Customer Reviews
A gripping read with a thrilling twist
Imagine being reunited with your mother after having her disappear when you were still just a little kid. Imagine having her back after not having her throughout your teenage years, when you needed her the most. Imagine now that you have her back, you have everything you could ever want or need. But, sometimes things are not what they seem to be. You can’t imagine where this story will take you…
Jackie Kabler has crafted a story that captures you attention right from the get go. She has a real gift of vivid character creation and creating an intriguing storyline. I loved how she uses the relationships between the characters to drive this story as opposed to events alone. The relationships are almost a means to an end, and in the end, are used to create a thrilling reveal that will catch you off guard.
The Happy Family is a twisty story, written in a style that is fresh and captivating. It is a fast paced and snappy read that doesn’t overstay it’s welcome. Jackie Kabler is such a valuable asset to the psychological thriller genre and I look forward to reading what she comes up with for us next.
