Edge-of-Your-Seat-Thriller

The Family Game by Catherine Steadman

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


One of the things I find myself thinking after finishing this story is if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is, which is mostly what happens here. Harry is doing well with writing and publishing best-selling novels and has moved from Europe to New York for the man she loves and is hoping to marry. Edward is the heir to a huge fortune as a son in a vastly wealthy family and Harry can’t believe he picked her, loves her, and wants to marry her. She, of course, has a secret of her own that she doesn’t want him to know either though, but little does she know the secrets that his family holds.
This was a thrilling read. It was an intense psychological thriller, and while it had some twists and turns, I kind of guessed and knew what they were. I knew when the pieces fit together what was happening and I was torn about how I felt about Harry because when I started reading the story; I liked her, but then I found out about her history and questioned her character. I’m still not sure how I feel about her with her past and with what happens, but then this story is very much out of the ordinary for what would normally happen when you meet, get engaged, and plan to marry the guy of your dreams.
Thanks so much to NetGalley and Random House/Ballantine Books for letting me read and review this enticing and edge-of-your-seat thriller. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
