They called themselves “the lucky ones”

They were seven children either orphaned or abandoned by their parents and chosen by legendary philanthropist and brain surgeon Dr. Vincent Capello to live in The Dragon, his almost magical beach house on the Oregon Coast. Allison was the youngest of the lucky ones living an idyllic life with her newfound family…until the night she almost died, and was then whisked away from the house and her adopted family forever.

Now, thirteen years later, Allison receives a letter from Roland, Dr. Capello’s eldest son, warning her that their father is ill and in his final days. Allison knows she must go home again and confront the ghosts of her past. She’s determined to find out what really happened that fateful night—was it an accident, or, as she’s always suspected, did one of her beloved family members try to kill her?

But digging into the past can reveal horrific truths, and when Allison pieces together the story of her life, she learns the terrible secret at the heart of the family she once loved but never really knew.

Review

Part mystery, part Gothic suspense...an atmospheric and provocative tale of love, lies, and the secrets a family keeps. THE LUCKY ONES is masterfully crafted with a rich setting and complex characters, an immensely satisfying read that kept me flipping the pages and guessing until the end. I highly recommend." - Kerry Lonsdale, WSJ Bestselling Author

I highly recommend this unique book. It was classified as Romance fiction so I almost didn't read it. I generally go for mysterious and spooky. I truly couldn't put it down. Well developed, likeable characters, and plenty of mystery. Lots of twists and turns. Hoping you read and enjoy!

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!

I have learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to a Tiffany Reisz book. She is full of surprises when it comes to her writing skills. She can write such a wide variety of genres, and literally make it work no matter what. To me, this is exactly what a phenomenally talented author can do. Such strong writing, excellent character development, and she literally led me down the rabbit hole in The Lucky Ones!

We meet twenty five year old Allison Lamarque just as her six year relationship with Cooper McQueen, as his mistress is coming to an end. The last six years of her life has been spent at his beck and call. Cooper was completely honest with Allison and told her about an unplanned and unexpected pregnancy, he would soon have a new baby in his life.

"Lovers lied to protect the loved one. No love to protect meant no need for lies."

Allison receives a letter in the mail from her foster brother, Roland. The only man that she ever considered her father, Dr. Capello is dying. She has not heard from or seen anyone from her childhood in thirteen long years. She lived with Dr. Capello, his adopted son Roland, Deacon and adopted daughter Thora for four years. They lived on the beach beside the ocean on the coast of Oregon, in a house called The Dragon House. Allison would have been adopted as well by Dr. Capello, that was the plan, but something mysterious with an air of evil happened to her at the Dragon House. Something that was never discussed, or explained in detail to Allison. She was taken away to live with her only living relative, an elderly aunt, in a retirement home.

"The companions of our childhood always possess a certain power over our minds which hardly any later friend can obtain."

Allison returns to Oregon, to see her childhood family and home once again. She owes it to Dr. Capello, her foster siblings but most importantly, herself. She has always had burning questions about that part of her life. She deserves to know what really happened to her in that house. She had a real family and felt loved there, but the strangest part to me, is that she has no memory of that fateful day when she was ripped away from all that was comforting and familiar to her.

"She was woven so easily and so quickly back into the fabric of life at The Dragon that she hadn't noticed it happening. No one remarked on it. No one treated her like a houseguest. perhaps the cord had never been broken between her and them. Perhaps all it took was one quick tug, one little stitch to weave her back into the fold."

I have read and loved all of this authors books. This one is shrouded in mystery, there is evil lurking around the corners, and it kept me guessing right up til the end about how it all was going to turn out. That is one of the many reasons I love her books. They are by no means predictable, it certainly is not the same old plot that we read numerous times in different books. Tiffany Reisz is in a genre all on her own, and she is untouchable. She is not afraid to branch out, and I just know that she has many more surprises yet to come.

The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz
Source: Netgalley and Purchase
My Rating: 5 HUGE stars

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 😊

Sincerely,
RoloPoloBookBlog

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 😊

Reading a Tiffany Reisz story is always a unique experience. The Lucky Ones is not easy, and at the same time, it kept filling my heart with love. Second chance at a damiky, second chance at live and joy. But at what price?

The author worked magic, weaving a thrilling and mysterious plot. She intrigued me thanks to characters as deep as it comes. 

This is a book that made me think and consider the morality of scientific progress. 

Moving on implies making choices and not easy ones. I loved the path I was taken on. The atmosohere felt exceptionally vivid, I both couldn’t wait to reach the conclusion and would have wanted to stay there with them forever. 

A savory tale about forgiveness, family, and love. Brilliant.

New to me author & I have to say I loved this. I love unusual, gripping, suspenseful reads & this more than ticked all the boxes.

The concept was unique, the portrayal & the development of the leading characters was captivating & I found myself utterly absorbed in the pages, unable to put my kindle down.

I liked how Tiffany kept me hanging until near the end, & no matter how much I thought I knew what was going to happen, she still managed to pull the rug from under me. Clever plot twists really did me hooked.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing... Tiffany Reisz, I think you have a new fan.
Reviewed in Australia on September 18, 2019
Verified Purchase
I had never read a Tiffany Reisz book before but the blurb of "The Lucky Ones" intrigued me and despite it not being my usual jam, I bought it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

This book has a bit of everything - angst, drama, a smattering of romance and one very big twist and it all came together in a really well written book that kept me guessing until the end.

I must say - it did make me feel a bit squirrelly in places as the story line does deal with some murky ethical issues that really made you think. I found myself constantly weighing up the pros and cons of the actions of one of the characters and whether the decisions he made were morally correct but the characters were so wonderful and it was such a good story that you ended up rooting for everyone in the end.

If you like your books a little bit deeper than your everyday women's fiction, give this one a go. I am now off to peruse the rest of Tiffany's catalogue and I hope the rest of her books are just as good.
