Dear Tiffany Reisz,

Is it absolutely necessary and/or mandatory for you to break my brain every damn time I read one your luscious, sick, twisted books? Yes? Really? FINE! Then I shall continue to buy your books and know my brain is going to be melted at the end, and you shall be giggling manically somewhere in the world 😊

Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way . . . .

I always know Tiffany Reisz’s books are going to be dark and twisted, but even I didn’t see this business coming. At its core, The Lucky Ones is a morally squishy tale of an ethically squishy medical doctor whose intentions may have been good and right, but his actions, well, ethically squishy.

To all the world, Dr. Vincent Capello is a saint, a doctor/surgeon who often works for free to help the less fortunate. Additionally, Dr. Capello has taken in several of his charity cases over the years, adopted more than a few, and fostered many others. Oh, yes, to the world, Dr. Capello is a saint. To his adopted children, Dr. Capello is no different, and perhaps even more; to his adopted children, Dr. Capello is a savior, a man selfless and giving, kind and caring, and patient beyond belief.
But there are two sides to every story . . . .

Allison was meant to be one of Dr. Capello’s adopted kids, but thanks to a freak accident, she was taken away and raised by her aging aunt far, far away from the home and foster siblings she had come to know and love. In the years since, Allison has often wondered about her foster family and the accident that took her away from the one place she thought she would always be safe and loved. It isn’t until her “boyfriend” dumps her and her favorite of the foster siblings reaches out with devastating news that Allison considers going home. But, going home is never easy, and Allison has some serious questions and concerns about her time in her former foster home.

As soon as Allison arrives at her former home, she is forced to face not only her feelings from the past, but the irksome feeling that she has forgotten something vitally important about her past, her time in the Capello’s home. Every encounter with her former foster siblings answers a few questions, but leaves her with many, many more. In fact, it doesn’t take more than a day for Allison to figure out the Capello home is full of inconsistencies and lies, a situation she just can’t tolerate. Not one to let a lie go, Allison begins poking around in the past, asking questions Dr. Capello would rather never have asked. With every new path of inquiry, Allison discovers sinister goings on that involve her far more deeply than she could have ever imagined. In fact, when the truth comes to light, Allison isn’t at all sure she’s safe in the home she once loved so dearly.

The Bottom Line: I knew this story was going to be twisted, but I had no idea it would be the kind of twisted it is! I listened to this book on Audible and am fairly certain my mouth was hanging open the whole time the big, ugly truth was being revealed. Here’s the real dirty secret: like the fictional serial killer, Dexter, you know you’re meant to disapprove of the information being given and the actions that have been taken, but you also understand the logic and reasoning behind the actions. In fact, by the time I finished this book, my own sense of morality over the information and actions in this read felt squishy. I’m fairly certain that was the author’s intention and ultimately loved every second of this read. I have said it before and I am saying it again, Tiffany Reisz doesn’t just write, she crafts, she weaves, she winds, she twists and turns, and she leaves you wondering what the hell just happened by the end of the read. By the way, you LOVE every second, every minute of her madness and often can’t put the book down. Hands down, Tiffany Reisz is one of the most gifted and twisted among her contemporaries and I am absolutely certain I will be taking many, many more trips down the rabbit hole with her.

P.S. Tiffany Reisz and Colleen McCullough are the only two authors out there who can make sleeping with a man of the cloth not only acceptable, but also sexy 😊

The Lucky Ones Tiffany Reisz 9780778331162 Books Reviews

I haven’t read all of her books but I’ve read a lot of her books and if you’re looking for Original Sinners type of stuff then you needn’t look here. This is unlike anything I’ve read from the great Tiffany!!! It’s not even anything close to The Burbon Thief or The Night Mark. This book was suspenseful and a bit twisted imo. It had me at the start and this kind of read isn’t even close to being in my comfort zone (no smutty filth😂). BUT that said, it was a really mind blowing read! Ofc the writing was impeccable and the descriptions were top notch. The characters were flawed (that’s an understatement of the century) and the plot thickened with every word. I really liked this book because of the interesting story. Dr. Capello was what we thought the knight in shining armor but what we find out was he was the knight playing God. Imo it was for a good cause and it ended up working out in the end at a price. I can’t imagine the amount of time that went into the research for this book and that blows me away. If you are into some suspense with a thrill you should check this out!
This book was a little unexpected gem of a novel. As a big fan of Tiffany Reisz, I have read everything she has written (most of them more than once). This book was a departure from her other offerings, but I really liked it. It is an emotional ride and at times, leans toward the macabre. These characters are certainly not as colorful as her other novels; however, for this story, they are perfectly "dark". I read this in one sitting and it left me with slight emotional "hangover". I recommend all of Ms. Reisz's novels and this is no exception. I do however think that these "dark" characters seem almost one-dimensional as compared to others she has created. I must admit that I tend to like the others better.
The Lucky Ones gave me goosebumps. Both the good kind and the even better kind... Reisz' writing keeps getting better and better, and this incredibly well-written, character-driven story left me with all the feels.

The character development blew me away, and while there were parts of the story that kind of bordered on creepy, it never crossed over completely. This review was originally posted on (un)Conventional Bookviews

Story
The Lucky Ones starts with a low for Allison, as McQueen leaves her after several years of having her as his secret lover. However, on the same day, she also receives a letter. From someone she used to call her brother. Thirteen years ago. In that letter, she learns that her almost-adoptive father is fatally ill. And she decides to go back to the dragon - the house where she was happy for the first time after her mother's death.

There is so much that is unresolved in The Lucky Ones! There are three of the children who lived in the house when Allison was there. These three were adopted by the good doctor. As soon as Allison arrives, she is inundated with memories. Some she had completely repressed. Others had been part of helping her move forward in her life. However, not all the memories she have are good.

Between the doctor and the three remaining orphans, everything is fine on the surface. But as soon as Allison starts to look a little beneath that surface, there is some ugliness. Secrets. Hidden agendas. And some taboo relationships. The Lucky Ones managed to mix family secrets, redemption, romance, mystery and a bit of suspense into a deliciously gothic package.
