The Family Game was a fun and twisted ride that I wasn't quite expecting. This was brilliantly written, however the first half of the book moves incredibly slow for my liking. I love how very similar it is to the movie Ready or Not. There wasn't a lot of thought put into the building of all characters that were in active play, which I wish there had been.
All-in-all I'd recommend this book if you want something that is full of unexpected twists and secrets.
Thank you Netgalley, Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine and Catherine Steadman for granting my wish for this ARC. All opinions are my own.
