This is a great psychological thriller.
Jenna is contacted about a baby that has been left in a box at a fire station to be collected by social services.
The box is purposely placed for babies to be left if the mother’s are unable to care for them.
Jenna was brought up in care herself so is intrigued by the baby being left and persuades her boss to print a story about it.
Evie can’t believe it when she sees a photo of her baby in the paper and is frightened the father will now come after her. He told her to ‘get rid of it - or else’ and she scared he will contact her after seeing the article.
Jenna is also working on a case where a man is spiking women’s drinks and fell victim of him herself.
The two threads come together and leads to a gripping ending.
A great read.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

I enjoyed this book. Fast paced throughout so I finished it really quickly. Some great characters and a great ending.

I enjoyed this book but didn’t blow me away as much as it seemed to for others. A hard storyline about trying to do the right thing for everyone. It had a few twists and likeable characters and a surprising ending. That said I will still look to read more by this author.

This book took me a little bit to get into just because of my own reasons. Once I got into, I really got into it. I had a feeling they were after the wrong person to start with and by the end my jaw had to be picked up off the floor. The way the ending was executed and the set up to catch the right person had me flabbergasted. Excellent writing and story line. I gave this 4 stars as some of the sentences were repeated several times and it bothered me.

First off I want to thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book as an ARC in exchange for my honest thoughts.

I feel like I am definitely in the minority after reading other reviews, but I didn’t love this book. It was interesting enough to keep me turning the pages, but I didn’t find myself pulled in and invested in the storyline. The premise was promising, there were a few twists, even if one was a little obvious to me. I feel that character development was lacking.

All in all I would rate this book 3.5 stars, but I’ll round up to four.

Firstly, I have read all of Casey Kelleher’s books, following her from the beginning and can’t fault them as a whole. Great author and you would do yourself an injustice if you didn’t read her other works.
This book is gripping, with the stories of Jenna herself and baby Holly. A lot of heavy subjects in this book with drunk spiking, sexual assault, intimidation and the use of baby boxes for abandonment.
A good book, few twists and turns and a feeling of reality due to subject choice.

Firstly, thank you so much to NetGalley, Bookouture & Casey Kelleher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for honest feedback!

I feel like I'm in the minority after reading the other reviews, but I didn't enjoy this book... I had high hopes but, for me, it was really predictable & I ended up skimming the majority of the book to find out whether there was a twist hidden somewhere.

There wasn't a hook to reel me in & there was a lot of repetition throughout the book, especially about Jenna and what happened to her at the beginning. It took up about the first 30% of the book.

There should be a trigger warning at the beginning of the book as S*A* is mentioned numerous times throughout the book. It's horrifying that there are men like that out there and this book definitely makes you think.

I would try another book by the author but I won't be reading this one again. I'm sorry but I just didn't get on with this book at all...

BabyHolly was left in a safe box in a fire station to keep her safe Jenna a journalist is determined to find the mother, having this happen to her, with dire circumstances as she finds herself in danger.

It’s definitely an edge of your seat book and I found it very disturbing and I would never have guessed the ending it came as a shock as you think you know but then it takes a very sinister turn,

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookoutre for an ARC

This is brilliantly written, with interesting characters that each have their own viewpoint. I particularly enjoyed the twists, and once again, didn’t see it coming, when the “bad guy” was revealed! Brilliant!!

This is a fantastic read which had me hooked from the first chapter. I found it incredibly difficult to put this book down. I needed to keep reading to find out what was happening to the mother which safely surrendered her baby and if she was safe. I was desperate for them to reunite. The ending oh my, definitely unpredictable and unexpected, I literally couldn’t believe it.

This read captured my attention right away, moments of hurt and revenge entwined to create a story that tugs on your heartstrings whilst having a good pace and levels of suspense.

Evie makes the heartbreaking decision to leave her newborn baby in a fire station, knowing that, as part of a new scheme called Safely Surrendered, her baby will be safe.

Jenna is a journalist and she receives a call from the firefighter who finds the baby. He isn’t happy with this new scheme and wants the information to get out there, for people to realise that the mother’s could be in danger.

Jenna has problems of her own after being drugged on a night out earlier that evening. She has been investigating a group of men who are drugging women.

This is a difficult story to read due to the subjects in the story. However, it is a story that really does need telling.

The two plots in this story work side by side and we learn more about what went on for Evie and gradually find out what happened to Jenna that night.

This is one of those books that makes you sit up and think. This could happen to someone you know, a loved one.

A well written and sympathetically written psychological thriller that tugged at my heartstrings and at times made me feel physically sick.

My thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

what an amazing addictive read very twisty and addictive. Evie will do anything to protect her newborn baby daughter. From the man that rapped her and is still threatening her.so she takes her baby to the police station and places her in the box. Jenna is a newspaper reporter. And she has just broke her big case. But she is now going after the man and group who are drugging girls. don't want to say any more but it's an amazing read someone will do anything to stop Jenna getting to the truth!

Not my favorite book. It was entertaining but just didn’t have me wanting to keep reading it. I’ll give it 3/5 stars.

Wow ok I’m gonna need a minute to get my heart rate down !
Wow just
I loved it ! It was truly mind-blowing amazing full of shocks, twists, scary moments, completely unexpected
I loved Jenna and my heart broke for her so many times
This is such a good thriller / mystery you need to read it

What a great gripping psychological thriller this was. I was gripped from the first chapter and could not put it down was up late into the night reading. It was full of suspense and many twists and turns which I was not expecting.

A newborn baby is surrendered at a fire station when journalist Jenna is called as the fire man who found the baby finds a note inside her blanket saying that the baby is in danger. This story is close to Jenna’s heart as she was also abandoned as a baby. Jenna wants to find the mother but in doing so she may be putting herself in danger. This is told from Jenna,s perspective, the mothers and the culprit which I think helped build the suspense.

This book was full of red herrings I wasn’t sure how it was going to end and wow what a shocking ending which left me gobsmacked. Highly recommend this excellent gripping thriller m. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my advanced copy.

This book was about a newborn that was abandon when it was born
It was a feeling that wasn’t a nice feeling
I hope that she is found
I had an ARC

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the opportunity to read this ARC. This was my first book by this author and I thought it was quite good!!

When Baby Holly is surrendered at the fire station, Jenna (a journalist) is desperate to find answers as to who Holly’s mother is! As we dive deeper into this book, we see the evil side of the men lurking in this city. I was totally captivated throughout this book and the ending I gratefully found to be a surprise!

What a fantastic gripping psychological thriller this is, this author never lets her readers down in her work. And now onto the missing mother a stand alone read to be enjoyed.
A tiny new born, safe in a box, left at the Islington fire station.
Journalist Jenna Stone gets the call from Chris the baby has been left with a note attached, she's in danger please keep her safe, so he knows the mother must be in danger too, and needs to be found.
The new baby boxes on the wall allows the charity to give mothers anonymity so they need never to be found.
As this story starts to unfold we find victims of sexual assaults attacks and rapes, and victims of spiking that pulls Jenna into finding out who the mother is and who is behind doing this to innocent girls and her.
Just needs to be read every chapter to entangle all the gripping details, that will thrill and chill you.
the author once again left me a contented Booklover.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is the 5th Feb 2024. This is the first book I’ve read from this author wow, it has me gripped lots of suspenseful moments and twists and turns that made me read long into the night!

My favourite character was Jenna as I read the book I thought to myself if I was in this position what I would do..There is two characters within this story and both are intertwined by many dark secrets.

Overall, a fantastic book that has all the elements of a brilliant psychological thriller! 😊
