I really enjoyed this book I enjoy most everything by this author but this was especially good I recommend this to anyone who's looking for something great to read

The Ones We Love is a gripping psychological thriller that keeps you guessing from start to finish! 🕵️‍♀️ The Jansen family is hiding some dark secrets after a mysterious party weekend leaves 22-year-old Liv with bruises and locked out of her own room. As her parents behave oddly and her best friend goes silent, you can feel the tension building. 📉

Janus, the father, is consumed by guilt over his dreams of making it in Hollywood, while Kay, the mother, struggles with her sacrifices for the family. Meanwhile, youngest son Casper senses something's off and decides to uncover the truth behind the padlocked door. 🔑

Snoekstra expertly weaves together suspense, family dynamics, and the weight of secrets in a way that kept me turning the pages. This book is a haunting reminder of how love can complicate the darkest truths. A must-read for fans of thrilling family dramas! 📚✨

This was brilliant. I have previously enjoyed Out of Breath by this author. This is one of those books that will stay with you for a long time. The twists were shocking . Highly recommend.

Big thanks to NetGalley for this ARC! What a book! This book had my attention from the beginning. Full of twist and turns and I liked the ending! Add this to your big TBR pile lol

The Jansen family has relocated from Australia to LA so Janus could adapt his horror novel to a screenplay. But not everyone in the family is happy with the move. The daughter Liv is trying to make her way in the fashion world. When she wakes up after a party covered in bruises and with no memory of the evening, she struggles to find answers. Then she finds her bedroom padlocked because of a supposed “mold problem” and her parents acting strangely and avoiding her. Her brother Casper is miserable in LA and now he is concerned about what is going on with his family. His mother Kay and father are acting very suspiciously and Liv is not herself. But someone definitely knows what is going on with the Jansen family and is demanding money in exchange for silence. This was a twisty read that I really enjoyed with an ending I did not see coming!

What a surreal experience! Snoekstra leads you down one path only to shock you with another !

When Liv wakes up after a weekend party she finds horrible bruises and scratches. Their is a padlock on her door for "safety" and she is told to room with her brother until the mold is cleared out. This is a strange scene and becomes stranger as we get to know the rest of the Austrialian family that has moved to LA for father Janus' screenplay dreams.

Snoekstra keeps turning the screws and slowly adding ingredients to up the tension. Great thriller!

Teenager Liv wakes up with bruises but can't remember how she got them. Her parents are acting strange, and her little brother is clueless about the three of them. When he and a buddy decide to investigate the mystery, they find that everyone has been keeping secrets.

If you enjoy seeing how deep a hole dysfunctional and non-communicative families can dig themselves into by trying to protect one of their own, this is the book for you. I found what the parents did to hide a crime a bit far fetched but it did make for a suspenseful book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

This book was so suspenseful I found myself up at 3am to finish it. Being able to get all the families point of views and thoughts during this thriller truly added so much character depth. I loved Casper’s character and how he actively investigated on his own, and the twists that happened truly shocked me and weren’t predictable at all. It was a delight to read and I’ll definitely be recommending this to others

This book was a pleasure to read. Multiple twists and turns that had me staring at my screen wondering what I just read. There were definitely some layers going on in this family!!

This book reminded me why I do not usually pick up domestic thrillers. Everything seemed very anticlimactic and unbelievable.
