BLOG TOUR - The Happy Family



DESCRIPTION:

Behind closed doors, nothing is as it seems…

I stare at the photograph. It was taken on an ordinary day at the park. The four of us look so happy – our smiles wide and cheeks rosy. But just a month after this image was taken, I lost everything.

I’m watching them now, walking in the park my handsome husband, my beautiful daughter and my adorable son. They’re with her. She’s playing happy families with my loved ones. She stole them from me.

She thinks she’s got rid of me.
But I’m going to get my family back.
And I’m going to get revenge…

The Happy Family is an utterly page-turning and completely addictive psychological thriller full of incredible twists by number one bestselling author Daniel Hurst. Perfect for fans of T.M. Logan, John Marrs and Freida McFadden.

MY THOUGHTS:

The Happy Family by Daniel Hurst is a perfect example of the author’s talent for creating protagonists you’d never want in your real life - yet you can’t look away from the chaos they create. His books are, quite simply, addictive.

In this trilogy, readers are introduced to Luna, whose diabolical mindset drives the entire series. From the very beginning, she wants what Sadie has: a husband, two children, and that picture-perfect life. In I Want Your Family, Luna carefully crafts a plan to take everything from Sadie. Working as a delivery driver gives her the perfect access - and the perfect opportunity to insert herself into Sadie’s world. By the time we reach I Stole Your Family, Luna has succeeded in getting exactly what she wanted.

So where does that leave us in The Happy Family?

Sadie has lost everything - and she’s not backing down. She’s determined to expose Luna and reclaim her life, no matter the cost. Throughout the book, one thought kept circling my mind: only one of them can win. The tension feels almost gladiatorial, as if you’re watching an inevitable, brutal showdown inch closer with every chapter.

I’ll admit, I didn’t read this trilogy in order - I went into The Happy Family completely blind. But that misstep didn’t last long. Thanks to Kindle Unlimited, I quickly went back and read the first two books, and I’m so glad I did. It gave much-needed depth to the story - especially with the introduction of Gemma, whose role proves to be pivotal.

The Happy Family delivers a fitting end to an utterly addictive series. Hurst has crafted a central character who is completely unhinged - and somehow, that’s exactly what makes you unable to stop reading.

Many thanks to Bookouture and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
