The Family Secret: A completely gripping psychological thriller full of incredible twists (The Bailey family psychological thrillers)

This family reunion should've been a fresh start for us all... but now someone is dead.

My heart is thumping with fear as I stare out at the snow-capped mountains. This ski trip to the French Alps was meant to be a chance for me and my two sisters to put the past behind us after years of not speaking. Instead, I'm expecting the police to knock on the door of our chalet.

I'd planned for our families to get to know each other, sipping hot chocolate while laughing together around the fireplace.

I didn't think our winter getaway would end in murder...

Any one of us could be the killer. We all have a motive. And we've all been lying.

I should never have come here. If anyone discovers my secret my life will be in danger.

Can I trust my own family?

Or am I next...?

The Family Secret by Mikayla Davids is the second book in the Bailey Sisters series-and couldn't wait to dive in after finishing The Christmas Party. I'm so glad did because this one gave me so many answers to the questions I was left with in book one. Set in the snowy French Alps, the story brings the sisters back together, but of course, nothing is ever simple with the Bailey family. Just when I thought had things figured out, another twist came out of nowhere-and did not see it coming. Mikayla Davids knows how to keep readers on edge. The setting was atmospheric, the characters felt even more layered, and loved seeing how the story expanded from the first book.
