An exciting twisty read which had me engrossed in the storyline from the beginning until the end. Good characters who are unbelievable and can't be trusted.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for this ARC which I can thoroughly recommend.

Aloha!! I loved this book!! Could not get enough of the twist! I was all over the place with who did what!!! Emily Shiner has done it once again!!

Wow what a crazy story that kept me guessing right until the last chapter. Seems like just about everyone is lying and two adorable little girls are missing. Just when you think you know what is going on another twist is there to confuse you.

I love being a nanny. But now, the two little girls I nanny for are missing. Soon the police will be at my door and I can’t let that happen again. I’ll tell them I’m innocent, but will anyone believe me?! Good book! Wow this book had so many wild twists I wasn’t sure who was who at times! It also had great suspense, intriguing, murder, mystery, juicy family secrets, and a shocking who done it! The story was very interesting! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I’m going to start by saying I find it very hard to believe that the cop would be allowed in this case when she slept with one of the “possible kidnappers.”
That being said, I think this is my favorite book by Emily so far. Two neighborhood kids go missing. So many secrets between these two families, as well as the nanny and her boyfriend. def some dirt bags in this book and so many twisted connections. It did get a little ridiculous at the end though

This was a quick read for me time wise but I felt like this book was far too long for what actually happened in the book . The book was twisted but by the end the twists became annoying . I don’t usually gravitate towards this Author and this book reminded me why .

I’ve just had the privilege of reading Emily Shiners latest novel. The Nanny Share.
Emily has done it again. This is a roller coaster of a ride. 2 girls missing in a gated community.
Secrets and guilty consciences galore
This book kept me gripped from the first page to the explosive ending.

Emily Shiner’s The Nanny Share is a gripping, fast-paced thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats from the very first page. Shiner masterfully crafts a story full of twists, secrets, and suspense, beginning with every parent’s worst nightmare: waking up to find a child missing.
The tension deepens as another family in the same gated community experiences an identical tragedy on the same night. Two missing children. Two devastated families. One once-close friendship fractured by a mysterious falling out.
The story unfolds through shifting narrators, with each chapter offering a new perspective. While this adds depth and intrigue, it can be challenging at first to keep track of who is who. However, once I got acclimated to the cast of characters, it became much easier to follow—and the shifting perspectives added layers of complexity to the mystery.
Shiner weaves an intricate web of suspicion and intrigue as the layers of each character’s secrets unravel. The gated community, meant to be a haven of safety and privilege, transforms into a claustrophobic maze of suspicion, lies, and hidden motives.
Fans of psychological thrillers will relish the way The Nanny Share keeps them guessing. With expertly placed clues and shocking revelations, Shiner ensures that no one—not even the reader—can be entirely sure who to trust.
For those who enjoy stories that explore the complexities of human relationships under pressure and the dark secrets people hide behind closed doors, this book is an absolute must-read. The Nanny Share proves that even the most idyllic communities can harbor the most chilling of mysteries.

This was a page turner that I finished in one sitting. Should you ever trust a nanny with your children? Keep reading to find out.

What a belter this book was as soon as I began reading, I could cut the suspense with a knife, suspense which didn't ease off until the end. I was completely hooked! As psychological thrillers go, this is one of the best l've read so far in 2025!
There were many unexpected twists and turns that gripped from the from start to finish. In terms of a favourite character I found it hard to pick one I secretly liked them all as they had their own trials and tribulations throughout the book.
I’d highly recommend this book another suspenseful and jaw- dropping book by Emily Shiner! Keep the lights burning, you will be up late to finish this one!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 stars

From the very first page, The Nanny Share gripped me and didn’t let go. Emily has masterfully crafted a story that pulls you into its whirlwind of organized chaos. The tension and intrigue were palpable as each character's secrets unraveled, leaving me breathless with every twist and turn.
One of the book’s greatest strengths is its pacing—there wasn’t a single moment that dragged. The clever use of alternating narrators added depth and allowed me to step inside the minds of every key player in this devious, multilayered game. The connections between the characters were as compelling as they were surprising, keeping me guessing right up until the end. And what an ending it was, satisfying and wholly worth the journey.
I wholeheartedly recommend The Nanny Share to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced thriller with well-thought-out twists. But fair warning: don’t pick this up at night unless you’re prepared to sacrifice sleep! This is, without a doubt, one of Emily’s best works.
