Thank you so much to NetGalley & Bookouture for allowing me to read this book early in exchange for a free and honest review. I’ve read this author’s precious work, The Family Guest & was so excited to hear they were coming out with another thriller. While this book was very good, there were some parts I found a little predictable but also some times where I wasn’t expecting the twist! If you’re looking for a thriller that involves family and some dark secrets, try this one out when it publishes on May 13th!!

Wow! I’m so lucky to have been able to read this early. Others not so fortunate are in for an amazing treat, start to finish! It’s one of the best psychological thrillers I’ve ever read and I’ve read a ton! The intricately woven story made me change my mind many times as to what was actually happening! The major players Ava, Ned, Isa, and Marley are complex and believable, with all kinds of secrets to be revealed. Add in the others, Gabe, Ava’s mother Rena, and background characters from the past and you’ve got all you need for an action-packed thriller. I absolutely loved this book and hope the author writes more!

Page gripping thriller. Oh my, this had me on the edge of my seat the entire way through the book, although I don’t agree with cheating Ava and Gabe’s relationship made my heart melt and really enjoyed the chapter of describing it.

It will take you on a twisty rollercoaster ride from page one right up to that mind blowing ending. It is well written, fast paced with well developed characters. I tried many times to figure this one out but always got it wrong so I gave up and just kept reading to see how it played out. Highly addictive and unputdownable, the family drama and mystery are unbelievable….This is an excellent story if you are a thriller fan,

The night nanny was great, good plot, great pacing, and a voice that jumps off the page.
Adrenaline charged...an action-packed, twist-a-minute thrill ride.

I really wanted to love this one! It was ok but the characters fell flat for me... I just didn't root for any of them, never cared who "won"...

I will say that the twists were really great though! And the idea of a thriller involving a nanny was super fun!

Nelle Lamarr has done it again! I was fortunate enough to get an ARC of The Night Nanny. It did not disappoint. Clear your schedule with this one, because you won't be able to put it down. I've now added Nelle Lamarr to my list of authors I will automatically buy, regardless of what the book is about. I'm very much looking forward to more from this author. Well done!

Wow! I read this book in one sitting! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and my jaw was on the floor through all the twists and turns. I love the writing style. Great description but not too much where you get bored. The pace of the book was very fast and kept me wanting more. So many twists and turns! The epilogue was fabulous too! Great book!

I wasn't keen on the writing style of this book unfortunately. Maybe I was comparing it to Freida McFadden. Thank you for the opportunity to read this one though! 3/5

I really wanted to like this book, but I really didn’t. It was advertised as a good pick for Freida McFadden lovers. It was my first read by this author. Writing seemed more like young adult. I didn’t care for the plot & felt the ending was disjointed and unraveled too quickly. It may seem like a minor detail, but I was really irritated by how the characters called their young live in nanny “Nurse Marley.” Seemingly minor detail but made the writing seem immature and unrealistic to me.

I always enjoy a good evil nanny story! This one was twisty and took alot of turns.
Some I predicted, some I didn't, but I was invested in Ava, Marley and Ned's story...anxious to see what was going on!
The climatic end was full of action and had me on edge.
I do think the epilogue with an extra twist wasn't necessary, but the bulk of the book was a very entertaining roller coaster.!

This boom is everything you look for in a suspense novel. You know something is up, but it keeps you guessing till the last page.
Would give this book 5 stars and recommend it to everyone.
Looking foward to more exciting novels from this writer.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
This thriller was a quick read but an overdone plot premise in my opinion. It was clear from the start how the story was going to play out and a couple of characters were awful from the beginning.

I am very grateful I was able to read this early.
As a postpartum nurse, let me start off by saying that this was all very accurate. Every condition and diagnosis was used correctly, which I greatly appreciated. I was drawn to this book, purely by the title. I didn't read the synopsis at all and going in blind, I was thrilled.
The amount of twists and turns in this book made me nauseated! I made notes as I read and every prediction (besides Marley was eventually going to try to take the baby,) was very, very wrong. This was unputdownable. Once I started reading, I flew through it.
The characters had great descriptions. I felt as if I'd known them longer than I had. Lamarr did a fantastic job of keeping

Wow! Just wow! This book was amazing! Loved reading it. It definitely is addictive. It was so good I went and purchased The Family Guest before I got on here to mark it as read.

Ava has her hands full with a complicated pregnancy putting her on bed rest and a work a holic spouse. Is it chance or fate she met the person who could help with all the struggles of being a new mom. The night nanny seems to good to be true. We all know what that means.

If you are on the fence for if you should or shouldn't read it.. READ IT! You won't regret it!

"The Night Nanny" is a book about about a woman who falls pregnant with a hard complicated pregnancy and her powerhouse husband isn't very caring so when the baby arrives they hire a night nanny which turns into a full time nanny. However all is not as it seems....
I have to say this book took my breath away, I didn't expect any of what happened and the twists were absolutely shocking! It's one of the best book of the year in my opinion as it's such a page turner and written so well you cannot put it down!

Oh wow! I could hardly put this book down! The Night Nanny was so good! I really like this author! I read Nelle Lamar’s first book, The Family Guest, last year and loved it too! I thought I knew how The Night Nanny was going to end, but I was way off! There was so many different twists in this book. This was an easy and fun read! Thanks to NetGalley for this awesome early review copy!

This book was fantastic I devoured it in a couple of sitting could not put it down. It was a gripping read with many turns in the story definitely a 5 start thriller. Ava has just had a baby and is struggling so she decides to get some help in a night nanny at first everything seems amazing with the new nanny but then start to spiral out of control for Ava. Who has she let in and is Ava and her new baby safe. This thriller had me on the edge of my seat throughout I think I have found my new favourite author. I can not wait to recommend this excellent book. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.
