Bit of a wild ride this one.
I'd have happily read it I one sitting if life hadn't got in the way.
A remote cottage on a dangerous stretch of road, and a slightly unhinged solitary lady, its a recipe for disaster.
Or chaos.
Choas was what we got, in the best possible way.
Revelation after revelation were just mad, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
One of those really good fun books that leave you wondering what the heck you just read!
The Survivors tells the story of the aftermath of a deadly car crash. This is a roller coaster of a ride which keeps you guessing.
A car accident on the dark misty edge of a cliff leaves two women in the hospital and only one of their babies survives. It’s a devastating premise, but the way it’s written, you really don’t focus on the loss of the child, which could be overwhelming.
The crash happened near the clifftop cottage of Maura Claffey. Her niece, Finn, was one of the victims. Finn has never met her aunt Maura and her hopes of a loving family reunion were dashed once the accident occurred. Maura takes her in but she is nothing like Finn expected. A short visit turns into months of recuperating and the longer she stays, the more she regrets ever coming to meet Maura.
The other woman involved in the crash is Kathryn and she is nursed back to health by a carer paid for by her wealthy family. She’s adjusting to her new way of life but can’t help the flashes of memory that keep coming through of the aftermath of the crash. Is her memory playing tricks on her because of the damage she suffered? Or is the truth something that neither mother could ever have seen coming?
This story was awesome! The characters, Maura in particular, will stay with you long after you finish reading. Half the time you want to pity her and the other half you want to throttle her! Every character believes family to be important above all else and they use that familial bond to justify their behavior. In some cases, you can empathize, but in others…whoo boy.
The farther you get into the book, the more you will be surprised by the revelations that appear out of nowhere and cause you to re-think where the story is headed. Believe me, it’s not where you think!
A fatal car crash with only one witness but is she telling the truth? On a winding cliff edge on the wild Irish coast, two cars collide. In one is Maura Claffey’s niece, Finn, and her baby daughter. In the other, Kathryn with her own newborn and her own secrets. Both women survive, but one of the girls does not! Wow that was a twisty crazy read! Lots of family secrets!! It also had suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, a sort of who done it and lots of secrets! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!
Be forewarned: this book will give you whiplash. Maura’s niece is on her way to meet her for the first time when a devastating crash happens outside her cottage. Two young mother’s lives are about to have their lives turned upside down. I don’t want to give anything away, as it will ruin the story. This book had me on the edge of my seat, my jaw dropped, I was shaking my head, and just completely overcome with so many emotions. Sympathy, shock, sadness, dismay, & anger. I went through it all! This is a wild ride!

This story has many different twists and turns. Don't try to predict anything with this book because 99% of the time, you will be wrong.
A must-read that will leave you on the edge of your seat, wanting more.
