Don't Let Her Stay

I loved this book because its true-to-life setting created a situation that I could actually see happening—of course, on my worst day! The curious study in contrast between the characters' dialogue and their unseen motives left desperate cliffhangers with each chapter, leaving me dangling along with them.

The intrigue left me wanting more and the book just “called” me even though I was busy with other things.

This book was full of nail-biting suspense that left me thirsting for more every time I was forced to put it down. And that ending—holy cow! I was not expecting such a shocking twist after what already turned out to be a thrilling showdown between the main character and the villain.

I could easily see this becoming a hit horror/thriller movie; it was just that captivating. I’ve already added All The Lies by this same author to my reading list so I can continue devouring her work! 

When Jo’s stepdaughter Chloe comes to stay, she’s excited to introduce her to baby Evie. Unfortunately, Chloe is the stepdaughter from hell. Don’t Let Her Stay is such a clever book, based on a simple premise but delivers so much, with secret after secret making me gasp out aloud.

I reckon it’s the realism in this book that makes it so compelling. The characters jump off the page, and just when you think you have it all figured out, bam, you don’t! As a veteran psychological thriller reader, it’s rare that I’m totally surprised.

This one got me and stayed… show more.
