Bloodline ~ Jess Lourey

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whoa, what a ride! This book was full of secrets, gaslighting, twists, you name it.

Joan seems to have everything. A job she loves, a loving fiancé, a baby on the way. But after a scare in the city they decide to move to her fiancé’s hometown of Lilydale. Lilydale seems like the perfect community with a close knit community where nothing bad ever happens. But something about their friendliness doesn’t feel right to Joan. She feels like she’s being watched by everyone. This town has a dark secret and Joan is determined to figure it out, even though it seems like it could lead her down a dangerous path.

Bloodline is set in the 1960s and set in a creepy town. The timeline of the book jumps back and forth a little bit to build suspense. The authors note at the beginning tells about the story that inspired this book and also hooked me immediately. It is a small town and everyone Joan meets gives a very cult like vibe. The plot is tense and suspenseful with quite the dramatic ending. I really love Jess Loureys writing and really enjoyed this book!
