The Lucky Ones

2.5 stars. This was a fast paced, run of the mill thriller. A fun time? Yes. Anything groundbreaking? No, but not all books have to be.

The premise appealed to me - the five sole survivors of an horrific and unexplained massacre return to their home town (the scene of the crime) when their lives are threatened in a mysterious letter. Here they have to face their grizzly past and try to unravel the threads that lead to their families' and friends sudden demise.

The plot set up was awesome, I was sucked right in. But unfortunately the execution and resolution of the plot left me feeling a little meh. I had to suspend my disbelief multiple times (and I'm pretty tolerant of unrealistic plot twists) and there were a few eye rolls here and there.

There were enough interesting twists to keep me going and I'm sure fans of Kiersten Modglin will enjoy this most recent addition to her substantial catalogue.
