The Lucky Ones by Kiersten Modglin

donnamallery's review against another edition

3.0

I have read many of KMod books. This was a good book; it just wasn’t as gripping as her usual style. This book involves 5 young survivors of a horrible tragedy that took the lives of their parents. Years later, they confirm that they are also in danger for their lives. What follows is their journey to find the reason behind the tragedy and how they can protect themselves. There are her usual good twists. This author usually ends her books with a satisfying ending. That’s one of my primary reasons for picking her books time after time. This book, however, adds a final twist that should have been left out. But many of you may like it so don’t let me sway you. It’s still a worthy read.

The queen of twists on twists on twists. Big Modglin fan, and this one didn’t disappoint!

I liked this book. The first half was full of suspense and a new storyline that kept me intrigued. I got confused the last half and that’s why I only gave it three stars. I do like this author though and hope to read more from her!

Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC!

This was a quick read, and I liked the writing style.  But the ending had four levels of twist that just didn't work; the final one didn't even make sense given the previous narrative viewpoint.

Lucky?! None of these people were lucky. They woke up as kids to their parents being slaughtered, only to find out the 1/5 is killing them off.
