9.1.2024 - Meet the Parents

Meet the Parents by Emily Shiner 

Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest psychological thriller by a favorite, Emily Shiner.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!

Gina meets Owen, a successful doctor, at the hospital where she works.  They soon fall in love and are anxious to make a life together.  But first, she must meet his parents.  Mother Marta lives and breathes for Owen and she's not happy that Gina has come into his life.  Father Grant is creepy.  Their home is beautiful, but set in a very remote location in the woods.  And everyone has secrets.

Oh my goodness.  Emily Shiner has done it again.  She's crafted a twisty thriller where everyone has ulterior motives and secrets.  Gina had a traumatic childhood and she is determined to get revenge.  But Owen's parents are hiding their own motives for not wanting Gina in their family.  These characters are mostly unlikeable, creepy, and the house and setting amplify that.  I couldn't put this one down and the epilogue blew me away!  Don't miss this one!
