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.

I was excited to pick this one up after the way book 2 ended but it fell flat and was rather slow, so much so I wish everything was wrapped up in book 2. A third book was not needed

Really had to force myself to read this one. I enjoyed the second book the most in the trilogy but this one just felt like most of the book was padding as there was nothing left to say until the end
