Gripping and unputdownable - Mandasue Heller's best yet. Loved it! - Kimberley Chambers
Mandasue Heller never disappoints! The Family is a gritty, fast-paced, compelling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat. - Roberta Kray
It was terrifying! I kept thinking I'm so glad my husband's family isn't like this! Great writing with characters you love to hate. A frightening cautionary tale that stays with you after you've finished reading it, Mandasue Heller's at the top of her game. - Heather Atkinson
A real page-turner. - Kerry Barnes
Once again Mandasue has delivered. The Family is a gritty, fast-paced story and a must read for any fans of gangland fiction. A real page-turner full of twists and turns that has you rooting for the characters - Kerry Kaya
A dark, gritty, and unputdownable read! ★★★★★... I've loved all of her previous books, but Mandasue has outdone herself with The Family. Her storytelling is unmatched with characters so vivid they leap off the page. - D.S. Butler / Dani Oakley
