⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫/5
Thank you to @netgalley, @bookouture, and @jessicapayne.writer for this gifted copy of The Lucky One! All opinions are my own.
I LOVED this book. I absolutely devoured it.
The main character, Norah, was kidnapped on her high school prom night and forced to watch a notorious serial killer murder her best friend. She somehow escaped that night and now lives in LA, training as an MMA fighter and coach. When the passing of her estranged father brings her back to her hometown, she is forced to confront her past and work to unmask the killer who let her escape all those years ago.
This one had me hooked from very early on in the book (I'm talking first few pages) which is rare for me. The author left little clues throughout the book so that I, as the reader, could do some of my own investigating. I loved that by the end, each plot point and clue was neatly tied up so there were no loose ends. It felt very well thought out and so satisfying!
Outside of the mystery/thriller aspect, I loved that Norah had a non-traditional career and that there were discussions on the effects of trauma. Norah still had significant character development even though that wasn’t the main focus of the book and the depth to her character made it even more enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this book for lovers of thrillers, mysteries, horror, and even drama (if you’re wanting to dabble in the thriller world)! Fans of Riley Sager and B.A. Paris: Jessica Payne may just be your new favorite author!
Content Rating: PG-13 for some violence and adult romance but nothing crazy graphic!
