Holy smokes! What a whirlwind of a book!
Two 4 year old girls go missing and the police are trying to figure out where they are. They both share a nanny and their parents used to be friends up until recently.

This domestic thriller will have you on the edge of your seat, wondering what’s going on. The ending is insane!

The only difficulty is trying to remember all of the characters and their relations to each other. Other than that, it’s a fantastic audiobook with a perfect narrator.

Fans of Freida McFadden, Miranda Rijks, and Kiersten Modglin will definitely love this book as well.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Bookouture Audio for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.

That was a confusing but ultimately really good audiobook. Several points of view made it a little confusing since there was only one narrator but if you follow closely you are able to figure out who is who. I found the abundance of characters to be a lot too.
They do all sort of intersect and the end is a bit of a surprise. Interesting domestic psychological thriller with some unexpected twists!

3.5 rounded up: Two 4-year-old neighbor girls have gone missing in the night. One thing they have in common is their nanny, but what else would connect these two girls and lead to them both being taken? The girl's parents want to have the girls returned but seem to be holding things back in the investigation. What secrets are being kept in this close-knit community?

This was my first Emily Shiner book and what a twisted web it was! I listened to the audiobook, which the narrator was great, but this story is told with many POV and they were a little hard to follow who was narrating on the audio. I think it would have been easier to follow reading it though. The story dives right into the action and wraps up with an unexpected reveal. The middle did get a little bit repetitive due to multiple characters narrating the same discoveries. I enjoyed this book but also struggled with a few things in it. There really wasn't any character that I was cheering for. It is a cast of characters that are all pretty unlikeable but works with the very layered story. The twists kept me going and the ending left me surprised. I will be looking into Emily's other works now too!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture Audio for the audiobook for review.

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!

Chock full of liars, where no one at all can be trusted, this is a great story. You'll twist yourself up in knots as you listen and try to figure out the mystery behind the missing girls. With feuds, fallouts, fraud, and fractious relationships this one is fabulous.

The Nanny Share is a wild, twisty thriller that kept me hooked from the start. The nanny at the center of it all seems trustworthy—until two little girls disappear, and suddenly, nothing is as it seems. Everyone in this exclusive neighborhood has secrets, and as the story unravels, the tension only builds.

The Nanny Share by Emily Shiner is an addictive, twist-filled thriller that keeps you guessing until the very last page. The story unfolds in the exclusive Blackwood neighborhood, where secrets lurk behind every locked door. As the nanny to two little girls, the narrator is at the heart of unraveling family betrayals, infidelity, and deception—until the unthinkable happens: both children vanish without a trace.

Shiner masterfully weaves a web of suspense, making you question every character’s motives. The unreliable narration adds an extra layer of psychological tension, keeping you on edge as the truth slowly unravels. The pacing is tight, with short, punchy chapters that make it impossible to put down.

Thank you Emily Shiner, Bookouture Audio, and Netgalley for the advanced copy!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this audiobook 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 is a wild and thrilling story!!
Two families on the same block, wake up to find their 4 year olds missing from their bedrooms. Both families use the same nanny for their daughters, so of course she’s contacted! Will they be able to find these 2 missing girls?
This story has lots of twists, suspense and secrets! I really enjoyed the different points of views that the story is told from. The book is exciting and intense! I needed to find out what was going to happen next!!

Thank you to NetGalley for an audio version of this book. I enjoyed the narrator too!
*This book comes out February 21st!*

I got a copy of this audiobook from NetGalley.

This was a quick listen, I finished in 2 days. The narrators were great. I took off one start because I felt like the way the cop acted was unrealistic.

This book was amazing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time I was listening. I thought I knew who kidnapped the girls but boy was I wrong. I could not believe at the very end of the book the kidnapper was who it was. I was shocked to learn just how many kids Ryan had and the twisted mess he created for his life. I would never have expected the ending. I hope Emily writes a follow up because I want to know what happened with Ryan and everyone who went to jail and what happens with Kerry and her lies and blackmail she’s holding over Ryan’s head.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC opportunity!

Boy oh boy. This one really kept me guessing til the end. Everyone was corrupt in some way. I was able to guess a few ways but the actual twist, i never saw coming. And then the wrap up? Oof. It just kept going.

This was so well written and I loved it!

3 stars

This was one that you weren’t really rooting for anyone because everyone is pretty terrible? I liked the premise, and although maybe one too many, the twists were pretty good.

The Nanny Share is a non stop, drama filled, twisty popcorn thriller that will have your head spinning. Damn, this one kept me hooked from start to finish, it was absolutely addictive. There are so many secrets, lies to uncover and it was just an absolute treat. Yes you might have to suspend disbelief a little for how crazy the plot is, but trust me for this one it's worth it and it works.

The characters are truly all untrustworthy, despicable. They are all constantly lying to one another, keeping secrets, hiding things, omitting, it is honestly impossible to look away from. Once the twists and secrets start to unravel, they just keep coming! The author managed to keep me guessing all throughout and shock me with those unexpected twists.

Overall, this was a great, fast paced and highly entertaining popcorn thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat. Filled with twists and secrets galore, I thoroughly enjoyed it!

🎧 The narration by Ashley Rose Kaplan was really good. She voiced all the different characters and I think she did great at giving them all a distinct voice to make them distinguishable. She brought suspense and emotions to the storyline. Very enjoyable!

✨️Thank you to @netgalley, @bookoutureaudio & @emilyshiner for my gifted ALC in exchange for an honest review.

A rollercoaster ride of a thriller that will have you completely gripped.

My head is actually in a spin. As someone who is never done complaining that I always guess the twist, this title was so jam packed with twists and turns, multiple characters, multiple pov that I didn’t even hazard a guess at the twist/whodunnit.

Everybody’s hiding something in this exclusive neighbourhood, none of the characters are as pure as they’d like the world to believe and everyone has an agenda, but after this day is out, everything will be laid bare and things will never be the same again!

The audio narration on this title was fantastic!
I highly recommend it.

Huge thanks to Bookouture Audio via NetGalley for the opportunity to listen to this ALC in return for an honest review 🎧

This story is absolutely addictive!
When two little girls who live on the same block, share a nanny and whos parents used to be close friends go missing everyone is a suspect. This story brings all the lies, deception and drama between the families to the surface in the search for whats really going on.
Even the cop assigned to the case may be more connected to one of these families than shed like to admit.
Not as dark and twisty as you may expect of a book with kidnapping, adultery and blackmail at its core. This audio book was insanely addictive and kept me on the edge of my seat trying to figure out just how it all was going to come together.
My first by this author but definitely not my last. I will be keeping my eyed peeled for more bingeable thrillers by Shiner.

4.5 rounded up. A fun domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Daniel Hurst, Frieda McFadden, and Diane Saxon!

Premise- Two little girls go missing from their bedrooms in the same night. Their parents are ex-best friends, they share a nanny, and everyone is keeping secrets. Whose secret is responsible for the girls’ disappearance and will it be uncovered in time to save them?

This cast of characters was so messy in the best way. The adults are mostly not great people, but their secrets are juicy and drip-released to the reader, keeping me hooked chapter after chapter. I couldn’t tear myself away! The twists keep coming until the very end, so don’t get comfy… Top tier pacing.

I listened to the audiobook, narrated by Ashley Rose Kaplan. She delivered an engaging, varied read with distinct enough character voices and tones that I never had any trouble knowing who was speaking/thinking. It was a great listen and I highly recommend enjoying this story in audiobook format!

This was a pretty good thriller! It had me hooked from the beginning! I had to know what was going to happen next. It kept my interest throughout the whole book. I listened to the audiobook and it was really good as well. I couldn’t stop listening to it. The twists surprised me. I didn’t see it coming. This is a new to me author. I definitely want to check out her other books!

3.25⭐️

I had a hard time with this one as I we all I enjoyed the story and I think consuming the audiobook helped a bit but there were some huge problems in the writing that I couldn’t get over.

First, the narrator Ashley Rose Kaplan did a decent job with the recitation of the material. She gave enough emotion to connect the story without going overboard. She spoke at an ok pace for the 1x speed but I speed it up to 2x to listen to the majority.

For the issues.

1) parents have missing kids but did not act at all like it. Everything that they did wasn’t anything that even a crappy parent would do if their 4 year olds weren’t in their beds in the morning.

2) the 4 year olds didn’t act like 4 year olds either. Some of the info given about them was incongruous with an older toddler.

3) the “twist” come completely out of left field. Good thrillers have a twist where when you find out you can slap your forehead and put all the pieces together, but here? No.

4) there was repetitive information that just wasn’t needed.

5) my pet peeve of authors using “bile burned the back of my esophagus”. It doesn’t make sense since bile is. It’s not in the stomach unless you have a medical condition of bile reflux or a situational issue of a completely empty stomach. It’s not a replace for a stress situation where STOMACH ACID rises up.

6) this needed a developmental editor as things with the detective/cop info just wouldn’t happen. I’m not going to say it as I don’t want to spoil things but it was frustrating.

Even with all that said, I did enjoy the bones of the story and I wanted to know what happened. So I am thankful to have gotten the ALC for free from Bookouture Audio through NetGalley to read which gave me the opportunity to voluntarily leave a review.

My rating system since GoodReads doesn’t have partial stars and I rarely round up.

⭐️ Hated it
⭐️⭐️ Had a lot of trouble, prose issues, really not my cup of tea (potentially DNF’d or thought about it)
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meh, it was an ok read but nothing special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Really enjoyed it! Would recommend to others
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding! Will circle back and read again
