Lottery of SecretsLottery of Secrets by Nadija Mujagic
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Lottery Series. This is a psychological Thriller with lots of twists and turns. I was gripped from the beginning and couldn’t put it down. I like the first book that it’s part of a series and was left with an open ending so i can’t wait to find out what happens next.
My heart went out to Lynn. She has a traumatic and a scary life living with her partner is abusive. It’s been a tough life walking on eggshells to avoid beatings. And now she has found out that she is dying of cancer.
When she finally gets some good luck in the form of a lottery win, Lynn knows what she must do to make sure she can die in peace and that isn’t leave it to her abusive partner.
However once he finds out about the win he starts making plans that Lynn has no intention of making happen.
As Lynn struggles with her illness while sorting out her win there is more dangerous elements. At first Lynn was sure it would be her partner that would kill her for the money, however things take a sinister turn when a stranger becomes an even bigger risk and threat to her life.
How far are they prepared to go to get their hands on Lynn’s money.

This is a story of danger, angst, secrets and lies which makes it a rollercoaster of a read.

I don’t usually read thrillers. I came across this book and the blurb drew me in. I was intrigued. Mitch has a good life. He’s married to a woman whom he loves very much. He’s an accomplished scholar and professor at a university. He also has a blown up sense of self importance. I struggled to like him. You find out that his childhood wasn’t the most pleasant. I kind of felt bad for him but I believe in karma so he got what he deserved.

The story has many twists and turns. The author did a good job keeping the reader guessing “ who done it”. There were times that I was confused because there are two characters talking in the first person but the chapters didn’t differentiate between the two. I also found the story to be a little slow at times. Honestly I was disappointed with the ending. The book started off really well then took a slow nosedive.
