⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ REVIEW
Oh yes, a five star review. The entire time I could not connect the dots…whose team am I on? Who is the target? Who is behind it all? And even until the very last sentence…WHAT IS HAPPENING??? Wow. I was sucked in and blown away. Too soon to suggest a summer Italian getaway?

The Family Holiday
Shalini Boland
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I will say this book doesn’t get real interesting until the end but the twist that comes is totally worth a 5 star rating! This was an okay book until the end but most def. still worth reading!

This is my 3rd Shalini Boland book that i have read and what a story. I read it in one sitting.

I felt like i was apart of the characters lives because Shalini brought them too life through the details.

I loved everything about this story, the twists, the turns, and the ending which left me gobsmacked.

This was an amazing psychological thriller and for any psychological thriller book lovers out there you will love this one

Thank you netgalley and bookouture for allowung me to give an honest review.

As soon as I hear Shalini Boland has another book coming out I don’t even need to read the book blurb to know it’s going to be great read. Well The Family Holiday was no exception. An absolutely brilliant suspense thriller that had me completely engrossed from the very start. When I was reading this book I just didn’t want to do anything else until I had finished so anxious was I to know how it was all going to end. Everything about this book was brilliant right from start to finish. There was one particular character who was truly horrible and many times I wanted to reach into the book and slap this person very hard

I’ve never read a Shalini Boland book that I didn’t LOVE! The way she writes is just incredible, you really feel like you’re there living in the characters lives. She is the queen of plot twists, this one was a little less shocking than her other books but it didn’t make it any less amazing. I loved the setting and want to plan a trip to Italy now! Can’t wait for whatever she has in the works next!! Thank you to NetGalley & Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Got to love it when a twist in a book blows your mind! My jaw well and truly dropped! Shalini Boland has done it again, absolutely brilliant!
