My Review‼️🏘

Written by Sue Fortin,

Blurb;

Amelia is drowning. She’d give anything to soothe her new baby and snatch a few desperate hours of sleep. While her husband, Nathan, works late, Amelia sees shadows moving in the walled garden of their remote farmhouse. She locks every door at night and finds them open by morning.

Then she hires Lena, a young nanny with a miraculous way with Oscar, and everything starts to get better. It should be a relief. Instead, dread coils tighter in Amelia’s chest.

Because there are still footprints in the flowerbeds. Because Nathan is taking whispered phone calls. And because Lena watches Amelia with something that looks almost like pity, or anger. As exhaustion blurs the line between paranoia and reality, Amelia asks herself: is motherhood breaking her? Or has she let a dangerous stranger into her home?

This twisty domestic thriller is perfect for readers who love:

A bombshell, never-saw-it-coming twist

Isolated rural setting that breeds paranoia

Twisty family dynamics and devastating secrets

An anonymous warning

A charming manipulator hiding in plain sight

A new mother fighting to save her child

The nanny knows everything

Secret affairs

My Review;

This book drew me in from the very beginning, telling the story of Amelia and Nathan, who have been trying for a baby, and had rounds of IVF, without success, who then go on to adopt. They are first going to adopt a baby called Greta, - who apparently gets recalled by the mother at the eleventh hour, only for them then to be offered a second child; baby Oskar; soon to be baby Oscar.

I don't want to comment too much further on the story line, as I don't want to give away any spoilers, but I can assure you that this takes you on an emotional roller coaster ride, from start, to finish!

Based on a rating of 1-10, where 10 is the highest, I would give this book a rating of 8! = Deffo a MUST-read if you're a fan of psychological thrillers!!! 👌👌👌
