A kindle read that had me hooked📚

Book: Meet the Parents

Rating : 4/5: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Review:

Would you still believe

your relationship was meant to be if a weekend meeting the parents went up in flames? Even if you found out the parents may be serial killers? There are a lot of secrets hiding under the surface as Gina prepares to meet Owen's parents but the extent of what lies underneath is completely unknown. Not only does Owen’s family have something to hide so does Gina, her true intentions.

Emily Shiner delivers a thrilling book that certainly gives more questions than answers as the layers unfold.

The characters may be a little too well written because I had no idea who to trust but it made the book all the more enjoyable!

The twist at the end of this book was insane my jaw literally dropped.
