The Night Nanny’s Secret by Kaitlyn Whitfield is a psychological thriller that follows a family’s decision to hire a night nanny to help with their newborn. While the arrangement initially seems perfect, strange events begin to unravel, exposing hidden secrets and lies. As trust crumbles, the family must confront the unsettling truth about the person they invited into their home.

I found The Night Nanny’s Secret to be a mixed bag. The book starts off quite slow, with the first half feeling a bit repetitive as the groundwork is laid for the story. However, once the second half kicks in, the pace picks up and I was drawn into the twists and turns. The suspense builds nicely, and the revelations in the latter half make up for the sluggish start.

While the beginning could have been more dynamic, I enjoyed how the story wrapped up and appreciated the clever plotting in the end. Fans of slow-burn thrillers with a big finish will likely enjoy this book.
3.5/5

WOW! I will never hire a nanny! This book was great! Packed full of lies and secrets and they are all keeping me locked in tight! I finished this in one sitting and I will def be buying this for my 5 star shelf!

This is my second book from this author, and it's another superb psychological thriller.
Andrew, a doctor and Lucy, a gym co-owner have just welcomed the birth of twin baby boys. As with all new parents, they end up completely sleep-deprived. Struggling with all the issues of first parenthood x 2, Lucy starts to doubt her ability as a mother. She tries to convince Andrew they need official help with childcare. At first. he is dead against the idea, but Lucy eventually talks him around. They employ young Evie as a night nanny so that they can catch up with some much-needed sleep. At first, all is well. Evie seems to cope well with the twins, a little too well as she makes Lucy feel inadequate and defensive. Then she starts to question certain aspects of Evie’s behaviour. Her doubts are further exacerbated when money and other items start disappearing. Is Evie sincere or does she have an ulterior motive in seeking work with Lucy and Andrew?
The book is written from both the past and present perspectives. Initially, I thought it be a little slow going, with too much focus on how Lucy was not coping, but it soon became fast-paced and a real page-turner. With multiple twists, The Night Nanny’s Secret is a well-written thriller with creepy undertones.
If you like the genre of psychological thrillers with a creepy vibe, this should definitely be on your list to read
My sincere thanks to NetGalley, Kathryn Whitfield and especially Headline Books for the much-appreciated ARC in exchange for an open and honest review.

This was such a great intense read which I loved. I enjoyed the writing style and how it switches from past to present it definitely built up the suspense. It was full of twists and turns which I loved. It was definitely a fast paced thriller I thought I had it worked out what was going on but wow I was wrong. I will definitely be recommending this to everyone and can’t wait to read more from this author. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this great book.

New mum Lucy is struggling with her new born twins and needs a little help so she can get some sleep. In comes nanny Evie. What is Evie hiding? Is she too good to be true? The suspense building is off the charts and I was knocked for six with the mega plot twist! Unputdownable and immersive!

Many thanks to netgalley, the author and publisher for approving my request to read this book.

I enjoyed this book which centres around Andrew and Lucy who have just welcomed twin baby boys. Struggling with the intensity of parenthood and the sleepless nights they employ a young night nanny called Evie to help them.

I can't go into too much detail without giving much away but there are twists aplenty throughout this story which flicks between past and present really well.

Well written and fast paced with a touch of creepiness The Night Nanny's Secret is an enjoyable psychological thriller which I would recommend for fans of this particular genre-I look forward to more from this author.

Thank you Headline and NetGalley for an early copy of The Night Nanny’s Secret. This was a good read. The description of the babies moves like eating, grunting and noises they make were so real, it brought back memories of my children when they were that small, I won’t give any spoilers away but one of the characters really was abused badly and the twist in that was WOW!!! I liked the characters very much, fast reading and I couldn’t wait to see what was happening. The only downfall was the ending, too much unreal drama unfolded but all in all a great book.

my first read from this Author and very much enjoyed, Luce and Andrew have 2 beautiful twin baby boys. but with Andrew's job Luce not coping with no sleep and the night feeds, her best friend and work partner suggests a night nanny. Andrew is not keen, but she persuades him. everything starts ok but then things go missing and Andrews best friend is opening a gym right buy hers someone will do everything to keep the secrets safe a very addictive and twisty read.

YOUR NIGHTMARE IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING . . New mum Lucy couldn't be more in love with her twin baby boys, but with her husband Andrew's return to long hours at work, she's left to deal with the sleepless nights alone. When her best friend Nina suggests they hire a night nanny, Lucy jumps at the opportunity much to the distaste of her overbearing mother in law! Wow some crazy twists that I did not see coming!! Great read! This book had suspense, intrigue, action, murder, mystery, gas lighting , and a great who done it with a twist! The story was interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Great book. Plenty of twists and turns. You will feel a range of emotions when reading this book. Hang on tight for a killer ending.

This is well written and pacy, and really taps into a parent's fears. That being said, it was somewhat predictable and I saw where it was going fairly early on. I still did enjoy it overall however.

Lucy and Andrew have had twins, and are sleep deprived. They employ Evie as a night nanny, who copes well with the twins so they can catch up on sleep.
Lucy trusts Evie, until money and other goods go missing.

Switching between the past and the present, I found the book to be a little slow in the beginning.
Then the twists started. Yes, twists to make you whip your head around and wonder what the heck just happened!
I don't want to say too much, as I don't want to spoil anyone's opinion of this book, but I can see why Andrew wasn't happy about getting a night nanny.
If you want a page turner, this is the book for you.

Thanks to Netgalley and Headline for the opportunity to read this book.

Andrew and Lucy bring home twin boys from the hospital and really struggle with sleep. So they hire a night nanny to help out. It’s obvious that Evie has a secret or something as there wouldn’t be a book without that! Lucy notices things missing. Her bff Nina ends up in the hospital after she is seen arguing with Andrew. Carl tells Lucy and Nina he plans to open his own gym in competition with theirs. Carl makes some comments and Lucy starts looking into Carl, Evie and some others from their past. As secrets from their joined past come to light, Lucy finds out who she can trust and who had lied to her.

This is an intense creepy read about Lucy, a new mother and her husband, Evie is the nanny and boy... did this tale give me creepy vibes.

It is a well written read and it did not unfold as I expected it to.. With these kind of novels they are usually so predictable but I enjoyed the twists and I loved it..

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for this ARC. The publication date is 5th Dec. I really enjoyed this book and the plot kept me engaged throughout.

I was intrigued by Evie the nanny and wonder what she would do next! It was a real page turner and the twist oh goodness it was unbelievable!

I had a feeling I knew exactly where this was going, and it was just what I wanted to read.
Turns out, it wasn't what I was expecting. It was better, and I read it in one sitting on a long train journey.
It had plenty of twists to keep me happy,
I did not like our main character, who whined way too much about having babies, who actually seemed quite well behaved.
Great pacing, and some good surprises, I was very entertained by this.
Barely noticed the delay on my train.
