I love books like The Perfect Nanny with so many twisty WTF moments! I love veering one way thinking I know what’s next only to then be yanked another way! I loved the alternating chapters written in first person perspective. I loved thinking I knew the final twists only to be shocked over and over! My feelings toward all of the characters kept changing from page to page! Disgust, pity, love, fear, and all over the place! These ladies are amazing authors and I’m totally addicted to their writing! I can’t wait to read more! This book gets 5 huge stars from me!!!

Huge thanks to HQ and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book in advance in exchange for my honest review!

With twists and turns a plenty, this book will keep you guessing into the night as you won’t want to put it down!

Liv needs to find a new nanny position and soon finds another mum, Sophy, who is struggling to care for her son. But are things as they seem? Why is Sophy struggling so much and why is Liv so keen to help?

This book is well written, told from the points of view of the different characters. The characters are well developed and you soon get hooked in, trying to decide quite what is going on!
I don’t want to give anything away but will say you may have an idea of what is happening but you certainly won’t see some twists coming!

Thank you to Netgallery, the publishers and most importantly the author, for the chance to read this book, in exchange for an honest review.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. I love a good thriller/mystery and this one seemed very promising.

Liv lost her brother to suicide when she was a teenager. She desperately wants someone to blame for his death.. His best friend Ryan tells her of a girl he was in love with and broke his heart. Years later Liv finds Sophy...the one she is convinced sent her brother into depression and pushed him to suicide. Sophy is married with a new baby. This makes Liv even more furious. Sophy shouldn't be happy when her brother never had the chance for happiness. She worms her way into Sophy's life prepping for revenge.

I thought this book would be super predictable. However, the author was able to throw in some twists and turns I didn't see coming! This was a wild ride and I would happily recommend this book to others!

3.5 The Perfect Nanny is a fairly entertaining page turner. Liv is bitter and wants revenge for her brother's death many years prior. She blames Sophy, his girlfriend from university. Meanwhile, Sophy is a new mom and not handling motherhood, or anything, well. Liv is able to manipulate her way into Sophy's home to become her nanny. All in all, a good domestic suspense drama that will keep you wanting more - however I found they give you too much more. There is so much going on, things coming at you from everywhere. And even with all the red herrings, it is pretty obvious what is going on. I did enjoy but would have loved it more if it had been a little tidier and not so obvious.
Thank you to NetGalley and HQ Digital for the advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion. The Perfect Nanny is available on 3/31/21.

what a great book, easy reading, couldnt put it down, real twist in the end, cant keep a bad mother in law down!

Oh wow! I couldn’t put this book down! This book is about a nanny, Liv, who is trying to seek revenge for her brother’s death. She blames her brother's ex girlfriend for his death and will stop at nothing to ensure she enacts that revenge. What unfolds is not what I would have expected! I stayed up way past my bedtime just to see how this book ended. It was fast paced and intriguing to see how things unfolded. Highly recommend this book if you want to get sucked in! Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Just finished reading this...
What a great fast paced read. I liked the characters and even liked to hate some of them... If you read it, you will understand!
Brilliant writing and really enjoyed. The reason I give it 4 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ and not 5 is because I figured out one big part straight away. This didn't distract from the story though as I wasn't sure until the end!
Recommended read. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers and the authors for the privilege to read this book for my honest opinion

The Perfect Nanny by Karen Clarke and Amanda Brittany had me flipping pages all night and despite my sleepy eyes in the morning I was not mad about it. The story focuses on a woman named Liv’s obsession with getting revenge for her brother’s death. Liv holds her brother’s ex-girlfriend, Sophy, responsible for her brother’s suicide. Her haphazard plans include nannying for the ex-girlfriend’s newborn son, but the plot quickly shifts leading the reader to wonder if there is more than one character seeking revenge against Sophy.

This is easily an airplane read or a book to read by the pool, because of its quick pacing and easy narrative. I loved the way the authors threw suspicion towards many of the outlying characters to build suspense. In the end, all the loose ends were wrapped up neatly and I will happily look for more reads from Clarke and Brittany. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced review copy in exchange for my honest review.

Sophy and Liv alternately tell this tale of motherhood and revenge that's a wild page turner. Sophy has been struggling since the birth of baby Finn 9 months ago so she's thrilled that Liv will be their nanny. What she doesn't know is that Liv has been looking fro Sophy for the last 16 years because she blames her for the suicide death of her brother Ben. Sophy doesn't realize that there's something bad afoot for far too long, in part because she's also dealing with a pretty rotten mother in law. No spoilers from me but know that you will occasionally think- oh no she didn't. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC. It's fast plot driven entertainment with interesting characters- a very good read.

I really wish the author had trusted the reader more with this novel - the book is fairly well-written but the clues as to the villain's identity are so heavy handed right from the start that I found it difficult to enjoy. I liked the central premise but I feel like the book lacked nuance and subtlety. I would have much preferred being left to work things out along the way - as it was I felt like I was being forcibly directed, which took the pleasure out of the read for me.

I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy this, and the review isn't meant to be harsh, but as someone who reads a lot of thrillers and likes trying to put the puzzle pieces together myself, this one was just way too obvious for me.

Thank you to NetGalley, and to the publisher, who provided me with a free ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It should be a time of happiness but for new mum Sophy Pemberton, her nine-month-old baby boy is not a good sleeper, leading her to feel wiped out all day long. So when she meets Liv at a mother and baby group – Liv is a nanny to one of Sophy’s neighbour’s children – and her new friend offers her services to help, it seems to come at the right time. Liv’s presence means Sophy can rest and finally begin to come back to herself. It should be the ideal scenario but Liv’s got a secret, a reason why she wants to fit into Sophy’s life and it’s something that makes Liv want to stop at nothing to ensure she gets the revenge she so desperately seeks. This novel has the reader on edge throughout – you’re never quite sure how far the plot is going to go and that makes for a more exciting, fraught read.

I was kindly #gifted this advanced ebook from @hqstories and @netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I devoured this book in 24hours. It was fast paced and always something happening. I wasn’t sure I really liked Sophy or Liv that much but the further I got into the book and read into their back stories my views changed. I also really liked the alternating chapters. Whilst there was a lot of predictability about elements of this book the ending itself took me by surprise. It held my attention and I was itching to pick it up so for me this is the sign of a great book. I would definitely recommend this book to you all. I will be looking out for more from both of these authors.

The Perfect Nanny is about two women Sophy the mum and Liv the nanny what a fabulous book a real page turner so many characters in the mix we have the mother in law who wants to take over, as Sophy is always tired and not coping very well then Liv comes along which puts a spanner in the works and the very nosy neighbours makes the book very addictive I definitely recommend it and thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an early copy.

This is one of the best books I have read recently ! It was full of twists and red herrings. I couldn’t put it down. The characters are so believable that I was totally mesmerised. I just wanted to shout out “look at what you are missing!!!!”

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and it's a real page turner (or swiper of you're a kindle reader). Sophy and Liv are two very different women, connected by Liv's brother, Ben. Hell bent on seeking revenge for Ben's death, Liv decides to take everything away from Sophy, who is very vulnerable after giving birth to her baby boy, and feels as if she is going mad. The characters all come into the frame at some point, and I was convinced on more than one occasion that each of them were responsible for Sophy's decline. I recommend this book.

I received a copy of this e-arc thanks to NetGalley and HQ Stories.

I flew through this book! It follows the two main characters, showing their perspective of the same story. That makes you automatically think one of them is the suspect and the other is the victim which isn’t always the case.

It didn’t seem like there was going to be much to the story until it delved further into Sophy’s story. That’s when the plot came alive with all the little twists and turns.

I had an inkling on who to suspect but dismissed it because surely it can’t be that easy to guess. After that, I just couldn’t figure out what was going on and who it was going to be. When it was revealed, I was as simple as i’d thought at the start! I couldn’t believe i’d doubted myself.

I really enjoyed this book, loved the plot, though the reveal was obvious and rather basic. Maybe that’s just me because i’ve read a lot of mystery/thriller books like this.

WOW, is all I can say about this book! “The Perfect Nanny” is a gripping suspenseful psychological thriller.

This book had me on the edge of my seat with all the twists and turns. Who would you trust with your child?

A 5 star read from the beginning to the end.

I was asked to do an advanced review of this book to be released on 3/31/2021 by NetGalley.

A perfect life is not always how it seems...this book follows the creepy, chilling story of a new mum who hires a nanny who has her own hidden agenda!
So many twists and turns. Once you think you've got it figured out there's another major twist!
I love how this story switched between the different characters and you got to see the story from two different sides. There weren't any stones left unturned by the end of this book which I loved.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down! I highly recommend it.
Thank you to Karen Clarke, Amanda Brittany, NetGalley and HQ Digital for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This book was not as good as I thought it would be from the premise. It was slow paced not grip me until over half way through when the pace picked up. Far fetched in parts. Not terrible but not great.. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to review it.

The perfect nanny is a creepy, chilling, twisty psychological thriller that will keep you guessing until the end!
Sophy and Dom have a baby boy Finn, however sophy has failed to bond with him, constantly feeling tired, dizzy and forgetful, thankfully her mother in law is on hand to help out with childcare, housework and cooking!
Liv a nanny has had a troubled past and has a vendetta against sophy so has to inveigle her way into their home in order to start her plan of making sophy pay for her previous history however misguided this may be!
The plot thickens as sophy becomes more and more tired, ill,and forgetful relying on her mother in law and liv to do the majority of the childcare, why is she so tired?? Why isn’t she getting her messages?? And why do things keep getting misplaced??
Things are not what they seem in this affluent street, who can you really trust?
Thank you net galley for this early read.
