Book Review: The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz

Review: 

This was a really good dark and creepy book. I have read other books by this author but this was one of my favorites. Allison had a tough childhood and was brought to live with Dr. Capello in his huge “dragon house” on the beach with his other kids. An incident occurred and Allison is removed from the home. Several years later she is back and seeking closure and answers. The story centers around the “siblings”, Roland, Deacon, Thora and I have to say Deacon was the breakout character of this book! I liked the other characters but Deacon was the much needed comedic relief and he always left me smiling!

As I read the story I had a theory but when the secrets and twists had been revealed I was off, way off! I didn’t see that coming at all! Reisz was able to keep me in suspense while I read and I loved the way the story unfolded before my eyes. I’m still in shock over the revelations and still trying to process what is right and what is wrong. This story really makes you stop and think if the person’s motives are really that bad. I can kind of see their reasoning. Not sure what that says about me….. I really liked the way the story ended. It seemed fitting for everything the characters have gone through in this book. I’m happy the Reisz didn’t make it out to be all sunshine and rainbows in the end.
