Lucinda Berry
Kayleigh's Thoughts
Lucinda Berry’s The Perfect Child reads like a 2000s-era psychological thriller you can’t look away from, complete with a disturbing child, spiraling parents, and tension that builds with every chapter. While the plot feels familiar, Berry executes it with enough suspense and emotional weight to keep you turning the pages. The novella-length sequel, A Welcome Reunion, offers a welcome (pun intended) sense of closure while still leaving you with lingering questions. It’s classic Lucinda Berry—tight, disturbing, and just unresolved enough to keep the story echoing in your mind.
If you’ve ever watched a creepy child thriller and wanted just one more chapter—this duology delivers it.
