Thanks NetGalley publishers and author for this advance readers copy!
I enjoyed this book! I read through this in a breeze.
I enjoyed the characters of this book!
The twist was a major plus! I did feel though this book lagged in a few areas.
But overall a good book!

This is the best book I have read in years! It was full of twists and turns and red herrings. I couldn’t put it down and stayed up hours past my bedtime to finish it! I look forward to many more books by the pair of authors.

Olivia (Liv) Granger is out for revenge against Sophy Pemberton. Liv believes Sophy is responsible for her brothers death 16 years earlier. Liv seeks her out at an elite play group, "Mums Meet Up".

Liv is currently a Nanny to an 18 month old little girl, Evie, in the neighborhood for a couple Clare and Gary. While they become friends, she tells Sophy about how she is unhappy and will be leaving her current nanny position. Sophy is struggling being a new mom, although currently getting help from her mother-in-law, she decides to hire Liv to help care for her 9 month old little boy, Finn.

Things start to go down hill for Sophy after Liv becomes her nanny. The worst is when Finn goes missing. Did Liv take him or was someone else responsible and why?

This was a great book and I was impressed with the author's writing and how the book came to a
dramatic conclusion.


Many thanks to NetGalley and HQ Digital for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy. I went through most of this book thinking predictable and it was anything but. The secrets that came out at the end. The twists as to who was the bad guy...didn't see any of those coming. While I would say this is just an average thriller throughout, the ending was good.

A truly sinister thriller. Do you know where your children are and with whom? This book is going to keep a lot of parents up at night. Expertly put together and extremely fast paced, it plays on our deepest fears. I highly recommend this book.

A wickedly clever page-turner.
Sophy Pemberten, a freaking mom of a little baby Finn living with her husband Dom. She's a struggling mother and not doing great. She'd joined a mom and baby group but didn't get much help until she met Liv Granger. Liv Granger is young, beautiful who offered her to be Finn's nanny and Sophy agreed. Sophy didn't want Dom's mom Elizabeth around much because she thinks that she only comes for Finn and she doesn't like it.
But Liv is not who Sophy thinks she's. She had a brother named Ben who died sixteen years ago and she believes that Sophy is somehow responsible for his death or at least it's the story she's sticking to. She has a mom who's on the wheel chair due to an accident. . And now she's in Sophy's life because she wants to make her pay.
But the story is not as simple as it seems. There are some things which Liv did but there are other things that she swear she didn't do or know about.
Then one day someone takes Finn. Who are they? And what they want?
Someone else other than Liv is holding a grudge against Sophy but who?
Will Sophy be able to save her son? Or something else would happen?
Well, there are other characters like Ryan, Ben's best friend and now Liv's best friend, Freya, a carer of Liv's mother Martha, Isaac, Sophy's friend, Kim and Alice from mom and baby group who are there to mislead the readers. I loved the characters of Liv, Freya, Dom and Martha. On the other hand I didn't like Sophy much because she was just pathetic most of the time.
Narration of the story is smooth. I didn't know exactly when I started this book and when it ended.
If you love psychological thrillers then Amanda's and Karen's this mail biting psychological thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last word.
Thanks to NetGalley and HQ for giving me an advanced copy of this nail biting psychological thriller.
