Thank you for the opportunity to preview Not Our Daughter. Wow. A couple is hiding out in a small Colorado town for years. Why because the Federal Bureau of Investigation is looking into a murder and they are the suspects.
They have hid out to protect their daughter. But their child is not theirS and they are hunted for killing her mother. They have lived in fear of being found and their daughter has no idea they are not her parents.
Fourteen years later they have a good life but they never know if someday the gig is over And that day is coming very soon like now!!!!!
Wow. Cat and mouse thriller that I could not put down. 5 stars.

Not Our Daughter by C. Zunker, published by Thomas & Mercer is a full length thriller that left me breath- and speechles, no less with a major bookhangover.
Cole and Lisa went underground for 13 long years. Taking their foster child and running was their only option. But now history is about to catch up with them.
A fast paced, complicated, complex read that let me fall for story and characters pretty quick, had me in suspense through all twists and turns till the last page.
Blurb: Thirteen years ago, Cole and Lisa Shipley were fostering an infant with hopes of adopting her. Overnight everything was turned upside down, when the child’s mother bled to death on their front doorstep. Her last He’s coming here…for her! Save her. Afraid, bewildered, and with a baby in their arms, they fled.
Now in a small Colorado town under assumed identities, they’ve been seemingly safe. But when a tip exposes them and Cole is framed, they take it on the run again, barreling across the western US—this time with a confused and resistant teenage girl. In the rearview is the relentless FBI agent who has never given up the hunt. And he’s not the only one.

I loved this one! 13 years ago they took their foster daughter and ran. Changed their names to avoid both danger and the police. This story picks up when that all starts to fall apart.

This story was action packed from start to finish. There was never a dull moment. I loved how much the family worked together to try to save themselves from danger coming from all angles.

And then the ending when we figure everything out was perfect. I don’t feel any parts of this book were super surprising or crazy twists, but it was so action packed it didn’t matter. They were basically on the run the entire story and all sorts of crazy stuff was happening.

I would read this author again.

Thank you to netgalley for this free advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thirteen years ago, Cole and Lisa Shipley were fostering an infant with hopes of adopting her. Overnight everything was turned upside down, when the child’s mother bled to death on their front doorstep. Her last words: He’s coming here…for her! Save her. Afraid, bewildered, and with a baby in their arms, they fled. The longer they hid, the guiltier they looked! Great read!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this one! This book had suspense, intriguing, action, murder, mystery, kidnapping, great shootouts, a sort of who done it and some crazy twists and turns! The story was very interesting and had me glued to my kindle! I highly recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley, the author and publisher for sharing this book with me!
