The Lucky Ones

Written by Kiersten Modglin

Narrated by Linda Jones

They were supposed to die.

Five years ago, the residents of the Gerbera subdivision in the small town of Fallen Oaks were brutally murdered in their beds. The only survivors, now called The Fallen Oaks Five, were children—practically strangers at the time, forever connected by the weight of all they witnessed.

Now grown, the anniversary of their families’ deaths approaches and the Fallen Oaks Five receive letters of warning: the killers are still out there and they aren’t finished with them.
In a race against time and murderers who remain both faceless and nameless, the Five must return to their old homes in order to piece together the events of a night they’d all rather forget.

Their old town is riddled with secrets, and every person they come into contact with is a suspect.
With everything at stake, can the Five solve the mystery and finally learn the truth about the night that cost them everything? Or will they find themselves victims of a fate they should’ve succumbed to years ago?

Reviews for The Lucky Ones

[Shannon Whitt · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

[Sydnee Lynne · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The epilogue was weird… enjoyed it overall felt fast cool story could have used more juice less rush,

[ianrosales08 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The book starts with a very good premise wherein the survivors of a massacre received individual letters on the anniversary of the horrific event that changed their lives. They decided to get in touch with one another and went back to the place where everything started.

I adore the beginning of the book. I expected more in terms of plot twist and character development but I feel like the big reveal and the ending needs more in terms of connecting the event to people and instances that felt a little bit absurd.

Enjoyable story, had some twists I didn’t see coming. Not a very thrilling thriller— more cozy with some dark aspects than anything.

[Landi Tichler · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

[Eedge Eeva · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

It was different and unexpected. I thought there will be some magical explanation as couldn't see how this could end logically but I was wrong, the twist and ending was logical and provided all the necessary answers to wrap up the story.
