The Family Holiday by Shalini Boland
3.0

I didn’t hate this but i didn’t particularly enjoy it either? I was mainly waiting for the plot to pick up and Niall to actually die (as it says in the description for the book), and that didn’t even happen until near the end!!!!! None of the characters were likeable. Beth had next to no personality and Niall was a condescending gaslighting POS. Amber was psychopath over something that happened over 12 years ago and Renzo was the biggest bloody push-over. When the plot did eventually pick up, i found it ended so abruptly. Most of the plot-holes were so unnecessary, like why bring in a killer at last minute with a random story and what was Renzo’s “secret” meant to bring to the table? Anyway, 3 stars. Not the best by all means but not the worst either.
