Two 4 year old go missing from the same upscale neighborhood and the main connection is the nanny. Every character was unlikable making it hard to choose who to root for (except the 2 kids). While a little outlandish, the twists were very entertaining

Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it. The story line kept me interested! Thank you for this advance reading copy!

This story had me perplexed from the beginning when two neighbor girls who share a nanny seemingly disappear into the night. There are so many different suspects all with their own agendas that this is a fast=paced mystery. Everyone involved right down to the cops investigating the disappearance seem to be suspicious as well as all of the parents. I couldn't put this book down as we raced to the stunning conclusion which I do not think anyone will see coming. Safe to say do not trust anyone.

Two sweet innocent four year old girls have gone missing. They share the same nanny and she is my prime suspect! The story is told from multiple points of view which I found a little bit confusing but I seem to have got my head around it as I became invested in the plot. The characters were charming on the surface but held dark secrets behind the scenes. The twists were crazy surprising. As was the ending which is left open to interpretation or maybe a sequel. I would love that! As with most Emily Shiner books with this one you should expect the unexpected!

This book was the twistiest ride of the year so far. I was hesitant to read a kidnapping book of young girls because young kids getting hurt is rough for me to read but the focus was really on the adults. It was very mild for a kidnapping story which I liked. The adults on the other hand, they were disasters! I absolutely loved the chaos of everyone’s lives intertwining and all the twists and reveals. I could not put this book down. I was getting so frustrated because I just had to know more. The adults drove me crazy with so little focus on the girls and more focus on saving their own asses but that’s what gave the book so much entertainment. I can’t wait to read more by this author.

First, I want to thank Emily Shiner, Bookouture, and NetGalley for this book so I can bring you this review.

WOWZERS!! Emily Shiner has done it again and brought her readers an unbelievable read that everyone will be talking about! The Nanny Share is every parent's worst nightmare and oh so much more! Picture Law and Order with two missing children from two different families mixed with prime time soapy drama vibes playing in your head and you have The Nanny Share. Yes, this is unlike any missing case you have read before. You must go out and grab this book and put it on your TBR List.

The Nanny Share is fast paced, totally addicting, full of deep dark hidden secrets, full of wicked twists and turns, and revelations that will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about these characters. Emily takes you wild on this one! It is one of her best!

If you were looking for an emotional read with The Nanny Share you may be out of luck with this one. While it pulled on my heartstrings and felt for both families of both of the girls I didn’t shed tears with this one. However, what I did feel was empathy for both families whose daughters who were both friends were both missing.

Not going to lie there was one character in this book I didn’t care for in this book. The more I got to know them the more I started yelling at my Kindle in profanities.

Emily would like to dedicate this book to her Mom for all of her support throughout the years.

I enjoyed this suburban neighborhood of parents behaving badly. Everyone here has secrets. There are some good twists and in the end everything is revealed so the reader can make sense of this one terrible day in a “good” neighborhood. I thought the narration by Ashley Rose Kaplan was excellent. She had a fairly sizable cast to voice and it was easy for me to keep track of who was speaking.

Thank you so much to @bookouture and @netgalley for the advance copy! Thank you so much to @bookoutureaudio for the complimentary ALC!

'He's not the perfect shiny, wonderful man everyone thinks he is. I swear to you, he has everyone duped. He's fooled everyone, and that includes my wife'

‘if a kid was taken in Blackwood, that only means one thing. It was an inside job’

When two four-year-old girls are cared for by the same nanny, an arrangement that came about when their mothers were best friends living just doors apart, everything seems perfect. But a few months later, the girls go missing, and suddenly, no one is above suspicion. Who is responsible? The list of suspects is long, and everyone has their secrets.

I decided to pair the book with the audiobook, and I couldn’t be happier with that choice! It was the perfect match for this psychological thriller, which I found absolutely unputdownable. From start to finish, I was glued to my seat, desperately wanting to know what happened next.

This story is fast-paced, utterly captivating, and filled with dark, hidden secrets. Every twist and turn left me stunned, and it felt like I was on an emotional rollercoaster. The more I read, the more I realized how well everyone was hiding something—making it impossible to guess who was behind the girls' disappearance. The suspense built beautifully, with each page revealing just a little bit more, and I loved how the tension never let up.

The audiobook brought this story to life in such a vivid way, and I really appreciated the multiple points of view. It’s always my favorite part of a story like this, and it gave such depth to the narrative. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, Emily Shiner threw in another unexpected twist that completely threw me off track! I was way off, and once again, I was left piecing the mystery back together. Her writing is incredible, and I’m now eager to explore more of her work!

This book is an absolute must-read (or must-listen)! It's coming out soon, so be sure to add it to your TBR—you won’t want to miss it!

For aficionados of rapid-fire thrillers replete with unexpected turns, The Nanny Share is an essential addition to your reading list. The characters exhibit profound imperfections, the secrets run deep, and the conclusion will undoubtedly leave you gasping for air. #netgalley 3.5 stars

Gripping, chilling and very, very satisfying
Superb writing from this author, a very eye catching cover, this book will go far, 5 stars. Blindingly excellent ... This book should come with a disclaimer as once you start reading you aren’t going to want to walk away. Well done Emily another fantastic book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I love Emily Shiner because her books are always gripping and fast paced. This book was no different, I enjoyed all the different perspectives because all of them added so many layers to the story and had me guessing who took the girls. The twist in the end was really well done and I did not see it coming. I look forward to reading more books by Emily Shiner in the future.

This book was ok. I was able to figure out the twist most of the way there before it happened. I was more intrigued with the situation between the two couples and how the lines blurred so much.

I will share this title on my page on Thursday, Feb 20th.

The Nanny Share by Emily Shiner is one of those psychological thrillers that hooks you right from the start and doesn’t let go. The premise of a nanny whose two little charges suddenly go missing is both chilling and gripping, and the twists keep coming at you in all the right ways.

What I loved most about this book was the tension that builds up slowly but steadily. The protagonist, a nanny who adores the two little girls she cares for, is thrown into a nightmare when they vanish without a trace. The stakes couldn’t be higher because she’s the one with access to both homes—and of course, the police are going to suspect her first. But what I really enjoyed was how we get glimpses into her thoughts and secrets. She’s a character who keeps you on edge, and I couldn’t stop trying to figure out what she’s hiding. Her desperation to keep her past a secret adds so many layers to the story.

The families in the exclusive Blackwood neighborhood are intriguing as well. Each of the families has their own cracks, and as the story unfolds, you start to question who is truly in danger. Is it the nanny, the families, or the little girls themselves? There are so many twists and red herrings that I found myself constantly second-guessing who was behind the disappearance.

If you love fast-paced thrillers with plenty of twists, The Nanny Share is a must-read. The characters are flawed, the secrets are deep, and the ending will leave you breathless.

I get so happy when Emily Shiner has a new book coming out! Two four year old go missing from a gated community. Their nanny of both is hoping the cops don’t suspect her. She has secrets she doesn’t want out. The parents of both girls also have lots of secrets.
I was drawn in from page one and was in suspense the whole time! I definitely was not even close to figuring out the twists!!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this.
Release date February 21, 2025

I was lucky to get the opportunity to be an arc reader for The Nanny Share.

When two four year-old girls from a well off, gated community go missing on the same night and investigation begins. Who could have taken them? The families of both girls are full of secrets and lies and don’t make the task of finding the girdles easy in the police. The only connection between the girls is that the share the same nanny. Or is it??

The last third of the story was full of twists that I was not quite expecting. My only negative points would be that the characters are not very likable. I didn’t find myself cheering on for any of them. I also would’ve enjoyed it if the twist started a bit sooner. Throughout the whole story, you know that everybody has secrets they are holding onto and once all the twists start getting revealed it. It’s an exciting ride.

I give this story ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. It was a fast read that didn’t lose my interest. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for a new domestic thriller. Look for this book, expected release date is Feb 20.

Thank you Emily Shriner and Bookouture for allowing me to be an ARC reader and share my review with other book lovers!

As always, Emily Shiner does a fantastic job crafting a great story! This was such a good book and I couldn't put it down!!

I enjoyed reading this book. It interested me and kept me captivated. It was also really well written. Thank you net galley and the publishers for this arc.

This is the story of a day in the exclusive gated community of Blackwood and the secrets those that live behind the gates hold.
In the morning, Carrie and her husband Daniel awaken to find their 4 year old daughter Emma missing from her bedroom. Then Alison and her husband Ryan find that their daughter Nealie is gone as well. The girls are best friends but haven’t been able to spend much time together as of late because of a falling out between the parents. Both parents call their nanny, Julie, whom they started sharing back when they were still friendly, to come and help find the girls.
Once the investigation begins the action starts to really pick up. The story is told from alternating POVs and there’s even one POV without a name to add to the element of surprise. Who would take the girls and why? What are the parents hiding and what caused the rift between them and does it have anything to do with their disappearance?
You’ll get all the answers and a bunch of twists to keep you guessing-there are some predictable but several that are not.
It’s a great popcorn thriller that I was able to read in one sitting. This was my first by this author but it won’t be my last.
Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for my eArc in exchange for my review.

I thought he this book was awesome. Told in several view points, the character development was great and I really got into each character. It was a twisty ride and didn’t predict the outcome one at all! Love all her books!

A fast paced psychological thriller.
Two young girls are missing, what links the two girls?
They share the same nanny, Julie, they also live in the same gated housing development and the two sets of parents until very recently have been good friends, but there has been a mysterious fall out
The story is told from different points of view and each chapter ends on a clever cliffhanger which urges the reader to keep reading.
Every single person is harbouring secrets, everyone tells lies, a game of cat and mouse., There are multiple plot twists which include blackmail, embezzlement, suspense, suspicion and obsession, this pacy thriller will definitely keep you guessing and what will happen when the truth is revealed?
Many thanks to Net Galley and Bookouture for an ARC of this book in exchange for a review.
