This is another entertaining quick read from Laura Wolfe. It has several twists and turns. Looking forward to the next one.

Loved this book, devoured it in an afternoon! So many twists, turns and lies! Highly recommend! Thanks Net Galley

The author takes the role of 'prodigal daughter' and adds many unexpected twists. After a troubled and tumultuous childhood and spending time in a group home, Riley went to live with Wendy and George, who served as her foster parents. A series of events caused her to run away, and it's been radio silence on her end for years--until she shows up at the couple's door with her four-year-old son, running from the police. She has no idea how she will be received, but to her shock and relief, the couple is thrilled to see her again.

The main theme in this story was the age-old question, 𝑪𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒂𝒔𝒕? I was suspicious of every character in this book; their motive, what they may be hiding, and what they stood to gain. The tension was high, and while I did figure out the direction the story was heading, that didn't detract from my enjoyment one bit.

Filled with flawed, believable characters and packed with surprising twists, THE FOSTER DAUGHTER will keep you reading long past your bedtime. Many thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for this early read. At the time this review was written, this title was expected to publish October 11, 2024.

I always love this authors book so when I seen this I could not wait to read it and wow it certainly did not disappoint. I was gripped from start to finish I did not put it down. The book was full of twists and turns which kept me on edge all the way through.

Riley ran away from her foster parents when she was a teenager never to be heard from again. Until she shows back up at there front door years later with a young child in tow. But why did she run away and what is she hiding now that she has came back.

This was by far one of my favourite books ever I was so gripped needing to know what was going to happen next and how it was going to end. It was very well written with characters you grow to love. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone. Fantastic! Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this great thriller.

Wow, this is some novel! A real explosive thriler that i devoured in a day, it dragged me along from the first page. I loved it, the twists were good and overall a satisfying ending. Read it now!

Wendy and George used to foster teenagers, until one of the girls ran away. The authorities would not permit them to foster children any longer.
Riley, the runaway, returns years later, with her son, and picks up where she left off - living with the foster parents.

There are so many secrets and lies and twists in this book. Every character has something to hide.
I did predict part of the plot very early on in the book, but enjoyed the journey thoroughly.
You know when you start a book when you go to bed? Well, I shouldn't have done that!

Solid 4.5 stars from me.

I’ve just finished the best thriller! If you’re looking for something to read that will keep your attention, pick up The Foster Daughter!

As soon as you open the book, you dive straight into the action. I had the feeling I was going to enjoy this book a lot.

And I did indeed. There is a lot of speculation and finger pointing. Lies are being found out and vicious secrets are floating to the surface. Friendships are being rekindled and new ones are being formed. Pasts are being left behind and the foundation for a new life is being laid. 

The question is though : can you really leave the past behind? 

I loved the surprises the author had in store. When a story is well build and things I did not expect to happen, happen, this really puts a smile on my face. But I am in awe too. I admire the way the author manages to glue me to the book with amazing storytelling. 

Sleep is so overrated when you are immersed in an excellent story like this one. 5 stars

Thank you
