The Family Bones

⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Family Bones by Elle Marr is a gripping psychological thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end...

Olivia Eriksen, a psychology student, has always been intrigued by the question of nature versus nurture when it comes to psychopathy. Her family is notorious for its history of psychopathic behavior, and when she attends a family reunion with her fiancé, she hopes to interview her grandfather about their family traits. However, things take a menacing turn when Olivia's cousin is found dead and another family member disappears.

As the storm isolates them further, Olivia's fears escalate and an uninvited guest arrives - true-crime podcaster Birdie Tan. Birdie has uncovered a disturbing mystery in her investigation and follows it right to the Eriksens' mountain resort. The plot twists and turns as Olivia tries to uncover the truth behind her family's past and present.

Overall, this book was well written with a fast-paced plot and plenty of twists and turns. The characters were intriguing, but there were a lot of them to keep track of which could be slightly confusing at times. Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Family Bones and highly recommend it to anyone who loves psychological thrillers or true crime stories.
