Summary:

Emily and Sophia are living a quiet life living as mother and daughter in a small English town.

Emily is trying to live a low profile life working in a perfume store while her teenage daughter attends high school until Sophia starts getting some mysterious cyber messages. This opens up the spiral of many other shocking events happening in their normally quiet life. What is sneaking up from Emily’s past?

My Thoughts:

I enjoy all of Sue Watson’s books, and this is another captivating mystery. I would categorize this as more of a mysterious domestic drama than a thriller, but I did like the premise of the plot.

You can never go wrong with a Sue Watson book!

Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for the e-copy to read and review!

I am such a fan of Sue Waston's work. Her books are always mysterious and fast-paced, perfect for devouring in one sitting and The Nursery was no exception. In fact, I think this might be my new favourite from her.

Full of shocking, unexpected plot twists and edge-of-your-seat suspense, The Nursery was a real page turner!

This is such a fantastic written story I loved all the twists and turns it was like being on a rollercoaster I didn't want this story too end but such an amazing ending I never guessed I love a good thriller that keeps me on my

I enjoyed this one alot. I would give it 5 out of 5 stars. It has you guessing until the very end. Character and story build up was good.

Back to my favourite genre for this read - psychological thrillers are just a cut above the rest!

It follows the story of a single mom and her daughter who have run away from their family home. And my gosh, had an incredible twist at the end. At times it felt quite slow, but still kept me guessing overall which is definitely a good thing.

I always enjoy books from the author and this one didn't disappoint. Interesting characters and a bit of a twist on the missing child type plot.

First off, thank you to #Netgalley and the publisher for this arc. I loved the twists and turns and the tension as the plot sucked me in. I will be looking for more books by Sue Watson in the near future. Really enjoyed this one!

I have to start by saying that I would definitely say I am a fan of some of Sue Watsons books, however this one infuriated me beyond belief. Emily and her daughter Sofia are the stars of this latest story and at first it was pretty readable and it was very clear that Emily had run from something. The story flowed well and I got into it pretty quickly but there were a few niggles that continued to irritate and just seemingly got worse.

Emily as a Mother was ridiculously over the top, but I could forgive that to a point. However, considering she trusted nobody, she then decides to trust a dude she literally met five minutes before? That annoyed me, as did her friend Nancy. She needed a good slap and to be told to disappear off the face of the planet. The final and worst thing for me was the addition of stating the obvious at the end of what felt like every chapter!

These few niggles really put a dampner on this book for me and lessened the enjoyment hugely. It was still an okay read but nowhere near what I have come to expect from this author and this definitely wouldn’t be on my list of books from her I love.

I'm not sure the title really goes with the story. It was a long time before the nursery was even mentioned. However, the story itself was really good and well written. I especially liked the twist at the end.

My first book by this author. Great book. Lots of twists at the end I didn't see coming!!! I'm currently looking for more to read by Sue Watson.

This book was a complete roller-coaster that had me on the edge of my seat constantly. The constant twists had me totally hooked and I was anticipating the twists with my heart in my mouth. I loved the conclusion to this story and won't forget it in a long time.

Brace yourself for an adrenaline rush in this thriller, where danger lurks behind every corner and unexpected twists keep you enthralled. Loved every second of it

Emily and her teenage daughter Sofia live a quiet and normal life, but Emily feels like someone is watching them. The fear intensifies when someone breaks into their home and leaves a note.

This is such a gripping page turner with lots of twists to keep you on your toes. The suspense builds as you know something bad is about to happen but not exactly what.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Nursery by Sue Watson was a great read. Lots of twists and turns, I struggled to put it down it hooked me in and kept me wanting more. Recommended for anyone wanted a great psychological thriller.

This was a whirlwind of a book! There were so many twists and turns it kept me engaged and turning the pages. It grabbed my attention on the first page and didn’t let go until the very end. I am excited to read more from the author in the future! Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher, for a chance to read and review this book.

A physcological thriller with mind blowing twists and I had no idea who to trust. The twists are wicked and never ending.

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. This was a good read, with an unusual premise, good characters and good writing. Kept me reading to the end!

I have been a fan of Sue Watson so I was really looking forward to this but it just didn't suck me in like some of her other novels have. Maybe I'm just burnt out on this kind of plot recently. I think this is great for an easy beach read though!!

Another smasher of a story from the amazing Sue Watson!

Emily knows what it’s like to run from your past as she took her young daughter, Sofia, at the age of 3 years old, and did just that. Now 12 years later mother and daughter are nicely settled in Sidmouth, a charming seaside town in Devon. Emily has a nice job in a perfume shop, Sofia is settled in school with a good group of friends, and all is well in their world. But suddenly Sofia starts to act strangely, she begins asking questions about her and her mother’s past. Then when Emily finds out she has been messaging a stranger on social media, who seems to know a lot about Emily and Sofia’s life, she is terrified that someone knows her secret and is willing to spill it to her daughter. Things escalate when a sinister note arrives and Emily feels like someone is constantly watching their flat, she has tried to protect her daughter for 12 long years but feels she is suddenly losing control of everything she has tried so hard to conceal in the hope of keeping Sofia safe. Will all the secrets that Emily has managed to hide for so long emerge? And what will happen to Emily and Sofia’s relationship if the past catches up with them?

Another great story from Sue Watson. As per every one of her books I read I was hooked within pages of the start, the pace was great, and I didn’t want to stop reading as the story went on. At times I felt Emily was a little frustrating as I could see that her lying to Sofia would just push Sofia further away, but I also could understand she was trying desperately to protect her. The twist at almost the halfway mark was a shock and I did not see that coming. I did figure out that someone wasn’t as they seemed, but I was still shocked to see I was right. I loved the fact that one of the characters really came through right at the end, which gave me a little bit of a warm and fuzzy feeling. As for the end twist- one word is all that is needed- WOWSERS! I did NOT see that coming so great job by Sue Watson!

Sue Watson weaves the most enthralling tale that can’t help but pull you in and keep you turning pages. A thrilling ride and I highly recommend this book for any psychological thriller fans, you will not be disappointed! Totally deserved 5 stars!

Thank you to NetGalley, Sue Watson and Bookouture for my advanced reading copy. Out now.

A gripping, engaging, fast paced thriller with distinct characters, lots of twists and a nerve wracking situation at its centre!
