While it's billed as a psychological suspense novel, Karen King's 'The Family Reunion' is a contemporary family drama that's heavy on the... you guessed it, drama and secrets, and after about the third twist, things become hard to believe.It was love at first sight for Dana and Sam. And Dana could not believe how wonderful it was to be in love and to receive a marriage proposal after only four months of dating. And here we get it right at the beginning when the prologue sets the tone for what's to come later in the novel.

The Mother-in-Law follows a couple named Sam and Dana, who after a whirlwind romance of 4 months, are engaged to be married! We find out early on that Dana has a serious nut allergy, which is terrible because she ends up moving in with her future in-laws and they're a bunch of nuts! Sorry, I had to. I would like to thank #KarenKing , #NetGalley and #Bookouture for an ARC of #TheFamilyReunion in exchange for an honest review. This is how you write a tense battle of wills. Right from the start you know things have gone horribly wrong for bride Dana……

For the most part, the plot was easy to follow; you know from the start that there are going to be lots of lies and secrets revealed. However, I must irrevocably state - Ms. King got me GOOD with that twist at the end! After reading enough of these types of books, it is quite hard to catch me off guard, but this author achieved the impossible! Over the years, Karen king progressed from children’s fiction into romance before she also ventured into psychological thrillers.
