Kept Me Up At Night

Just My Luck by Adele Parks is a fabulous contemporary psychological thriller that will mess with your mind and emotions.

An ordinary house in suburbia. An ordinary family with an ordinary life – until a day that changes everything. Just My Luck examines the fall-out that happens when everything changes. What you thought you wanted, what you thought you knew, who you thought you were – the ground shifts and everyone envies you.

There is the huge question of truth and lies, and trust. Adele Parks has created a marvellous novel that will consume you as you try to separate the truth from the lies. There is a stark warning – be careful what you wish for. Be content with what you have.

The love of money, power and greed corrupts lives and hearts. When you take your eyes off people and look to your bank balance, you are in trouble. The totally pure in heart see money as a way to help others. The purely selfish see it as a way to feather their own nests.

Just My Luck was an all consuming read. I could not put it down. At one stage I literally gasped out loud.

An ordinary family. An ordinary life. A far from ordinary story. Adele Parks has created a marvellous, intricate and cleverly thought out plotline. This book will keep you up at night.

I received this book for free. A favourable review was not required and all views expressed are my own.
