste. I also think the infatuation and attraction she had to her future FIL was disgusting and unnecessary. Overall a fun thriller/mystery with a good twist.

Honestly, a rip off of the movie "Ready or Not" with some changes, but if this interests you I suggest you watch that instead.

Loved this. It was a little slow in the beginning but it really captured me when it started to get going.

I love a good mystery, I always have. I really thought this was going to be basically Ready or Not but it was a lot more complex than that! I do wish there had been more of the actual game but this was a fun read!
