3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
A NEW YORK TIMES BEST CRIME NOVEL OF THE YEAR The plot folds into a brilliant twist.The New York Times A novel in disguise. You could easily (and happily) mistake it for a stellar psychological thriller, bristling with surprises and packed with secrets; but listen closely and youll hear the beat of a dark, full heart, strong and loud. This is deeply moving fiction. A.J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window Twins Jeanie and Jamie King are inseparable. Stuck in a cabin in rural Washington with their alcoholic father, they cling to one another for safety and companionship. Until one night, when their father comes home covered in blood. The next day, he is gone ... and so is Jamie. Jeanies whole world is turned upside down. Not only has she lost her beloved brother, but with no family left in Washington, she is ripped from everything she knows, including Maddox, the boy she could be learning to love. Twenty years later, Jeanie is in England. She keeps her demons at bay by drinking too much, sleeping with a married man, and speaking to a therapist she doesnt respect. But her old life catches up to her when Maddox reappears, claiming to have tracked down her dad. Stunned, Jeanie must decide whether to continue running from her past or to confront her father and finally find out what really happened that night, where her brother is, and why she was the one left behind. At once a propulsive, heart-pounding mystery and an affecting exploration of love and the familial ties that bind us, The Lost Kings will transport, move, and shock you.

Light Pick | 3.5⭐
Months ago, I DNF‘d this but knew I wanted to get back to it. I loved The Wolves of Winter by this author so I wanted to love this but it was so different from that. In this book, we have an MC who is difficult to like, she makes bad decision after bad decision, but ultimately, I‘m glad I stuck it out with her because eventually everything starts clicking into place. The ending managed to make my efforts feel vindicated.

A couple of big twists at the end of this book that I didn‘t see coming pushed me over the edge to make this book a pick. It‘s a good story, what happened to Jeanie‘s father and twin brother after they disappear one night. Kept me reading to find out.
