My goodness what a book! I absolutely raced through this. Firstly I loved the author’s writing style, knowledgeable and clever, this book incredible. Every chapter ended on a crazy twist that made it really hard to put down. A truly menacing and memorable psychological thriller. Five stars xx

This is an entertaining fast paced thriller prefect for the beach.

Chris and Rose had been happily married for twenty years until Katie arrives at their door step.
Claiming that she is Chris's daughter from a long forgotten summer fling and that she had nowhere else to go, the couple invite her in.

From that moment onward strange things start happening including the mysterious disappearance of the couple's friend. Chris insists Katie is evil and had to go, but Rose disagrees and seems to be not so sure of who and what to trust anymore.

Thanks Netgalley, Bookouture, and author Jake Cross for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A normal, everyday family - (Rose, Chris, and their daughter, Julia (18), are in for a surprise!

They soon find out that Chris may be the father of 18 year old Katie. This, from a day-long affair Chris had before he even met Rose. Chris had never been in contact with Eve after that single day. Eve, Katie's mother, passed away but first told Katie about Chris.

So, Katie descends upon Chris and his family - motorcycle (hidden agenda?) and all. Katie and Chris both take DNA tests (7-10 days waiting period). And a lot happens during that time! Lies, deception, threats, chaos -
and yet we are waiting (not so patiently) to find out IF Katie really is Chris' daughter! Either way, what impact will this have on the family? A perfectly mastered suspense story with characters that sync together well!

Mystery/Suspense/Thriller - you've got it in this book by Jake Cross!

This is a great fast-paced thriller. It has unexpected twists and keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire book with its amazing plot.

Chris and Rose are the perfect couple. They’ve had a dream marriage and wonderful life together- what could be better after twenty blissful years?

One day teen Katie shows up at their door claiming to be Chris’s daughter. Say what? Katie pleads to the couple for help and despite Chris’s protests, Rose invites her to stay. Katie has recently lost her mother and has nowhere to stay now.

Strange things begin happening and Chris has had enough. He wants Katie out. He feels Katie is sinister, has ulterior motives and is dangerous. Why is Chris behaving so erratic to his own daughter? Rose isn’t sure who to trust.

Has Rose invited a dangerous stranger into her home? Or has she been living with one all along?

The Perfect Stranger is a thrilling, fast paced, quick read. Highly enjoyable and entertaining. Perfect for a “beach read” or rainy day read a thon.

Rose and Chris have been happily married for twenty years when Katie shows up on their doorstep. She claims to be Chris’s daughter from a long ago fling and she desperately needs a place to stay. The kind hearted couple take her in, but it’s not long before strange things begin to happen in the household. When a friend visiting the couple disappears, Chris has had enough and wants Katie out. He insists that the girl has sinister motives and is dangrous, but Rose isn’t so sure and wonders who she can really trust
