This book grabbed me right away and did not let go until that last twist! I'm Here to Help does deal with some triggering subjects such as gaslighting, manipulation, infidelity and sexual assault / rape so beware and protect your mental health. I did feel like the beginning was a bit slower than I expected but it does quickly ramp up into the tension filled and suspenseful thriller that I love! Definitely give this one a shot if you like reading twisty stories with unexpected endings!

Thank you to NetGalley for an ARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review.

To say I was hooked on this book as soon as I’d finished the prologue is no lie . I just knew this was going to be one of those can’t put down reads . I was captivated by this story until the very last sentence . Claire Lunn isn’t an author I’m familiar with but I now have her on my list of favourite authors. This is a fast paced psychological thriller with plenty of twists and turns that had my heart racing at times. Of course I was positive I had everything worked out in my head as to what was going on and then to discover I was completely off track. I found myself not knowing who to trust as I progressed through the book. To wrap up this was a fabulous read and well deserving of 5 ⭐️

I was delighted to have the opportunity to listen to the audio version of this book via NetGalley. The narrator Elizabeth Bower was excellent and made the audio listen feel so real . A wonderful narrator

This book is a good domestic mystery. However, if you don’t like the main woman protagonist constantly being gaslit this book it not for you. I was close to DNFing but it was compelling enough to want to finish. The narrator did a great job.

This one was tough to get though because the entire thing was so negative towards the MC. Sort of miserable to read and I wanted her to just take the baby and leave her shitty life. Ending was engaging though!

I listened to a audio copy and was hooked immediately. The narrator was fantastic! This is one of those stories you think you have figured out from the beginning but trust me when I say you don’t. If you like fast paced thrillers that will keep you on the edge of your seat, you don’t want to miss this one.

Thank you Bookouture Audio & NetGalley for an advanced audio version in exchange for my review.

I’m Here To Help by Claire lunn and narrated by Elizabeth Bower is a fast pace thriller. Frankie has the most severe case of morning sickness you can get and needs help with her toddler Olivia. Unfortunately Russell and his mom decide they’re hiring Jasmine. Frankie doesn’t know Jasmine and from the beginning she finds the whole situation suspect as time goes on of course strange things start to happen Frankie’s made to look unstable and as if she’s losing her mind and she believes Jasmine is the culprit. She also believes Jasmine is having an affair with Russell. by the time she learns the truth she may not have anyone to tell. This was so good I always say the end of the story can absolutely change how you thought of the whole book and the end of this one was a doozy. With the great narration setting a tone that really had me sitting up in bed heart palpitating waiting to find out what was going on. anyone who loves thrillers will absolutely enjoy this book I don’t believe I’ve ever read a book by this author before but I will definitely read another in the future. It was greatly executed with a wild ending. I listen to the audio version and the Kindle and either one would be a great choice although I love a good narrator and Elizabeth Bower is definitely that.#NetGalley, #BookToursAudio, #TheBlindReviewer, #MyHonestReview, #ClaireLunn, #I’mHereToHelp, #ElizabethBower,

I’m Here to Help is a psychological thriller following Jackie, a pregnant woman whose husband hires a live-in nanny to help care for their 3-year-old daughter. I felt so conflicted the entire time - this book had me totally gripped, but also emotionally overwhelmed. I was frustrated, anxious, and desperate to find out what would happen next.

Elizabeth Bower did an incredible job bringing the story to life - every emotion, every shift in tone was delivered so well. There were moments where a sinister line or subtle threat made me feel genuinely uneasy, which really elevated the whole experience.

Unfortunately, the ending didn’t quite land for me - the twist was almost exactly as I suspected early on and I was left with too many unanswered questions to feel fully satisfied.

This one drags you straight in and what you think you know … you don’t! Where you think it’s going … it’s not! Who you can trust … will be questioned throughout. I enjoyed how this one played out. The narration was very engaging especially when it came to Olivia (you’ll see what I mean 🤗). You have both likeable and totally unlikeable characters. This was an engaging listen that keeps you guessing.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture Audio for the opportunity to listen and review #ImHereToHelp

Claire Lunn’s I’m Here to Help is a gripping and emotionally resonant thriller that taps into a parent’s deepest fears—what happens when the very people meant to help become part of the problem? From the opening pages, this story draws you in with its haunting premise and refuses to let go.

Lunn expertly builds suspense, creating a slow-burning tension that keeps readers questioning every motive and detail. Just when you think you understand the direction, the story takes a sharp, unexpected turn that redefines everything you thought you knew. The twist is not only surprising but also thought-provoking, adding depth to the emotional journey of the characters.

The pacing is perfectly controlled, with a narrative that holds tight to your attention and never lets up. Lunn’s writing shines in its ability to stir both empathy and unease, making it impossible to stop reading.

I’m Here to Help is a standout psychological thriller—unsettling, poignant, and utterly compelling. It’s a must-read for fans of domestic suspense who are drawn to stories that challenge perceptions and push emotional boundaries.

I approached this book with hesitation, as it first appears to be a typical thriller with the evil nanny (I read TOO MANY thrillers). However, once the plot started unfolding, I began to see that I might be wrong—very wrong. While the suspicious behaviors mount and the suspense heightens, it becomes clear that things are not as they seem and I had to find out what happens. The suspense kept going to the very end and the twist made me re-think all of my initial impressions of the characters and the plot, just like any successful psychological thriller. i’m Here to Help is an excellent book; so enthralling that I am hungover from the excitement and intense suspense that kept me listening. Bravo to the excellent narrator as well. Thank you to Bookouture and Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

I'm Here to Help" is a chilling and immersive psychological thriller that had me hooked from the very first chapter. The narrator brought each character to life so vividly, enhancing the suspense with every twist and turn. Claire Lunn delivers a gripping story full of manipulation, secrets, and jaw-dropping revelations—an excellent listen I couldn’t pause. Highly recommend for fans of dark, twisty audiobooks! #ImHeretoHelp #NetGalley

I'm Here to Help by Claire Lunn is a blood-boiling, frustrating, steam-coming-out-of-your-ears psychological thriller with a jaw-dropping twist! Yes - finally I am getting my jaw on the floor because whatever I expected I never expected to end like this!
When I say it's frustrating - oh my, brace yourself! So many times I was ready through my phone and headphones in the corner. Some chapters made me so mad and angry that I was ready to scream at this book!
Elizabeth Bower narrates this audiobook and I am telling you - she is just the perfect choice for this book! I love how differently she made both main characters Frankie and Jasmine sound. And when she was doing Jasmine, it was becoming deep in my bones.
I already checked out more books by this narrator and added them to the top of my list!

This book sparked my interest from the prologue and kept it all the way through. Mainly told in the present times with some small flashbacks from the past. Part one is presented from Frankie's point of view and part two is mainly told from Jasmine's point of view, giving us much-needed clarity of what the hell was going on. It was so easy to connect with characters, was easy to love them and hate some of them. That mother-in-law, I could unalive her, seriously, she was so, so annoying, I could not tolerate her!

When Frankie's second pregnancy becomes too challenging to look after their 3-year-old Olivia her husband Russ and his mother (yes, she is part of everything) decide that they will have a live-in nanny! No one asks what Frankie wants and she can't win against them two. This is where perfect Jasmine arrives. She is like a modern-day Mary Poppins. Frankie feels that something is not right, but she doesn't know that she is in great danger!

Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for this fantastic book!

This is a great debut domestic thriller which really hooked me in. As I listened I felt very pleased with myself because I thought I had everything sussed. But then came the shocking, unexpected climax and I realised I m not as clever as I thought I was 😁 Well done Claire Lynn!

I enjoyed the narration by Elizabeth Bower.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC opportunity!

Wow wow wow. This one was GOOD. It had me going back and forth on how i was feeling about most of the characters. I had a feeling that Jasmine was going to be on her side or that something happened with her and him before but couldnt be for sure.

My only complaint is how dense Frankie was sometimes. Like girl, your daughter is straight up telling you PAPA and you are not listening.

The ending was also so satisfying.

This was an enjoyable audio book, nothing too surprising but I felt like I wanted a bit more from the story as this type of thriller has been done so many times. The audio book does grip your attention and is well done and will keep you engaged. This is the first book I have read by the author and interested to try another one to compare. Thanks to netgalley & the publisher for this audio arc.

I'm Here to Help by Claire Lunn offers a really good depiction of a toxic mother-in-law relationship, as well as an unhealthy marriage. I love how everything unfolds, but did find it a bit slow. I hate when a MC jumps to conclusions without any proof. I figured out most of what was going on and found myself rolling my eyes at Frankie's behavior, but I still enjoyed the writing, which is why I rate it 4 stars.

Elizabeth Bower is a great narrator. When the story switched POV, I swore there was a second narrator!

I know I’m going to really enjoy an audiobook in this genre when I don’t want to listen after the prologue & 1st couple of chapters because the tension is so high! But I obviously did listen and I did really enjoy it.
Wonderfully narrated to a reader who skilfully brings all of the characters to life and adds to the emotions and suspense in the book with perfectly-timed tone and pace.
This author is new to me, but given the mastery of weaving such a tale that hooks the listener and draws them into the story until they are living it alongside the characters, I will most definitely be looking out for more from her. Twists and turns had me gasping aloud, shouting at the characters and holding my breath in anticipation of what was to come. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this book & would highly recommend it.

This was a decently entertaining audiobook, but the trope has most certainly been done before. Nothing was twisty or surprising enough to set the story apart from the rest. I will say, getting to the conclusion was entertaining enough to keep me engaged in the storyline and wanting to listen. I did like the idea of females looking out for each other. I was expecting to hear more about Petunia, the mother in law, at the end and have her get a bit of karma.

I listened at 1.75x and found that the narrators were great and easy to understand.

All in all, a decently entertaining audiobook. It has been done before, but it was entertaining enough.

A massive thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the chance to listen to this advanced copy.

Claire if this is your debut I LOVVVVED it! It wasn’t quite a 5⭐️ and that’s only because I found the 2nd half stronger than the 1st. I loved Frankie’s story. Well done you

It’s always the nanny, or is it? Jasmine seems to be a blessing. As a nanny, she is a dream and perfectly anticipates Frankie’s needs. Frankie, dealing with a troublesome pregnancy, is not a fan of the overly eager nanny. She is convinced Jasmine has a hidden agenda. Is Jasmine nefarious, or simply misunderstood? This domestic thriller resembles a Lifetime movie in all of the best ways. Tension is high as secrets are revealed. The conclusion is both shocking and satisfying. Elizabeth Bower masterfully brings the story to life adding intrigue and a constant sense of foreboding. Thank you, NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for my audiobook.
