I absolutely could not put this book down, if I didn't have to go to work, this would have been devoured in one sitting.

Family Business follows the morbid job that the Slough's, and their apprentice Diya, complete on a frequent basis - Trauma Cleanup. 

The story initially starts with humour and when the crescendo hits, spirals into mystery and horror.

Whilst not entitely scary, it was necessary to read with the lights on in fear of seeing those
supernatural smiling teeth in the corner of my own room!


I will absolutely recommend this book for those who are not turned away by gore and thrills. The characters were extremly loveable and the ending was just *chefs kisses*. 

Thankyou NetGalley and Orion Publishing Group, Gollancz for considering me to review this book. All opinions are my own.
