The Family Game

Okay so I have MANY thoughts on this book which I will summarize in bullets

• I got this book because I thought it was going to be some kind of closed-circle horror story like Saw. At one point I thought it was going to turn into The Most Dangerous Game. But ... I was WRONG
• I liked the protagonist but I wasn't a HUGE fan of the repeated cliches (I.e. “I did something so bad .... Nobody knows what I did.............. so long ago..........” And “oooooooh his father is so HOT but I know that's so BAD” Like they didn't bother me too much but these same points were revisited so much without much variation that it stuck with me
• I knew it was a Get Out situation as soon as I opened the book and I knew Edward had something to do with it when he made Harriet go through all that shit and she was like “is there something fucking wrong with you????? None of this was normal” and then was like NUH-UH
• I like ... still don't understand what was up with Edward in the end. Like... he killed for bloodlust? And he found common ground with Harriet because she also killed one time ? I know he explained that all of the women knew too much or whatever and then he was like “oooohhhh I'm killing my whole family so I can TAKE OVER THE COMPANY even though they said I could take it back once my father retires but he hasn't” so he's just impatient ??????? And why would you need to kill everyone for that??? Like the book was really good overall (I literally read it in a night) but once again I feel like the ending was kind of sloppy and the rationale wasn't as strong was the other plot twists and devices used throughout the book which were SO good

Overall, the book undoubtedly captivated me and I was MAD the whole time during the Krampusnacht part. I'm going to read a synopsis to try to fill in the gaps I have and I might edit. Also I didn't like Fiona from the start she got exactly what she deserved Ls for the kids tho
