The Lucky Winners Book Review

They won their dream home. It’s about to become a nightmare…

When Merri and Dev buy a ticket on the last day of a national draw to win the house of their dreams, they never, in a million years, expect to win.

Less than a week later, they’re receiving the keys to their new Lake District mansion.

For Dev, it’s a dream come true – no more stressful rent negotiations or waiting for the landlord to finally fix the damp. Of course he’s delighted to be interviewed about their good luck.

But Merri feels a little uneasy. Dev doesn’t realise there’s a reason she’s never wanted to put down roots, always trying to run away from the memories of what happened the day her little sister died.

At first, it’s easy to think she’s imagining the shadowy figures in the lakefront garden. It’s silly to think that someone is watching her through the gorgeous floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

And then a body is found in the lake. And Merri’s new perfect life is about to come crashing down…

A completely addictive and unputdownable thriller from the number 1 ebook bestselling author K.L. Slater. The Lucky Winners will have you hooked! Perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell and Freida McFadden.

My thoughts:

 

This story starts off as everyone's reality, behind on bills and struggling, then becomes a dream, as Merri and Dev win an amazing lottery for a dream home! All of their problems appear to be solved, but something feels wrong. Merri has a secret from her past that she is trying to keep hidden, and things start happening around them to make them feel like this may not have been the best idea.

 

The suspense in this story builds slowly until later in the book, and the chapters are told from different points of view, which makes for a very interesting read. Overall I really enjoyed this story! Thank you Netgalley and Bookouture for the complimentary copy of the story. I am voluntarily leaving a review.
