🏠🔥 One Of The Family;

My Review! 🏠🔥





(Written by Jess Ryder)


Blurb;

My daughter’s boyfriend feels like one of the family. I couldn’t be happier to have him living with us. But now my daughter’s disappeared…



I never wanted to have an empty nest. So when my daughter Liv asks if she and her new boyfriend Jensen can move in, I’m thrilled.

Jensen is so helpful. He tells me how he loves being part of a close-knit family. He’s felt so alone since his parents died. And for me, his presence goes a little way towards replacing the son I lost.

Still, I can’t help but notice that Liv and Jensen are starting to argue. My daughter seems unhappy. Perhaps they just need some time alone together?

But when my husband and I return from our weekend away, Liv is missing. The relationship with Jensen appears to be over but he doesn’t want to leave. And then I discover exactly what he will do to stay in our family…



My Review;

'Wow!' - This book was such a great read! It drew me in from the very beginning, & with a fairly easy-to-read style & pace throughout, - it literally had me HOOKED; I read this in just ONE DAY‼️

The characters came across as authentic, & there were twists I didn't see coming. I liked how several of the chapters kept you hanging, too; on a cliff-edge, - which really propelled me to keep reading!

Based on a rating of 1-10, where 10 is the highest, I would give this book a rating of 9.

= A 'VERY' enjoyable read, - a book that I would purchase, & which I would DEFFO recommend‼️

(Deffo a 'MUST-READ')

👌😉

The first book I’ve read by this author and won’t be the last! Such a gripping thriller! I couldn’t put it down! Will definitely be reading others by this author! Fun, fast paced read!

Wow, what a rollercoaster! A thrilling and gripping read that keeps you turning the pages and guessing until the shocking conclusion. Lots of shocking twists and turns. Just brilliant!

Rachel & Dom unwittingly invite her daughter Liv and her boyfriend, Jensen, to live with them post graduation. Rachel is a typical helicopter mother who has a tendency to overwhelm her daughters. Jensen, an orphan, is delighted to be part of a warm happy family again. But a group of adults sharing a house comes with challenges and when Rachel & Dom go away for the weekend, Liv is missing when they return, though Jensen claims they had a fight and Liv just wants space. In the meantime Liv has been trying to find a job and meets Sofia, who offers her a house sitting job. Sounds ideal. But Rachel has become wary of Jensen, especially as her other daughter becomes a victim of terrible bullying and is convinced Jensen is involved. A brilliant twisty book, really well plotted and kept me engrossed. Finished in one sitting. Highly recommend. Thanks to the author & publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review

This is a great thriller that I couldn’t put down. When Liv finishes university the last thing Liv wants to do is move back home with her overbearing mother but her boyfriend Jensen thinks the two of them moving in rent free is a great idea. As she struggles to find a job Jensen has no interest in moving out from his new family and as her sister starts to spiral and her mum and dad not seeing eye to eye a new friend could be the lifeline that she needs. I won’t say any more on this one as it will spoil it but it’s is a great read and not to be missed!

A gripping, all-encompassing banger of a book that sucked me in from the first page! A thrilling page-turner with a twisty ending that made my jaw drop!

It was a terrific read, and a whip smart narrative that holds you from page to page! The characters were great, the story itself was very enjoyable and suspenseful, the setting was fantastic!

You won’t forget this book in a hurry this is a class above your usual psychological thriller!

This book was a very fast paced thrilling read. I was second-guessing my views on each character the entire way through and flip-flopping on who I could trust and who I couldn’t. There were tons of shocking twist as the plot unfolds, and just when you think there are no more twists, there’s another one. Fantastic plot, loved the narration, and the mystery and suspense on every page!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Review will be posted on Instagram and Amazon on pub day and links added to NetGalley.

This book starts off rather slow but gradually picks up speed. It is kind of a slow burning thriller. Stick with it and you will be glad you did.
