The Family Game by Catherine Steadman
4.0
Harry, a successful British author, falls in love with Edward of the rich and powerful American Holbeck family empire. They quickly become engaged and expecting. In an attempt to fit in and be accepted by her soon-to-be new family, Harry must begrudgingly partake in the Holbecks’ silly and surprisingly dangerous family games and traditions. Robert Holbeck, the head of the family, is trying to send her an important message about the family through recorded cassette tapes he slips her in private — but is he a friend or a foe?
I enjoyed this one, even though I pretty much anticipated the “twist” and it didn’t have the same shock value with me as others have been raving about. It was a very slow burn and it took me a while to get into but the pedal was to the metal in the last 25% or so and that is where the thrill and action was.
A big thank you to NetGalley, Random House Ballantine, and Catherine for an advance reader’s copy of this title! I was so excited to see it was a Book of the Month pick.
